The Notice of Violation states in part:

A walkdown/ clean up effort is being undertaken to bring all areas into compliance.
The specific areas noted have been completed.
II.
Corrective Action to be Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance 1.
Baldwin Associates procedure BAP-2.7, Housekeeping, will be revised to add "no drinking" requirements to level IV cleanliness requirements.

e ATTACHMENT B Illinois Power Company Clinton Power Station Docket No. 50-461
Subject:
Records for Safety Related Material The Notice of Violation states in part:
the licensee failed to establish effective measures to ensure that vendor documentation was complete and acceptable as evidenced by the lack of a date on 5 Certificates of Conformance... and the lack of a signature on a Brazing / Heat Treat Verification Report in the same package.
I.
Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved Illinois Power Company has performed an evaluation of the data package with the following results:
Procurement of these valves required the manufacturer to provide certification, in the form of a NPV-1 Data Report, that the purchased items comply with the ASME Code Section III and applicable addenda.
In addition to providing the NPV-1 Data Report, Yarway elected to provide additional, though not required, supporting information in the form of Certificates of Conformance and a Brazing / Heat Treatment Verification Report.
These supporting documents do not require review in that, the NPV-1 Data Report is sufficient to assure all ASME Code Section III requirements are completed.
The Illinois Power Company document verification program does review the NPV-1 Data Report and has found this NPV-1 Data Report to be acceptable.
II. ' Corrective Action to be Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance No further corrective action necessary.
III. Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved Illinois Power Company is in full compliance.
