Dear Mr. Lyster:

This refers to the inspection conducted by M. Leach, M. Peck, A. M. Stone,

M. Bielby, D. Chyu, and T. Tella of this office, and by R. Zuffa of the

Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety, on August 17 through October 6, 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.

The purpose of the inspection was to determine

whether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely and in

accordance with NRC requirements.

Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared

to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of

Violation (Notice).

The first violation was cited for failure to take

adequate corrective actions to re-establish train separation in the

containment cooling service water system.

This violation is of concern

because it is another example of a failure to apply proper safety focus on

emergent issues.

The second violation was cited for failure to perform

required licensed operator medical evaluations.

This violation is of concern

because it represents a failure to follow requirements after multiple prior

notifications on this issue .
