SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-155/97004(DRP)  ;

AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

l

Dear Mr. Powers:

,

On April 29,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant.

The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, operations, maintenance, and

';

engineering activities were generally performed satisfactorily. Based on the results of this

inspection, one violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved two 1

examples of failure to follow procedures relating to working clearances and protective i

tagging. This violation is of concern because it involved personnel safety issues and

l

caused damage to safety related components. The licensee raised expectations for

procedure adherence after these violations were identified.

,

The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation, and the circumstances

surrounding the 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.
