DPR-19; DPR-25 During an NRC inspection conducted on July 28, 1998 through August 28, 1998, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions, "NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

Dresden Administrative Procedure (OAP) 7-52, "Control of Equipment Draining,"
Revision 0, Section G.5.b.(5) provided guidance for controlling the draining and water sampling process during testing of the reactor building fire suppression system.
Contrary to the above, on August 28, 1998, adequate directions for performing the water sampling process was not contained in OAP 7-52. Specifically, the location for collecting and sampling the reactor building fire suppression system water during testing was not adequate. As a result, management's interpretation and direction for the sampling process did not agree with the staff's interpretation of the OAP 7-52 procedure.
