Dear Mr. DelGeorge:
This refers to the inspection conducted by M. Leach, M. Peck, A. M. Stone,
R. Langstaff, and I. Yin of this office, and by R. Zuffa of the Illinois
Dep~rtment of Nuclear Safety, on February 5 through March 15, 1993.
The
inspection included a review of activities authorized for your Dresden Nuclear
Station, .LJnits 2 and 3, facility.
At the conclusion of the inspection, the
findings were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the
enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation
(Notice).
The violation, discussed in paragraph 4.a. of this report, is of
concern because of the repetitive failures to follow out-of-servite
administrative controls.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in*the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence of failures to follow your out-of-
service administrative controls. After reviewing your response to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforce~ent action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
During this inspection, certain other activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements.
The non-cited violations (NCVs) described in paragraphs
4.a. and 7.a. of the enclosed inspection report were categorized as Severity
Level V and are not being cited because the criteria specified in Section
VII.B.(l) of the "General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC
Enforcement Actions," (Enforcement Policy, lQ CFR Part 2, Appendix C), were
satisfied.

your response to Regulatory Guide 1.97, revision 3, "Instrumentation for
light-water-cooled nuclear power plants to assess plant conditions during and
following an accident."
Please provide us within 30 days from the date of this letter a written
statement in accordance with the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice
of Deviation.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
this letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed
