SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 60-344/97-05 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Quennoz:
On January 14,1998, NRC completed an inspection at your Trojan Nuclear Plant. The enclosed
report presents the scope and results of that inspection. A telephone followup exit briefing was
conducted on January 14,1998 to discuss the final results of the inspection as presented in this
report.
Major activities reviewed as part of this inspection included decommissioning and dismantlement
work underway, spent fuel pool technical specification compliance, cold weather preparations,
results of the 1997 emergency exercise, activities related to the control of radioactive material
being released from the radiologically controlled area, and followup on a notification to the NRC.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that one violation of NRC
requirements occurred related to the release of contaminated material from the radiologically
controlled area. This violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the
circumstances surrounding this vioiation are described in detail in the enclosed report.
Discovery of this violation was the direct result of a comprehensive site evaluation conducted by
your staff as part of the corrective action program implemented in response to the violation cited
in Inspection Report 50-344/97-03 dated September 9,1997.
The NRC has reviewed your November 26,1997, reply to the Notice of Violation issued with
- Inspection Report 50-344/97-03 dated September 9,1997, and finds the corrective actions
acceptable. Your response committed to actions that should prevent future recurrence of the
problem identified with the CM-11 probes. However, as a result of the corrective actions taken
for the violation, additional contaminated material was recently discovered outside the
radiologically controlled area indicating that the problem was more significant than the original
isolated case identified. In response to the violation issued in this inspection report, we request
that you identify additional controls that will be established for monitoring all material being
removed from the Trojan site that had at any time been in the radiologically controlled area.
Additionally, a reasonable effort is expected to identify, locate, 9d resurvey tools and
scaffolding that may have been removed from the radiologi;e
)ntrolled area and sold or
released to members of the public during the 1994 through
ime frame identified in your
November 26,1997, reply. A description of this effort shoulo w included in the response to this

Notice along with justification as to why your review of this issue should not also include
additional time frames beyond the period specified in your letter.

safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them
with you.
