SUBJECT: ENFORCEMENT CONFERENCE

'

On October 22, 1986, Comonwealth Edison Company identified three instruments

inside the Zion Unit I containment having leads landed on terminal blocks as

described in LERs 295/86040-00 and 01. These instruments were declared

inoperable. As a result of this LER a significant deficiency was identified by l

the NRC and described as an unresolved item in inspection reports 50-295/87009(DRP); i

50-304/87011(DRP). This item has since been determined by the NRC to be a

violation of 10 CFR 50.49.

The NRC is considering this violation for appropriate enforcement action and has

scheduled an enforcement conference with you for August 11, 1988, at 9:00 a.m. l

(CDT) in the Region III office to discuss the violation. At the enforcement

conference, you should be prepared to discuss (1) the safety significance of l

the violation as well as the number of systems and components affected in each l

case; (2) the specific and underlying cause of the violation; and, (3) the

actions taken or planned to correct the violation as well as to ensure yourself

that Commonwealth Edison Company is currently in overall compliance with EQ

requirements.

Furthermore, you should be prepared to discuss the violation in light of the

'

Modified Enforcement Policy for EQ Requirements which is described in the

enclosure to Generic Letter 88-07, i.e., which items were promptly identified

,

'

by you and were they promptly reported to the NRC? What were your best efforts

to comply with the cule within the deadline? And if appropriate, why you believe

that you clearly should not have known of these deficiencies prior to the

November 30, 1985 deadline for being in compliance with the rules. We request

that at the enforcement conference, you provide a handout that succinctly

describes your position concerning these enforcement considerations.

Sincerely,
