SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-325/97-14 AND 50-324/97-14

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Hinnant: .

On December 12, 1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Brunswick

reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

Dur_ing the period covered by this inspection, our inspector found that your

staff generally took a safety conscious approach to the radiation control

activities conducted at the Brunswick plant. However, two violations of NRC

requirements were identified-one related to a Locked High Radiation Area not

controlled in accordance with Technical 3pecification 6.12.2 and another for

failure to initiate a condition report for this adverse condition in

accordance with your corrective action management procedure.

The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation and the

circumstances surrounding the violations are described in detail in the ,

enclosed report. 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 and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Sincerely.  ;

(Original signed by K. P. Parr)
