Docket Nos. 50-317
50-318
Mr. Robert E. Denton
Vice President - Nuclear Energy
Baltimore Gas and Electric Company
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant
1650 Calvert Cliffs Parkway
Lusby, Maryland 20657-4702
Dear Mr. Denton:
SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND ENFORCEMENT CONFERENCE RESULTS
(INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-317/93-14 AND 50-318/93-14)
This letter refers to the enforcement conference held with you and members of your staff on
August 5,1993, in the Region I offices. The enforcement conference was held to discuss the
apparent violations identified in inspection reports listed in the subject line. The apparent
violations dealt with the recurrent excessive use of overtime to accomplish safety-related
tasks and the adequacy of nondestructive examination procedures.
Based on the results of this meeting, the activities discussed above appear to be in violation
of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice). The
,
violation is of concern because it represents two examples of a failure to take effective or
timely corrective action. The failure to properly control the overtime worked by
nondestructive examination technicians should have been prevented by your corrective action
for a recent similar violation. The second example was a failure to correct a long-standing
problem where nondestructive examination procedures used for magnetic particle testing of
safety-related examination did not specify all the parameters of the examination required by
,
the applicable ASME Code. Further, the record of the examination did not fully describe
how the examination was conducted.
During the meeting, we discussed the series of violations relating to nondestructive
l
examination that have been identified by the NRC over the last three years. In that
'
discussion, you noted changes that are under consideration to strengthen your performance in
'
,
this area. In your response to the Notice, please provide a discussion of the enhancements
.i
that you have made or are planning to make in the nondestructive examination program for
i
the Calvert Cliffs facility.
