This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs. T. M. Tongue
and M. J. Jordan of this office on September 5, through October 2, 1981, of
activities at Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 1, 2 and 3, authorized by
- NRC Operating Licenses No. DPR-02, No. DPR-19 and No. DPR-25 and to the dis-
cussion of our findings with Messrs. R. Ragan, D. Farrar, J. Eenigenburg and
others of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination of procedures and representative records, obser~ations, and
interviews with personnel.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in non-
compliance with NRC requirements, as described in the enclosed Appendix A.
A written response, submitted under oath or affirmation, is required.
During the inspection, a discrepancy in the tag-out system was identified
by your personnel on the nonsafety related-Unit 3 feed system (see para-
graph 2.d. of the inspection report).
During calendar year 1981, two
items of noncompliance have been identified by our inspectors for similar
occurrences.
This is a matter of safety concern since it indicates in-
sufficient management oversight has been devoted to the control of out-
ages (tag-outs) and could lead to more serious events.
Please advise us
in writing within 30 days of the date of this letter of the corrective
action you have taken or plan to take to improve management control of
the outage tag-out system.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
this letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed
