SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-498/99-07; 50-499/99-07
Dear Mr. Cottle:
This refers to the inspection conducted on April 5-9,1999, at the South Texas Project Electric
Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 facilities. This inspection focused on radiological controls in
place during the Unit 1 refueling outage. The enclosed report presents the results of this
inspection.
Overall, the inspector concluded that a good radiation protection program was implemented.
However, based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two violations of
NRC requirements occurred. The violations included: (1) two examples of a failure to follow
radiation work permit instructions, and (2) a failure to perform a survey of a work area created
by scaffolding. These violations are being treated as non-cited violations (NCVs), consistent
with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. These NCVs are described in the subject
L
inspection report. If you contest the violation or severity level of these NCVs, you should
]
provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your
j
cienial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC
20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, and the Director, Office of
Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
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).
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them
with you.
