Gentlemen:

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT N0. 50-302/92-27)

This refers to the inspection conducted by P. Holmes-Ray and R. Freudenberger

of this office on October 18 - November 14, 1992. The inspection included a

review of activities authorized for your Crystal River 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

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and obs'ervation 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). Violation A is of concern because it involves the -

inadvertent discharge of borated water into the Reactor Building. Although

prompt and extensive corrective action was taken, the violation is being cited

because of the inherent significance of an operator error of this~ nature.

Violation B is of concern because it involves the failure to comply with

Technical Specification (TS) action statement requirements when equipment

required by TS is renoered inoperable by surveillance activities. Crystal

River's practice of not complying with TS action statement requirements when-

performing surveillance activities is not consistent with the guidelines of

Generic Letter 91-18.

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.

In addition, in your response to Violation B, please address your plans for-

complying with TS action statements during all surveillance activities.
