SUBJEG T: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-312/97-04 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Ferreira:

On September 22-25,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Rancho Seco Nuclear

Generating Station rea . tor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that

inspection.

Major areas reviewed during this inspection included work related to the decommissioaing

activi' 's in the turbine building, review of the current organization, adequacy of safety

evalui ,ons c'mpleted, implementation of training, compliance of the spent fuel pool with

technics' specifications and review of the 1996 environmental report.

Based on the asults of this inspection, the NRC has determined that one violation of NRC

requirements occurred. This violation is cited in the enclosed Ncoce of Violation (Notice) and

ths circumstaaces surrounding the violation are descrit:ed ia detailin the enciased report. This

violation involved the failure to initiate an out of-tolerance report when the annual calibration of

the thermocouple for the spent fuel pool temperature indicator was found to be out of

specifications. The out-of tolerance report initiates the necessary technical and engineering

raviews to ensure that possible unsafe or limiting conditions do not exist in the plant. Daily

veilfication of compliance with the spent fuel pool technical specification for pool temperature

was directly dependent upon the performance oi this thermocouple.

Please note that you are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. The NRC will use your

response, in part, to determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure

compliance with regulatory requirements.

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

enclosures, and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR). To the

extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or

safeguards information so that it can be placed in the POR without redaction.
