SUBJECT:
NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-413/99-02 AND 50-414/99-02
Dear Mr. Peterson:
This refers to the inspection conducted March 14 through April 24,1999, at the Catawba facility.
,
The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.
During the inspection period, your conduct of activities at the Catawba facility was generally
characterized by safety-conscious operations, sound engineering and maintenance practices,
and careful radiological work controls.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that three violations of NRC
requirements occurred. One of the violations involving inoperable refueling water storage tank
water level instrument channels, was considered for escalated enforcement consistent with
Appendix B of the Enforcement Policy. However, the NRC determined that the risk significance
of this violation was low, and as such, it satisfieKi the Severity Level IV enforcement criteria in
NUREG-1600 concoming the failure to comply with the action statement for a Technical
Specification limiting condition for operation. This and the remaining two violations are being
treated as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs), consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy.
These NCVs are described in the subject 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 denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional
Administrator, Region ll, and the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
