NOTICE OF VIOLATION.

Dear Mr. Robinson:

On January

17,

1998, the

NRC completed

an inspection at your Harris reactor

facility.

The enclosed

report presents

th'e results of that inspection.

During the six weeks covered

by this inspection period. our inspectors

found

that your staff generally took

a safety conscious

approach to the operation of

the facility.

One violation was identified for failure to correct

a long

standing design deficiency related to the steam generator

feedwater preheater

bypass

containment isolation valve air actuators.

We are also concerned with

the lack of information pertaining to these actuators

in design

and licensing

basis

documents

which would provide their operational

characteristics.

We are

still reviewing your steam generator

blowdown water

hammer event that occurred

on December

22,

1997.

The violation is cited in the enclosed

Notice of Violation, and the

circumstances

surrounding the violation is described in detai 1 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 par t. to determine whether

further

enforcement action is necessary

to ensure

compliance with regulatory

requirements.
