Dear Mr. Morey:
On August 31. 1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your Farley Nuclear
Plant (FNP) facility.
The enclosed report presents the results of that
inspection.
During the six-week period covered by this ins)ection period. your conduct of
activities at FNP was generally characterized )y safety-conscious operations.
sound engineering and maintenance practices, and careful radiological work
controls.
However, a violation of NRC requirements and a deviation from prior
commitments were identified.
We are particularly concerned about the
deviation that was identified regarding your failure to accomplish important
commitments made to the NRC.
These commitments were a fundamental part of our
basis for approving your Facility Operating License amendment request to
eliminate the Technical Specifications surveillance requirements for response
time testing of critical pressure sensors.
It is essential that you ensure
all commitments of this nature are accomplished.
The violation and deviation are cited separately in the enclosed Notice of
Violation and Notice of Deviation. and the specific circumstances surrounding
them are described in detail in the enclosed report.
Please note that you are
required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notices when preparing your response.
Furthermore,
when you respond to the Notice of Violation related to inadequate as-built
configuration control cited in NRC inspection report 50-348. 364/96-10. you
are also required to address the examples identified in Section El.2 of this
report. The NRC will use your responses, in part. to determine whether
further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory
requirements.
