Unit 1 and Unit 2 Docket Nos. 50-387, 50-388 License Nos. NPF-14, NPF-22 EA 98-349 EA 98-352 During an NRC inspection conducted between April 28, 1998 and June 8, 1998, one violation of NRC requirements was identified.

In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions", NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion Vill, Identification and Control of Materials, Parts and components, requires, in part, that measures shall be established for the identification and control of parts and components.

These measures shall assure that identification of the item is maintained by an appropriate means, either on the item or on records traceable to the item. These identification and control measures shall be designed to prevent the use of incorrect or defective material, parts, and components.

PP5L procedure, NDAP-QA-0201, Material Control Activities, established the requirements for receipt inspection for quality materials, and stated that all quality materials shall be forwarded to the receipt inspection group for inspection in accordance with procedure NP-QA-0401, Receiving Inspection.

NP-QA-0401, section 6.1, required, in part, item inspections to assure cleanliness.

Contrary to the above, on or about February 6, 1996 and February 3, 1998, controls of parts and components installed on the emergency diesel generators were not adequate to prevent the use of incorrect or defective parts and components, as evidenced by the following examples:

a \\

While performing maintenance activities on the "A"emergency diesel generator on or about February 3, 1998, under Work Authorization H70311 an emergency diesel generator head was installed that was not receipt inspected in accordance with NP-QA-0401, in that the head was not clean and'contained foreign material.

b.

PPSL procedure, NDAP-QA-0201, Material Control Activities, established the requirements for receipt inspection for quality materials, and stated that all quality materials shall be forwarded to the receipt inspection group for inspection in accordance with procedure NP-QA-0401, Receiving Inspection.

On or about February 6, 1996, emergency diesel generator (EDG) components were received and placed on the "C" EDG without the receipt inspection performed by the receipt inspection group.

response, then please provide a bracketed copy of your response that identifies the information that should be protected and a redacted copy of your response that deletes such information. If you request withholding of such material, you must specifically identify the portions of your response that you seek to have withheld and provide in detail the bases for your claim of withhold-ing (e.g., explain why the disclosure of information will create an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or provide the information required by 10 CFR 2.790(b) to support a request for withholding confidential commercial or financial information).

response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21.
