to Technical Specification 6.5. Procedure AP 0020 requires, in part, that evaluations of  ;

temporary modifications to plant equipment be evaluated. Procedure AP 6024 requires, in part, that good housekeeping practices be maintained.

Contrary to the above, during July 22-23,1993, alternate shutdown panel, CP-82-1, was modified by the addition of a plexiglass panel that prevented operation of equipment  !

controls. No evaluation of this condition was performed. Additionally, on July 27, ,

1993, good housekeeping practices did not exist in the "B" emergency core cooling q system corner room of the reactor building in that materials were placed on the residual heat removal pump motor and piping, as well as debris on the floor near sump pumps.
