NOTICE OF VIOLATION i

Comed Dockets No. 50-373; 50-374 LaSalle County Station Licenses No. NPF-11, NPF-18 Units 1 and 2 During an NRC inspection conducted on May 25 through June 22, 1996, one violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600,

tne violation is listed below

3 Title 10 to the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.59(b)(1), requires, in part, that licensees maintain records of changes in the facility "to the

, extent that these changes constitute changes in the facility as described in the safety analysis report." These records must include a written safety evaluation which provides the bases that the change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

a LaSalle Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Section 7.5.2.2.2.1, "Drywell

Hydrogen and Oxygen Monitoring Subsystem," subsection Operational

[knsiderations, Revision 5, stated, in part, "During normal operation, the system is maintained in a standby mode."

l Contrary to the above, on June 13, 1996, and routinely for more than a year prior to that date, the drywell hydrogen and oxygen monitoring systems for Units 1 and 2 were being operated in a continuous mode, not maintained in a standby mode, and a written safety evaluation to support this change in operation had not been performed.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Comed is hereby required to submit a written statement of explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region III, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the LaSalle facility, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation: (1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time. j l
