SUBJECT:
NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-325/98-05, 50-324/98-05
Dear Mr. Hinnant:
On April 25. 1998, the NRC completed an inspection at your Brunswick reactor
facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During the six weeks covered by this inspection period, our ins]ectors found
that your staff generally took a safety conscious approach to t1e activities
conducted at the Brunswick plant. However, five violations of NRC
requirements were identified. We are concerned about the third violation
concerning fire protection procedures because similar issues regarding the
effectiveness of the fire protection program were identified by your Nuclear
Assessment Section in July 1997. We are also concerned about the fourth
violation because unreviewed modifications to the Diesel Generator Building
fire doors altered a design feature of the doors separating redundant
equipment safety trains.
Collectively, these two violations and timely
resolution of issues identified by your own :ssessment raised concerns about
proper establishment and implementation of the fire protection program.
The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation 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.
