SUBJECT:
NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-341/96006
Dear Mr. Gipson:
l
On August 2, 1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your Fermi 2' reactor
l
facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection,
j
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.- Within~
!
these areas, the inspections consisted of a selective examination of
procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and
i
observatics of activities in progress. The purpose of the inspection effort
j
was to determine whether activities authorized by the license were conducted
safely and in accordance with NRC requirements.
l
!
This inspection report represents an integrated product of a number of diverse
j
inspections that were conducted during the inspection period. The summary
contained in the report provides an overview of our assessment of your
!
performance in the four functional areas (Operations, Maintenance,
i
Engineering, and Plant Support) in which inspections were performed.
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-
Violation. Specifically three violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In the first instance, corrective actions for a previously cited violation
'
were insufficient to prevent recurrence in that your staffs monitoring of
,
safety related service water system performance failed to identify repeat
fouling of a drain line.
In the second violation, workers . failed to follow
site procedures by improperly staging equipment in the Division II Battery
.
Room.
l
l
The third violation involving the failure to include a valve in the Residual
!
Heat Removal Service Water System Operating Procedure was of' concern because
l
it was a another example of inadequate procedures.
Problems with inadequate
and incorrect procedures were documented in Inspection Reports 96002, 96004,
l
and 96005. _ In your response to the third violation, you are requested to
,
l
discuss corrective actions implemented in response to the continuing trend of
j
inadequate procedures and provide a status of these actions.
