Fecshtees 0.welcoment (4193 259-5242 Mr. James G. Keppler Regional Director, Region III Directorate of Regulatory Operations U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 799 Roosevelt Road Glen Ellyn, Illinois 60137 7
Dear Mr. Keppler:
Toledo Edison acknowledges receipt of your March 12, 1976 letter and enclosed inspection report referencing the apparent noncompliances with NRC regulations.
These items resulted from the site inspection conducted by your office on February 11-13, 1976.
Toledo Edison offers the following information regarding these apparent noncompliances, including corrective action and steps taken to avoid further occurences.
Item A - Infraction G
" Contrary to 10 CFR, Part 50.55(e) (2), the licensee failed to promptly notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Inspection and Enforcement Regional office of a reportable deficiency, pertaining to the buckling of the top rings of the borated water tank."
Portions of the top two plate rings of the Borated Water Storage Tank buckled when a vacuum condition was produced during construction flushing ar:ivities on January 3, 1976. This condition was promptly documented on a nonconformance report. At a meeting with the tank's manufacturer on February 9, 1976, it was determined that additional stiffeners should be installed on the Borated Water Storage Tank to ensure its overall structural adequacy under seismic conditions.
During this February 9, 1976 meeting, it was also determined that the buckling required reporting per 10 CFR, Part 50.55(e), and since NRC Inspectors were due at the site on February 11, 1976, Toledo Edison chose to report the condition upon their arrival. An Interim Report was issued on February 20, 1976.
In the future, Toledo Edison will verbally notify the NRC-Region III of any significant condition within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> af ter Toledo Edison has determined that the condition requires reporting.
In addition, written instructions will be issued to Toledo Edison Quality Assurance personnel requiring the review of nonconformance f-~x reports against the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.55(e).
It is anticipated
(
) these instructions will be issued prior to April 18, 1976.

'[V ) Item B - Deficiency
" Contrary to 10 CFR, Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVII, neither qualification nor training records were available to verify that certain perconnel had received indoctrination, training, and/or other qualifying experience to proficiently perform specific quality control functions relative to installation of safety equipment."
All Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) Davis-Besse Quality Assurance personnel records, including experience, training, and qualification records are now located at the site in the JCI QA Representative's files and are available for inspection.
The JCI QA Representative will maintain and file records of all new Quality Engineer and QC Inprocess Inspector employees at the JCI site QA office.
As areas are identified where additional training is necessary, JCI will, as in the past, conduct, document, and implement JCI training sessions.
Deviation The deviation was identified relative to Toledo Edison's position regarding the adequacy of electrical wireway as a fire barrier installation.
4ar "m-('~'S oledo Edison will install fire barriers of a rigid thermal insulating T
i f material or short sections of solid metal tray covers, where the physical proximity is less than minimum separation distance. This amplifies the agreement with the NRC Licensing Staff during their site visit of October 15-16, 1975.
Areas involved include the following:
1.
Between wireways of redundant essential channels.
2.
Between wireways and trays of redundant essential channels.
3.
Between wireways or trays of essential channels and wireways or trays of non-essential channels.
If you have any questions concerning our reply or desire further discussion on these matters, we will be glad to meet with you at your convenience.
Your
- truly,
