SUBJECT:
NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-348/98-01 AND 50-364/98-01.
Dear Mr. Morey:
On February 21, 1998, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed
an inspection at your Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP).
The enclosed report
presents the results of that inspection.
During the six-week period. your conduct of activities at FNP was generally
characterized by safety-conscious operations. sound engineering and
maintenance practices, and careful radiological work controls.
However, a
violation of NRC requirements was identified involving two examples of
inadequate use of radiological contamination controls during the performance
of maintenance.
The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the
s)ecific circumstances surrounding the violation are described in detail in
t1e 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
determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance
-with regulatory requirements.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice." a copy of
i
this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
L
Sincerely.
