.
VIOLATION)
,
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. J. 1. Tapia, and the inspectors
identified in the attached report, of this office between January 17 and
February 27, 1993. The inspection included a review of activities authorized
,
for your South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, facility. At the conclusion of
the inspection, the 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 personnel, and observations of
activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain licensee activities appeared
'
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
'
Violation (Notice).
The violations are of concern because they represent a
continuation of a negative trend with the adherence to Technical Specification
requirements and the implementation of maintenance activities. Another area
of concern is with the reliability of secondary side-components.

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.'
In your
response, you should document the specific actions 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.
l
In accordance with 10 CFR Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a
copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public
