CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO US NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION, REGION III INSPECTION' REPORT NO. 50-329/84-03 (OSC) & 50-330/84-03 (OSC)
' Appendix (Notice of Violation) to Inspection Report No. 50-329/84-03 (OSC) and 50-330/84-03 (OSC) provides an item of noncompliance to 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
The NRC statement.and our response are given below:
NRC STATEMENT "10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V states, in part, " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or draw-ings, or a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings."
Bechtel Specifications for Installation, Inspection and Documentation of ASME Section III Pipe Supports, Hangers, and Restraints for Piping in a Nuclear
. Power Plant,-Specification No. 7220-M-326 (Q) states, in part, "After instal-lation, the snubber assembly shall be protected from phycical damage due to normal construction activities by providing wooden, heavy cloth, or other similar suitable protective covers.
' Contrary to the above, four.of the mechanical snubbers installed in Unit 2 Containment south D ring and adjacent areas were not protected from physical damage due to normal construction activities by providing the required protec-tive covers.
- This.is a Severity Level'IV violation (Supplement II)."
CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY RESPONSE In accordance with this Notice of Violation, an explanation of corrective action is as follows:
1)
Corrective Action Taken and the Results Achieved A complete reinspection of all Q mechanical snubbers was concluded on February 3, 1984. Any snubbers found uncovered were approp-riately covered. No physical damage was noted.
2)
Corrective Action To Be Taken To Avoid Further Noncompliance
= Corrective action taken on systems in Construction Status (Non Turned Over) is as follows:
A.-
B&W Construction Company FCP No. 800 has been revised to reflect a maximum period of 60 days between documented inspec-tions of each mechanical snubber.

- e B.
Bechtel. Maintenance _Information Form F-10-359 (Mechanical
~
-Snubbers) has been-revised to reflect'a 100% documented inspec-tion of all Q mechanical snubbers within a 60-day period.
C.
In addition, a periodic documented check will be established to
' assure that any snubber deficiencies;are identified-and correc-
- ted during-the 60-day inspection interval. Unlike the 60-day inspection, the periodic check will be based on a two' week cycle, will exclude Unit'1. and will be conducted on an area basis only checking those-snubbers which are accessible. This di two week periodic check will be fully operational by April 15

-D.
A' tag'is being attached to each installed Q mechanical snubber r
.with appropriate wording noting that if the wrapping around the snubber must be removed, then it must be' reinstalled after completion of,the work. Tagging wil1~be completed by April 15, 1984.-
1E.
Bechtel has issued a Quality Bulletin to all site personnel
'(inctuding B&WCC) stating that anyone who finds a snubber
--uncovered should report this situation to management. Also, Bechtel has. reissued memorandums'to.Bechtel' staff personnel reiterating this position.
3)
Full' Compliance Wil1 Be Achieved As Follows:
~
-All'of the actions noted-in 2)labove are being implemented. This
.60-day 100% inspection; coupled with the two week periodic check of all' areas should precludeLfurther noncompliance. Additionally, the
' CPCo ' Testing Department-wi11' continue the necessary inspection /sur-4
'veillance program'on Q mechanical snubbers beyond the system turn-over_date.
In' fact, these. snubbers will be covered and' protected up until:the.timetof Functional-Testing.and.then reprotected until i
system operation.
