NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket No. 50-374 LaSalle County Station, Unit 2 License Nos. NPF-18 During an NRC inspection conducted on April 27 through May 31, 1993, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1993), the violation is listed below:
LaSalle Technical Specification 6.2.A.a requires written procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, be established, implemented, and maintained.
Regulatory Guide 1.33 includes procedures for preparation for refueling and refueling equipment operation.
LaSalle Fuel Procedure (LFP)-100-2, " Administrative Control of Transfer of fuel or Special Nuclear Material Between or Within the Spent Fuel Pool (s) or Vaults", requires in part that the transfer of fuel bundles be verified as correct with regard to the designated bundle being moved in accordance with the nuclear component transfer list.
Contrary to the above, on May 11, 1993, a fuel handler moved the incorrect bundle and the supervisor overseeing the fuel transfer mistakenly verified that the designated fuel bundle on the nuclear component transfer list was being moved.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement 1).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Commonwealth Edison is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington D.C. 20555, with a copy to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region III, 799 Roosevelt Road, Glen Ellyn, Illinois, 60137, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the LaSalle County Station within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violation or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a demand for information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
