Dear Mr. Randolph:

From November 15 through December 26,1998, a routine inspection was conducted at your

During the inspection period, your conduct of activities at the Callaway Plant was generally

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has detarmined that a violation of NRC

the circumstances surrounding it are described in detailin the subject inspection report. The

violation involved the failure to perform a written safety evaluation for an inconsistency between

i

emergency operating procedure steps for transfer to cold leg recirculation and the Final Safety

Analysis Report.

The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation and the

corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence is already

,

adequately addressed on the docket in this 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
