NRC INSPECTION REPORT 70-7001/98012(DNMS)

Dear Mr. Miller,

On June 26,1998, the NRC completed a routine operations, maintenance and surveillance, and emergency preparedness inspection at your Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether activities authorized by the certificate were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. At the conclusion of the inspection, the inspector discussed the findings with members of your staff as identified in the enclosed report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations of activities in progress. The NRC observed plant staff's response to two off-normal events during the inspection and noted good plant staff communications, effective management control of operations, and the demonstration of effective off-normal response procedures. No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the inspection.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

We will gladly discuss any questions you have conceming this inspection.

Sincerely, Original Signed by 200OrdD Patrick t. siiand, Chief \l Fuel Cycle Branch Docket No. 70-7001 Certificate No. GDP-1
