NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Docket Nos. 50-237;50-249 License Nos. DPR-19; DPR-25 During an NRC inspection conducted on February 9 to March 3, 1998, two violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below:
- 1.
Dresden Technical Specification 6.8.A requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. Procedures addressing the operation of emergency diesel generators are recommended in RG 1.~3.
Contrary to the above:
A.
As of March 3, 1998, the licensee failed to maintain operating procedure DOP 6600-02 sufficiently to operate the emergency diesel generator (EOG) by not providing adequate procedural guidance regarding the setup and EOG running Volts, AC Amperes, and Kilowatts measured for an automatic start condition.
B.
Between August 21, 1996 and March 3, 1998, the licensee failed to maintain operating procedure DOP 6500-09 sufficiently to operate the EOG by not providing adequate procedural guidance regarding the unloading of the generator and the opening of the main circuit breaker.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
- 2.
10.CFR Part 55.27 requires, in part, that the facility licensee shall document and maintain the results of medical qualification data and test results for each operator, and provide the documentation to the Commission upon request.
Contrary to the above, as of February 13, 1998, the licensee failed to maintain the required documentation of current medical examination data for a lice.nsed operator that exceeded the biennial medical evaluation due date.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Commonwealth Edison Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region Ill, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation: (1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed 9803310090 980326 PDR ADOCK 05000237 G
correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration wili be given to extending the response time.
If you contest this enforcement action, you should also provide a copy of your response to the Director, Office of Enforceme!'lt, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction. If personal privacy or proprietary information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, then please provide a bracketed copy of your response that identifies the information that should be protected and a redacted copy of your response that deletes such information. If you request withholding of such material, you must specifically identify the portions of your response that you seek to have withheld and provide in detail the bases for your claim of withholding (e.g., explain why the disclosure of information will create an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or provide the information required by 1 O CFR 2. 790(b) to support a request for withholding confidential commercial or financial information). If safeguards information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21.
