SUBJECT:

NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-400/98-08

AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Scarola:

This refers to the inspection conducted on August 16 through September 26, 1998, at the

Shearon Harris facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

During the six-weeks covered by this inspection period, your conduct of activities at the

Shearon Harris plant was generally characterized by safety conscious operations and

conservative decision making.

Based on the results of the inspection, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC

requirements occurred. The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation, and the

circumstances surrounding the violation are described in detail in the enclosed report. The

violation is of concern because when viewed collectively with previous NRC violations and

findings by your staff, they exemplify a broader problem with your corpoiate office consistently

adhering to applicable regulatory requirements.

Although your immediate corrective actions to correct the violation were adequate, you are

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

Notice when preparing your response.

Due to the concern described above regarding your

corporate office your response should include a discussion of the broader issue; The NRC will

use your response,

in part, to determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to

ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
