Duke Power Company
ATTN: Mr. H. B. Tucker, Vice President
Nuclear Production Department
422 South Church Street
Charlotte, NC 28242
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-413/89-02 AND 50-414/89-02)
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by
F. N. Wright on January 30 to February 3,1989.
The inspection included a
review of activities authorized for your Catawba facility.
At the conclusion
of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff
identified in the enclosed inspection report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.
Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
The inspection findings indicate that certain activities appeared to violate
NRC requirements.
The violations, references to pertinent requirements, and
elements to be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice
of Violation.
The inspection revealed that you failed to take full corrective action on a
previous violation (50-413, 414/87-31-02 September 14-18, 1987) concerning
failure to adhere to radiological control procedures for personnel
contamination monitoring and completion of daily dose cards. We are concerned
at your failure to take timely, effective action to correct the violations
identified.
This concern is heightened in that, on two occasions in the past,
full corrective action to radiological control violations has not been timely.
In our letter of September 16, 1988, we noted that you failed to take timely,
effective corrective action to assure proper utilization of daily dose cards.
In addition, this same letter noted your failure to take timely, effective
action to a violation for failure to adequately survey potentially contaminated
i
tools.
!
Because of these findings, we request that you be prepared to discuss,
following the enforcement conference on March 9, 1989, your actions to assure
timely and effective corrective actions.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosures
!
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
