SUBJECT: NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-010/96009, 50-237/96009,
AND 50-249/96009 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Perry:
This refers to tne inspection conducted on July 13 through August 30, 1996, at
the Dresden Nuclear facility. The purpose of the inspection was to determine
rhether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely and in
accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements. During this
period, routine resident and special inspections of radiation protection and
control of licensed operator qualifications were performed.
In addition, an
assessment of your readiness to implement the Technical Specification Upgrade
Program (TSUP) was conducted. At the conclusion of the inspection, the
findings were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the
enclosed report.
Overall, during this reporting period, some specific items were identified
which indicate a lack of attention to detail and has resulted in a decline in
performance in some areas. This issue warrants continued management attention
and oversight. Of particular concern was returning an individual to licensed
duties without having that license properly reactivated.
Five violations were identified during the inspection period. The first
violation concerned the failure to perform an on-site review of a special
procedure for testing electrical . Bus 33-1. The second regarded returning an
individual to licensed duties without taking the actions necessary to fully
reactivate that license.
The third concerned failure to take effective
corrective actions with two examples. The fourth involv:i poor radiation
worker practices that resulted in an unnecessary exposure.
The fifth
regarded a Technical Specification violation when all Unit 3 diesels were
inoperable due to 4kV bus work and diesel surveillance scheduling. These
violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice), and the
circumstances surrounding the violations are described in detail in the
enclosed report.
Please note that you are required to respond to this
letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed
