This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by A. G. Januska and
R. B. Holtzman of this office on January 27-31, February 4 and 5, 1986, of
activities at Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 authorized by NRC
Operating Licenses No. DPR-2, DPR-19, and DPR-25 and to the discussion of our
findings with Mr. Scott and other members of your staff at the conclusion of thl
inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
e*amination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
In addition, our Mobile Laboratory was at the site
during the inspection to perform independent measurements of radioactivity.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice.
A written response is
required.
We are also concerned with laboratory and counting room weaknesses observed by
our inspectors and, to some extent by your QA auditors.
Fundamei1ta 1 QC measures
such.as trending of instrument behavior, testing of individual analyst
capability, and participation in cross checks were found to be not fully
implemented at Dresden.
These measures, together with management actions based
on evaluation of information obtained from these measures, are essential for the
confidence in analytical results required in an acceptable laboratory program.
We understand from our inspection that steps are being taken to fully implement
these measures in the near future.
We plan to examine this area in detail
during an upcoming inspection of your chemistry program.
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
in the NRC Public Document Room .
