Docket No. 50-457
Commonwealth Edison Company
ATTN: Mr. Cordell Reed
Vice President
Post Office Box 767
Chicago, IL 60690
Gentlemen:
This refers to the special inspection conducted by Messrs. J. W. Muffett and
J. M. Jacobson of this office on July 8, 9, 11, 25, 26; August 1, 2, 5;
~ September 17, 25, 26; November 18, 19, 21, 26; December 10, 17, 1985; and
January 9,1986, of activities at the Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2,
authorized by NRC Construction Permits No. CPPR-132 and No. CPPR-133 and to
the discussion of our findings with Mr. M. J. Wallace at the conclusion of
the inspection.
The purpose of this inspection was to assess the implementation of the Material
Traceability Verification (MTV) Program at the Braidwood Station. A prior
inspection report (50-456/83-09; 50-457/83-09) identified deficiencies
concerning verification of installation of correct piping materials. Our
questions concerning these deficiencies were made into unresolved items
(456/83-09-04A, 457/83-09-04A; 456/83-09-048, 457/83-09-04B). The deficiencies
in your material control program identified in this prior report resulted in a
number of installed piping components which did not comply with applicable
design specifications.
During the March 7,1984 enforcement conference, you described the MTV Program
which provided for 100% inspection of the piping installed during the period
of interest. The procedures which control the MTV program and the
implementation of the procedures have been reviewed and inspected by the
NRC as discussed in the attached report. Our inspections and reviews have
found both the procedures and the implementation of the procedures to be
acceptable to address this issue.
The MTV Program, as discussed in your final report " Material Traceability
Verification at Braidwood", has discovered a number of instances in which the
material control procedures during the period of interest were not followed.
Although the MTV Program discovered examples of failure to follow material
control procedures and examples of installed piping components which did not
comply with the ~ applicable design specifications, engineering evaluation
of the results of the MTV Program has demonstrated that all installed
components were capable of performing their safety functions.

Therefore, due'to the lack of safety significance, it has been determined
that the violation for failing to follow the material control procedures is-
a Level IV violation.
The inspection showed that action had been taken to correct the identified
,
violation and to prevent recurrence. Our understanding of your corrective
actions are described in Paragraph 2 of the enclosed inspection report.
Consequently, no reply to the violation is required and we have no further
questions regarding this matter at this time.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Comission's regulations, a copy of
this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC
Public Document Room.-
We will gladly discuss any questions you haie concerning this inspection.
Sincerely,
