SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-413/88-15 AND 50-414/88-15)
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by
P. K. Van Doorn and M. S. Lesser on March 26, 1988, to April 25, 1988.
The
inspection included a review of activities authorized for your Catawba
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.
In two cases the violations, references to pertinent
requirements, and elements to be included in your response are presented in the
enclosed Notice of Violation. Because all of the criteria for categorization
of licensee identified violations were met in one case, this violation is not
being cited. The details pertaining to the licensee identified violation are
described in the enclosed Inspection Report.
In addition to the need for corrective action regarding the specific matters
identified in the enclosed Notice, we are concerned about the high rate of
valid failures on your emergency diesel Jenerators and the maintenance
practices which may have contributed to the f ailures. A management meeting to
discuss our mutual concerns regarding the reliability of the erargency diesel
generators at Catawba has been scheduled for June 9,1983, at 10:00 a.m. at
the Region II office in Atlanta, Georgia.
Your attention is invited to the unresolved item identified in the inspection
report.
This matter will be pursued during future inspections.
