Subject:

Inspection 50-219/81-01

This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Mr. J. A. Thomas of this

office on January 5-31, 1981 at the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station,

Forked River, New Jersey of activities authorized by NRC License No. OPR-16 and

to the discussions of our findings held by Mr. Thomas with Mr. J. T. Carroll and

other members of your staff periodically during this inspecticn.

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the Office of Inspection

and Enforcement Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within

these areas, 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 one of your activities

was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the

Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.

This item of noncompliance

has been categorized into the levels described in the Federal Register Notice

(45 FR 66754) dated October 7, 1980.

You are required to respond to this letter

and in preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix

A.

,

Item A in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter was identified

during a previous inspection of your licensed activities on May 2-30, 1980 and

was documented in the enclosure to our letter dated August 11, 1980.

Your

letter to this office dated September 3, 1980 stated:

"This occurrence will be

discussed with the Operations personnel as an example of the problems that can

occur when alarms are not promptly followed up avi corrected.

This material and

a directive memo from the Operations Supervisor w1',1 be promulgated to all

Operations personnel."

From our January 5-31, 1981 inspection it appears that

the stated corrective actions were not effective since this item has recurred.

Recurrent and uncorrected items of noncompliance are given additional weight in

the consideratio" and selection of appropriate enforcement action.

Therefore,

in your response to this letter, you should give particular attention to those

actions taken or planned to ensure that identified items of noncompliance will

be completely corrected and will not recur.
