SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-254/97021(DRP); 50 265/97021(DRP)
Dear Mr. Pearce:
This refers to the inspection conducted on September 23 through November 3,1997, at the
Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether
activities authortzed by the license were conducted safely and in accordance with
NRC requirements. During this period, routine resident inspections were performed. The
enclosed report presents the results of this inspection. Based on the inspectors' findings, overall
performance at the Quad Cities Station was safe. At the conclusion of the inspection, the
findings were discussed with those members of your staff Identified in the enclosed repoit.
Operators demonstrated good control during complex plant manipulations. Even though the
improvements made to the maintenance and planning process have decreased work raquest
backlogs, equipment problems continued to affect unit operations and availability of supporting
equipment. You identified procedures which allowed operators to bypass the primary
containment supprossion pool function during inerting or de-inerting activities, but failed to report
instances when Technical Specifications (TS) were not met in this area. You also identified
additionalinstances where TS required surveillances were missed. This is a continuation of a
problem we identified in previous inspections. You should apply appropriate management
attention to ensure surveillance testing is accomplished in the required time intervals. Additional
occurrences of inadequate procedures to implement safe shutdown actions in the event of a fire
were identified, and will be reviewed in a separate inspection report.
