the circumstances surrounding them are described in the subject inspection report. The

violations involved (1) two examples of failure to comply with emergency operating procedures

,

- (EOPs) following a reactor trip and (2) failure to enter Technical Specification (TS) 3.0.3 when

- the limiting condition for a reactor coolant system flow instrumentation TS requirement was not

met. These violations are of concem because they indicate a weakness in licensed operator's

understanding and adherence to TSs and EOPs.

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 necassary to ensure compliance with l

regulatory requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
