October 15, 1986, and in accordance with the " General Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the following violation was identified.

Regulatory Guide 1.39, Revision 2, Regulatory Guide 1.39, Revision 2 is committed to in Appendix A of the Byron FSAR.
ANSI N45.2.3-1973, Section 1.1 requires that housekeeping encompasses all activities related to control of cleanliness of facilities, cleanliness of material and equipment, fire prevention and fire protection including disposal of combustible materials and debris.
Section 3.3 requires that the receiving, storage, and handling activities required by this standard shall be performed as specified in ANSI N45.2.2-1972.
ANSI N45.2.2-1972, " Packaging, Shipping, Receiving, Storage, and Handling of Items for Nuclear Power Plants (during the construction Phase), "Section 6.2.3 requires that fire protection commensurate wit the type of storage area and the material involved shall be provided and maintained.
Section 6.3.3 requires that hazardous chemicals, paints, solvents, and other material of a like nature shall be stored in well ventilated areas which are not in close proximity to important nuclear plant items.
Contrary to the above, on October 1, 1986 in the Unit 2 lower cable spreading room at the 439 foot level the following items were discovered:
