Dear Mr. Reed:
This refers to the inspection conducted by D. Hills, C. Phillips, and
-
'-
M. Miller of this office, and by J. Roman of_ the Illinois Department of
Nuclear Safety, on October 14 through November 25, 1992. The inspection

!.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in _ the report. -Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of select'ive examinations of procedures
!
and representative- records, interviews with- personnel,_ and observation of
activities in progress.
i
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
.
of NRC requirements, as specified in the anclosed Notice of Violation
j
(Notice).
These violations are of concern as they represent a-lack of
attention to detail during refueling operations, . routine operations',. and in
the preparation of procedures. This problem.was further-emphasized by the:
-
failure of operations personnel to recognize that authorizing:an out-df-
.
service was not consistent with the current plant configuration.
The-
!
significance of these instances ranged from two fuel assemblies being -loaded
l
in'the incorrect storage locations to reactor scrams._ We request a written
i
response within-30 days describing your actions to address the lack;of
- ~
attention to detail at your station. We are concerned with the effectiveness
i
of management in taking lasting corrective actions.
As.a result, we would
like to discuss this report and subsequent events at a management maeting-
i
l
which will be scheduled with you in.the near future.
Other activities were also identified to be in violation of NRC requirements,

j
-
However, as described in the enclosed inspection report, these violations will:
not be subject to enforcement action because the criter.ia specified -in-Section
VII.B of the " General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement-
L
i-
Actions," (Enforcement Policy, 10 CFR Par _t 2, Appendir C (1992)) were
j'
satisited.
