SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTTON REPORT 50-454/455/96007
l
.
Dear Mr. Graesser:
On September 26, 1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your Byron 1 & 2
reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the inspection results.
During the 6-week inspection period, the inspectors observed examples of
safety-conscious operations, sound engineering and maintenance practices, and
careful radiological controls. However, we are concerned about your
configuration controls during the conduct of surveillance tests.
In one
instance, the inspectors identified a violation regarding an inadequate
procedure that resulted in running the 2A chemical and volume control pump
without essential service water to its lube oil cooler.
The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation, and the
circumstances surrounding the violation 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 Notice when
preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to
determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance
with regulatory requirements.
