SUBJECT:
NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION 50-333/97-04 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
i
1
)
Dear Mr. Colomb:
$
On May 25,1997 the NRC completed an inspection at your FitzPatrick Power Plant. The
I
!
enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During the 6-week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of activities at
j
the plant were generally characterized by safe plant operation.
i
An NRC team inspection was conducted to evaluate your corrective action program.
1
1
Overail, your problem identification and corrective action program was considered to be
j
good. The Plant Operation and Safety Review Committees provided an appropriate level of
oversight and Quality Assurance audits were considered to be a strength. Self-
l
.
identification of problems by front-line personnel seemed to be increasing. Weaknesses
'
'
were identified in the review and documentation for extent of condition and in the response
i
to repetitive problems. In particular, corrective actions for previous findings related to
j
radiological control barriers and radiation worker practices have not been effective.
1
l
Based on the results of this inspection, a violation of NRC requirements occurred. The
!
violation concerned the failure of radiation workers to follow radiation protection
i
requirements. You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) when preparing your response, in
j
your response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional actions
i
i
you plan to prevent recurrence. Your response may reference previous docketed
correspondence if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. Please
!
include as a part of your response those corrective actions you intend to take to
i
understand the broader implications of these violations. After reviewing your response to
this Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
'
l
inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is necessary
!
to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements. To the extent possible, your
'
j
response should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information
so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.
