Attention:

Mr. A. L. Oxsen

Acting Managing Director

Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

Enforcement

Conference of November

10,

1992

This refers to the Enforcement

Conference

held in the Region

V office on

November 10,

1992, during which we discussed

issues

related to the August 15,

1992 core power oscillation event.

The subjects

discussed

during the meeting

are described

in the enclosed

Meeting Report

No. 50-397/92-42.

A copy of the

meeting

agenda is also enclosed.

The information presented

during the Enforcement

Conference will be evaluated

and enforcement

action related to these

issues will be the subject of separate

correspondence.

At the Enforcement

Conference,

you discussed

the Supply System's position

regarding the apparent violations discussed

in Inspection Report 50-397/92-37

and the corrective actions which have

been initiated to address

these

issues.

The Supply System's failure to provide effective management

oversight

was

a

significant contributor to this event.

Your presentation

at the Enforcement

Conference

and your letter dated October 30,

1992, indicate that you

understand this concern

and that you have initiated actions which emphasize

responsibility

and accountability at all management

levels.

In accordance

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

a copy of

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

Should you have

any questions

concerning this inspection,

we will be pleased

to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,

9212280288
