wood and other flannable materials within the reactor containment unless the wood has been treated with a flame retardant.

Contrary to the above:

On September 7,1978, it was observed: that temporary covers installed on two fan / cooler units stored within the contain-ment structure, were fabricated from plywood and plastic sheeting not identified as flame retardant.

Subsequent dis-cussions with LP&L and Ebasco personnel could not confirm that the temporary covers were flame retardant.

2.

It was also observed on September 7,1978, that wooden plank-ing, being utilized as temporary scaffolding by American Bridge within the containment, was not identified as flame retardant wood.

Licensee and contractor investigation confirmed that

(

the planking was not treated for fire retardancy.

This is an infraction.
