Item 327. 326/S3-12-01 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria XIII requires that msasures shall be established to control the handling, storage, shipping, cleaning and preservation of material and equipment to prevent damage or deteriora-tion. The licensee's up, proved QA program, Topical Report TVA-TR75-1

'[

requires that pipe be stored la accordance with ANSI 45.2.2 (1972) which requires that the ends be capped or sealed, h

Contrary to the above, 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 i

did not have the ends properly capped or sealed. The pipe near Huta 2 q

and 3 was maintained by the Construction Warehouse.

This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).

This violation applies to both Units.
