NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket No. 50-373 As a result of the inspection conducted from April 15 through May 9,1986, and in accordance with the General Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C), the following violations were identified:

1. Technical Specification 6.2.A.8 requires that detailed written procedures be prepared, approved, and adhered to for the recommended procedures in Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2 which includes Equipment Control (e.g. locking and tagging) procedures. The licensee's equipment out of service procedure, LAP 900-4, Paragraph 3a, requires that all

, personnel protection cards and all necessary out of service cards must be removed before energizing, operating, or changing the position of components for a test.

Contrary to the above, a member of the licensee's technical staff opertted the charging water supply valve to the scram accumulator of Control Rod 22-51 on Unit 1 on May 7, 1986 with an equipment out of service tag still attached.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement I).

2. Technical Specification 3.9.2 requires that during refueling operations at least two Source Range Monitor (SRM) channels must be operable and inserted to their normal operating level. One of the SRM detectors must be located in the quadrant where core alterations are being performed and the other required SRM detector must be located in an adjacent quadrant.

Contrary to the above, on April 25, 1986, a fuel bundle was inserted into quadrant A of the core while the quadrant A SRM detector was not inserted to its normal operating level.

l Contributing to this violation were two procedural violations:

I

a. Refueling procedure LAP 1600-2 requires that communications to operating personnel must be clear and concise; must be given in such a manner that they are understandable; and must be verified by having the operator repeat back verbal instructions. This was not done by either the communicator on the refuel floor or the NSO in the control room.

b. Refuel procedure LFP 400-1 requires that when transferring a fuel assembly from the fuel pool to the core, personnel on the refuel platform are to notify the control room when moving over the core.

This was not done.

1 l In combination, these are a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

Notice of Violation 2

3. Technical Specification 6.2.A requires that written procedures including applicable checkoff lists covering various operations of the facility shall be prepared, approved, and adhered to. Fuel loading procedure LFP 100-1 requires that steps on the Nuclear Component Transfer List must be performed in the exact order listed.

Contrary to the above on May 2, 1986, the licensee failed to adhere to the fuel loading procedure and inserted a wrong fuel bundle into the reactor.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each item of violation: (1) corrective action taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid further violation; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
