three apparent violations were

Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC

NUREG-1600.

The apparent

violations involve deficiencies identified in the surveillance

and operation

of the Unit 2 containment cooling fans.

Accordingly, no Notice of Violation is presently being issued for these

inspection findings.

In addition, please

be advised that the number

and

these

apparent

violations has

been scheduled for December

The decision to hold

a

corrective actions,

significance of the issues

and the need for lasting and

effective cor rective action.

In addition, this is an opportunity for you to

point out any errors in our inspection report and for you to provide any

information concerning

your perspectives

on 1) the severity of the violations,

2) the application of the factors that the

NRC considers

the amount of a civil penalty that may be assessed

in accordance

with Section

VI.B.2 of the Enforcement Policy,

and 3) any other application of the Enforce-

ment Policy to this case,

including the exercise of discretion in accordance
