Docket No. STN 50-482 Subj: Response to Inspection Report STN 50-482/83-04
Dear Mr. Seidle:
This letter is written in response to your letter of March 25, 1983, which transmitted Inspection Report STN 50-482/83-04. As requested, the violation identified in the Inspection Report is being addressed in three parts:
a) The corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; b) Corrective steps which vill be taken to avoid further violations; and c) The date when full compliance will be achieved.
Violation: Failure to Prescribe Activities Affecting Quality by Procedure Finding:
10CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by instructions, procedures and drawings, and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures or drawings.
Contrary to the above, activities af fecting quality were not pre-scribed by instructions or procedures in that there were no instructions or procedures for maintenance of installed components for cleanliness or environmental controls. This was ill"strated on January 31, 1983, by the observation by an NRC inspector of an open l

manhole cover on the volume control tank. An inactive argon-purge line was also observed running into the tank.
Response
a) Corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved:
'Ihe volume. control tank was cleaned and the openings were covered. Procedure WP-VI-200_has been revised to clearly define requirements for access to, maintaining cleanliness of, and closing openings of vessels and equipment'which have been opened. These actions restored the tank to the required state of cleanliness and established and/or clarified procedural controls.for cleanliness of installed components during maintenance or construction.
Eb) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations:
The'cause of the identified discrepancy was the lack of clearly defined requirements.for maintaining cleanliness of vessels and equipment internals when opened for internal work. Therefore the revisions to Procedure WP-VI-200 as described in a) above were incorporated to prevent recurrence.
c) Date when full compliance will be achieved:
Full compliance was achieved on Apri] 14, 1983.
Supporting documentation for the response provided above is available for review at the itilf Creek job site. If you have any further questions con-cerning this response, please contact me or Mr. Otto Maynard of my staff.
