SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/96-01 AND 50-281/96-01 AND

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. O'Hanlon:

This refers to the inspection conducted on January 7 through February 10,

1996, at the Surry facility.

The purpose of the inspection was to determine

whether activities authorized by the licenses were conducted safely and in

accordance with NRC requirements.

At the conclusion of the inspection, the

findings were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the

enclosed report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress.

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

violation of NRC requirements occurred.

The violation is cited in the

enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding it are

described in detail in the subject inspection report. This violation is of

concern to us because your corrective actions for a Unit 1 overpower event in

1994 failed to identify a similar secondary calorimetric design control error

on Unit 2.

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.

In your

response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional

actions you plan to prevent recurrence.

Your response may reference or

include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately

addresses the required response. After reviewing your response to this

Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future

inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is

necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.

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

this letter, its enclosures, 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 .
