SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-445/97-05;50-446/97-05 AND NOTICE OF

V!OLATION

Dear Mr. Te rry:

On March 15,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Comanche Peak Steam

Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, 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 the

Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station was characterized by safety-conscious operations

and improved engineering performance. We are concerned, however, about a violation of

NRC requirements which is identified in the enclosed report. The violation is of concern

because it was identified by the NRC and because it resulted from poor attention-to-details

during the performance of work activities.

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. The NRC has

concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective actions

j ',

taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence is already adequately

addressed in the enclosed report. Therefore, you are not required to respond to this letter

'/

unless the description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your

position. In that case, or if you choose to provide additional information, you should follow

the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice.

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 (PDR). To the extent

possible, your response should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards

information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss

them with you.
