Dear Mr. McCoy:
On March 15. 1997, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) com)leted an
inspection at your Vogtle Units 1 and 2 reactor facilities. T1e enclosed
report presents the results of that inspection.
During the six-week period, your conduct of activities at the Vogtle facility
was generally characterized by safety-conscious operations, sound engineering
and maintenance practices, and appropriate radiological work controls.
However, one violation was identified regarding a missed surveillance on
several Unit 2 auxiliary feedwater recirculation piping valves.
In addition.
l
two violations were identified in the fire protection area and three were
!
identified in the diesel generator area associated with the Woodward 701
,
Digital Governor Modification.
i
These violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice), and
the circumstances surrounding the violations 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.
