NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket No.

50~237 Dresden Nuclear Station Docket No. 50-249 As a result of the inspection conducted on October 11 thru December 1, 1989, and in accordance with the General Policy and Procedur~s for NRC Enforcement Actions, (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C), (1989) the following violation was identified:

1.
  • 10 CFR 50.48(a) requires that each operating nuclear po~er plant have a fire protection plan that satisfies Criterion 3 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50:

It further requires that the plan shall describe specific features necessary to implement the plan such as administrative controls to limit fire damage to structures, systems or components important to safety so that the capability to safely shut down the plant is assured.

Section C.l of the licensee's response to the Guidelines of Appendix A to Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1 as accepted in the 1980 Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report indicates that administrative measures are established to ensure that guidelines of the Branch Technical Position are included in design and procurement documents and that deviations the~efrom are controlled.

Contrary.to the above, a penetration in a three hour fire rated wall located in a safety related area of the 570 feet elevation of the reactor building, as prescribed by Section D.l.j of the Branch Technical Position, was not included in design dotuments and deviations were not controlled.

Tne fire rated wall was degraded in 1985 by replacement of the original piping with non-approved polyvinyl chloride plastic piping and was further degraded on October 25, 1989 when the piping was completely removed and the penetration left unsealed.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (No. 237/89022-02(DRP)).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation:

(1) corrective action taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
