SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-458/98-19

Dear Mr. Edington:

From October 19-23,1998, an evaluation of the cumulative effect of operator workarounds

inspection was conducted at your River Bend Station reactor facility. The enclosed report

presents the scope and results of that inspection.

The inspectors noted an increased number of tracked operator workarounds over the last year,

due to increased sensitivity to identifying as operator workarounds maintenance items not

previously so identified.

j

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).

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

with you.

Sincerely,

b

John L. Pellet, Chief

Operations Branch

Division of Rcactor Safety
