Dear Mr. Peterson:

SUBJECT: NRC~ INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-413 AND 50-414/97-300 Thank you for your response of March 4,1998, to our Notice of Violation (NOV)

issued on February 2. 1998, concerning activities conducted at your Catawba facility. We have evaluated your response and found that it meets the requirenents of 10 CFR 2.201.

Your' corrective action associated with Violation B of the Notice will be reviewed during future inspections.

After reviewing your letter, we agree with your conclusion that ViolatioI) A of the February.2. 1998. Notice did not constitute a violation. Accordingly, we will adjust our records to reflect that no violation of regulatory requirements occurred with respect to this issue.

However. Technical Specification 3.7.13 requires the Standby Shutdown Facility

.(SSF) to be operable. - The security officers are the primary method of starting and operating-the SSF and the qualifications of the security officers l-to perform these tasks ~should have been continuously assured.

~

You found the necessary knowledge and skills to operate the SSF properly and reliably in an emergency were not evident when the security officers were tested at the end-of one year. Therefore, a:more conservative approach, by retraining quarterly, as described in your reply to Notice of Violation. would have been g

L appropriate until experience was gained with security officer retention of h

requisite knowledge, skills and abilities.

Your response to this. violation describes actions taken in accordance with your systems approach to training

-

process.to address problems identified with the security officer SSF training program. Your plans appear to be appropriate and adequately address our i

previous concerns.

No further response regarding this issue is required.

_ Your cooperation.in this matter is appreciated.
