SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/96-08 AND 50-281/96-08
Dear Mr. O'Hanlon:
On July 1, 1996, the NRC completed an- inspection at your Surry Unit 1
and 2 reactor facilities.
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 in accordance with
the "General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions"
(Enforcement Policy), (NUREG-1600).
The apparent violation involves the
failure to maintain the containment hydrogen analyzers in a configuration that
would allow them to perform their safety function following a design basis
event. Accordingly, no Notice of Violation is presently being issued for this
inspection finding.
In addition, please be advised that the number and
characterization of the apparent violation described in the enclosed
inspection report may change as a result of further NRC review.
A predecisional enforcement conference to discuss this apparent violation has
been scheduled for August 7, 1996, at the NRC Region II Office in Atlanta, GA.
The decision to hold a predecisional enforcement conference does not mean that
the NRC has determined that a violation has occurred or that enforcement
action will be taken. This conference is being held to obtain information to
enable the NRC to make an enforcement decision, such as a common understanding
of the facts, root causes, missed opportunities to identify the apparent
violation -sooner, corrective actions, significance of the issues and the need
for lasting and effective corrective action.
In addition, this is an
opportunity for you to point out any errors in our inspection report and for
you to provide any information concerning your perspectives on 1) the severity
of the violation, 2) the application of the factors that the NRC considers
when it determines the amount of a civil penalty that may be assessed in
accordance with Section VI.B.2 of the Enforcement Policy, and 3) any other
application of the Enforcement Policy to this case, including the exercise of
discretion in accordance with Section VII.
This conference will be open to
public observation in accordance with the Commission's continuing trial
program as discussed in the enclosed excerpt from the Enforcement Policy
(Enclosure 2). Although not required, we encourage you to provide your
comments on how you believe holding this conference open to public observation
affected your presentation and your communications with the NRC.

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
