I Response to NRC Audit Reports O

I 50-395/78-18 dated October 16 l 1978 and 50-395/78-20 dated October 23, 1978 Gentlemen:

In response to the above captioned reports, we have reviewed the infor-mation contained there-in and find that neither contains any proprietary

!: information. In addition, we have evaluated the circumstances relating

' to the item identified as 78-18-01 in report 50-395/78-18, which dealt with scrap construction materials found under wooden decking serving as temporary dunnage inside the empty reactor vessel. Our evaluation has produced the following results:

1. Cause

}

a) Failure of craft and quality control personnel to routinely lift decking material to check for accumulated scrap.

i b) Failure of craft and quality control personnel to adequately implement existing housekeeping procedural requirements.

c) Housekeeping requirements inside the reactor building have been upgraded as the status of the job dictated and personnel did not remain current.

2. Immediate Corrective Steps Taken and Results On September 8, 1978, the Reactor Vessel was cleaned and

.] all personnel working in the Vessel were instructed in the requirements of AP-VIII-03, and cautioned that violations of the procedure would not be tolerated.

3. Corrective Steps Taken to Avoid Future Noncompliance The inside of the Reactor Vessel is designated as Zone IV-

,9 no eating or smoking. A meeting was held with all Discipline

', Managers and the Area Superintendents at which time they were

./ / thoroughly indoctrinated in the requirements of AP-VIII-03 and the

..'-- new zone designation for the Reactor Building. All craft inspectors have been instructed as to the requirements of AP-VIII-03 and the new zone designation for the Reactor Building. The Area Superintendents were given the responsibility for the cleanliness of their respective areas as well as the final authority for the O~ implementation of, and the interpretation of the requirements of AP-VIII-03. The Area Superintender.ts are accountable for the cleanliness of their respective areas. The Reactor Vessel is monitored a minimum of twice daily by the Area Superintendent.

QC Inspectors will weekly make surveillance of the cleanliness of the Reactor Vessel. Records documenting indoctrination efforts are available for your review.

4. Full Compliance Date Except for those items identified as on-going measures, the above actions were complete by October 9, 1978.

We trust that you will find our actions to resolve this item appropriate and satisfactory. Please feel free to contact us if we can provide additional

(})information in relation to this item or the captioned reports.
