NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Docket Nos. 5~237; 5~249 License Nos. DPR-19; DPR-25 During an NRC inspection conducted on February 21 through April 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 Station 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 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, references Plant Fire Protection Program pre>cedures.
Dresden Fire Protection Procedures (DFPPs) 410~03, "Fire Watch Procedure," and 4175-01, "Fire Barrier Integrity and Maintenance," required that, "All fire watches established onsite shall be administratively controlled by the Operations Department Work Execution Center (WEC). Concurrence of the Safety and Property Loss Prevention (S&PLP) supervisor MUST be received prior to establishing OR terminating any fire watch."
Contrary to the above, on March 5, 1998, NRC inspectors identified the licensee established a fire watch and failed to contact the Work Execution Center and Safety and Property Loss Prevention supervisor before blocking open a fire door.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
- 2.
Criterion XVI, "Corrective Actions," of AppendiX B to 10 CFR Part 50 required that measures shall be established to ensure that conditions adverse to quality such as
- failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.
- Contrary to the above, on March 23, 1998, during a tour of the Unit 2 drywell, NRC inspectors identified conditions adverse to quality that had not been promptly addressed or corrected by licensee personnel until prompted by inspectors' questioning. The adverse conditions involved a steady stream of water running down the radiological shield wall and splashing onto electrical cable trays and onto personnel working inside the drywell.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Commonwealth Edison is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 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).

Notice of Violation compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed 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 will 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 Enforcement, 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 10 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;
.. provi"e the level of protection described in 1 O CFR 73.21.
