SUBJECT:
BRAIDWOOD INSPECTION REPORT 50-456/98012(DRP);
50-457/98012(DRP)
Dear Mr. Kingsley:
On September 8,1998, the NRC completed an inspection at your Braidwood Units 1 and 2
reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection. _ During the
six-week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of activities was generally
i
characterized by safety-conscious operations, sound engineering and maintenance practices,
and careful radiological protectiun controls,
i
!
One non-cited violation is discussed in this report. This violation addresses your identification
I
that on one occasion for 42 seconds no senior reactor operator was present in the control
room with both units in operation which is a failure to meet Technical Specification manning
requirements.
Several material condition problems directly affected plant operations during this inspection
period. Most failures involved nonsafety-related equipment but occurred during evolutions
such as a feedwater pump swap, reactor shutdown, and a loss of offsite power. These
equipment failures did not have a profound impact but did complicate the evolutions.
