DRESDEN - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-237/2000012(DRS);
50-249/2000012(DRS)
Dear Mr. Kingsley:
On July 14, 2000, the NRC completed an inspection at your Dresden Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3. The results were discussed on July 14, 2000, with Mr. Swafford and other members of your staff. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
The inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to radiation safety and to compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, facility walkdowns, and interviews with personnel. Specifically, the inspection reviewed aspects of both your occupational and public radiation safety programs, and focused on access controls for radiologically significant areas, the radiological environmental monitoring program, and the controls for the unconditional release of radioactive materials. The radiological aspects of a recent incident during work on the traversing incore probe (TIP) drive mechanism were also reviewed. Additionally, your performance indicator process was reviewed for the occupational radiation safety and emergency preparedness cornerstones, and indicator data reporting for occupational radiation safety was verified -for accuracy.
Based on the results of this inspection, one issue was identified concerning the failure to adequately assess the work on the TIP drive mechanism, resulting in a violation of NRC requirements. This issue was evaluated under the risk significance determination process and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). The violation was not cited due to its very low safety significance and because the problems associated with the work have been entered into your corrective action program. If you contest the non-cited violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date-of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IlIl; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commrission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Dresden facility. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.-ov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection.
Sincerely, Dioes Gary L. Shear, Chief Plant Support Branch Division of Reactor Safety Docket Nos. 50-237; 50-249 License Nos. DPR-19; DPR-25 Enclosure:
