Subject: NRC' Inspection of Rancho Seco
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. R. Thomas
and F. Wenslawski of this office on December 12-16,1977 of
.
activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-54, and to the dis-
cussion of our findings held by Mr. F. Wenslawski with Mr. R.
Rodriquez and other members of your staff at the conclusion
of the inspection.
The inspection was an examination of the activities conducted under
your license as they relate to radiation safety and to compliance
with the Commission's rules and regplations and the conditions of
your license. The inspection consisted of selective examinations
of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel
and observations by the inspector.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of
your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC require-
ments, as set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as
Appendix A.
These items of noncompliance have been categorized into
a level as described in our correspondence to all NRC licensees dated
i
December 31, 1974.

This notice is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.201,
of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal
Regulations. Section 2.201 requires you to submit to this office,
within twenty (20) days of your receipt of this notice, a written state-
ment or explanation in reply including (1) correcti* e steps which have
been taken by you and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which
will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full
compliance will be achieved.
In addition to' the items of noncompliance identified in Appendix A, it
was disclosed during the inspection that one of your activities appeared
to deviate from a comitment made in answer to a previous Notice of
Violation. This item is described in Appendix B.
In your response to
the enclosed Notice of Violation, you should also give us your comments
on this item, a description of any corrective steps that have been or
will be taken, and the date all corrective actions were or will be com-
pleted.
The findings from this inspection indicate an item of noncompliac.ce
which is identical to one which was identified during a previous NRC
,
inspection and described in our letter to you dated December 22,1976.
i
The repetitive item invo'aved the initiating of a handwritten procedural
'
change which had not been reviewed or approved by management in accord-
ance with Technical Specifications. We are concerned about the capability
of your management control system to implement thorough and permanent
corrective actions. Consequently, in your reply, you should also
describe in particular, thos.e actions taken or planned to improve the
effectiveness of your managment control system to preclude the recurrence
of items of noncompliance.
In accordance with Section 2.790'of the NRC's " Rules of Practice,"
Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter
and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC's Public
Document Room.
If this report contains any information that you
believe to be proprietary, it is necessary that you submit a written
application to this office, within 20 days of the date of this letter,
requesting that such information bh withheld from public disclosure.
The application must include a full statemerit of the reasons why it
is claimed that the information is proprietary. The application should
be prepared so that any proprietary information identified is contained
in an enclosure to the application, since the applicaticn without the
enclosure will also be placed in the Public Document Room.
If we do
not hear from you in this regard within the specified period, the
~
report will be placed in the Public Document Room.
