SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-010/95008:
50-237/95008: 50-249/95008)
Dear Mr. Joyce:
Enclosed are the results of our inspection conducted by M. Leach, and others
of this office, and by C. Settles of the Illinois Department of Nuclear
l
Safety, on April 25 through June 12, 1995. The inspectors reviewed activities
l
authorized for your Dresden Nuclear Station, Units 1. 2 and 3.
At the
conclusion of the inspection, the inspectors discussed their findings with
members of your staff.
.
The areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas. the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
,
'
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress. The purpose of the inspection was to determine
whether activities authorized by your licenses were conducted safely and in
accordance with NRC requirements.
Overall, we found that the conduct of activities during this period was
satisfactory. There were two issues of concern during this period. The first
'
was the failure of plant staff to adhere to management expectations.
Examples \\ k
of this were the failure to take manual action to secure a reactor water
cleanup pump before it' tripped on low suction pressure, failure to follow a
,g
'
surveillance procedure, and the routine use of human out-of-services for
g
maintenance. The second was the inability to take effective corrective
actions.
Local leak rate test failures from the last Unit 3 refueling outage
were not reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73. A violation was issued in
Inspection Report 94014 for a similar problem.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
