3UBJECT: ROUTINE SAFETY INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-002/98202 (DRPM)
Dear Dr. Flerning-
This refers to the inspection conducted on February 23 27,1993 at the University of
Michigan Ford Nuclear 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.
l
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records,
i
interviews with personnel, and observations of activities in progress
The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection. Based on the results of this
inspection, two apparent violations were identified, and are being considered for escalated
enforcement action in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for
j
NRC Enforcement Actions" (Enforcament Policy), NUREG-1600.
The NRC is concerned because these apparent violations reflect a lack of full understanding
of license requirements, an incomplete implementation of your modification program and
ineffective impiementation of your reporting requirements.
No Notice of Violation is presently being issued for these inspection findings. In addition,
please be advised that the number and characteritation of apparent violations described in
the enclosed inspection report may change as a result of further NRC review.
A pre-decisional enforcement conference will be scheduled to discuss these apparent
i
violations. The decision to hold a pre-decisional enforcement conference does not mean
that the NRC had determined that a violation has occurred or that enforcement action will
be taken. The conference is being held to obtain information to enable the NRC to make an
enforcement decision, such as a common understanding of the facts, root causes, missed
opportunities to identify the apparent violations sooner, corrective actions, significance of
the issues and the need for lasting and effective corrective act'on.
