SUBJECT:

NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-309/96-12

(NOTICE OF VIOLATION)

Dear Mr. Frizzle:

On October 26,1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your Maine Yankee reactor

facility. The results of that inspection were discussed with Messrs. G. Leitch, D. Whittier,

R. Blackmore, and others of your staff at an exit meting held on October 31,1996. The

enclosed report presents the results of tFat inspection.

I

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

Maine Yankee facilities was safety focused. However, we continue to note plant material

condition problems challenging operator performance.

Based on the results of this inspection, two apparent violations were identified. The

violations involved failure to maintain the primary vent stack sampling system operable

during maintenance on October 4,1996, and failure to properly control safeguards

information on October 17,1996.

These 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 !etter and should follow the instructions specified in the

enclosed Notice when preparing ycur response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to

determine whethe. further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with

regulatory requirements.
