Reference 3 presented questions regarding incorporation of ANSI equipment storage requirements into Contractor procedures. Answers provided herein will attempt to clarify the actions taken at the WNP-3/5 site.

1.

As indicated in IE Inspection Report No. 50-508, 509/80-10 which accompanied the subject Notice of Violation, site records showed that the charging pump storage requirements detailed by Peter Kiewit Sons' procedure were being met.

However, this procedure failed to establish adequate measures to maintain final location storage conditions within the standards invoked by the contract specifications; namely the ANSI N45.2.2-1972 standard. What specific actions have adequately incorporated the specific storage requirements of ANSI N45.2.2-1972?

Storage conditions specified by the Charging Pump Manufacturer can be met by conformance with ANSI N45.2.2-1972 Level L.

Motor storage re-quires the additional controls of energized Strip Heaters and a pro-tective cover with an internal heat sourr.e.

Washington Public Power Supply System Mr. B. H. Faulkenberry March 13,1981 Page 2 G03-81-746 Engineering assessment of the Charging Pump Rooms, has determined the manufacturer's storage requirements can be met without imposing Level B ANSI requirements. Consequently, the Engineer will initiate a Field Change Request (FCR) which aligns the Contract with actual manufacturer storage recommendations.

These storage requirements are applicable only to the pump pedestal upon which the Charging Pump and motor are stored.

Peter Kiewit Sons' Co. will be directed to incorporate these specific re-quirt.ments into their Care and Maintenance Instructions.

The date of full compliance for these actions will be implemented by April 15, 1981.

2. What specific actions have been taken, or will be taken, to ensure that other contractors responsible for the storage and maintenance of Quality Class I equipment have procedures which incorporate the requirements of industry standards invoked by the contract specification?

Contracts, other than 3240-251, which require care and maintenance of Quality Class I equipment are 225/253 and 232. The 225/253 Contractor's quality assurance program specifies, in accordance with contract require-ments, procedures which govern the preparation and implementation of Care and Maintenance Instructions (CMI's). Contract requirements specify re-ferencing manufacturer's recommendations for storage and maintenance, Engineer's CMI's are reviewed and approved by the Engineer to ensure that these requirements are incorporated in the CMI's, The 232 contractor has comitted (letter 232WP-81-012 dated January 29, 1981) to utilize a proce-dure governing the preparation of CMI's. This procedure, 3240-232-100

(" Preparation of Care and Maintenance Instructions") is expected to be implemented by May 1,1981 pending review and approval by the Engineer as described above.
