Dear Mr. Stanley:
.
' On March 7,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Braidwood Generating
,
,
Station, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
. , .
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records,
'
- interviews with personnel, and observation of activities in progress.
l
!
This inspection was to perform the emergency preparedness core inspection in NRC
'
inspection Procedure 82701 and review the status of previous open inspection findings.
The report's Executive Summary provides an overview of our assessment of your
'
i
performance in Emergency Properedness, an aspect of Plant Support. At the conclusion of
,
the inspection the findings were discussed with those members of your staff identified in
the report.
4
,
The emergency ' preparedness program was effective in maintaining and improving
'
operational readiness of your emergency response facilities, equipment, and personnel.
i
Emergency response facilities, equipment, and supplies were in excellent material
,
,
condition. Interviews with emergency response personnel demonstrated excellent
1
"
[
' knowledge of emergency implementing procedures and responsibilities. Management
support was clearly a factor in the program's improvement over the last two years.
!
'
i
However, a problem was identified with the 1996 Site Quality Verification' audit of the
emergency preparedness program.
,
. Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
j
'
.
of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice). The
.
' violation concems the failure to evaluate, document, and report to corporate and plant
management the adequacy of interface with the State govemment,
i
)
.You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
7
enclosed Notice when propering your response, in your response, you should document
.
the specific actions taken and any additional actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After
i
j
reviewing your response to this Notice, including your proposed corr
results of future inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement
i
'
action is necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
