Functional or Program Areas Inspected
1.
Audits of Contractor and Subcontractor Quality Records
The inspector reviewed audits which were conducted by Commonwealth
Edison quality assurance department to evaluate the inventory of
documentation in the files on its various contractors and sub-
contractors. The inspector sampled a portion of audit report
No. QA-20-79-49, QA-20-80-1, and QA-20-80-2 which were made on the
L. K. Comstock and Company Inc., from Nuclear Installation Services
Company (NISCO) and the V. S. Wallgren Company respectively.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified in the review
of these audits.
2.
Storage of Quality Assurance Records
During the audit of the records described in Paragraph 1, the RIII
inspector observed the following:
That the record storage facility used to store the quality
a.
assurance records did not meet the requirements of being a four
hour minimum rated facility as described in Subdivision 5.6 of
ANSI N45.2.9-1974 is endorsed by Regulatory
-2-
.,
i
Guide 1.88.
When further questioned on this matter the licensee
stated that their record storage vault had been designed by
Sargent & Lundy (S&L) to be a two hour rated facility.
b.
Those records that were not stored in the main vault, but were
stored at the location of each of the licensee's contractors or
subcontractors site offices were also improperly stored. Records
were being stored in one hour rated file containers meeting NFPA
No. 232 (Class D) requirements.
c.
With regard to the records stored in a one hour rated file
container at the NISCO office, which is located inside a ware-
house on the second floor of a wooden structure internal to the
warehouse, the inspector observed that the room had wooden walls
with wooden ceiling and wooden floor and a one gallon can of
rust preventing lubricant (flammable) being stored right next to
the file container. This one gallon can of rust preventing
lubricant was immediately removed by the licensee.
d.
Records stored in the Phillips Getschow office building storage
facility had the following discrepancies:
No fire damper in the
penetrations to the storage facility for heating and air condi-
tioning; the ceiling was a metal decking used for the floor of
the storage room above the storage facility; a large quantity of
records were not stored in fully enclosed metal cabinets, on the
contrary they were stored on wooden racks; the area was also
used to store paper supplies also on wooden racks.
These conditions described in the above paragraphs 2.a. - d.
constitute an item of noncompliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B,
Criterion XVII.
(456/80-01-01; 457/80-01-01)
3.
FSAR Commitment for the Storage of QA Records
The Braidwood FSAR, Appendix A, Page A1.88-1 commits to Regulatory
Guide 1.88, Collection, Storage, and Maintenance of Nuclear Power
Plant Quality Assurance Records. The Commonwealth Edison Topical
Report CE-1-A commits to comply with Regulatory Guide 1.88, Revision
2.
The Braidwood FSAR, Chapter 17, states in part, "Section 2.2 of
the above referenced Topical Report provides for compliance with
certain Regulatory Guides and ANSI standards. Any exceptions taken
to the requirements of these guides are found in Appendix A of this
FSAR.
Otherwise, Byron /Braidwood stations are in compliance with the
guides and ANSI standards." No exceptions to Regulatory Guide 1.88
are taken in Appendix A of the FSAR. The Regulatory Guide endorses
ANSI N45.2.9-1974. Subdivision 5.6 of ANSI N45.2.9-1974 states in
part, " Permanent and temporary record storage facilities shall be so
constructed or located as to protect contents from possible destruc-
tion by causes such as fire, flooding, tornadoes, insects, rodents,
and from possible deterioration by a combination of extreme varia-
tions in temperature and humidity conditions.
. Records discussed
. .
-3-
e .
in this standard are appropriately classified for fire protection
s
purposes as National Fire Protection Association Class I and as such
should be afforded the equivalent protection of a NFPA Class A, four
hour minimum rated facility."
Contrary to the above, the licensee is storing quality assurance
records in a facility that has less than a four hour minimum rating.
This constitutes another example of the item of noncompliance identified
in paragraph 2 above.
(456/80-01-02; 457/80-01-02)
Exit Meeting
The inspector met with the site staff representatives (denoted under
Persons Contacted paragraph) at the conclusion of the inspection on
January 17, 1980. The inspector summarized the scope and findings of the
inspection including the one apparent item of noncompliance identified in
Paragraph 2 and the one apparent deviation identified in paragraph 3 of
the Details section of this report. The licensee acknowledged the findings.
