SUBJECT:

NRC-INTEGRATED--INSPECTION REPORT 50-424/97-09. 50 425/97-09 AND

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

-Dea _r Mr. McCoy:

On September 20. 1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Vogtle Units 1

and 2 reactor' facilities.

The enclosed report presents the results of that

-inspection.

-

During-the seven-week period. your conduct of activities at the Vogtle

facility was generally characterized by safety-conscious operations, sound

engineering and maintenance practices, and appropriate radiological work

' controls.

However, three violations were identified. The first violation dealt with

corrective maintenance performed on a safety-related piece of equipment

without a proper work order.

The second violation was for-a failure of

security personnel to conduct a. search of materials prior to entry into a

vital area. The third violation was in the area of- fire )rotection. We are

concerned with-the violation concerning fire protection w11ch may indicate a

decline in performance in this area.

' 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.

Please note that you are required to respond _to this letter

and should follow the _ instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when

preparing your response.

The NRC will use your response, in part, to

t

determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure complia1ce

with regulatory requirements.
