ATTACHMENT
DISTRICT RESPONSE TO.NRC INSPECTION
-
t
.
As a result.of the inspection by G.
Perez and C. Myers between
February 3 to March 7,
1986, the following alleged violation was
identified:
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XII, requires that measures
shall be established to assure that tcols, gauges, instruments,
and other measuring.and testing devices used in activities
affecting quality are properly controlled.
Additionally, Licensee Quality Assurance Policy 1.2 states'in
part, " Appropriate procedural methods shall be prescribed and
implemented to assure that measuring and , testing devices used in
activities affecting quality are properly controlled..."
t
i
AP.18, " Plant Housekeeping and Inspection, " requires that " Tools
and test equipment shall be stored in their proper location at
the end of the workday and anytime when not in use."
,
contrary to the above, on March 5 and again on March 7, 1986,
calibrated tools (crimpers and a torquing screw driver) and a
voltmeter, were found uncontrolled at a work site adjacent to
i
the Control Room when no work was being accomplished.
i
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement I).
'
RESPONSE
,
,
'
The. District agrees that AP.18 procedure was violated.
The
calibrated tools cited by the inspector were being utilized
intermittently at the work site over a period of several days.
The tools were not secured at the end of each workday as required
<
' by AP.18.
The intent of AP.18 was to ensure that the plant is
c
'
l
kept neat, orderly and clean at all times.
Control of MT&E
l
Calibration and Control of Inspection and Test Equipment is
4
i
provided by AP.33.
Specifically, this control is exercised
!
through current master lists of calibrated tools, instruments and
!
equipment, calibration data sheets, recalibration scheduling, and
tool issue documentation.
It
is recognized that prudent
7
operating and maintenance practices are enhanced by securing M&TE
i
l
to preclude tampering or damage.

As a result, the immediate response in this instance by
Electrical Maintenance was to have each piece of equipment
checked to ensure that inadvertent damage had not occurred.
Each
item was subsequently found to be in proper working order.
Additionally, to ensure that greater care will be exercised over
calibrated equipment in the future, the Electrical Maintenance
Superintendent issued verbal instructions to place M&TE within
carts, toolboxes or cabinets while not physically in use.
These
verbal instructions have been included in AP.33, Revision 5,
" Calibration and Control of Measurement and Test Equipment
(M&TE)," under Section 6.3.2 which states,
"
All individuals
...
and supervisors must not allow M&TE to be left in any area when
it is not being used and must insure that M&TE is returned to the
appropriate storage area after use."
No additional discrepancies
in this area have been reported.
Control of M&TE within the calibration program now fulfills the
required purpose of tracking the issue and periodic adjustment of
M&TE to ensure its accuracy.
,
Revision 5 of AP.33 was implemented on June 30, 1986.
