SUBJECT: NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-413/96-20 AND 50-414/96-20

Dear Mr. McCollum:

On. January 11, 1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Catawba Nuclear

Station. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

During this report period, your. actions demonstrated an appropriate focus on

operational safety. Specifically. Unit.1 was shutdown to investigate the

source of an indicated increase in reactor coolant system leakage before the

Technical Specification limit was approached, and Unit 2 was shutdown to

correct conditions that had resu'ted in excessive operator work arounds. l

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

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Sincerely,

Original signed by:

Charles A. Casto. Chief
