NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company-Docket Nos. 50-237;50-249 Dresden Station, Units 2 and 3 License No. DPR-19; DPR-25 During an NRC inspection conducted on July 8 through October 17,1996, 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:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires in part, that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented procedures of a type appropriate for the circumstances and include appropriate qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.

Contrary to the above, Maintenance Procedure DES 6700-03, Revision 7, dated April 18, 1996, " Inspection and Maintenance of General Electric 4KV Magne-Blast Circuit Breakers Types AM-4.76-250-OD (Horizontal Drawout)," an activity affecting quality, was not appropriate for the circumstances in that it directed an inappropriate sequence of lubrication steps including the use of an incompatible degreaser. In addition, the licensee failed to control the use of incompatible chemicals, such as penetrating oils, that were used during breaker troubleshooting and maintenance. This resulted in hardened grease preventing the 3A Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) pump breaker from tripping open for ten seconds on June 11,1996.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
