SUBJECT

NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-461/97005(DRP)

!

. Dear Mr. Cook:

. i

On May.14,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Clinton Facility. The i

enclosed report presents the results of that inspection, j

The inspection focused on how issues were identified and addressed. We concluded that

personnel were able to raise issues using the condition report process, or, in the case of

. quality assurance personnel, using the audit finding process. However, because of past

experience some individuals were concerned about the long term effectiveness of the

4 revised condition reporting system. We also determined that quality assurance personnel

had sufficient organizational independence to identify issues. No violations of NRC

requirements were identified during this inspection.

.

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 (PDR).

[ ,

i Sincerely,

l

/s/ J. L. Caldwell
