O Appendix A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Arkansas Power and Light Connany Docket No. 50-313 DPR-51 As a result of the inspection conducted on February 23-25, 1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,1980),
the following violation was identified:
Failure to Provide Suitably Controlled Environmentai Conditions Criterion II of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that activities affecting quality be accomplished under suitably controlled conditions; in addition, Criterion XI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that tests be performed under suitable environmental conditions.
Appendix H, " Access Control," of Engineering Test Procedure No. 1309.09,
" Integrated Leak Rate Test," Revision 0 requires that access to the data acquisition and processing area be restricted during certain ILRT phases.
Contrary to the above:
On February 24, 1981, at 8:30 p.m. and again on February 25, 1981, at 12:30 a.m., the IE inspector observed that the access control to the data acquisition and processing area did not result in suitably con-trolled environmental conditions, in that:
1.
Ongoing installation of firestop material adjacent to the Data Acquisition System (DAS) resulted in a heavy congestion of personnel, pneumatic lines and ladders in an area where construction activities could have damaged equipment being used for the integrated leakage rate test.
2.
Ongoing floor sweeping adjacent to the DAS resulted in the generation of a cloud of dust which degraded the environment of the scanning, measuring and recording equipment and had the potential to affect the reliability of data being obtained during the integrated leakage rate test.
These observations represent activities which did not, in this case, impact the integrated leakage rate test, but which represent a failure to adequately control the access by construction forces into an area where the activities had the potential to adversely imoact the test.
This is a severity Level VI violation (Supplement I, paragraph F).
810429O M
