l SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-285/98-06 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Gambhir:

From April 6-10,1998, a routine radiation protection inspection was conducted at your Fort

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

i inspection.

A violation of Techr.ical Specification 5.11 was identified because a radiation worker entered a

l high radiation area improperfy. The polation is of concem because your corrective actions

following a similar t.vsnt did not prevent recurrence. Despite radiation worker performance

problems, most radiation protection functions were implemented well.

This violation is 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 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).

!' Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them

with you.
