SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-445/96-11;50-446/96-11 AND NOTICE OF (

VIOLATION  !

!

Dear Mr. Terry:  ?

On September 28,1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your Comanche Peak Steam l

Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the scope

and results of that inspection. I

During this inspection, one violation of your procedures was identified by our inspectors.

The violation involved a failure to follow procedures for assuring that a danger-tagged

valve was in the proper position. This violation is being cited because it was NRC

identified and because it represents a deficiency which could have serious consequences if

not identified and corrected. We are also concerned that your initial characterization of the

mispositioned valve in your problem identification and resolution program would not have

resulted in a root cause evaluation.

The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances

surrounding this violation 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 with

regulatory requirements,

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter,

its enclosure (s), and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document

Room (PDR).

Sincerely,

' .L -
