SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-285/98-26 AND NOTICE OF DEVIATION

l

l

Dear Mr. Gambhir:

j

- From November 31 through December 4,1998, a radiation protection inspection which focused

on the ALARA program activities was conducted at your Fort Calhoun Station reactor facility.

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

In general, the radiation protection program was effectively implemented.

L Based on the results of th'is inspection, certain of your activities appeared to deviate from your

commitments in response to NRC Bulletin 79-19, as specified in the enclosed Notice of

- Deviation (Notice). We are concerned about the deviation because it reduced the frequency of

i

your quality assurance oversight of the solid radwaste transportation program. The deviation is

cited in the enclosed Notice of Deviation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding the

deviation are described in detail in NRC Inspection Report 50-285/98-16. The NRC has

concluded that information regarding the reason for the deviation, the corrective actions taken

and planned to correct the deviation and prevent recurrence are already adequately addressed

on the docket in the enclosed inspection report. Therefore, you are not required to respond to

this letter unless the description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or

your position. In that case, or if you choose to provide additional information, you should follow

the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice.

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

.

enclosure (s), and your response 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

i

' with you,
