SUBJECT:

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT N05. 50-325/93-19 AND 50-324/93-19)
This refers to the inspection conducted by Richard L. Prevatte of this office
on April 3 - 30, 1993. The inspection included a review of activities
authorized for your Brunswick 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 observation of
activities in progress.
'
The report concludes that the preparations for plant startup and the approach
to criticality were conducted in a professional and safety conscious manner.
Good command and control was exhibited with minimal distractions to the
operators.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your act'vities regarding
improper clearance tags appeared to be in violation of NRC requirements, as
specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice). The violation is of
concern because it is similar to a violation contained in the Notice sent to
you by our letter dated August 25, 1992.
Recurring violations are of
particular concern because the NRC expects licensees to learn from their past
failures and to take effective corrective actions. Although NRC does not
,
'
normally consider monetary civil penalties for Severity Level IV violations,
the Enforcement Policy states that such penalties may be imposed for Severity
Level IV violations that are similar to previous violations for which the
licensee did not take effective corrective action.
In this case, we have
decided not to hold an enforcement conference nor to propose a civil penalty
- because of the low safety significance of the specific event.
In your
response to the enclosed Notice, you should document the specific actions
taken and any additional actions you plan to prevent recurrence. We will
review your response, including your proposed corrective actions, and the
results of future inspections to determine whether further NRC enforcement
.
action is necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
