- 50-327/83-12 AND 50-328/83-12 D. M. VERRELLI'S LETTER TO H. G. PARRIS DATED JULY 25, 1983 item 327.328/83-12-01 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria XIII requires that measures shall be established to control the handling, storage, shipping, cleaning and preservation of material and equipment to prevent damage or deterioration.
' The licensse's approved QA program, Topical Report TVA-TR75-1 requires that pipe be. stored in accordanae with ANSI 45.2.2 (1973) which requires that the ends be capped or sealed.
4-Contrary to the abovs, measures to prevent damage or deterioration of pipe were not implemented in that on June 23, 1983 the inspector noted numerous pieces of QA stainless steel pipe in the licensee's storage yard near Huts 2 and 3 and in the Construction Warehouse pipe shed that did not have the ends properly capped or sealed. The pipe near Huts 2 and 3 was maintained by the Construction Warehouse.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I). This violation applies to both units.
1.
Admission or Dienial of the Alleged Violation TVA admits the violation occurred as stated.
2.
Reasons for the Violation if Admitted The stainless steel pipe storage problems were a result of a. lack of manpower to maintain the equipment properly and failure of personnel to realize the significance of the storage requirements.
3 Corrective Steps Which Have Benn Taken and the Results Achieved j
For the etainless steel pipe in the storage yard, a special task force inspected all stainless steel pipe on June 25 and 26,1983, to ensure 4
compliance with AI-11 and ANSI-45.2.2 (1972). All piping was corrected and verified to be capped or sealed to prevent damage or deterioration. In addition, a section instruction leLLee was wellten for fcwer Stores personnel emphasizing each employee's responsibility to make rure that the storage of stainless steel pipe or tubing complies with AI-1i.
i For the stainlese steel pipe in the Construction Warehouse, immediate corrective action was taken by the CONST Materials Inspection Group to have warehouse personnel seal the ends of all stainless steel piping in the storage shed. A final inspection was conducted on July 25, 1983 to ensure that all CONST stainless steel piping was properly stored after the excess pipe was removed. The stainless steel piping is presently stored according 3
to SQN Construction Procedure No. P-12, and all ends are sealed. The significance of the storage requirements was emphasized to warehouse personnel.
