APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duquesne Light Company Docket No. 50-412 This refers to the inspection conducted by representatives of the Region I (Philadelphia) office at the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2, Shippingport, Pennsylvania, of activities authorized by NRC License No. CPPR-105.
During this inspection, conducted on July 23-26, 197 !, the following apparent item of noncompliance was identified.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII, states, in part:
" Measures shall be established to control the -handling, storage... preservation of material and equipment... to prevent damage or deterioration. When necessary... special protective environments, such as inert gas atmosphere,... shall be specified and provided."
The Beaver Valley Power Station - 2 PSAR, Section 17.2, states in part: "The Duquesne Light Company Quality Assurance Program establishes measures to control handling, storage, shipping, cleaning, and preservation of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions to prevent damage or deterioration. When necessary for particular products, special protective environments, such as inert gas atmosphere, specific moisture content levels, and temperature levels, shall be specified and provided, and methods for verification of the existence of these environments during handling, storage, or shipping shall be specified".
The Duquesne Light Company Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual, Section 13.3, states in part:
"The procedures and instructions shall be utilized to assure that items sub, Ject to deterioration or damage through exposure to air, moisture or other environments during storage periods, are cleaned and have necessary preservation applied as required to prevent damage..."
Contrary to the above, as of July 26, 1979, Field Construction Procedure FCP-201, titled " Cleaning and maintaining the cleanness for Piping, Tubing and Associated Components" which was identified by the Engineers Specification 2 BVS-981 as the applicable procedure for storage and maintenance of equipment following its installation, did not require that an inert gas atmosphere be provided for certain components or that alternate measures be taken to protect the internal surfaces of the components, despite the fact that Specification 2 BVS-981 prescribed an inert gas atmosphere. As a result, a number of such components, including, Primary Component Cooling Water Heat Exchangers No.
2-CCP-E-21A, B and C had been stored without a protective internal environment since their installation, a period of approximately two years.
This item is an infraction.
