Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. P. H. Harrell and T. Reis of [

this office during the period September 1-30, 1988, of activities authorized by  !

NRC Operating License DPR-40 for the Fort Calhoun Station, and to the discussion  ;

of our findings with you anj other members of your staff at the conclusion of ,

the inspection. i

Areas examined during the inspection included review of previously identified

items, operational safety verificat!% plant tours, monthly maintenance i

observations, monthly surveillance observations, security observations, i

radiological protection observations, in-office review of periodic and special  ;

reports, review of Generic Letter 88-03, review of NRC Bulletin 88-05, review of  :

information on containment temperatures, and preparation for refueling. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and i

representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the NRC

inspectors. The inspection findings are documented in the enclosed inspection

report.

During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities were in

violation of NRC requiretrents. Consec,uently, you are required to respond to

these violations, in writing, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.201

of the NRC's "R91es of Practice," Part 2. Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.

Your response should be based on the specifics contained in the Notice of

Violation enclosed with this ittter.

We note that two of these violations involve similer violations identified in

previous NRC inspection reports. In this inspection period, a fire door that

would not latch due to modifications performed during security door alterations

was identified lV the NRC inspectors. A report to the NRC was not issued

as required by ti.e Technical Specifications, even though similar problems in

the trea of reporting nonfunctional fire barriers had been experienced at the

Fort Calhoun Station in July 1986 (Violation 285/8621-02). In addition, an

hourly fire watch patrol for all nonfunctional fire barriers was not performed

as required by the Technical Specifications. A similar problem of this nature

had also been experienced at the Fort Calhoun Station in February 1986

(Violation 285/8603-01). Thus, it apt. ears that adequate corrective actions in

response to the previous violations were not implemented and that more

attention is required to ensure Technical Specification requirements in this
