Dear Mr. Keppler:
This letter is in response to the NRC Inspection Report Number 82-14 dated November 22, 1982. That report identified one item of noncompliance in which PSI was cited for tailure to assure fully that the responsible contractor implemented the preservation program for materials and equipment, and directed Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc. (PSI) to address the resulting Notice of Violation set out in the appendix of the Inspection Report. The following addresses the noncompliance identified in the Notice of Violation as requested by the Inspection Report.
Violation - 10CFR50, Appendix B Criterion XIII Description of Violation 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII, Handling, Storage, and Shipping, states:
" Measures shall be established to control the handling, storage, shipping, cleaning, and preservation of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions to prevent damage or deterioration."
l In addition, Public Service of Indiana's Marble Hill PSAR Chapter 17, dated April 19, 1980, Section 1.13, stated in part:
" PSI had delegated responsibility for specifying handling, storage, shipping, i
cleaning, and preservation of material and equipment requirements to its principal contractors and contractors." Cherne Contracting Company's Procedure 12.5, General Requirements for Fabrication and Installation of Safety Related Components, implements these requirements.
