(2) The neutron detector positioning device assembly was stored outdoors (Level D) although the manufacturer recommended indoor (Level C) for

storage, b.

Improper / inadequate maintenance of material; (1) several steam generator maintenance records and actual pressure readings were below the minimum and above the maximum recommended by the Nuclear Steam System supplier.

(2) The neutron detector positioning device assembly requires periodic maintenance at receipt and yearly thereafter by the manufacturer. This assembly has been on-site for over eighteen (18) months; however, no maintenance has been performed.

The following actions relative to implementing the program have been performed:

i

a. PSI has conducted a review of the PSI purchased Category I equipment and material on-site with respect to proper storage

~

and material maintenance criteria. As a result of this review, cont ract ors were formally issued storage, handling and t

maintenance instructions on March 24, 1980 for on-site PSI purchased Category I equipment and material.

These inst ructions include appropriate criteria for storage and maintenance, and provide the basis for Quality Assurance Surveillance Checklists.

Project Management Procedure 6.03, " Storage, Handling and Maintenance of PSI Stored Material" has been issued and provides the instructions to insure that proper storsge and maintenance criteria are prepared and transmitted to the contractor as new equipment and material arrives at the site.

b. Project Management Procedures 6.02, " Receiving of PSI-Purchased Material" and 6.03, " Storage, Handling and Maintenance of PSI Stored Material" were issued on February 27, 1980 and March 3, 1980 respectively. These procedures define PSI Material i

Management's responsibility in support of the Marble Hill I

const ruction ef fort.

c. A program is being established with the contractors having responsibility to store and maintain PSI purchased equipment and material to insure the following:

(1) An appropriate interface and dialogue exist between the contractors and PSI concerning Material Management matters.

(2) Proper surveillance is being performed by the contractors.

4 (3) Proper and expedient action is taken to identify and "close-i out" open items identified as a result of a surveillance.

d. Contractors are being instructed to perform weekly surveillance of their laydown and warehouse areas, and submit a weekly report to PSI.

This report serves as the agenda for weekly meetings between the appropriate contractor and PSI to discuss Material Management matters.

Initial meetings explaining the program have been completed with the three major contractors, (civil, mechanical and electrical) and the program is in place.

Initial meetings for the remaining contractors (NSSS Erector, HVAC) are planned for the week of March 30, 1980.
