j SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-483/96-11 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

,

Dear Mr. Schnell:

1

An NRC inspection was conducted October 13 through November 23,1996, at your  !

Callaway Piant reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that

inspection. )

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of activities at

Callaway was generally characterized by safety-conscious operations; sound engineering

practices; and appropriate performance of maintenance, surveillance, and plant support

activities. We are concerned, however, about one violation of NRC requirements that was

identified by the NRC inspectors. The violation involved failure to have an adequate

procedure for normal operation of the component cooling water system.

1

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

surrounding this violation are described in detailin 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 enclosures, and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy, proprietary,

or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,

/-
