IE Inspection Report 50-369/78-42 APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company License CPPR 84 Based on the results of the NRC inspection conducted on December 5-8, 1978, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with requirements as indicated below. These items have been categorized as described in our correspondence to you dated Decem-ber 31, 1974.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, says in part " activities affect-ing quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures,
. and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures.
." In the area of housekeeping and cleanliness activities, these requirements are established by Duke Power Company Quality Assurance Program Topical Report, Section 17.2.5, and the Steam Production Department Administrative Policy Manual, Section 3.11.
These requirements are implemented by Station Directive 3.11.0, Housekeeping and Cleanliness, which states in part:
a.
Level I cleanliness shall be applied to any area containing open portions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.
b.
Level IV areas shall be marked by prominently displayed signs as per Attachr ant 6 to the directive, Inspection of a Level IV cleanliness area shall be performed c.
on a random basis by a Quality Control Engineer.
Contrary to the above:
a.
The reactor vessel head was removed, stored, and replaced under maintenance work request OPS-12401 issued August 10, 1978, without the application of Level I cleanliness require-ments. The work was accomplished utilizing the less stringent Level III cleanliness requirements.
b.
On a tour of the Auxiliary Building on December 7,1978, the inspector noted that the v.ssential Battery Rooms were not posted as a Level IV cleanliness area.
The Essential Bcttery Rooms have not been inspected as a Level c.
IV cleanliness area since their provisional acceptance by the Steam Production Department in February 1977.
This is an infraction.

Response
a.
As stated in the inspection report, the reactor vessel head was removed, stored, and replaced following the cold hydro to prepare for hot functional testing. The general area was not maintained as Level I cleanliness as required by the Administrative Policy Manual (APM) and implemented by Station Directive 3.11.0. A complete inspection of the Reactor Vessel and internals was performed prior to replacing the reactor vessel head to insure that cleanliness requirements were met.
In future removal of the reactor vessel head, the general area will be maintained as a Level I cleanliness area as required by the APM and Station Directives.
b.
As a result of the NRC inspection on December 7, 1978, all doors to the essential battery rooms have been posted as Level IV cleanliness areas as required by administrative controls.
Periodic inspections will be conducted of this area to insure proper posting of the essential battery rooms.
The station is in full compliance with the cleanliness requirements at this time.
c.
The Steam Production QC/QA Department periodic inspection program at McGuire presently includes an inspection for cleanliness of the essential battery rooms. These areas will be inspected on a periodic basis similar to other areas in the plant.
