Dr. T. /23/85 Corrective Steps Taken to Preclude Recurrence On March 26, 1985, Bechtel, our Architect / Engineer and Con-structor, issued Jobsite Non-Manual Bulletin #219 and Manual Bulletin #36 warning personnel against placing debris in electrical cable trays. In high risk areas, flame retardant coverings were placed over cable trays to provide protection from work operations being performed nearby.

Bechtel's Project Superintendent has initiated a program whereby a crew of approximately ten (10) electricians are assigned full time to inspect work areas for debris in cable trays and to remove any such debris found. This crew circulates throughout the Power Block and provides regular reports to the Project Superintendent. On weekends, a Construction Aide is assigned

[

to perform random surveillance to verify the effectiveness of the program. Reports on the program detailed above are maintained by the Project Superintendent in his office.

The Project Superintendent has continued to remind all Lead Discipline Superintendents in daily noon meetings of the importance of protecting electrical cable and trays from debris.

The Date of Full Compliance The jobsite is now in compliance with housekeeping requirements for electrical cable and trays. Although the placing of debris in cable trays is an act of vandalism that cannot be totally prevented, the program detailed above has been effective in identifying and correcting such occurrences in a timely manner.

This program will be continued until no longer required.

Very truly yours, C Office of Inspection and Enforcement Division of Reactor Construction Inspection Washington, D. C. 20555
