SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-445/97-15; 50-446/97-15 AND NOTICE OF

VIOLATION i

.

l

Dear Mr. Terry: I

1

On July 19,1997, 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. l

l

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the i

Comanche Peak facilities was generally characterized by safe and conservative operations I

and excellent maintenance practices. However, four violations of NRC requirements were

identified. i

Violation A involved three examples of a failure to follow fire protection procedure

requirements. This violation is of concern because the multiple examples indicate a lack of l

ettention to fire protection program requirements by your staff. Violation 8 involved the

potential to degrade safety-related equipment with high ambient temperatures as a result of

an inadequate temperature measurement procedure.

These violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation and the circumstances

surrounding these victations 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.

Violations C and D do not reflect concerns with current performance. The NRC has

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

taken and planned to correct the violations and prevent recurrence are already adequately

on the docket in the enclosed report and in inspection Report Nos. 50-445(446)9601 and

50-445(446)/9604, and in TU Electric Letter TXX-96075 dated March 25,1996.

Therefore, you are not required to rescond to this letter unless the description therein does

not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position. In that chse, or if you

choose to provide additional information, you should follow the instructions specified in the

enclosed Notice.
