Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. C. E. Alderson of this
office on May 12-13, 1977, of activities authorized by NRC Operating
License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47 and DPR-55 for the Oconee Unit 1, 2
and 3 facilities, and to the discussion of our findings held with
Mr. J. E. Smith at the conclusion of the inspection.
i
Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in
the enclosed inspection report. Within these areas, the inspection
consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative
records, interviews with personnel, and observations by tha 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 Appendix A to
this letter.
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 20 days of your receipt of this notice, a written state-
ment 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 ncncompliance; and (3) the date when full
compliance will be achieved.
Our letter of March 29, 1977, stated, in part, that your reply should
describe actions taken or planned to improve communications among
different organizational groups at Oconee Nuclear Station. Your reply
dated April 20, 1977, described actions taken in thi; regard; however,
based on the findings of this inspection, it appears that communication

problems resulted in the Oconee Operations Croup leak testing of a steam
generator on May 10, 1977, with water w' men the Technical Services Group
had previously determined to contain radioactivity in excess of limits
stated in your procedures.
It appears that additional action to improve
communications is necessary.
i

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
