SUBJECT:
Reply to a Notice of Violation J. M. Farley Nuclear Plant NRC Inspection of June 11 - July 10, 1988 RE:
Report Number 50-364/88-23
Dear Sir:
his letter refers to the violation cited in the subject inspection report which states:
"During the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) inspection conducted on June 11 - July 10, 1988 a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved was the failure to follow procedures.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for 1:RC Enforcement Actions," 10 CrR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violation is cited below:
Technical specification 6 8-1 requires that applicable written procedures recomended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Revision 2, 1078 shall be established, implemented and maintained.
Contrary to the above, the following example of deficient procedural ipplementation was noted:
Procedure 0-AP-52, Equipment Status Control and Maintenance Authori-zation, Section 7.5.6, requires that a work sequence with appropriate delineation of the work activities to be performed be-included on the maintenance work request. his includes special housekeeping items. Procedure 0-AP-35, General Plant Housekeeping and Cleanliness Control, Section 5.1 states that no combustible or flamable materials are to be stored in or QR adjacent to the auxiliary building,,
containment building, diesel building or service water structure.
AP-35 Section 5.1.7 states that dry resins, HEPA filters and bulk charcoal may be placed in the auxiliary building only when they 4
will be used within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
on June 17, 1988 a total of 18 charcoal filter elements were found stored in the Unit 2' filter penatration ventilation equipment room of the auxiliary building. Wese filters had been stored in this room since the filters had been replaced on April'22, 1988. We-fok D

s. i.
4 U. S. Nuclsar Regulttory Comission August 15, 1998 Page 2 Maintenance work request did not specify that these filters were not to be stored in this room.
n is is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) and is only applicable to Unit 2."
Admission or Denial ne above violation occurred as described in the subject report.
Reason for Violation This violation was caused by personnel error in that:
1.
We maintenance work request (&'R) work sequence specified that the area was to be cleaned upon replacement of charcoal filters. Upon replacement of the filters, the %'R was submitted for functional acceptance and was accepted by the Shift Supervisor without the room being adequately cleaned in that the charcoal was not removed.
2.
Operations, Health Physics and Maintenance personnel did not understand that the charcoal in the filter canisters constituted bulk charcoal and failed to adhere to procedure FNP-0-AP-35.
Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved he charcoal canisters were removed from the Unit 2 filter penetration ventilation. equipment room.
Corrective Steps To Avoid Further Violations h is incident will be discussed with Maintenance personnel, Shift Supervisors, and Shift Foremen. Also, Health Physics, Operations, and Maintenance personnel will be retrained on the requirements of EWP-0-AP-35.
Date of Full Compliance October 1, 1988 Affirmation I affirm that this response is true and complete to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief. We information contained in this letter is not considered to be of a proprietary nature.
Yours very truly, W. G. Hairston, III o,.
