A.
Failure to Comply with Separation Criteria for Safe Shutdown SystemsSection III.G.2 of Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50 states, in part, "Where cables or equipment.
. of redundant trains of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions are located within the same fire area outside of primary containment, one of the following means of ensuring that one of the redundant trains is free of fire damage shall be provided:
1.
Separation of cables,,, of redundant trains by a fire barrier having a 3-hour rating.
2.
Separation of cables... of redundant trains by a horizontal distance of more than P.0 feet with no intervening combustible or fire hazard.
,, or 3.
Enclose the cable..
of one redundant train in a fire barrier having a 1-hour rating."
Contrary to the above, the installation of Inverters B, C, and D (redundant trains) failed to comply with the above requirements in that:
1.
The cables were not separated by a 3-hour fire barrier.
2.
The distance between the cables was less than 20 feet.

y u Section 3.3.5 of Procedure S0-G-6, " Housekeeping," states, in part, "HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters are sources of airborne activity when ignited. These materials shall be transferred immediately to closed containers when removed from inservice use."
Contrary to the-above, on February 17, 1990, the licensee failed to place contaminated HEPA filters, removed from inservice use, immediately into closed containers in that 40 HEPA filters were stored in Room 69 (a safety-related area) for approximately 4 days in polyethylene bags.
This is a Severity Level IV violation.
(Supplement I) (285/9013-02)
C.
Inadequate Implementation of Corrective Actions Crierion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and Section A.17 of the licensee's NRC-approved quality assurance program (Appendix A to the Updated Safety Analysis Report) require that measures shall be established to assure that nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.
In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall ensure that the cause of-the condition'is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.
Contrary to the above, on March 20 and 21, 1990, the licensee's quality assurance organization identified problems with the control of danger tags and plant management implemented corrective actions.
The corrective actions were inadequate in that, on March 23, 1990, NRC identified similar types of problems with the control of danger tags.
In addition, on March 24 and 25, 1990, the licensee, during a followup review of the identified danger tag control problems, identified four additional instances where danger tags were not being controlled in accordance with licensee requirements, s
This-is a Severity-Level IV violation.
