4 NOTICE OF VIOLATICN Siemens Power Corporation Docket No. 40-1257 Richland, Washington License No. SUM-1227 During an NRC inspection conducted on October 6 - 10,1997, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

Safety Condition S-1 of License 1227 authorizes the use oflicensed materials in accordance with the statements, representations, and conditions in the License Application and Supplements.

Approved License Application Section 4.1.5, Operational and Incident Reviews, states "All reported criticality safety violations, incidents, or abnormal conditions shall be reviewed and appropriate corrective actions taken."

Contrary to the above, as of October 10,1997, the April 1997 loss of moisture control incident o' the Dry Conversion Pilot Plant was not adequately reviewed and appropriate corrective actions were not taken. The Siemens incident Investigation Board review failed to detect a weakness within the Criticality Safety Analysis (CSA) regarding possible moisture migration from a geometry controlled portion of the system to a moderator controlled portion and tailed to implement adequate controls to prevent such occurrence.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement VI).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Siemens Power Corporation is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, and Chief, Fuel Cycle Operations Branch, Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards, NMSS, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmhting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation: (1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violt. tion, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previously docketed correspondence if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other actions as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown consideration will be given to extending the response time.
