NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket Nos.: 50-456;50-457 Braidwood Nuclear Plant License Nos.: NPF-72; NPF-77 During en inspection conducted from September 8 through October 19,1998, one violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below:

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, " Corrective Actions," requires, in part, that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected. In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.

Contrary to the above, as of August 18,1998, the licensee failed to initiate measures to determine the cause or take action to preclude recurrence of the loose bolts on two of the four emergency diesel generator lubricating oil heat exchanger end bells, a significant condition adverse to quality, that were found on July 10 and 12,1998.
