.'.. Attachm:nt Page 1 Serial No. 644 RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION ,

INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-338/83-17 AND 50-339/83-17 NRC COMMENT:

"10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion VIII and the accepted QA Program, which commits to ANSI N45.2.2 require that measures shall be established for identification and control of materials. These measures shall assure that identification of the item is maintained."

" Contrary to the above, Category 1 material stored in the construction area of the Technical Support Center was not identified or controlled in a manner that would ensure identification."

"This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement 1), and applies to Units 1 and 2."

RESPONSE

(1) ADMISSION OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION:

This violation is correct as stated. Category 1 seismic conduit supports and unistrut materials staged in the Technical Support Center prior to installation were, in part, missing QC acceptance identification tags.

The rope barricade and CAT-1 signs were not properly placed at the time of inspection.

(2) REASON FOR VIOLATION:

The level of construction activity in the Technical Support Center area necessitated moving the Category 1 staging area periodically resulting in the loss of some tags and the lack of rigidity in the barricade.

(3) CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED:

All materials not needed immediately or unidentifiable were removed, the area cleaned and the barricades stiffened. All non Category 1 materials were removed from the area. QC inspectors were present to verify identification of materials and condition of the area. A discussion of controls required for Category 1 materials took place July 11, 1983 at the weekly safety meeting attended by all craftsmen and supervisors.

(4) CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATIONS:

The controls necessary to provide for maintaining identification and restricting accessibility in areas where Category 1 materials are staged are being identified, in detail, in a Site Operating Procedure presently being generated. This procedure will provide for periodic monitoring of areas by supervisory personnel. This is in addition to the monitoring being provided by QC. It is expected that this procedure will be issued January 1, 1984. In addition, the requirements of Category 1 materials in staging areas will be reviewed quarterly with all craft and supervisory personnel at a weekly safety meeting.

(5) THE DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED:

It is expected that the continuing reviews with all personnel will prevent recurrence. The Site Operating Procedure will be fully implemented by January 31, 1984. ,
