REPORT

NOS. 50-387/96-01;

50-388/96-01

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Nr. Byram:

On March 18,

1996,

the

NRC completed

an inspection at your Susquehanna

Steam

Electric Station

(SSES),

Salem Township,

Pennsylvania.

The enclosed report

presents

the results of that inspection.

During the six week period covered

by the inspection period,

conduct of

activities at the Susquehanna

facilities was generally characterized

by safety

conscious

operation

and maintenance

practices.

The licensed operator

requalification examinations effectively evaluated

operator ability to safely

operate

the plant and operators

were held to high standards

of performance.

The Inprocess

Corrected

Errors trending

by guality Control personnel

was

considered

a good initiative.

A violation of NRC requirements

was identified, involving a secondary

containment isolation damper that did not fully close during

a technical

specification required surveillance test.

The operators

failed to promptly

identify the degraded

damper condition

and take appropriate

action.

Work

records

show that indication of the degraded

damper

was first observed

four

months earlier;

however,

operators failed to recognize its significance or

engage

the corrective action process.

This violation is cited in the enclosed

Notice of Violation, and the

circumstances

surrounding

the violation are described

in detail in the

enclosed report.

Please

note that you are required to respond to this letter

and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed

Notice when

preparing your response.

The

NRC will use your response,

in part, to

determine whether further enforcement

action is necessary

to ensure

compliance

with regulatory requirements.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.
