SUBJECT:
BRAIDWOOD INSPECTION REPORT 50-456/99002(DRP); 50-457/99002(DRP)
Dear Mr. Kingsley:
i
On March 1,1999, 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 6-week period
covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities was generally characterized by safety-
conscious operations, sound engineering and maintenance practices, and careful radiological
!
work controls.
Activities which were of particular note included your operators' performance in addressing
failures of the Unit 1 annunciator inverters. Control room operators promptly assessed the
Unit 1 and Unit 0 annunciator system status, declared an unusual event, made the proper
notifications, identified the inoperable annunciators, and implemented compensatory actions.
Also, control room supervisors demonstrated an excellent safety focus when they performed an
annunciator-by-annunciator review of the inoperable annunciator windows to identify available
indications to monitor system status.
