NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. McCollum:

.

On September 7. 1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your Catawba Nuclear

'

Station. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

A conservative operational approach was noted in two instances.

First, when

,

i

water seepage was identified in the vicinity of buried Nuclear Service Water

!

piping. Unit 2 startup was delayed until the source was identified and

repaired. Secondly, when a Residual Heat Removal pump motor failed, refueling

'

i

was not initiated until the pump could be returned to an operable status

although Technical Specifications would have allowed refueling with the pump

i

unavailable.

I

Violations of NRC requirements were also identified by the NRC inspectors.

'

These violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice), and

.

the circumstances surrounding the violations 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 Notice when

preparing your response. The NRC will use your response'. in part to

determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance

4

with regulatory requirements.

t

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

i

Sincerely.

Ofiginal signed by:

Leonard Wert. Acting Chief
