Amendment to Response on Noncompliance at Enrico Fermi Unit 2 - IE Report 50-341/83-15

Dear Mr. Knop:

This letter amends the previous response to the item of noncompli-ance described in your IE Report No. 50-341/83-15. This inspection of Enrico Fermi Unit 2 construction site activities was performed by Messrs. B.H. Little, P.M. Byron, and M.E. Parker on May 1 through June 30, 1983.

The item of noncompliance is discussed in this reply as required by Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice",.Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.

The enclosed amended response is arranged to correspond to the sequence of items cited in the body of your report. The number for the item of noncompliance and the applicable criterion is refer-enced.

We trust this letter satisfactorily answers the concern raised in your report. If you have questions, please contact Mr. G.M. Trahey, Assistant Director - Project Quality Assurance.

Very truly yours, OkOO f

4 s, Amended Response to NRC Inspection Report No. 50-341/83-15 (83-15-01) SjatementofNoncompliance, 83-15-01 ~ ' Measures shall 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion VIII' states in part, ~ be established for the identification and control of materials, parts, and components... -These identification and control measures shall be designed to prevent the use of incorrect or defective material, parts.and components". DECO Quality Assurance Procedure 8.0.1 states, " Written procedures 'shall be implemented for identification and control of material, parts and components,to assure use or installation of correct and accepted items only". Contrary to the above, on June 6 and 8, 1983, the inspectors observed unidentified power cable, Division I and II cables, and small bore and instrument tubing containing valves lying on floors in the High : Pressure Coolant Injection and Core Spray Pump areas. The inspectors also observed, on June 17, 1983, an unmarked Divi-sion II cable lying on the ground outside of the QA Level I storage area between the Reactor Building and the RHR complex. This is a Severity Level V violation. Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved Project-Management has initiated two (2) project procedures; PPM 7.9 " Disassembling and Reassembling of Permanent Plant Components", n - and PPM 7.38, " Storage and Handling of Materials During Construction". Both procedures describe the requirements for component identification and storage / control of materials. The procedures also establish re-sponsible positions for the control and identification of material. A meeting was conducted by Project Management to discuss procedure compliance with supervisors and contractors. Action taken has been to remind all site contractors of their re-sponsibility in correcting the situation as stated in Inspection Report 50-341/83-15, Paragraph 9. Designated scrap containers have been placed at various locations on the site. A revision to pro- "QA L vel I materials -cedure PPM 7.38 has been initiated to state: e which are found without any identification tags and which trace-ability cannot be established,'shall be tagged either QA Level II, III or scrapped. Scrap materials shall be removed from the work area". The implementation of the aforementioned requirement specifies what must be done with materials like those identified in the in-plant inspections of June 6 and 8, 1983. The results achieved have and will continue to improve our site housekeeping. -= g =-- e w-,- e w --y --r-- 5 m
