Appendix NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket No. 50-373 As a result of the inspection conducted on February 8-26 and March 1-12, 1982, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1980), the following violations were identified:

1.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion II, requires in part, that activi-ties affecting quality be accomplished under suitable controlled conditions, such as adequate cleanliness.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII requires, in part, that measures be established to control the storage and preservation of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions to prevent damage or deterioration.

The Quality Assurance Program, Quality Requirement QR2.0, contains a Commonwealth Edison Company commitment to the regulatory positions of Regulatory Guide 1.38, Revision 2, and Regulatory Guide 1.39, Revision 2.

The regulatory positions of Regulatory Guides 1.38, Revision 2 and 1.39, Revision 2, endorses the requirements of ANSI N45.2.2-1972 and N45.2.3-1973 respectively. ANSI N45.2.2-1972, Section 6.2, states, in part, that, " Cleanliness and good housekeeping practices shall be enforced at all times in the storage areas. The storage areas shall be cleaned as required to avoid the accumulation of trash, discarded packaging materials and other detrimental soil:

The use or storage of food, drinks...in any storage area shall not be permitted...

Periodic inspections shall be performed to assure that storage areas are being maintained." Section 6.5 states, in part, that, " Items released from storage and placed in their final locations within the power plant, shall be... cared for in accordance with the requirements of Section 6 of this standard." ANSI N45.2.3-1973 requires in part that control of all tools, equipment, materials and supplies be maintained to prevent the inadvertent inclusion of deleterious materials or objects in critical systems.

Contrary to the above, the inspector noted during a plant tour that:

Paper, cigarette butts and a metal table were found inside the a.

125V and 250V Battery Rooms in the 710 elevation.

b.

Oil soak rags, paper, glass jars and pop cans were found in the 1A, 1B, and 0 Emergency Diesel Generator Rooms including the inside of the energized cabinets.

G

P l

0 Appendix 2

c.

An open paint can was found in emergency diesel generator cable tray 156A1GP.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement II).

2.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIV, requires measures to be estab-lished to indicate the operating status of systems and components, such as by tagging valves, to prevent inadvertent operation.

Commonwealth Edison Company Assurance Manual,14-51B, Item 3C, states in part:

"... attach...out of service cards at al1 isolation points,

~

as required by station procedures, to item (or items) taken out of service."

LaSalle County Station Equipment out of service procedure, LAP-900-4, F.1.f. and construction Instruction No. 1-2-G-1 states the supervisor in charge of the work "has the responsibility to assure that...out of service cards have been placed correctly and that the equipment is safe to work on."

Contrary to the above, on February 17, 1982, the RHR Shutdown Cooling Outboard Isolation Valve 1E12-F008 was disassembled with that section of the system not properly tagged out.

This resulted in the discharge of approximately 5,000 gallons of reactor water into the Reactor Building.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement II).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this of fice within thirty days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each item of noncompliance:

(1) cor-rective action taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid further noncompliance; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Under the authority of Section 182 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation. Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
