j Dear Mr. Beckham: -

,

(

On October 26, 1996, the NRC completed an ins)ection at your Hatch facility. i

The enclosed report presents the results of tlat inspection.  ;

l

i During the six-week period covered by this inspection report, your conduct of i

i activities at the Hatch facility was generally characterized by safety- i

i conscious operations, sound engineering and maintenance practices and careful  ;

'

radiological work controls. The following violations of NRC requirements were i

, identified. A violation for failure to perform a surveillance as required by  :

Technical Specifications was identified. Although your actions to immediately  !

correct the violation once identified were good, it was identified as a  !

I

violation due to the length of time this condition had existed and the failure  !

not to identify it during previous opportunities, j

Another violation consisting of several examples of personnel not following

prescribed procedures was also identified and is of concern because it i

represents a casual approach to procedure implementation by some members of

your staff-

l

The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice), and the ,

circumstances surrounding the violations are described in detail in the i

enclosed report. Please note that you are required to respond to this letter i

and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when l

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.
