Gentlemen:
This refers tu the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. I. l. Yin of
this office on June 4-8, 11 dnd 13~14, 1990, of ~ctivities ~t the Dresden
Nuclear Power Station, Unit 3, authorized by NRC Operating Licens~ No. DPR-25
and to th~ discussion of our findings with Mr. E.
D~ Eenigenburg and others of
your staff at the coriclus1on of the inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report documents our evaluation of your
correctivt: actions conducted for the findings identified in your self-initiated
engim:ering oriented functiona1 inspecti,on and testing of the emergency diesel
~enerato~ system, which was a detailed vertical slice review of the system
design and performance.* With.iii this drea, the inspection consisted of a
_selective. examination of procedures d11d representative records, observations,
- and interviews with personnel.
We recognize the extensive resource commitr,1ent required in the performance of
this effort, which resulted i~ several significant findings.
Positive actions
were taken* both by the site and corporate organizations to promptly.correct
most of the findings identified.
Of *the 459 specific findings, 31 remained
open at the time of this .inspection.
However, the-inspection identified two
issues where ~dditional attention may-be warranted. lhe first issue aealt
with ir1terface difficulties between the QA group and the station in resolving
some findings.
The difficulties related to the required level of detail in
engineering evaluations utilized to close an item, and the closure of an item
prior to corrective action i~plementation based on proposed implementation.:
The second dealt with inattention to detail.
~he inspection found examples
where personnel either worked outside -0f the bounds of a procedure, were nbt
given adequate work instructions, or signed off on test results as acceptable
without explanation when the test failed to meet the stated acceptance
criteria.
No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the course of this
inspection.
