SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-483/96-14 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Schnell:

An NRC inspection waa conducted November 24,1996 through January 4,1997, at your

Callaway Plant 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. The

violation involved the failure to place a Workman's Protection Assurance tag on the correct

l component, inspection Report 50-483/96-11, dated December 12,1996, discussed a

l noncited violation for a similar occurrence,

t

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

l 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 4

regulatory requirements.

,

i in accordance w;th 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. To

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

safeguards information so that it can be placed in the Public Document Room without

redaction. 1
