RESPONSE
Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved:
At the time of this inspection, the subject equipment status was classified as "in place storage". As such, it was under the jurisdiction of the "reventative Maintenance Department.
Previous to this inspection, the operator's lubrication had been changed under GT-M-102 as part of a plant-wide standardization of lubricants. Addit ionally, the operators were checked for general workmanship conditions, and the results rec orded.
Subsequent to the operator lubrication and general workmanship check, the limit switch should have been resealed per GT-M-102; however, the resealing was not accomplished. This rework is performed under the control of the Preventative Maintenance Department with UE&C Quality Assurance participation.
To prevent a recurrence, area engineers have been reindoctrinated regarding in place storage requirements and the importance of the need to be observant of preventative maintenance requirements as part of their daily activities.
The reindoctrination was completed by June 10, 1983.
The licensee wishes to clarify that items categorized as "in place storage" are controlled by the Preventative Maintenance Department and, as such, are subjected to periodic, scheduled maintenance checks. UE&C QA personnel participated in these ace.ivities.
