SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-321/88-21 AND 50-366/88-21)

This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by

G. R. Wiseman and D. C. Ward on June 20-24, 1988. The inspection included a

review of activities authorized for your Hatch facility. At the conclusion of

the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff

identified in the enclosed Inspection Report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress.

The inspection findings indicate that certain activities appeared to violate

NRC requirements. The violation, references to pertinent requirements, and

elements to be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice

of Violation.

The violation described in the enclosed Notice (related to documentation of

j fire protection activities) is similar to a violation contained in the Notice

j sent to you by our letter dated December 18, 1987. Because "similar violations,"

'

as described in the NRC Enforcement Policy, are of significant concern to the

NRC, please give particular attention in your response to the identification of

L

the root cause of this problem and your corrective action to prevent recurrence.

We also encourage more aggressive management attention to site Fire Brigade

We are concerned that the continuing deficiencies in the quality

,

j performance.

i of the Fire Brigade leadership performance during the fire drills witnessed

during this inspection and in a previous inspection (Report No. 87-30, dated

'

December 18,1987) indicate a weakness in Fire Brigade leadership training. A

fully effective training program and management followup would result in timely

l

correction of the above weakness.

,

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2

Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosures

l will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
