Subject:
Byron Generating Station Units 1 & 2 Civil Penalty I&E Inspection Report Nos. 40-454/84-32 and 50-455/84-25 Reference (a): December 4, 1984 letter from J. G. Keppler to Cordell Reed.
Dear Mr. Sniezek:
. This letter contains Commonwealth Edison's reply to the Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty which was issued by the NRC in reference (a). Our check for $40,000 is also enclosed.
The Company does not contest the facts set forth in the Notice of Violati;n on which the imposition of the civil penalty was based. However, the-Company does not admit or deny that the violation occurred. The circumstances surrounding this matter have been thoroughly explored in the remanded operating license hearing before the Byron ASLB. One of the most significant issues underlying this matter is the adequacy of the equipment supplied by Systems Control Corporation. An extensive inspection and analytical effort has confirmed the adequacy of equipment supplied by Systems Control Corporation in its as-built condition to the satisfaction of the Staff.
Commonwealth Edison communicates on an almost daily basis with the M C Staff. We are well aware of the necessity for accuracy and completeness
'in those communications so that the P C is fully apprised in all matters within its regulatory responsibilities. We have undertaken programs described in Attachment A, the detailed response to the Notice of Violation, which deal with both the specifics underlying the Notice of Violation, the
_other ambiguous statements referred to in reference (a) and the general issue of accuracy and completeness in written communications to the EC. As set forth in Attachment A, we have satisfied ourselves that the events giving rise to the Notice of Violation represent an isolated occurrence.
Very truly yours, 85011h0283850104 PDR A x 05000454 PDR Cordell Reed G_

, Viol'ation
$ In thc Commonwealth Edison January 26, 1981 response to the Noticelof Violation-issued December-30, 1980 for Noncompliance Items ,
No. 454/80-04-01; 455/80-04-01, the licensee stated, in part, "For Systems' Control Corporation, source inspection has been conducted for all safety-related equipment shipoed since February'1980 and source-inspection will be conducted on all future shipments involving Systems Control. These inspections have been conducted by Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory (PTL) under the direction of the Byron Quality Assurance Department. The inspections cover welding, equipment identification, sealing of instrumentation lines and other '
. specification _ requirements."
' Contrary to the above statement, all safety-related equipment shipped since February-1980 had not been source inspected for welding by PTL or any other non-SCC organization as of January 26, 1981. Equipment not source inspected for welding during the period February.1980 through January 26, 1981 included two main control boards, four DC fuse panels, a cable pan hanger and numerous wclded items covered by Material Receiving Reports 8453, 8773, 8907, 8964 and 9283.
Response
The statements in the above citation correctly reflect the ,
facts to the best of our knowledge with one exception: there were three control boards'which were not source ~ inspected rather than two (2PM04J, 2PMllJ and 2PM12J).
In order to determine why the Commonwealth Edison Company response of January 26, 1981 inaccurately stated the extent of source inspections performed by Pittsburg Testing Labs at the 4- Systems Control Corporation plant in Iron Mountain, Michigan, during-the period February 1980 and. January 1981, a > review of the events i L which;took place at that time was conducted. This review examined related. documentation, including shipping documents from Systems Control and inspection reports from PTL. In addition, knowledgeable individuals from CECO and PTL who were at the Byron Site at-tF1 time C + thelevents took place were interviewed.by the CECO Director of Quality Assurance. After conducting the interviews, reviewing documentation and examiningLthe process by which the_ January 26, 1981 response to.the NRC Staff was prepared, it was possible to' draw certain conclusions as to the reasons why source-inspection:was not performed on all SCC equipment shipped after February 15, 1980 and prior.to: January 26, 1981.

As described in the testimony of Mr. George Marcus before the Atomic. Safety and-Licensing Board, extensive source inspections
,t .were-performed by PTL on equipment shipped from SCC after February,
'1980'.';TheseJsource inspections, which were acceptab2e to the NRC
" Staff as corrective action, provided assurance that the equipment
' inspected met regulatory requirements. Table 1 attached describes the source ir.spections which took place subsequent-to February, 1980.
Corrective Action Taken-
. ; 1 There is no specific corrective action feasible in g- connection with this matter. The individuals involved in determining i _ _the scope'of the PTL source inspections for the January 26, 1981
' written ~ response to.the NRC Staff no longer have any responsibility for:such-communications. In order to determine whether other written
- D representations to the Staff may have been inaccurate, the Quality yp . Assurance Department. conducted a special audit. That audit report
- dated July-24,,1984 established that Commonwealth Edison is properly
- - ; ! implementing all other commitments made to the NRC Staff arising'out of!NRC items of noncompliance.
'The failure to conduct source inspections of SCC equipment
. led the Company and the NRC Staff to question the adequacy of the F +' equipment sucplied by SCC. Extensive weld reinspections and stress evaluations have been conducted to assure the adequacy of the installed ~ SCC equipment and components. 'These efforts were described -
in detail'in the testimony of--Kenneth T. Kostal and Bradley.Maurer .
during thetremanded Byron operating license hearing. All categories qs Kof equipment have been found to be acceptable including those for.

- which exist;in'the; cable tray hanger system'and the conservative

Similarly,. random; samples of.various types of cable pan weld' connections have-been.rei.nspected'in the plant. No design

Actions Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance Special efforts will be made to improve communications among the individuals involved in the preparation of responses to NRC
- noncompliances to. avoid future inadvertent misrepresentations.-
Individuals responsible for preparing responses will be reminded of their. personal responsibility for the accuracy of information provided to the NRC.- Seminars for key individuals will be held for
- .this purpose at Eyron, Braidwood and the General Office during January, 1985. Similar seminars will be held at the other nuclear stations during.the first quarter.of 1985. A lawyer will attend each.
- of these seminars.to discuss the aspects of the NRC's Enforcement
. Policy relating to material false statements and satisfy any aj .
questions'which may exist. The circumstances which led to this civil penalty will also--be reviewed with these individuals.
