McGuire Project Manager U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 11555 Rockville Pike Mail Stop 0-8 G9A Rockville, MD, 20852-2738 John Zeiler NRC Senior Resident Inspector McGuire Nuclear Station Violation 50-370/81-21-01 as documented in Inspection Report 50-369181-37 and 50-370/81-21 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V and the accepted QA Program Section 17.2.5 requires that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented procedures and that these activities shall be accomplished in accordance with these procedures. The accepted QA Program Table 17-0-1 states that the licensee conforms to Regulatory Guide 1.39 (Revision 1) which endorses ANSI N45.2.3-1973. Station Directives 3.11.0, Housekeeping and Cleanliness, Revision 7 dated April 1981, implements the cleanliness and housekeeping program and states, in part, the following for zone designations of Level IV: smoking or use of tobacco products is not permitted.

Contrary to the above, activities affecting quality were not accomplished in accordance with the approved procedure in that the following item was identified during the inspector's tour of various plant areas on December 2, 1981.

1. Various Level IV cabinets (Relay Racks) in the control room had cigarette butts in the bottom of the cabinets.

Duke Response Item # 4 in January 22, 1982 Letter:

4. All electrical cabinets are now checked for cleanliness at a minimum of two-week intervals by Electrical craft personnel. Additionally, the cabinets in the Control Room are checked on a periodic basis by Construction Quality Control.

Revised Response:

The NRC commitment as described above transpired in 1981 during the construction era and is considered historical in nature. Given the condition of electrical cabinets during this time period, inspections at two-week intervals was appropriate. Currently, Nuclear System Directive (NSD) 104, "Material Condition/Housekeeping, Foreign Materiel Exclusion and Seismic Concerns" is the fleet directive that programmatically envelopes all plant equipment including control room electrical cabinets. Smoking is not allowed in the Control Room. Designated smoking areas inside the protected area are controlled.

Revised Action:

Cabinet terminal box and panel inspections are evaluated and maintained through the Periodic Maintenance (PM) program described in Engineering Documents Manual (EDM) 411, "Engineering PM Program Processes."
