SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-295/97019(DRP);
50-304/g7019(DRP))
,
Dear Mr. K'ingsley:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated November 3,1997, in response to our letter
dated September 30,1997, transmitting a Notice of Violation associated with Inspection Report
No. 50 295/97019(DRP); 50-304/07019(DRP) for the Zion Station. We have reviewed your
corrective actions and hava no further questions at this time. These corrective actions will be
examined during future inspections,
in your response, you denied that Violation 5, involving a quality control cleanliness inspection
during emergen;y diesel generator starting air check salve installation, was a violatir ; of NRC
requirements. Specifically, you maintained that the quality control cleanliness inspection was
performed correctly and that the manufacturer's material specification tag had become lodged
between the check valve body and air system pipe flange during final assembly after that witness
point had been satisfied. We reviewed pertinent documentation and interviewed personnel
associated with this activity. Information provided supports your characterization of this
occurrence and sve are, therefore, rescinding Violation 5.
'
We also noted that your response to the violation included corrective actions to improve the
staffs understanding and implementation of management's expectations in the areas of work
[
practices anel quality control inspector performance. The corrective actions included briefings of
0
the maintenance staff which stressed the *Stop, Think, Act, and Review" concept and the need
- for a second verification of foreign material exclusion principles. In addition, the quality control
