NOTICE OF VIOLATION t

l- Commonwealth Edison Company Docket Nos. 50-456; 50-457 l Braidwood Station License Nus. NPF-72; NPF-77 Braceville, Illinois l As a result of an inspection conducted from June 15 through July 26, 1996, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires that procedures be established, i implemented, and maintained for activities covered in Appendix A of Regulatory '

Guide 1.33. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, requires procedures for ,

administrative control of jumpers and instructions for energizing onsite j electrical systems.

a. Procedure BwAP 400-9, " Maintenance Alterations," stated that if a component with an alteration was declared operable, then any remaining temporary alterations would be processed in accordance with BwAP 2321-18.

Procedure BwAP 2321-18, " Temporary Alterations," stated that a work request with a maintenance alteration form would not be used i to track temporary installation, removal, or replacement of l equipment if the equipment was of different form, fit, or function 1 than the original; required different operating procedures; or i required a change to plant design documents.

Contrary to the above, on July 9,1996, ventilation damper ,

controller, OPDC-VWOO8, which had been altered by the installation  :

of a jumper, was declared operable, and a work request with a maintenance alteration form was used to track the alteration. The installation of the jumper rendered the controller different in '

form from the original controller and required diffeent operating procedures for the controller.

b. Procedure Bw0P MP-8, " Restoring Unit 2 Main Generator, Main Power Transformers 2E and 2W, and Unit Auxiliary Transformers 241-1 and 241-2," directed that breaker 2581, the Unit Auxiliary Transformer 241-2 feed to 6.9 kilovolt bus 258, be racked in.

Contrary to the above, on May 12, Unit Auxiliary Transformer 241-2 was restored and breaker 2581 was not racked in. l This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (50-456/960ll-04a & -

04b).

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
