/ ro-Gentlemen: Thank you for your letter dated April 28, 1981,- informing us of the steps you have taken to correct the items of noncompliance and providing , ! us with additional information concerning the unresolved items and addi-tional concerns which we brought to your attention in Inspection Report Nos. 50-254/81-04 and 50-265/81 04 forwarded by our letter dated April 3, l 1981.
I We understand, based on telephone discussions with members of your staff, r ! Mr. R. L. Bax on May 5,1981, Mr. J. R. Wunderlich on May 12, 1981 and ! Mr. J. S. Abel on May 21, 1981, that you have taken or will take the following additional actions: . . 1.
For Noncompliance Item No.1 in Attachment A to your letter, the inspection of all the cabling in the Unit 2 Cable Tunnel was. performed by electricians and QC personnel who were supervised by the Assistant , l Superintendent of Maintenance. The results of this inspection are documented in Onsite Review No. 81-6.
2.
For Noncompliance Item No. 2 in Attachment A to your letter, you will l revise Standard Contract Requirement SCR-11 to include a requirement l that cognizant station management personnel be notified prior to any fire barrier being iegraded. This includes fire barriers being breached in addition to existing fire barrier penetration seals being opened. SCR-11 is a requirement of all contractors that work at the station.
3.
Far Noncompliance Item No. 3 in Attachment A to your letter, the necessary inspections to assure that the plant remains in a state of adequate cleanliness will be conducted by the Assistant Fire Marshall on a weekly basis.
In his absence, the plant inspections will be con-ducted by an operations ataff member. Deficiencies identified during these inspections will either be corrected inmediately or transmitted in writing to the responsible station personnel for correction.
4.
For Additional Concern No. 1 in Attachment B to y',ar letter, two operating procedures, QOS 005-S13, " Operator Surveillance Turnover $ 'O 8 1 0 !i 1 g g
- . ' , . I Commonwealth Edison Company-2-Sheet - Unit 1 Equipment Attendant," and QOS 005-S14, " Operator Surveil-lance Turnover Sheet - Unit.2 Equipment Attendant," will be revised to include inspection of all equipment and personnel hatches into the Unit I and 2 Cable Tunnels from the Auxiliary Electric Equipment Room and the Turbine Building 595' Level once each shift. This will provide verification that these hatches remain closed. The equipment hatch in the cable riser area from the Unit 2 Cable Tunnel (Turbine Building 595' Level, area F-G/12-13) has been locked closed.
These actions and those delineated in your letter are acceptable to mitigate the occurrence of the hatches being left open. However, they do not adequately demonstrate that your safe shutdown analysis, as documented in your letters to the NRC dated July 31, 1978, October 1, l 1979 and January 23, February 29, and March 4, 1980, is not compro-mised by the unrated hatches between the Cable Tunnels and the Turbine l Building 595' Level. Therefore, you agreed to provide an additional t l response addressing this concern. Specifically, 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G., is to be utilized as the criteria for determining which equipment and cabling necessary for safe shutdown could be affected by l l a fire that spreads from a Cable Tunnel to the Turbine Building 595' Level through the unrated personnel and equipment hatches.
We will examine these matters during a subsequent inspection.
With respect to your response regarding Unresolved Ites No. 3 in Attach- , ment B to your letter, our position on these issues has not changed and they are being evaluated by IE Headquarters. No action by you is presently required on these items.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
