I am responding to a concern that you provided to us on May 7,1991, alleging that compliance with the NEC requirements for spacing and cleanliness is not being met for electrical panels located in the electrical maintenance shop at Millstone Unit 2.
This persor,nel safety issue has no impact on nuclear safety and is thus not within the purview of the NRC. However, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) conducted a personnel safety inspection at Millstone Station on July 11, 1991 during which time they reviewed your concern. They confirmed that the electrical panel work space clearance in question was inadequate and constituted a violation of 10 CFR 1910.303(g)(1)(i). A copy of OSHA's citation on this issue is enclosed as well as NNECO's response to the citation which outhnes the correctise actions taken to resche this concern.
The NRC plans no funher action in this ma:ter.
We appreciate you informing us of your concerns. Should you have any further questions in this ma:ter, please call me collect at CIS) 337-5::5.
Sincerely, r

Hartford, CT 06103 fl 6 [0 fur t'; 2 Re: Citation Resulting From Inspection 100976687. July 11,199
Dear Mr. Stanton:
This letter is in response to a violation noted during the recen referenced above of the Millstone Unit 2 maintenance shop.
T violation was the failure to maintain a working space of more in front of two (2) electric panels.
The violation was abated during the week following the inspection.
The violation was abated by removing an interior insulation retaining plywood-panel.
As a result. adequate work space clearances in excess of the minimum required by 10 CFR 1910.303 (g) 0) (i) Table S-1 were established.
I Please centact me if you have any funher questions on this matter.

Sincerely.
