SUBJECT: NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-325/96 18, 50 324/96 18
Dear Mr. Campbell:
On January 18, 1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Brunswick reactor
facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During the six weeks covered by this inspection period, our ins)ectors found
that your staff generally took a safety conscious approach to t1e activities
conducted at the Brunswick plant. We are concerned, however, about two
violations of NRC requirements that were identified. The first example was
for failure to have properly calibrated test gauges during performance of a
required surveillance test on an emergency core cooling system. We are
concerned because accurate test data is necessary to ensure proper system
operation. The second violation was for failure to include several systems
used in Emergency Operating Procedures into the Maintenance Rule program. We
are concerned that systems relied upon in an emergency perform properly.
These violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation and the
circumstances surrounding the violations are described in detail in the
enclosed report. Please note that 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.
