SUBJECT:
NRC NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND INSPECTION REPORT
NO. 50 341/97014(DRP)
Dear Mr. Gipson:
On November 7,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Fermi 2 reactor facility.
The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During this six-week inspection period, ynur staff demonstrated the ability to effectively plan
med execute a challenging mid-cycle outage. Our inspections identified that your corrective
actions for many of the problems observed during your last refueling outage were effective.
Personnel performance during this period continued to shov, improvement, as evidenced by
the iuw number of personnel errors and increasingly effective problem identification in the
plant. Work performed during the outage improved plant mater %I condition, but some
operator challenges remain due to equipment problems.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRd has determined that a violation of NRC
requirements occurred. The violation is cited in the enclosed Nutice of Violation (Notice),
and the circumstances surrounding it are described in detail in the enclosed inspection
report. The violation is of concern because operators failed to perform verification of the
availability of offsite power within the required time period when an emergency diesel
t
generator was declared inoperable. This violation is of additional concern because it is
similar to a recent failure to perform a verification of the availability of offsito power within
the required time period. The earlier violation was dit. cussed in Inspec4n Report 50-
341/97007.
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.
