Gentlemen:

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-413/93-32 AND 50-414/93-32)

i

This refers to the inspection conducted by N. Economos of this office on

November 17-19, and November 29 - December 3, 1993. The inspection included a

review of activities authorized for your Catawba 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 4

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress.

.

Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared

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

Violation (Notice).

The violation is of concern because code required nondestructive examinations

on certain safety related welds in both units were omitted from the inservice

inspection plan and therefore were not scheduled for examination. Our concern

is over the possibility that other code required ISI examinations may have

been omitted from the plan in the same manner.

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 .l

actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this l

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.
