Box 399 Hwy. 75 - North of Fort Calhoun Fort Calhoun, Nebraska 68023-0399 SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-285/98-16 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION Dear Mr. Gambhir: From July 6-10,1998, a solid radioactive waste and transportatic a inspection was conducted at your Fort Calhoun Station reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that inspection. A violation of your waste stream sampling procedure was identified. This violation resulted iri your use of information that, because of your recent history of leaking fuel, may no longer allow you to accurately predict the isotopic abundances in your dry active waste stream. This could cause you to improperly classify waste shipments intended for burial. This violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding the violation 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, 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. Sincerely, b Blaine Murray, Chief Plant Support Branch Division of Reactor Safety l l 9808050191 980729 e {DR ADOCK 05000285 PDR
