SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
l
NRC INSPECTION REPORT N05. 50-528/529/530/93-09
l
'
This refers to an announced inspection conducted by Mr. M. J. Royack of this
office during the week of March 1 through 5,1993. The purpose of the
l
inspection was to determine whether activities authorized by the license were
l
conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. At the conclusion
'
of the inspection the findings were discussed with Mr. G. Overbeck and other
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 personnel, and observation of
!
i
activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, one of your activities appeared to be
in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice).
The attached Notice identifies that on two occasions corrective actions, as
specified in material non-conformance reports (MNCRs), were documented as
being completed when they had not been completed as specified. Closing out of
corrective actions without assuring that the action has been completed is a
concern which requires management attention. We are concerned that this
l
situation may become a programmatic problem since a previous f RC Inspection
Report (50-528/529/530/92-43) also identified that corrective actions may not
have been fully completed or implemented as documented in closure documents.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific action taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
