Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT N0. 50-160/92-04)
This refers to the inspection conducted by J. L. Kreh of this office on
November 9-10, 1992.
The inspection included a review of activities
authorized for your Neely Nuclear Research Center.
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
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
a
Violation (Notice). This Notice describes a repeat of a noncited violation
discussed in NRC Inspection Report No. 50-160/91-04.
Recurring violations are
of particular concern because the NRC expects licensees to learn from their
past violations and to take effective corrective actions.
In this specific
case, Dr. Karam stated that the corrective action was taken before the
inspection report was issued based on his understanding of the exit
discussion.
We suggest that this and future inspection reports recei_ve a
comprehensive review to assure that any inspection issues are clearly
understood.
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.
