ILUNOts 60532-4351 .- ..... { . t September 23, 1997 . Mr. John K. Wood Vice President - Nuclear Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Centerior Service Company 5501 North State Route 2 . Oak Harbor OH 43449 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 ' . 9710020002 970923 PDR ADOCK 05000346 .- - -. - o
