SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-285/98-09 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Gambhir:
From April 12 through May 23,1998, a routine, announced inspection was conducted at your
Fort Calhoun 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 Fort
Calhoun Station was generally characterized by safety-conscious operations, sound engineering
and maintenance practices, and careful radiological controls. However, one cited violation of
NRC requirements was identified. It was determined that you did not have an adequate
procedure for ensuring that net positive suction head was maintained to a running reactor
coolant pump resulting in cavitation of the pump.
The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances
surrounding this 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
enclosures, and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
