SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-348/94-07 AND 50-364/94-07
This refers to the inspection conducted by T.M. Ross of this' office on March
14 - April 10, 1994.
The inspection included a review of activities
authorized for the Farley Nuclear Plant.
At the conclusion of the inspection,
and at various times during the inspection, findings were discussed with those
members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.
Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
and representative records, interviews with per.sonnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
Based on results of this inspection, certain aspects of your activities
appeared to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed
Notice of Violation (Notice).
These violations involved ineffective
corrective actions to address past problems regarding the approval of
scaffolding used in the vicinity of safety-related equipment, and the failure
to follow the applicable Technical Specifications Action Statement during
surveillance testing of Nuclear Instrumentation System Power Range channels.
The fact that this violation of Technical Specifications existed for an
extended period of time is of particular concern to the NRC.
You are required to respond to this letter and follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions planned to prevent recurrence of these violations.
Furthermore, the
generic and programmatic aspects of surveillance activities should be
addressed.
After reviewing your response to the Notice, including proposed corrective
actions and the results of any future inspections, the NRC will determine
whether further NRC enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with
NRC regulatory requirements.
