Dear Mr. DelGeorge:

This refers to the inspection conducted by A. M. Stone, M. Peck, J. D. Smith,

D. Liao, and V. P. Lougheed of this office, and by R. Zuffa of the Illinois

Department of Nuclear Safety, on May 6 through June 18, 1993.

The inspection

included a review of activities authorized for your Dresden Nuclear Station,

Units 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, weaknesses were noted in the area of engineering

support.

A poor containment inspection by a system engineer resulted in

additional dose for insulation removal.

Also, a system engineer did not

identify wired closed dampers during a separate drywell ventilation system

inspection.

That oversight resulted in a unit shutdown and additional dose.

A weakness in the implementation of your integrated reporting process was

identified.

Management expectations on personnel participation have not been

clearly communicated to the maintenance and operations departments.

The lack

of operations participation was identified in a previous inspection report.

Full cooperation by all personnel is necessary to ensure the identification

and resolution of conditions adverse to quality.

Please provide a discussion

on the resolution of the weaknesses and concerns identified above during the

next routine management meeting.

During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation

of NRC requirements.

However, as described in paragraph 6.a. of the enclosed

inspection report, *the violation was categorized as Severity Level V and is

not being cited because the criteria specified in Section VII.B of the

"General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions,"

(Enforcement Policy, 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C}, were satisfied.
