ENCLOSURE 1 i

NOTICE OF VIOLATION Entergy Operations, Inc. Docket No.: 50-458 River Bend Station License No.: NPF-47 During an NRC inspection conducted on December 15,1996 through February 1,1997, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 requires, in part, that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented instructions of a type appropriate to the circumstances and be accomplished in accordance with these instructions.

A sign, which provided instructions of a type appropriate to the circumstances, installed on the entrance to the standby service water (SSW) pump room stated that the SSW pumps were not protected by suction strainers and that all gaps in the floor must be covered during work to preclude dropping items into the SSW basin.

Contrary to the above, on January 17,1997, activities affecting quality were not accomplished in accordance with instructions in that all gaps in the floor were not covered during work to preclude dropping items into the SSW basin.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement l} (50-458/96017-03).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Entergy Operations, Inc. is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATT N: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspector at the f acility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting 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 violation, (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 previous 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 a Demand for information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.

Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.

Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction. However, if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information 9702270186 970220 PDR ADOCK 05000458 g PDR

, that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the information from the public.
