SUBJECT: NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50 395/96-14

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Taylor:

On December 28, 1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your V. C. Summer

reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that

inspection.

During the 4 week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of

activities at the V. C. Summer facility was generally characterized by safety

conscious operations, sound engineering and maintenance practices, and careful

radiological work controls. A violation was identified for a failure to

follow station housekeeping program requirements.

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

circumstances surrounding the 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.

Repetitive violations are addressed in the NRC's " General Statement of Policy

and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," (Enforcement Policy), NUREG 1600,

Section IV.B. The Enforcement Policy allows the severity level of a violation

to be increased if the violnion can be considered repetitive. For exam 31e, a

Severity Level IV violation could be increased to Severity Level III wit 1 the

attending escalated enforcement action. However, in this case, we have

decided not to increase the severity level of this violation based on the

minor significance of the housekeeping condition and your overall satisfactory

performance in this area.
