1 Gentlemen:

i  !

!

This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Messrs. J. Holmes, (

l R. Hodor, and K. Sullivan, of this office during the period of February 22-26,  !

j June 27-28 and September 1, 1988, of activities at Quad Cities Nuclear Power  ;

i Station, Units 1 and 2, authorized by NRC Operating Licenses No. DPR-29 and  ;

No OPR-30, and to the discussion of our findings with Mr. N. Kalivianakis  ;

at the conclusion of the inspirettor.. This inspection was conducted to assess j

,

compliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, and to review implementation of certain r

j Fire Protection Program requirennts.

l

! The enclosed copy of our inspe.: tion report identifies areas examined during

] the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective I

!

examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and i

!'

interviews with personnel. ~

During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation

of NRC requirements,

j We are releasing this report at this time for your information. Following an

Enforcement Confe ence, you will be notified by separate correspondence of our

i

decision regarding enforcement actions based on the findings of this inspection.

No written response is required for the apparent violation until you are

notified of the proposed enforcem6nt actions.

, We are concerned with what appears to be a lack of adequate Safe Shutdown

i Procedures as required by Appendix R. We request that you address at the

] upcoming Enforcement Conference the actions that would have been required

l to be taken in the event of a disabling fire in fire areas 11.1.1.B. 8.2.6.C

) and 8.2.7.C prior to the February NRC inspection. In fire areas S.2.6.c and

1 8.2.7.c you should also consider a disabling fire that would cause a spurious

l closure of the RCIC Inboard Steam Supply Isolation Valve concurrent with a loss

i of Switchgear 18 due to high impedance faults. You should in,.lude in your

discussion the length of time to complete all manuc1 operations.
