SUBJECT: ROUTINE SAFETY INSPEC'" 'N REPORT NO. 50-252/97201 (DRPM) AND
NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Dr. Bush:
l This refers to the inspection conducted on September 15-18,1997 at the AGN 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
enclosed report,
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records,
interviews with personnel, and cbservations of activities in progress.
As a result of the inspection three Violations and two Non Cited Violations were identified during
this inspection. The NRC is concerned because the cited violations were NRC identified rather
than identified and resolved by your reactor safety organizations. The violations are cited in the
enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice), and the circumstances surrounding the violations are
described in detail in the enclosed report.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
enclosed Notice when preparing your response. In your response, 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 enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
