Dear Mr. Heishman:
This is in response to your letter of June 17, 1981 which forwarded IE Inspection Report Number 50-461/81-08 and Notice of Violation.
Illinois Power Company's response for the item of noncompliance cited is as follows:
The Notice of Violation states in part:
" Contrary to the above, the following numerous examples were observed over a lengthy period of time inside and outside the Power Block Buildings:
- 1) Improper storage of pipe, structural and electrical material.
Items were in contact with mud, water and trash, and pipe was without protective caps and open to the elements.
- 2) Improper segregation of safety and nonsafety-related material.
Failure to segregate and mark scrap material.
Safety storage area include.d unmarked (unidentified) material.
- 3) Improper weatherproofing of the RHR Heat Exchanger insulation.
i
- 4) Improper housecleaning.
Combustible scrap and rubbish was allowed to accumulate in areas in the Power Block."
The specific examples identified in the inspection report have been corrected.
The basic problem areas identified in the notice of violation and the inspection report can be sammarized and categorized as housekeeping deficiencies.
Corrective measures to prevent recurrence of these types of deficiencies provide a real challenge since every employee on tb site is responsible for housekeeping.

Mr. R.F. Heishman July 17, 1981 NRC Page 2 storage, and segregation of material have been evaluated and deemed adequate.
The problem appears to be in the area of compliance to those procedures and the following steps are being taken to ensure a higher level of compliance than experienced in the past.
1.
Training - The subject of housekeeping is being given added emphasis by including instruction in housekeeping requirements in other training programs.
2.
Surveillance Followup - Improvements are being made to ensure followup and corrective action on housekeeping, storage and segregation deficiencies identified by Baldwin Associates Quality and Technical Services, Illinois Power Quality Assurance and others.
One engineer working out of the BA Project Engineer's office has been assigned full time to compliance cuordination.
Part of the compliance coordinator's responsibilities is to followup on these types of deficiencies and report on effectivenss of corrective action taken.
3.
Housekeeping Facilities - Better facilities are being provided to encourage good housekeeping habits.
Additional trash and/or scrap barrels and dumpsters are being provided in and around the Power Block.
The measures described above have been instituted and will be of a continuing nature to ensure full compliance.
I trust that our response is satisfactory to allow close-out of this item.
I hereby affirm that the information contained in this letter is correct to the best of my knowledge.
Sincerely,
