SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-458/98-14

Dear Mr. Edington:

From September 18 - October 2,1998, a routine, announced inspection was conducted at your

River Bend Station reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that

inspection.

One performance weakness was identified during the simulator walkthroughs as discussed in

Section P4. The weakness involved the failure of one crew to properly assess plant conditions,

which led to declaration of a general emergency instead of a site area emergency. Based on

our review of your corrective actions, we have determined that your actions were adequate. .

"

Therefore, no further information is required regarding this issue.

'

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

enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR). ,

1

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

with you.

Sincerely,

e
