SUBJECT: COLUMBIA GENERATING STATION - ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RESPONSE

TO NRC BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000397/2018003 AND

DISPUTED NON-CITED VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Sawatzke:

This letter acknowledges your November 29, 2018, correspondence (ML18333A389)

in response to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Inspection

Report 05000397/2018003 (ML18304A362), dated October 31, 2018. In the inspection report,

the NRC documented a Green non-cited violation (NCV) that was the subject of your response:

workers in a high radiation area exceeding 1.0 rem/hr. The cover letter to the inspection report

requested you to respond in writing within 30 days if you contested any of the violations.

On November 29, 2018, the NRC received a letter from you contesting this NCV. The NRC is

currently reviewing your basis for contesting the violation in accordance with Section 2.2.7 of the

Enforcement Manual. Accordingly, we will provide the results of our evaluations by written

response within 90 days of the receipt of your letter.

This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection

and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document

Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for

Withholding.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Heather J. Gepford, Chief
