Dear Mr. Terry:
An NRC inspection was conducted September 22 25,1997, at your Comanche Peak Steam
Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the scope
and results of that inspection.
During the exit meeting, on September 25,1997, you stated TU Electric would issue a
letter describing corrective actions to address the concer is raised in the inspection. This
letter was issued on September 26,1997, and the corrective actions identified were
considered appropriate to address the immcdiate concerns from the inspection.
Based on the results of this inspection, four apparent violations were identified and are
being considered for escalated enforcement action in accordance with the " General
'Staterront of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions" fEnforcement Policy),
NUREG 1600. The apparent violations involved changes to the Comanche Peak Steam
Electric Station Emergency Plan which did not meet 10 CFR 50.54(q) requirements.
