INTEGRATED INSPECTION

REPORT 50-387/96-04;

50-388/96-04

Dear

Mr. Byram:

On April 29,

1996,

the,NRC completed

an inspection at your Susquehanna

Steam

Electric Station I & 2 reactor facilities.

The enclosed

report presents

the

resu')ts of that inspection.

During the six week period covered

by this inspection,

your conduct of

activities at the Susquehanna

facilities was generally characterized

by safety

conscious

operation

and

sound engineering

and maintenance

practices.

We found

that you maintained

an effective radiation protection program with continuing

program improvement in various areas.

However, our inspection also noted

certain weaknesses

in high radiation area controls

and radioactive material

controls.

Based

on the results of this inspection,

two violations of NRC requirements

involving control of high radiation areas

and the performance

oF surveys for

radioactive material

were identified.

These violations are cited in the

enclosed

Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances

surrounding

them

are described

in detail in the subject inspection report;

The violations are

of concern

because

there

were multiple examples of the weaknesses

identified

by these violations.

Enforcement discretion

was applied regarding control of radioactive materials

released

from radiologically controlled areas,

because

the deficiency was

identified by your staff and timely and effective corrective actions

were

implemented.

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed

Notice when preparing your response.

In your

response,

you should

document the specific actions

taken

and

any additional

actions

you plan to prevent recurrence.

Your response

may reference

or

include previous docketed

correspondence, if the correspondence

adequately

addresses

the required

response.

After reviewing your response

to this

Notice, including your proposed corrective actions

and the results of future

inspections,

the

NRC will determine

whether further

NRC enforcement

action is

necessary

to ensure

compliance with NRC regul'atory requirements.
