'

The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that six violations of NRC

l

consistent with Appendi.x C of the Enforcement Policy. These NCVs are described in the

subject inspection report.' if you contest the violatien or severity level of these NCVs , you

should provide a response within 30 days of the da te of this inspection report, with the basis for

your denial, to tne Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk,

Washington DC 20555-0001, with a copies to the Regional Administrator, Region ll, and the

Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 20555-0001.

In addition, one apparent violation was identified and is being considered for escalated

enforcement action in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC

Enforcement Actions"(Enforcement Policy), NUREG-1600. The apparent violation involved two

/[/

examples of long-standing single failure design vulnerabilities that potentially affected the ability

of plant operators to mitigate the consequences of a postulated steam generator tube rupture

(

addition, please be advised that the number and characterization of apparent violations

described in the enclosed inspection report may change as a result of further NRC review. You
