Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by W. A. Ruhlman and others of this
office on July 7-11, 14-18, and 22-24, 1980, of activities authorized by NRC
Operating License No. DPR-57 and License No. NPF-5 for the Hatch facility. Our
preliminary findings were discussed with T. V. Greene and C. T. Moore at the
site on July 18, 1980 and with you and members of your staff at the Company
offices on July 29, 1980.
This inspection was a comprehensive examination of your management and quality
assurance controls related to licensed activities. Inspection was conducted in
selected key areas of responsibility at both the plant site and the Company
offices. 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 inspectors.
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 herewith
as Appendix A.
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 Regula-
tions. Section 2.201 requires you to submit to this office, within 20 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)
corretive steps which will be taken to avoid further noncompliance; and (3) the
date when full compliance will be~ achieved.
In addition to the need for corrective action regarding these specific items of
noncompliance, we are concerned about the implementation of your quality assurance
program that permitted their occurrence. Consequently, in your reply, you should
describe in particular those actions taken or planned to improve the effectiveness
of your quality assurance program. Item A of Appendix A is an example of an item
of noncompliance which has been cited five times in the past 20 months; therefore,
)
in addition to defining corrective actions for the specified items listed, your
j
response should provide a description of the mechanisms by which the Manager of
Quality Assurance executes his responsibility to assure conformance to quality
l
requirements; specifically, the assurance of the completion of corrective actions.
