SUB.H.CT: NRC INSPECTION REf0Rr 50-285/9713 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Gambhir:

An NRC inspection was conducted June 30 through July 18,1997, at your Fort Calhoun

Station reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that

inspection. The final results of this inspection were discussed with you on October 2,

1997.

Based on this inspection, we have determined that your-corrective action program was

effective in identifying, resolving, and preventing issues that could degrade the quality of

plant operations or safety. However, three violations were identified as discussed below.

The first violation involved the failure to maintain the senior vice president as the

chairperson of the safety audit and review committee as required by Technical

-Specification. - As discussed in the attached inspection report, this administrative change

involved a reduction in previous commitments by deleting the senior vice president position

as the chairperson of the safety audit and review committee.

The second violation involved two examples of the failure to issue a condition report for-

conditions adverse to quality. This violation was of concern because these conditions

were identified by your staff and could potentially impact safe operation of Fort Calhoun

Station.

The third violation involved the preconditioning of component cooling water outlet valves

prior to inservice stroke time testing.

Regarding the first violation, the NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason

for the violation, and the corrective actions taken to correct the violation and prevent its

~

recurrence, have already been adequately addressed. Therefore, you are not required to

respond to this violation unless the description in this report does not accurately reflect

your corrective actions or your position. In that case, or if you choose to provide

additicnal information, you should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice.

in the enclosed report. Please note that you are required to respond to this letter and

should follow the instructions specified il 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 this letter,

its enclosure (s), and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room

(PDR). To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy,

proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without

them with you.

Sincerely,

'
