ATTACHMENT A Commonwealth Edison Company Response to.Notice of Violation NRC Docket Nos.50-010 50-237 50-249 The item of non-compliance identified in Appendix A of the NRC letter, dated March 9, 1982, is responded to in the following para-graphs:
- 1.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion II, requires activities affecting quality be accomplished under suitably controlled conditions, including adequate cleanliness.
The licensee's Quality Assurance Program, Section 2.2, requires that the licensee adhere to all mandatory requirements of ANSI Nl8.6.
ANSI Nl8.7-1976, Section 5.2.10, requires quality housekeeping practices encompassing all activities related to control of fire prevention and protection, including disposal of com-bustible material and debris.
In addition, Administrative Procedure DAP 3-11 defines responsibilities for plant clean-liness and items to be examined on plant tours.
Contrary to the above, during routine plant tours on January 26 and 27, 1982, the inspectors identified several safety related equipment areas with significant quantities of com-bustible materials present.
Examples include:
(1) the Unit
- 2 E:nlergency Diesel Generator room where *there were paper wipes, rags, and wood soaked with oil on the floor or on the engine foundation, plus a GI can without a lid containing used oil filters, oily rags, paper, etc.; and (2) the Unit 2/3 Emergency Diesel Generator room, where there were about 12 open oil drums with as much as several gallons of oil re-maining in each drum,. an open refuse barrel overflowing with oily rags and wipes, etc., plus considerable rags, wipes, and oil on the floor and work bench.
In addition, there was evi-dence of individuals smoking in the Unit 2/3 Diesel Generator room in the form of.numerous cigarette butts, burned matches, and an empty match book on the floor.
Corrective Actions and Results Achieved The combustible materials were immediately removed from the Unit 2 and Unit 2/3 Emergency Diesel Generator rooms.
Maintenance foremen and per-sonnel from the operating department were subsequently reminded of the importance of our housekeeping/cleanliness requirements.
Also, a "No Smoking" sign has been posted at the entrance to the 2/3 Diesel Gener-ator room as had been done previously for the Unit 2 and Unit 3 Diesel Generator rooms.
Corrective Actions Taken to Avoid Further Nort~Compliance Implementation of the present revision of Procedure DAP 3-11 which de-fines responsibilities for plant housekeeping practices has been effect-ive in improving plant cleanliness. It is our belief that the non-
- l - compliance described in the I. E. Inspection Report was an isolated case because of the extensive work being done to the diesel generators and the numerous outage activities which were in progress.
Date When Full Compliance Will be Achieved Since the discussions with the Maintenance anrl Operating personnel.
and the posting of a "No Smoking" sign has been accomplished, we be-lieve full compliance has been achieved.
