        Dear Mr. Powers:
        SUBJECT:            NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO,50155/97010(DRP)
        Dear Mr, Powers:
        On Oct' ber 7.1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant.
        The enclosed report prosents the results of that inspection.
        During the 9 week period covered by this inspection, operations, maintenance, and engineering
        activities were performed satisfactorily. The NRC noted that consistent performance was                                        !
        maintained despite the fact that the plant wac scheduled for permanent plant shutdown on                                        <
        August 29,1997. Plant shutdown activities were conducted in a safe manner and control room
        decorum and communication were good
                                                                                                                                        t
        Cood overall radiological protection practices were observed with high quality individual
        performance in contrast to weaker performance by mixed discipline groups. On one occasion, a
        worker was lying down in a contaminated area until the inspectors alerted radiation protection
        personnel.
        No violations were cited based on the results of this inspection.
                                                            Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                       ,
