INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT
NO. 50-400/97-04
Dear
Hr. Robinson:
On Hay 10,
1997, the
NRC completed
an inspection at your Harris reactor
facility.
The enclosed
report presents
the results of that inspection.
Based
on the results of this inspection,
one apparent violation was identified
and is being considered
for escalated
enforcement action'n accordance
with
the "General
Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions"
As described in section
H3. 1 of the subject
inspection report, the apparent violation involved
a failure to meet the
requirements of 10
CFR 50.59 for
a maintenance
procedure revision that allowed
removal of the containment missile shields while in Hode 3.
Although this
failure was identified by your Nuclear Assessment
Section
and corrected prior
to expiration of the Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation
action statement,
the
NRC is concerned that your staff failed to recognize
that the procedure
change
would require
a change to the Technical
Specifications.
The circumstances
surrounding the apparent violation, the
significance of the issue,
and the need for lasting and effective corrective
action were discussed
-with members of your staff at the inspection exit
meeting
on Hay 15,
1997.
As a result, it may not be necessary
to conduct
a
predecisional
enforcement
conference
in order to enable the
NRC to make
an
enforcement
decision.
However,
a Notice of Violation is not presently being
issued for these inspection findings.
Before the
NRC makes its enforcement
decision,
we are providing you an opportunity to either
(1) respond to the
apparent violations addr essed
in this inspection report within 30 days of the
date of this letter or (2) request
a predecisional
enforcement
conference.
Please
contact Hilton Shymlock at 404-562-4540 within 7 days of the date of
this letter to notify the
NRC of your intended
response.
Your response
should be clearly marked
as
a "Response to An Apparent Violation
in Inspection Report
No. 50-400/97-04"
and should include for each apparent
violation:
(1) the reason for the apparent violation, or, if-contested,
the
basis for disputing the apparent violation, (2) the corrective steps that have
been taken
and the results achieved,
(3) the corrective steps that will be
taken to avoid further violations,
and (4) the date
when full compliance will
be achieved.
Your response
should be submitted under oath or affirmation and
may reference
or include previous docketed
correspondence, if the

correspondence
adequately
addresses
the required response.
If an adequate
response
is not received within the time specified or an extension of time has
not been granted
by the
NRC, the
NRC will proceed with its enforcement
decision or schedule
a predecisional
enforcement
conference.
In addition,
please
be advised that the
number
and characterization of
apparent violations described in the enclosed
inspection report may change
as
a result of further
NRC review.
You will be advised
by separ ate
correspondence
of the results of our deliberations
on this matter.
During the six weeks covered
by this inspection period,
our inspectors
found
three additional violations of NRC requirements.
We are concerned that for
violation A your staff did not adequately
understand
the intent of the
Technical Spcification 3.0.4.
Even though your staff identified the
violation, the resident
inspector
had to prompt the implementation of proper
corrective actions.
These violations are cited in the enclosed
Notice of
Violation, and the circumstances
surrounding the violations are described
in
detail in the enclosed
report.
Please
note that you are required to respond
to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed
Notice when preparing your
response.
The
NRC will use your response,
in part,
to determine whether fur ther enforcement
action is necessary to ensure
compliance with regulatory requirements.
In accordance
with 10
CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter, its enclosure(s),
and your
response will be placed in the
NRC
Public Document
Room (PDR).
To the extent possible,
your
response
should not
include any personal
privacy, proprietary, or safeguards
information so that
it can be placed in the
PDR without redaction
Sincerely,
,Docket No.
