SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-346/97008(DRP) AND
NOTICE OF VIOt.ATION
Dear Mr. Wood: .
On July 7,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at the Davis-Besse site. The enclosed
report presents the results of that inspection.
Unit restart following completion of the forced outage to replace the main transformer was
conducted in a controlled, conservative manner. However, two violations of NRC
requirements were identified during this inspection. Both violations involved your staff's -{
failure to apply the requisite administrative controls for proceduralizing work instructions.
The first violation pertained to a change to the operator rounds sheets that was issued for
use without the required review and approval. The second violation involved the use of
" action plans" instead of approved procedures, to partially drain se')ments of piping on
systems attached to the reactor coolant system. The action plans had not undergone the
reviews and approvals required for procedures before use. While neither violation resulted -
in a direct degradation of plant safety or was indicative of a programmatic breakdown, the
violations are of concern because of the importance associated with planning and controlling
work activities affecting quality through the use of procedures.
These violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation and the circumstances
surrounding the violations are described in detailin the enclosed report. Please note that
you are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the'
enclosed Notice when preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to
determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with
regulatory requirements. j
