Training Department instructions further specify what is considered quality record ANSI N45.2.9-1974 specifies that quality records storage facilities meet certain construction requirements and be designed to prevent larceny and vandalis In deviation from the above, Training Department QA records are stored in a room which does not meet construction requirements or contain provisions , to prevent larceny or vandalism in that: the walls are not constructed with reinforced concrete, concrete block, masonry, or equal construction; the sealant is not applied over walls as a moisture or condensation barrier; an adequate fire protection system is not present; and structures, doors, frames and hardware are not constructed to meet a 4-hour fire ratin (298/8925-01) Reason for the Deviation The training facility at Cooper Nuclear Station completed construction in early 1987.

Records are stored in one hour _ fire rated cabinets and the records storage area is protected by a sprinkler syste Duplication of the data, significant for verification ,of training attendance, is in the process of being entered and validated on the new
