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.
