SUBJECT:
Notice of Violation (Inspection Report Nos. 50-373/94017(DRP);
EC-374/94017(DRP))
Dear Mr. Querio:
This refers to the inspection conducted by P. Brochman and other NRC
inspectors, and by R. Zuffa of the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety, on
August 20 through October 7, 1994. The inspection included a review of
authorized activities for your LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2,
facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed
with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the in pection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
and rerctesentative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
During this inspection, certain of your activities related to incorrectly
oriented orifices appeared to be in violation of NRC requirements, as
specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice). This violation is of
concern because it demonstrates a continued weakness in your corrective action
program. After the close of this inspection, we identified an additional
orifice that was installed backwards.
In your response to the Notice of
Violation, please include your plan and schedule for addressing the issue of
incorrectl.y oriented orifices in safety-related and important to safety
'
systems.
Overall, the inspectors determined that engineering performance was acceptable
with some improvements noted.
However, the inspectors identified a number of
concerns which merit continued management attention (Section 3 of this report
and Section 3.1 of its attachment).
Some of these concerns were identified in
our inspection of progress made in fulfilling your commitments described in
Attachment B to your April 1, 1994, response to inspection reports
50-373/93026; 50-374/93026 and 50-373/93035; 50-374/93035.
In addition to
your required response to the Notice of Violation, we request you provide the
projected schedule and current status' of your corrective actions described in
Attachment B to your April 1,1994, response, specifically in the areas of
equipment reliability and preventative maintenance (Sections E.2, F.4.a and
F.4.b).
