SUBJECT: NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-325/97-11 50-324/97-11

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Hinnant:

'On September 27. 1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Brunswick

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

inspection.

During the six weeks covered by this inspection period, our ins)ectors found

that your staff generally took a safety conscious approach to tie activities

conducted at the Brunswick plant. However, seven violations were identified.

aix of the violations were related to implementation of 3chnical

specification or procedure requirements. We are concerned that these

recuirements be correctly implemented to avoid more serious problems.

Adcitional attention is needed to insure program and procedure requirements

are properly implemented.

This inspection determine'd that you had not satisfactorily comaleted

implementation of Generic Letter 89-10. " Safety-Related Motor-Jperator Valve

Testing and Surveillance." Further, the inspection identified a violation

involving the lack of prompt corrective action to resolve inadequacies in

design assumptions and uncertainties surrounding open thrust measurements for

your motor-operated valves. Your letter to the NRC dated October 2. 1997,

conmitted to actions which will aid in resolving the remaining outstanding

issues regarding your implementation of Generic Letter 89-10.

These 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 encloted 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.
