ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION PECO Energy Company Docket Nos. 50-277/278 Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 License Nos. DPR-44, Delta, PA DPR-56 During an NRC inspection conducted between June 8 and August 9,1997, a violation of NRC requirements was identified, in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG 1600, the violation is listed below:

Technical specification 5.4.1 requires, in part, that written procedures be established and maintained covering the bypass of safety functions.

Contrary to the above, PECO did not properly maintain writton procedures for the bypass of the main control room (MCR) ventilation system isolation when a Division i MCR radiation monitor was inoperable. Specifically, Procedure GP-25 Appendix 13, MCR Ventilation isolation, Division I, failed to provide complete instructions for maintaining radiation monitor RIS-0760A in a tripped condition. Consequently, on or about July 10,1997, a PECO technician removed the monitor from a tripped condition, contrary to technical specifications.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, PECO Energy Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C,20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region 1, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Viola-tion" and should include for each violation: (1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.

Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction, if personal privacy or proprietary information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, then please provide a bracketed copy of your response that identifies the information that should be protected and a redacted copy of your response that deletes such information. If you request withholding of such material, you must specifically identify the portions of your response that you seek to have withheld and provide in detail the basis for your claim of withholding 9709190253 970912 PDR G ADOCK 05000277 PDR

O e Enclosure 1 2 (e.g., explain why the disclosure of information will create an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or provide the information required by 10 CFR 2.790(b) to support a request for withholding confidential commercial or financial information). If safeguards information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21.

Dated at King of Prussia, Pennsylvania this 12th day of September 1997.
