@TICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket Nos. 50-373; 50-374 LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 License Nos. NPF-11; NPF-18 During an NRC inspection conducted on September 23 through September 25, 1993, ,

violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the

" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10  :

CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violations are listed below:

1. 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 i of Fuel or Special Nuclear Material Between or Within the Spent Fuel

• Pool (s) or Vaults", requires, in part, that all steps in the Nuclear Component Transfer List be completed and verified by the Fuel Handling Supervisor.

Contrary to the above, on September 13, 1993, during defueling of the Unit 2 reactor, fuel handlers placed and verified a spent fuel bundle +

designated by the Nuclear Component Tranfer List to be placed in spent '

fuel pool position FFF-38 into position GGG-38. ,

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).

2. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Section XVI, states, in part, " Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality ... are ,

promptly identified and corrected ... the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition."

Contrary to the above, corrective actions for a similar event in May l 1993, did not prevent fuel handlers from placing spent fuel in an -1 incorrect location in the Unit 2 spent fuel pool on September 13, 1993.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

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 Regional Administrator, Region III, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within _
