SUBJECT:
Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No. 2 Docket No. 50-412 USNRC IE Inspection Report No. 50-412/82-08 Gentlemen:
This is in response to the Item of Violation cited in Inspection Report #50-412/82-08 and listed in Appendix A (Notice of Violation) attached to your letter to Mr. E. J. Woolever, dated August 18, 1982.
NRC VIOLATION (82-08-01) 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII requires that measures be established to control the storage and preservation of equipment. The BVPS-2 PSAR states that the Quality Assurance Program utilizes the guidance of WASH 1309, Guidance on Quality Assurance Requirements During the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants. ANSI N45.2.2, endorsed via Regulatory Guide 1.38 and WASH 1309, requires instrumentation equipment to be provided Level B storage conditions (as defined therein) and requires measures be established to protect the equipment from the ef fects of airborne contamination.
BVPS-2 Specification 2BVS-981, Requirements During Storage, assigns Level B storage conditions to instrument and control cabinets and requires measures be implemented for equipment protection from physical damage and airborne contamination. Field Construction Procedure FCP-11 requires that permanent plant equipment, internal components, wiring and cables be protected from welding sparks, grinding chips, etc. when working on or around such equipment.
Contrary to the above, on July 20, 1982, the Reactor Protection System Cabinets, Rod Position Indication Cabinets, and Main Control Bench Boards, located in Level B storage areas, were not protected from airborne contamination. Filters / covers protecting the cabinets had been removed to support cable pulling and protective measures were not applied during grinding activity near the panels.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation.

RESPONSE
Beaver Valley Power Station Unit 2 (BVPS-2) management reviewed current airborne contamination controls and determined that no new written procedures were needed to rectify the protective measures cited in the infraction. Field Construction Procedure-11 specifies adequate procedures and methods to prevent airborne contamination during site construction activities. However, an apparent lack of complete compliance toward required procedures was exhibited by construction craft personnel in this instance.
Accordingly, all contractors now active on the BVPS-2 site were directed to take effective steps to ensure that all crafts people are fully aware of these requirements and to strongly impress on each worker the necessity for protecting any permanent ' equipment in the work area.
The electrical contractor, which was the organization directly involved in the infraction, has given remedial training on airborne contamination procedures to all their craft personnel. In this instructional session, the use of vacuums, shields, and barriers were also illustrated as prescribed by the construction procedures. Attendance documentation of-the aforementioned remedial training given to BVPS-2 craft personnel is on file and available for inspection.
This action, supplemented with continuing, emphasis on the BVPS-2 program for maintenance and protection of equipment, is expected to prevent any future recurrence of this situation. In addition, the equipment is given a thorough final cleaning and inspection at the time of release of equip-ment by Construction to the Start-up Group. This will ensure removal of residual dirt or any contaminants which may have escaped detection during the construction phase.
