Dear Mr. DelCeorge:

This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. T. Taylor, J. Shine,

,

2

Prescott, G. Hausman, and Ms. P. Lougheed of this office from November 23,

f 3 2, through January 11, 1993. This inspection included a review of

'

authorized activities for your Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station facility. At

the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those

members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.

2

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress.

During this inspection, certair of your activities appeared to be in violation

of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation

(Notice). The first violation is of concern because it involved your failure

to provide prompt resolution of a previous violation, which in itself,

concerned the failure to adequately identify and promptly resolve a % diesel

generator logic issue.

Also during this inspection, certain other of your activities appeared to be

in violation of NRC requirements. However, as described in the enclosed

inspection report, you identified-the violation, therefore, it is not being

cited because the criteria specified in Section VII.B.2 of_10 CFR Part 2, 1

Appendix C (Enforcement Policy) were met.

Additionally, two events occurred involving the temporary cooling water to the-

instrument air system. We are concerned about your administrative controls

over balance-of-plant activities which could impact plant operations. In

addition to addressing the above violations, we request that your response

also address your planned actions to ensure adequate control over balance-of-

plant activities which could affect plant operations.
