SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-456/96012; 50-457/96012
.
Dear Mr. Stanley:
On September 6, 1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your Braidwood 1 & 2
reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the results of that
xinspection.
,
During tM 6-week inspection period, a significant weakness regarding out-of-
'date co:
i room drawings was identified by the inspectors.
In addition,
E
there were several examples of failing to follow procedures during plant
activities. Through these failures, non-licensed operator performance
indicated a lack of understanding regarding valve position verification,
independent verification, and procedure adherence requirements.
Procedure
adherence problems have been previously discussed in Inspection Reports 95017,
96006, and 96011.
Preconditioning a cooling water supply valve for the 1A diesel generator prior
to surveillance testing the diesel generator, the failure to perform an
independent verification of valves during a Unit 2 diesel generator
surveillance, and the failure to indicate out-of-date drawings in the control
'
room that had pending revisions are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation.
The circumstances surrounding the violations are described in detail in the
enclosed report.
Please note that you are required to respond to this letter and should follow
the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your
response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to determine whether
further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory
requirements.
