SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-416/98-05 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Hagan:

From April 5 through May 16,1998, an NRC inspection was conducted at your Grand Gulf

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

inspection.

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the Grand

Gulf facility was generally characterized by safety-conscious operations, sound engineering and

maintenance practices, and careful radiological work controls. However, the inspection

identified two violations consisting of the failure to follow the standby diesel generator system

operating procedure and failure to perform engineering evaluations prior to installing scaffolding

in close proximity to safety-related equipment. The second violation is of concern because it

indicated a breakdown in your scaffolding program with regards to the construction of

scaffolding in accordance with your procedure.

The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances

surrounding the violations are described in detailin the enclosed report. Please note that you

are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed i

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

enclosures, and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
