F
'
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Ms. H. Simons of
this office and others on July 13-16, 1993. The inspection included a review
,
of authorized activities at your Fermi 2 Nuclear facility. At the conclusion
of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those memoers of your
staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective-examination of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of-
activities in progress.

!
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements concerning the failure to notify _the
NRC within one hour of declaring an Unusual Event. However, as described in
the enclosed inspection report, you identified this . violation.
Therefore, the
violation will not be subject to enforcement action because your_ efforts in
,
identifying and correcting the violation meet the criteria specified in
Section VII.B of the " General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC
Enforcement Actions," (Enforcement Policy, 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C).
In addition, one exercise weakness, regarding the failure to classify a Site
Area Emergency was identified during this inspection which will require
corrective action.
This weakness is summarized in the Appendix to this
letter. As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix E (IV.F), any weaknesses that are
j
'
identified must be corrected.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
-
this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC
Public Document Room.

APPENDIX
Exercise Weakness
i
10 CFR 50.54(q) requires that the licensee follow and maintain an emergency
plan.
The licensee's emergency plan required that a Site Area Emergency be
declared based on a fire affecting nuclear safety systems or engineered safety
features.
However, during the 1993 exercise, the licensee failed to properly classify a
Site Area Emergency based on a fire affecting an engineered safety feature.
This concern is discussed in Section 5a of Inspection Report 50-341/93009.
