Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: REPORT N05. 50-369/85-05 AND 50-370/85-05
Thank you for your response of April 11, 1985, to our Notice of Violation issued
on March 12, 1985, concerning activities conducted at your McGuire facility under
,
NRC Operating License Nos. NPF-9 and NPF-17. We have evaluated your response and
'found that it meets the requirements of 10 CFR 2.201.
,
In. addition, we have evaluated your response and disagree with your position
.
concerning the removal of combustible agents from a control access area' for
reasons stated below.
.
Your, response describes the cleanliness requirements for Level IV Housekeeping
!
and the actions required to assure implementation of. the requirements.
In
addition, your response states that the presence of two cans of penetrant
materials in a Level IV Housekeeping area _in which work was being performed does .
not violate these requirements in that they did not constitute an accumulation of
waste material, but rather were supplies used to do work in'the area.
.
We wish to reiterate that the violation was identified because the items found
contained combustible agents which could pose a hazard to safety-related
!
equipment and/or systems.
The cans were apparently left behind when the liquid
penetrant examination on the Inservice Inspection welds was completed.
Also, we disagree with your position that it was acceptable to leave these cans
!-
behind until the total scope of the work was completed in the area since this
could be interpreted to mean the length of an outage.
In this instance we would
consider this as failure to maintain control cf materials, which suggests a
disregard for measures established to assure that only correct materials are used
'
[
.on safety-related parts or components.
Finally, the locations where the cans were found, on a cable tray.and on top of
structural steel, make it Lighly unlikely that they would have been detected
during a housekeeping inspection.
