SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-416/97 21 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Hagan:

An NRC inspection was conducted October 19 through November 29,1997, at your Grand

Gulf Nuclear Station reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of

that inspection.

During the 6 week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of activities at

the Grand Gulf facility was generally characterized by safety-conscious operations, sound

engineering and maintenance practices, and careful radiological work controls. However,

the inspection identified one violation consisting of two examples involving the failure to

perform an engineering evaluation prior to securing or installing items in close proximity to

safety-related equipment.

This violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances

surrounding the violation are described in detailin the enclosed report. Please note that

you are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in

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 enclosure (s), 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.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,

W 3
