The inspector toured various areas of the facility to observe operations in progress, to inspect the general state of cleanliness, housekeeping and fire protection / prevention systems and conditions.
g.
The inspector used one or more of the following acceptance criteria for the above items:
Proposed Technical Specifications
-
Appendices A and B of 10 CFR 50
-
Regulatory Guide 1.120, " Fire Fighting (Rules for Nuclear
-
Power Plants)"
-
Regulatory Guide 1.39, " Housekeeping Requirement for Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants" Section 3.2.3 of ANSI N45.2
-
-
Section 6 of Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33.
Within the areas inspected no deviations or items of noncompliance were identified.
The inspector determined in the review of the administrative controls in section 5 - A above, that the administrative procedures do not appear to adequately address the indoctrination of all contractor personnel and offsite licensee personnel, who work onsite, in the appropriate admini-strative procedures which implement the fire protection program and the emergency procedures relative to fire protection and fire prevention.
The licensee stated in the exit interview that they were not aware that this area was not adequately covered in the administrative procedures but that this area would be reviewed and that appropriate steps would be taken to insure that this area is covered. This iter. is designated as open item no. 79-18-01 and will be reinspected on a subsequent inspection.
