l t SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-382/98-08 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION l l

Dear Mr. Dugger:

l This letter is being reissued because the subject line referenced the incorrect inspection .

'

i report number. The letter stated reference to NRC inspection Report 50-382/98-14 and it should have been 50-382/98-08.

]

Thank you for your letters of July 1, August 31, and December 21,1998, in response to our May 29,1998, letter and Notice of Violation and our letter dated November 20,1998, conceming the failure to include appropriate acceptance criteria in procedures used to verify continued operability of safety-related systems. We have reviewed your replies and find them responsive to the concems raised in our Notice of Violation We~will review the implementation of your corrective actions during a future inspection to determine that full compliance has been achieved and will be mairtained.

l- In your letter dated December 21,1998, you requested that we consider the guidance of EGM 98-006, dated July 27,1998, in that the subject violation is nonrepetitive, within the context of the discussion in the EGM, and nonwillful and will be corrected within a reasonable time.

Further, this was a licensee-identified issue. l

- We have reviewed your request for reconsideration of the subject violation with respect to the guidance p' rovided in EGM 98-006. During this review, it was noted that the subject violation was issued in NRC Inspection Report 50-382/98-08 on May 29,1998. Since the violation was issued prior to the issuance of EGM 98-006, no reconsideration with respect to reclasssification of this violation is warranted. However, if the subject violation had been identified after the issuance of EGM 98-006, a noncited violation would have probably been the most appropriate enforcement approar.,h for this specific item.

Should you have additional questions regarding this issue, do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

.: >~ -
