SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-416/97-14 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION-

'

Dear Mr. Hagan:

i

An NRC inspection was conducted July 14-17,1997, at your Grand Gulf Nuclear Station

j

reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that inspection.

j

A violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved two examples of

j'

failures to control personnel access to high radiation areas in accordance with the technical

'

specification requirements. The NRC is concerned because the corrective actions taken

after the first example were not effective in preventing the second example.

i

f

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

surrounding this 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

i

regulatnry requirements.

E

'In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter,

j

its enclosure (s), and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room

(PDR). To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy,

1

proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without

redaction.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss

,them with you.

/

Sincerely,

'
