Attachment to CP&L Letter of Response to NRC Report RII:
WPK 50-400/85-38-01 Reported Violation:
Title 10 Code of Federsl Regulations, Part 50, Appendix B, Criteria XIII as implemented by Section 17.1.13 of the Harris Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) requires that measures be established to control storage and preservation of equipment to prevent damage.
Contrary to the above, adequate measures had not been established to control storage and preservation of equipment to prevent damage in that numerous examples of unauthorized temporary construction loads applied to permanent plant equipment due to rigging or scaffolding and' live loads imposed by personnel were noted.
In addition, examples of equipment damage due to temporary loads were noted.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement II).
Denial or Admission and Reason for the Violation:
The violation is correct as clarified below.
The cause of the violation is considered to be lack of attention
'by craft personnel. Previously identified incidents some of which resulted in damage to equipment, have resulted in action by site management. Reemphasis on requirements and disciplinary action
'(including termination) have taken place. Referenced examples of equipment damage were noted from previous inspections. No new examples of damage were confirmed as a result of this inspection. As a result of the findings identified in the referenced report, additional steps have been taken as stated below.
Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved:
The three (3) examples noted by the inspector during the subject audit were investigated. A Construction Load Release form was found to exist on one of the noted examples. The other two (2) examples for which no load release authorization was obtained were' corrected and visually inspected for damage as were some other loads found in the same areas without evidence of approval. No damage was noted.

Corrective Steps Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance:
Craft supervisors have been required by the Project General Manager - Construction to reemphasize to craft employees their responsibilities and accountabilities relative to protection of permanent plant equipment.
Each Construction Area Superintendent has been made responsible for monitoring his area for loading conditions and questioning load release authorizations to ensure compliance regardless of whether loads are to be applied by Construction, Start-up or Operations until such time as the areas are turned over to Operations.
It is considered that the above actions are adequate to reduce recurrences to a minimum and to control storage and preservation of equipment to prevent damage.
Date When Full Compliance Was Achieved:
The above actions were completed or November 26, 1985.
