SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-285/95-24 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. W. Walker, and the inspectors
in the enclosed report, of this office on December 17, 1995, through
!
January 27, 1996, at the Fort Calhoun Station facility.
The purpose of the
inspection was to determine whether activities authorized by the license were
conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements.
At the conclusion
of the inspection, the findings were discussed with you and those members of
your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
,
i
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two
violations of NRC requirements occurred. These violations are cited in the
enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding them
are described in detail in the subject inspection report.
The first violation
l
is of concern because the adequacy of the quantity of trisodium phosphate
l
maintained inside containment had been raised by NRC and your staff internally
several times and only now appears to be resolved.
The second violation is of
concern because it is an additional instance of operators failing to follow a
procedure, despite your corrective actions emphasizing the importance of
procedure adherence.
The regulatory and safety significance of using nonqualified pressure switches
and transmitters to maintain safety-related pressure boundaries is unresolved.
This item is unresolved pending your completion of the analysis of the
installed components and NRC's subsequent review.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence.
Your response may reference or
include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately
addresses the required response. After reviewing your response to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
