SUBJECT: NRC INSPEUsi At ti? PORT 50 312/98-01 AND NOTICE OF VIOL.ATION

Dear Mr. Ferreira:

On January 5 8,1998, the NRC completed an inspection at your shutdown Rwncho Seco

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

Major areas reviewed as part of this inspection included decommissioning and dismantlement

work underway, verification of compliance with selected technical specifications, maintenance

and surveillance activities associated with the spent fuel pool, cold weather preparations,

inventory and control of radioactive sources, and followup concerning the recent identification by

a local scrap dealer of low levels of radiation on an auxiliary boiler which had been released

from your facility. The boiler was subsequently retumed to your site.

I

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

requirements occurred related to the insufficient survey and release of the auxiliary boiler from

the Rancho Seco site. This violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the

. circumstances surrounding the violation 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, 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 PDR without redaction,
