SuBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-397/98-19 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Parrish:

From July 19 through August 29, 1998, an inspection was conducted at your Washington

Nuclear Project-2 reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that

inspection.

During the inspection period, the conduct of licensed activities at your facilitywas highlighted by

material condition deficiencies associated with the emergency diesel generators.

Your staff

effectively identified the root causes of those deficiencies and took appropriate corrective

actions to resolve them. However, in the process of investigating the root causes, several

performance weaknesses

were identified. A cited violation against 10 CFR 50.59 was identified

when, in the process of testing the Division II emergency diesel generator, your staff approved

a test procedure that should have required a change to Technical Specifications.

The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances

surrounding the violation are described in detail in the enclosed re'port. The NRC has

concluded that information regarding the reasons for the violation, and the corrective actions

taken and planned to correct the violation to prevent recurrence, is already adequately

addressed

on the docket in the enclosed report. Therefore, you are not required to respond to

this letter unless the description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or

your positicn.

In that case, or if you choose to respond, you should followthe instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice.
