Dear Mr. Peterson:

On November 22. 1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Catawba Nuclear

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

circumstances surrounding the violation are described in detail in the

enclosed report. Also, a deviation from NRC commitments was identified and is

cited in the enclosed Notice of Deviation. The circumstances surrounding the

deviation are also described in detail in the enclosed report.

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when 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,

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice." a copy of

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Sinceiely.
