SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-458/93-17 (NOTICE OF VIOLATION)

This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. W. M. McNeill of this office ,

and Mr. E. T. Baker of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation on June 14-18,

1993. The inspection included a review of activities authorized for your

River Bend Station facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the

findings were discussed with you and those members of your staff identified in

the enclosed report.

The area examined during the inspection is identified in the report. Within

this arer. the inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and

representative records, and interviews with personnel. 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 licensed activities appeared

to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in th~ enclosed Notice of

Violation (Notice). The violation is of concern because it was identified by

the NRC that a failure to follow commitments in Technical Specifications in

performance of the reload fuel analysis for Cycle 5 had occurred.

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 enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

The responses directed by this letter and the enclosed Notice are not subject

to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Pub. L. No. 96.511.
