          SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-483/97-03 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
          Dear Mr. Schnell:
          An NRC inspection was conducted January 5 through February 15,1997, 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, 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 authorize and document approval for licensed operators to exceed
          overtime limitations. The violation is a concern because administrative controls in the
          operations department were inadequate to prevent operations department personnel from
          exceeding working hour limitations without prior authorization.
          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. To
          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 wbout
          redaction.
                                                                                                         ll
