Exception I

Subsection 5.2.3 - Special Inspection The Yankee operating plants take exception to attaching special inspection procedures to the item or container.

Alternative Special inspection procedures shall be readily available to personnel perf orming inspections.

Justification Procedures are subject to less abuse and nore stringent controls when maintained on file and not attached to the item.

Inspection status is maintained by tagging and procedure control.

I, F.

Exception Subsection 6.1.2 - Levels of Storage The Yankee operating plants take exception to two specific requirenent s l

associated with fuel storage (classified level A).

Alternative The Yankee operating plants shall meet the requirements of level A storage for new fuel with the exception of special air filtering: and temperature and humidity controls.

Justification The existing storage conditions at the Yankee operating plants are consistent with the protection provided to the fuel while in storage at the manufacturer (vendor) and/or while in transit to the plant site and are judged to provide adequate protection to the fuel assembly structure which is of highly corrosion resistant materials. We believe I

the above listed requirements are intended for application at that the manuf acturing f acility (vendor) where the uraniun pellets may be exposed to the atmosphere and not in its fully encapsulated, and therefore, f ully protected form in a completed f uel assembly.

Alternative Non-metallic plugs and caps shall be of a contrasting color.

Justification The purpose of utilizing brightly colored plugs and caps is to assist in assuring obstructions are not inadvertently placed in operating components or systems. By using plugs and caps of a contrasting color i

this objective can be achieved.

The Yankee operating plants take exception to the requirement that container markings shall appear on a minimun of two sides.

Justification Containers are tagged to provide identification and inspection status.

Empl oyment of two tags on small containers adds bulk and confusion and does not provide for better identification or traceability.
