Docket Nos. 50-295; 50-304
Commonwealth Edison Company
ATTN: Mr. R. Tuetken
Site Vice President
Zion Nu-lear Generating Station
101 Shiloh Boulevard
Zion, IL 60099
Dear Mr. Tuetken:
SUBJECT:
ROUTINE RESIDENT INSPECTION REPORT AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by J. D. Smith,
M. J. Miller, V. P. Lougheed, and S. G. DuPont of this office from
November 24, 1993, through January 6, 1994. This inspection included a
review of activities authorized for your Zion Nuclear- Generating Station. At
the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those
members 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 selective examinations 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, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice). The violation is of concern because it illust. rates'a
failure to verify the satisfactory performance of safety equipment.
Appropriate criteria.were not rigorously developed and applied, creating'a
potential for unsatisfactory equipment performance to be unrecognized and
i
un;orrected.
In addition, this . demonstrates a need to ensure that the plant
design basis information is documented and disseminated to all plant employees
who a ed it.
In addition,.during this inspection period, certain other of your activities-
appeared to be in violation of NRC requirements. Specifically,-a technical
.i
specification surveillance was missed and offsite review of a safety
evaluation was not performed. However, as described in the enclosed
inspection report (section 8), you identified these violations. Therefore,
the violations will not be subject to enforcement action because your efforts
in ' identifying and correcting the violations met the criteria specified in-
Section VII.B.2 of the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC
Enforcement Actions" (Enforcement Policy, 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C).
