The licensee stated in the response to this violation, dated October 17,
.19,83, that:
'"The June 28, 1983, Appendix R exemption requests to the NRC from Pilant to Vassallo describes the service water pump room and the
' fact that the area is bounded by a nonrated door.
An exemption was granted for this area in a December 14, 1982, letter from Vassallo-to Pflant in spite of the nonrated door....
In order to eliminate any.more confusion, we will include the exterior door to the service water pump room in our Surveillance Procedures (SP) 6.4.5.1 and SP 6.4.5.2 for completeness of our procedures.
The procedures will also' state that the door is not a rated fire door, but does not need to be, as stated above."
The.NRC inspectors reviewed SPs 6.4.5.1 and 6.4.5.2 and determined that door P105 had been deleted and the outer security door P106 was now included.
However, the procedures do not ".
. state that the door is
.
not a rated fire door The NRC inspectors also found, during
"
....
-review of Procedure 1.4, "St~ation Rules of Practice," that Attachment "F" had not been revised to delete door P105 and incorporate P106.
This item is open.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (298/8324-02):
This item was open pending review of licensee action to establish effective control over the snubber surveil-lance records.
The NRC inspectors reviewed P.rocedure 6.3.10.9.1, Revision 10, dated January 10, 1984, and determined that a detailed procedure with.well defined criteria is now included that will be used for selection of snubbers for test at the next refueling.
This item is closed.
(Closed) Open Item (298/8326-05): This item was open pending NRC review of the revision to' Procedure QAI-4, " General Guidelines-QA Surveillance," that would bring Procedure QAI-4 into agreement with QAI-5, " General Guidelines -
