- SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-456/96014; 50-457/96014 :
NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Stanley:
On October 18. 1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your Braidwood 1 & 2
reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the results of that
inspection. Overall, we found that plant operations were conducted safely.
We are concerned about two incidents of poor performance by non-licensed
operators that resulted in equipment damage to the 1C condensate booster pump i
! and spraying about 150 gallons of water into the diesel generator fuel oil l
! tank room. These events indicated a failure to properly control evolutions in i
l
the field. We are also concerned that NRC inspectors identified that the
latest revision of a surveillance procedure was not used when performing the
surveillance on the 1B Diesel Generator which was a violation of NRC I
requirements.
The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation, and the
circumstances surrounding the violation is described in detail in the enclosed
report. Please note that you are required to respond to this letter and
should follow the instructions specified :.1 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.
With respect to your temporary alteration process, while we recognize that you I
have made some recent progress in reducing the number of temporary alterations
in use at the plant we are concerned with the high number that have been in
place for greater than 18 months. Management controls to ensure that non-
conforming plant problems are permanently fixed in a timely manner have not
been effective in these instances.
