Gentlemen:

Violation:
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, " Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," states, in part, that
" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures,'or drawings.... and shall be accomplished in necordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings."
Administrative procedure DB-MN-00005, Foreign Material Exclusion (FME), defines an exclusion zone 3 as an area requiring access control over personnel and materials.

Acceptance or Denial of the Alleged Violation

Toledo? Edison accepts-the alleged violation'.=
P' Reason for the Violation ce r
In addition to this violation, other instances-of-I inadequate.FME control forithe spent fuel poolLand refueling canal have~been'recently identified.
Inspection Report 94006 dated August 2,.1994,:identifie'd
~
inadequate.FME control for.the spent fuel pool, area as part:
of a violation regarding'several proceduralLadherenceL issues. A portion'of the FME access barrier had been.
removed and the material accountability log was not' l
accurately maintained. Toledo Edison l responded.to this. '
i violation by letter dated September'1, 1994 (Serial Number, 1-1050)._
~ '
On November 9, 1994, Potenti'al Condition Adverse to Quality Report (PCA0R).94-1176 was initiated,to document two
' discrepancies' identified during the review:of.,the Ninth Refueling Outage refueling canal material accountability-Li log. The log was not accurately' maintained.in'that two items logged into the FME area 1 vere not logged out; The j
material accountability log was subsequently reconciled for thase specific items as part of the initial assessment of.
PC40R 94-1176.
o The apparent cause of this violation and the additional.
instances of inadequate FME control discussed above is j!
insufficient overall ownership'andLindividual accountability for:FME' control in the spent fuel pool and refueling canal areas. The importance of FME control, overall responsibility for its implementation, and program i
expectations were not adequately emphasized by management
.l and accepted by responsible organizations and individuals.

- Corrective Actions'TakenJand'Results-Achieved
~0n 0ctobe'r ll', 1994,-folloving identification'of'the s
' refueling' canal FME controluissuef appropriate actions were-f completed.to re-establish' adequate FME^ control in"the area.-
The FME boundary was:moreTclearly~ defined,'.the material-
^
4 aecountability log was reconciled..'and'an individual was?
assigned. full-time;1og keeping.and' access control'
. responsibilities,for the refueling canal FME area.
In addition, management clearly defined theforganizations; fi with overall responsibility for FME control; ;0verall:
responsibility.for-FME control'was assigned:to Radiation ~,
Protection inside containment and to,0perations outsiden containment.
Corrective Actions to Prevent Recurrence?
Frocedure DB-MN-00005 vill be revised as'follovss; 1
- Overall responsibility.for FME control will;be ass'igned to Radiation' Protection-inside containment,and to.
Operations outside containment.
- An individual vill be required full. time to maintain;the b
material. accountability log and access. control to the o
+
refueling canal FME area'.'
In addition, DB-MN-00005 and DB-OP-06904, Shutdown..
Operations, vill be revised to require a-review of the j
refueling canal material accountability log' prior to key-events in:the refueling process such as reactor. head
' n ;
installation and fill / drain of the refueling canal.
The procedure changes' described above vill be completed by-9 March 31, 1995. Additional program enhancements >may be made if'varranted to' simplify implementation of the FME.-
,i program,.thereby improving its acceptance.'
