SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-458/96-27 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. McGaha:

An NRC inspection was conducted August 26-30 and September 9-13,1996, at your River

Bend Station reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that j

inspection. The overall conclusions of this inspection were discussed with Mr. Tom Davey

and other engineering managers of your staff on November 4,1996.  ;

1

The inspection team concluded that, generally, your conduct of engineering activities has

l been effective and that you have made good progress toward improving your engineering

l capabilities. This was especially evident in the plant engineering area. Plant engineers

were found to be knowledgeable of their systems, to be communicative with other plant

disciplines, and to be highly qualified. However, the inspection team noted that there were

a number of past engineering issues that still needed to be resolved. For example, there

had been a lack of proper load testing on the station blackout diesel generator, a failure to

maintain your design basis documents current since 1986, and inadequate engineering

support of the preventive maintenance program.

The inspection also identified a violation of NRC requirements involving inadequacies in ,

design control which occurred when design modifications were not translated into a alarm i

response procedure, a station operating procedure, and a system calculation. The violation

is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding it

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

j requirements.

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

l its enclosure (s), 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,

'

l proprietary, or safeguardt information so that it can be placed in the PDR without

redaction.
