Brunner, Chief Reactor Operations and Nuclear Support Branch U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region I 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, PA 19406 NRC Inspection No. 79-16 Shoreham Nuclear Power Station - Unit No. 1 Docket No. 50-322

Dear Mr. Brunner:

This letter responds to your letter of January 21, 1980, which forwarded the report of the inspection of activities author-ized by NRC License No. CPPR-95, conducted by Mr. J. C. Higgins of your office on October 1 - November 6, 1979. The letter stated that it appeared that one of our activities was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements. The apparent noncompliance and our response follow:

Apparent Noncompliance with 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion II, FSAR Paragraph 3B-1.38 and ANSI Standard N45.2.2-1972 Contrary to the above, the following conditions were noted:

1. As of October 31, 1979 periodic inspections by personnel qualified in accordance with ANSI N45.2.6 were not performed to ensure the control of items in storage as required by ANSI N45.2.2.

2. No mechanism exists to update the Equipment Storage History Cards at the time when equip-ment changes location either in the warehouse or from the warehouse to a permanent inplant location.

3. Periodic cleanness checks are not specified '

for many of the components stored in the l plant (e.g., Standby Liquid Control Pumps and Motors, Core Spray Motors, and Residual '

Heat Removal Pumps and Motors). Additionally, as noted on inspections conducted between October 3 and October 11, 1979, many compo-nents were not maintained with adequate cleanness.

4. Caps, covers or plugs were noted to have been removed and not immediately replaced on several Category I components during inspections conducted between October 3 and October 26, 1979.

5. The space heaters in panels lH21*PNL10 and lH21*PNL26 were found to be deenergized on October 16, 1979.

General Comments We take partial exception to the findings noted above.

Field Quality Control (FQC) Procedure 17.1 and Project Procedure 10 assign responsibility for implementation of program require-ments for storage inspections to FQC and require FQC inspection personnel,to be qualified in accordance with ANSI N45.2.6.

Inspections performed under Construction Site Instruction (CSI) 4.6 are additional inspections performed by Construction personnel to assure that maintenance functions required by that reference are properly performed by the craft personnel.

A Component Stores Requisition (CSR) is required prior to any equipment being relocated from the warehouse to an inplant location. The Chief Mechanical Supervisor is required to sign the CSR before the equipment is moved, and he then directs the modification of the Storage History Card (SHC) . The CSR consti-tutes a record of the relocation until the SHC is updated. Records of relocation of material within the warehouse are maintained primarily for the use of warehouse personnel, and are not considered f

a requirement of the ANSI Standard. With respect to valves 1B21*AOV-081A&B, we can now find no evidence to support the finding that the SHC's were not properly updated to reflect the location change. However, we will continue to monitor this attribute closely to ensure compliance with requirements.

he et AND UGHTING COM AANY Mr. Eldon J. Brunner, Chief Page 3 Reactor Operations and Nuclear Support Branch February 21, 1980 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region I Cleanness checks are required by FQC Inspection Reports which include " Cleanliness" as one attribute.in addition to others such as protective coverings, coatings and storage levels.

Corrective Action and Results A Quality Control Instruction is being developed to more clearly define periodicity requirements for inspections of equipment in storage whatever its location. The specific items noted in para-graph 4.d.. of the inspection report, including the Battery Room where. extensive construction activities are now complete, have been cleaned. Missing caps, covers and plugs have been replaced, and the space heaters in Panels lH21*PNL10 and lH21*PNL26 have been reenergized. An inspection of the panels revealed no damage because of the lack of heat.

Steps Taken to Prevent Recurrence The Quality Control Instruction being developed to more clearly specify scheduling of periodic inspections of all items in storage, as discussed above, will be implemented promptly to minimize recurrence of the nonconforming conditions noted in the inspection report. The Battery Rooms will be locked.

Date Full Compliance Will Be Achieved All specific discrepancies noted in the inspection report have been corrected, and the Quality Control Instruction relative to scheduling of periodic inspections of equipment in storage will be published and implemented by March 15, 1980.

Very truly yours,
