SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-498/93-20; 50-499/93-20 (NOTICE OF
VIOLATION)
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. J. 1. Tapia, and the inspectors
identified in the attached report, of this office on May 23 through July 3,
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 you and those members of your
staff identified in the enclosed report.
l
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.
The purpose of the inspection was to determine
whether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely and in
accordance with NRC requirements.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain activities appeared to be in
violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice).
The violation involved failure to include an active field
t
change in a surveillance test procedure revision.
It is of concern because
actions taken in response to a previous violation failed to prevent the
current violation from occurring.
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 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.
,
in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of
this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
