Findine l
Cn June 6,1980, a specific ene designation (Zene I, II or III), in ce=pliance with A';SI N45.2.3 and associated cleanliness requirements ce=-
mensurate with the current constructicn setivities, had not been assigned or i=plemented by the constraction =anager for the reactor refueling cavity in the Containment Building. The refueling cavity was open for work en the installed reactor vessel during the morning of June 6, 1980.
he reac*ar internals are also stored in the rear':cr refueling cavity.
Resocnse a)
At the present time the reacter vessel is e=pty; that is, the internals have not yet been installed. They are covered and
e Mr. W.C. Seidle KMLNRC-014 July 22, 1980 stored in the refueling cavity. Therefore, all parts of the primary system are still accessible.rnd the material accounta-bility required by ANSI N45.2.3 Zone III is not yet needed.
However, control of personnel entering the cavity and the pro-hibition against the entrance of food or tobacco as required by Zone III is appropriate. Accordingly, the area has been desig-nated Zone IV with an additional provision for controlling personnel access.
A security guard has been stationed at the entrance to the cavity so as to allow only persons whose name appears on the authorized entry list to enter the cavity.
- When the guard is not present the entrance is locked.
b.
To clearly establish the above controls, which are in force, procedure AP-XIII-05 " Project Housekeeping" is being revised, c.
Procedure AP-XIII-05 will be revised and issued by August 15, 1980.
Please advise if you need additional information.
Yours very truly,
