OI October 24, 1997 MEMORANDUM TO:

Ellis W. Merschoff Regional Administrator Region IV Samuel J. Collins, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Jack R. Goldberg, Deputy Assistant General Counsel for Enforcement Office of the General Counsel GriginalStShe FROM:

James Lieberman, Director 3g3 U+c.' -

Office of Enforcement

SUBJECT:

01 REPORT 4-97-027; RE: COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION: FALSIFICATION OF THERMOLAG MATERIAL INSPECTION RECORDS The above captioned Ol report involves potential falsification of fire inspection reports by a fire protection engineer at Comanche Peak. 01 did not substantiate the allegation.

Therefore, it appears that enforcement action is not appropriate in this case for the alleged 4

~

wrongdoing.

However, information in the exhibits for the Of report indicates that a question arose regarding the adequacy of the inspection procedure. Region IV should evaluate this l

information and process any resulting enforcement in accordance with the Enforcement Policy.

I do not intend to request an OGC analysis of this report. We will consider the matter closed l.

unless we receive a different view within three weeks of the date of this memorandum.

l Please contact Dave Nelson of my staff with any comments.
