Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by R. F. Rogers of this office on

December 16-19, 1978, January 1-3,

and January 29 - February 9,

1979, of

activities authorized by NRC License Nos. DPR-57 and NPF-5 for the Plant

Hatch facilities, and to the discr.ssion of our findings held with Mr. M. Manry

periodically during the inspection intervals.

Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the

enclosed inspection report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of

selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews

with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

During the inspection, it was found that certain activities under your license

appear to be in noncompliance with NRC requirements. These items and references

to pertinent requirements are listed in the Notice of Violation enclosed here-

days of your receipt of this notice, a written statement or explanation in reply

including: (1) corrective steps which have been taken by you and the results

achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further noncom-

pliance; ano (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

One new unresolved item resulted from this inspection and is discussed in the

enclosed report. We are concerned about this item involving a Unit 2 short

period which occurred on January 31, 1978. In your response to this letter,

please address the steps taken to improve your administrative controls and

operator training to preclude recurrence of similar events.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,
