.s Attachment Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during the period of
. January 1-31, 1985, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C), 49 FR 8583, dated March 8, 1984, the following violation was identified:
VIOLATION Failure to Follow Procedures Technical Specification 5.8.1 requires that " written procedures...
be established, implemented, and maintained that meet or exceed the minimum requirements of Sections 5.1 and 5.3 of ANSI 18.7-1972, and Appendix A of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.33...."
Standing Order G-7 established the Operating Manual and states in Section 1.3 that " adherence to the Operating Manual is mandatory."
Section 4.0 of Standing Order G-22, " Storage of Critical Element and Radioactive Material Packaging, Fire Protection Material, and Cali-brating Equipment," contains the requirements for temporary CQE storage and states in the following paragraphs that:
4.1, "For large items such as panels or cable, the area must be roped off."
4.2, "A sign must be on the rope specifying ' Temporary CQE Storage.' Signs must be obtained from Plant QC after pre-senting a properly filled out Fort Calhoun Temporary CQE Storage Area Approval Form."
4.5, "Only CQE materials shall be stored in any area marked
' Temporary CQE Storage.'"
4.7, "QC will perform a periodic inspection on all Temporary CQE Storage Areas using the Fort Calhoun Temporary CQE Storage Area Approval Form as a guide."
4.8, "After the Fort Calhoun Temporary CQE Storage Area Approval Form is approved by the Supervisor-Maintenance, QC will file it in an appropriate location in the QC office to be used as a log book to keep track of Temporary CQE Storage Areas."
4.9, "After area is no longer required, the group responsible for establishing the area will remove all ropes, signs, etc.,
turn in the signs to QC who will perform a closecut inspection and forward the Fort Calhoun Temporary CQE Approval Form to the Supervisor-Maintenance who will review and dispose of the form."
o VIOLATION (Continued)
Contrary to paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2, on January 18, 1985, the NRC inspec-tor observed that Temporary CQE Storage Area No. 5 was not properly roped off and established. The sign was detached from the rope and laying face down among the pieces of structural steel.
Contrary to paragraph 4.5, on January 18, 1985, the NRC inspector ob-served that the majority of the structural steel identified with Tempor-ary CQE Storage Area No. 5 was not marked as CQE materials.
Contrary to paragraph 4.7, on January 18, 1985, the NRC inspector deter-mined that no periodic inspection had been perfomed by plant QC person-nel on 10 of the 13 Temporary CQE Storage Areas identified as in effect at that time.
Contrary to paragraphs 4.2 and 4.8, on January 18 and 21,1985, the NRC inspector identified two locations marked as Temporary CQE Storage Areas that had not been processed or approved in accordance with this procedure.
Contrary to paragraph 4.9, on January 18, 21 and 22,1985, the NRC in-spector determined that Temporary CQE Storage Areas Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 8 were no longer in effect and that the group responsible for establish-ing the area had not removed "all ropes, signs, etc.
" and turned them in to QC.
The NRC inspector determined that QC had not perfomed "a closecut inspection" and forwarded "the Fort Calhoun Temporary CQE Approval Form to the Supervisor-Maintenance."
This is a Severity Level IV Violation.
(Supplement I.D.3) (285/85-01)
DISTRICT'S RESPONSE (1)
Corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved.
Each of the Temporary CQE Storage Areas has been inspected by plant man-agement and all discrepancies have been eliminated. Additionally, the number of Temporary CQE Storage Areas has been reduced to a more manage-able level. Documented monthly inspections of Temporary CQE Storage Areas are presently being conducted by the Quality Control department.
The inspection requirements contained in Plant Standing Orders for CQE Storage Areas were reviewed with QC personnel. These steps provide a high degree of assurance that the CQE Temporary Storage Areas are being kept in accordance with the Fort Cahoun Station Standing Orders. A letter has also been sent to the various groups involved with Temporary CQE Storage Areas to remind them of the requirements of the Fort Cal-houn Standing Orders and that they share the responsibility of ensuring that Temporary CQE Storage Areas are properly kept.
x DISTRICT'S RESPONSE (Continued)
(2)
Corrective steps which will b'e taken to avoid future violations.
The District has designated a PRC subcommittee to review the storage of CQE materials. This canmittee will review the existing areas, discuss possibilities for providing better CQE storage areas, and make recom-mendations to the Plant Review Canmittee to change the Fort Calhoun Station Standing Orders to improve the overall program and ensure com-pliance with all applicable. requirements and standards.
It is expected this effort will be completed by June 15, 1985.
(3)
The date when full com'pliance will be achieved.
The District is presently in full compliance.
