Gentlemen:
This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Messrs.
P. G. Brochman and J. M. Hinds, Jr. of this office on May 26 - June 12,
1987, of activities at Byron Station Unit 1, authorized by NRC Operating
License No. NPF-37 and to the discussion of our findings with
Mr. R. E. Querio and others of your staff at the conclusion of the
inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined
during the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted
of a selective examination of procedures and representative records,
observations, and interviews with personnel.
During this inspection certain of your activities appeared to be in
violation of NRC requirements.
1
We are releasing this report at this time for your information.
Following
an Enforcement Conference, you will be notified by separate correspondence
j
of our decision regarding enforcement actions, based on.the findings of
this inspection.
No written response is required until you are notified
of the proposed enforcement actions.
There have been four other events within the last two years (three w'ithin
the last six months) where redundant trains of safety-related systems were
simultaneously inoperable. The NRC recognizes that'the root causes of these
events were dissimilar; however, the NRC is concerned that taken together
these events are indicative of inadequate performance in ensuring operability
of safety-related systems.
