NOTICE OF VIOLATION Illinois Power Company Docket No. 50-461 As a result of the inspection conducted on February 24 through March 13, 1986, and in accordance with the " General Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the following violations were identified:

1. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, as implemented by the Illinois Power Company Construction Quality Assurance Manual Chapter 16, requires that conditions adverse to quality are promptly corrected.

Contrary to the above, Illinois Power Company's Plant Staff failed to promptly correct the practice of recording battery specific gravities without compensating for electrolyte levels and as such, affected the quality of the safety-related station batteries.

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

2. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII, as implemented by the Illinois Power Company Construction Quality Manual Chapter 13, requires that

" measures shall be established to control the . . . preservation of material and equipment. . . to prevent damage or deterioration."

Contrary to the above, Illinois Power Plant Staff failed to establish measures to adequately control the preservation of the safety-related station batteries after accepting jurisdictional control from startup.

Deterioration and potentially damaging conditions noted in paragraphs 9.a.1 through 9.a.4 of the report, including a damaged terminal plate on the Division 2 Station Battery, occurred as a result. (461/86013-06)

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

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation: (1) corrective action taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid
