service requirements, technical specification compliance and radiological hazards were properly considered.
Of the areas examined no violations or deviations were identified.

Plant Tour During the plant tour which the inspector conducted, the following observations were made.
Plant equipment material condition appeared good.
No radiological controls problems were observed.
Plant housekeeping was poor.
Violations in inspection reports 85-05, 85-20 and 85-22 identified discrepancies in the control of combustible materials.
Inspection report 86-04, item 86-04-01, discussed housekeeping problems in low traffic areas of the plant.
Internal licensee memoranda dated 4/30/86, 5/8/86, 5/16/86 and 6/9/86 identified major, problems in this area.
The inspector concluded,,while in th'e facility on 6/12/86 'after normal plant working hours, with,the reactor operating at power, that at quitting time plant personnel had apparently ma'de very little effort to properly store the materials that they"'had Seen using to do work..'he following discrepancies were observed by the inspector at various times during the inspection and did'not meet NRC fire protection requirements and the licensee's procedural requirements, specified in PPH 1.3.35.
a.
On June 1'l", 1986 the:inspector obs'erved after working hours:
J
, A 1 pint plastic spray, bottle (not an approved safety container)
labeled "alcohol" on the '606'levation. of the Reactor Building.
The bottle was still there on June 12, 1986.
Fire door R 5-17'on the 522'levation of the Reactor Building propped open with,no fire systems impairment permit.
This door was also propped open on 6/12/86.
2 large cardboard boxes with combustibles unattended on the 522'levation of the Reactor Building.
These were still there on 6/12/86.
No transient combustible permit was in the area.
A large cardboard box on a wood (apparently untreated)
block stand beside the SLC area on the 501'levation of the Reactor Building.
These materials were also observed on 6/12/86.
No transient combustible permit was in the area.
b.
On June 12, 1986 a.m.~ while with licensee personnel, the inspector also observed:
Fire door R-408 to a motor control center on the 522'levation of the Reactor Building propped open with a wooden broom with tape over the latch to prevent latching and also rendering the

On 6/12/86 after working hours the inspector observed:
(1)
Xn the Reactor Building:
On the 606'levation, in a neat pile, two brag boxes of paper towels and various other cleaning materials.
No transient combustible permit was observed.
On the 522'levation the inspector observed:
A cardboard box full of plastic sheets in front of the electronics counting room.
No transient combustible permit was observed.
Two small piles of cloth and plastic, one under IR 71 and one under RRC PT 38A.
No transient combustible permit was observed.
A 10 gallon trash can so full of oily paper that it was propped open (also observed on 6/ll but not emptied).
The label on the can said to empty nightly.
No transient combustible, permit was observed.
A pile of trash on the floor including cloth, plastic and cardboard in a corner under TB&R 494.
These items were also observed on 6/ll/86.
No transient combustible permit was observed.
In front of the primary containment entry (also observed on 6/11'/86)
was an accumulation of combustible materials both xnside and,,outside of a'oped off area.
These
"h
"included; A large pile of hoses outside of the roped area (observed 6/ll and 6/12)
'A heaping/overflowing barrel of used protective clothing (observed 6/ll and 6/12)
'7 One lab coat hanging'rom scaffolding, another hanging on a nearby cart A full, brag box of paper A large plastic cart filled with full bags of rad waste and PC's left in the area No transient combustible permit was observed.

corner.
'o transient combustible permit was observed.
A plastic room built for thermolag work containing
cardboard boxes and 1 brag box.
Outside of this room was a large cardboard box of filters.
No transient, combustible permit was observed.
On the 501'levation the inspector observed:
In the NM corner a pile of hoses and a brag box of
'paper towels, no transient combustible permit was observed.
Inside of the shielded area in the NW corner, a very large yellow poly bag with some clothing in it, loose in.a,pile in the area (observed 6/11 and 6/12).
No transient combustible permit was observed.
(2),'>> In the Radwaste Building:
t
i In battery 'charger room-f/1 a plastic poly bottle (not in a safety container)
labeled
"Age Guard Silicon Fluid", "Keep Away From =Heat or Flame",, a brag box of paper towels and a
cardboard box,with plastic inside.
No transient combustible permit was observed.
In the Control Room Emergency Ventilation Room, a pile of hoses and electrical cord.
No transient combustible permit was observed.
In Division 1 Switchgear Room, Room C208, an aerosol can of enamel labeled "Extremely Flammable" stored in an open crew box and two rolls of cable on the floor.
No transient combustible permit, was observed.
In the Remote Shutdown Room a cardboard box of trash was observed on 6/11 and 6/12.
Mo transient combustible permit was observed.
Licensee procedure A.P. 1.3.35 lists various methods to control the use of combustible materials inside of plant areas and provides methods to control impairment of fire barriers.
These were apparently not being implemented effectively.
This violation is of a repetitive nature and makes it appear to the inspector that the corrective actions taken as a result of the previous violations have not been effective.
The above items constitute
