NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-397/98-04 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Parrish:

From March 17-19, 1998, a routine inspection of the liquid and gaseous radioactive effluent

monitoring programs inspection was conducted at your Washington Nuclear Project-2 reactor

facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that inspection.

The inspection results indicated that a good radioactive effluent monitoring program was

implemented; however, a violation was identified related to the quality assurance

oversight of

the radioactive effluent monitoring program.

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

surrounding this violation are described in detail in the enclosed report.

Please note that you are

required to respond to this letter and should followthe instructions specified in the enclosed

Notice when preparing your response.

The NRC willuse your response,

in part, to determine

whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory

requirements.

It is our understanding that during the exit briefing on March 19, 1998, Mr. R: Webring, Vice

President of Operations Support, stated Washington Public Power Supply System would review

the effects on collection efficiency caused by the relocation of the main vent particulate and

iodine samplers.

Please confirm this regulatory commitment in writing within 30 days of the date

of this letter.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we willbe pleased to discuss them

with you.

Sincerely,
