SUBJECT: ROUTINE SAFETY INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50116/97201(DRPM) AND
NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Dr. Bullen:
This refers to the inspection conducted on July 21 25, 1997 at the UTR 10 Argonaut
Reactor. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether activities authorized by
the license were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. At the
conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff
identified in the onclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedurcs and representative records ,
4
interviews with personnel, and observations of activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation. The violation is of
concern because of the apparent failure to properly assure, at specified frequencies, that
certain safety systems were operable as required prior to reactor operation.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
enclosed Notice when preparing your response, in your responso, you should document the
specific actions taken and any additional actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After
reviewing your response to this Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the
results of future inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC onforcement
action is necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
