Dear Mr. Schnell:  ;

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. B. L. Bartlett, j

Ms. D. R. Calhoun, and Mr. G. F. O'Dwyer of this office from August' I through

September 18, 1993, of activities at Callaway Plant, Unit 1, authorized by  ;

NRC Operating License NPF-30, and to the discussion of our findings with

Mr. J. D. Blosser and others of your staff at the conclusion of the j

inspection.

.

The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during  !

the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted.of a selective

examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and  ;

interviews with personnel.

'

Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities-appear to

be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of

Violation (Notice). One violation, cited with four examples, involved the

failure to properly follow plant procedures. Although the individual examples

in the cited violation had minimal safety significance, this. violation is of ,

concern.because it is inconsistent with the past excellent performance by your-  ;

licensed operations staff members. As such, it warrants your attention for  ;

proper identification of root cause and effective implementation of corrective

actions. Two other violations were also identified, but were not' cited  :

because the criteria identified in 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C,-Section VII.B

were satisfied. '

}ODIl

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response, you should

document the specific actions taken and any additional actions you plan to:

prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to the 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
