CINCINN ATI.OMIO 4 5201 v CE och May 28, 1980 QA-1301 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III 799 Roosevelt Road Glen Ellyn, Illinois 60137 Attention: Mr. Gaston Fiorelli RE: WM. H. ZIMMER NUCLEAR POWER STATION - UNIT I NRC INSPECTION REPORT N0. 80 DOCKET NO.

50-358, CONSTRUCTION PERMIT CPPR-88, W.0. #

57300-957, JOB E-5590 Gentlemen:

This letter constitutes our formal reply to the subject inspection report. It is our opinion that nothing in the report or in this reply is proprietary in nature.

Our responses to the items of noncompliance cited in Appendix "A" of the report are as follows:

Item 1 - Weld Rod Control (a) Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved Henry J. Kaiser Company Special Process Procedures Manual, Section 3.3, R7, dated March 11, 1980, does require the portable rod wamers to be electrically plugged in at all times except during transport to and from the rod shack.

All weldors are instructed to follow this procedure when they are employed and it is the superintendent's responsi-bility to make sure the weldors are doing so. It is also the job responsibility of the rod shack designee to make random field checks to make sure the weldors are following this requirement.

A sign has been posted on the rod shack window instructing the weldors to plug in their portable rod warmers as soon as they reach their designated work area.

(b) Corrective Action to be Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance Effective May 8,1980, stickers are being placed on each j 8006260 M 3

Mr. Gaston Fiorelli U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III May 28, 1980 - QA-1301 Page 2 portable rod warmer (as a reminder), stating the portable _

rod warmer should be plugged in at all times.

(c) Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved This item is considered to be in compliance as of the date of this letter.

Item 2 - Electrical Component Supports on Block Walls (a) Corrective Action and Results Achieved The procedure, QACMI E-16, does not contain the recormended manufacturer instruction. However, the through bolts in question were installed per Design Document Change E-3563 dated September 12, 1978 and this document does include the torquing requirements. Other design instructions for block wall attachments are as follows: DDC's SLS-330, 338, 348-Rev. 2, 335 and S-1692.

The above cited procedures will be revised to reflect the required information and also to incorporate the later information from Sargent & Lundy as outlined in DDC SLS-516.

(b) Corrective Action to be Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance The revised procedure will be issued and training classez will be conducted in the field to familiarize the workers with the latest through bolt requirements.

(c) Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved The revised procedure will be issued and the training classes will be completed by May 30, 1980.

We trust that the above will constitute an acceptable response to the subject inspection report.

Very truly yours, THE CINCINNATI GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY By h h [ +_-
