ENCLOSURE RESPONSE - NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS.
1 50-327/84-10 AND 50-328/84-10 R. C. LEWIS'S LETTER TO H. G. PARRIS DATED MAY 14, 1984 Item 327,328/84-10-01 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria XIII and V require that measures be established to control the storage of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions. This requirement is implemented by the licensee's approved quality assurance program " Operational Quality Assurance Manual" Part III, Section 2.2, paragraph 4.2 and Administrative Instruction AI-36 " Storage, Handling and Shipping of QA Material", which requires that all horizontal 6.6 kV electric motors be stored with the bearing reservoir filled with the proper oil.
Contrary to the above, equipment was not being stored in accordance with instructions in that on March 9 and 12, 1984 the inspector identified six 6.6 kV electric motors that were being stored in the Power Stores modification warehouse with the bearing reservoirs dry.
This is a Severity Level IV Viclation (Supplement I).
This violation applies to Units 1 and 2.
1.
Admission or Denial of the Alleged Viclation TVA admits the violation occurred as stated.
2.
Reasons for the Violation if Admitted When the subject pump motors were received in April 1983, adequate procedures for preparing the motors for storage did not exist. Upon delivery of the motors, storerces personnel contacted maintenance personnel to prepare the motors for long-term storage. Maintenance personnel unblocked the shafts, connected the heaters, and performed other routine preventito raintenance but did not fill the bearing reservoir with oil. Since procedures did not adequately address the special requirements, both storeroom and maintenance personnel failed to recognize the omission of filling the oil reservoirs.
In December 1983, Sequoyah Administrative Instruction (AI) 36, " Storage, Handling and Shipping of QA Material," was issued which contained the requirements fcr preparing the motors for long-term storage, but no program existed to inspect equipment stored before this time to ensure requirements vere met.

Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken and the Results Achieved All required preventive maintenance for long-term storage was performed on discovery of this condition.
4..
Coerective Steps Which Will Be Taken To Avoid Further Violations AI-36 (issued December 1983) requires that, upon receipt of equipment requiring special preparation for long-term storage, storeroom personnel will contact the responsible plant section to perform the l
work. A checkoff sheet is used to ensure that all storage preventive j
maintenance is performed.
In addition, the equipment will also be entered nnto a preventive maintenance schedule to ensure periodic preventive maintenance is performed and checked within a required i
frequency.
4 5.
Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved I
Full compliance was achieved on March 12, 1984, when oil was added to the motors.
