Subject:

Control of Storage and Maintenance (Housekeeping)

Activities:

The Notice of Violation states in part:

... the licensee failed to establish measures to ensure that instrumentation piping and fittings were protected from entry of foreign material as evidenced by the numerous open piping and fittings associated with instrument FT-1B33-N024B (Reactor Recirc Flow Transmitter).

I. Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved Illinois Power Company has performed an evaluation of the conditions surrounding these activities and determined that ineffective implementation of project procedures for housekeeping was occurring. A walkdown/ clean up effort is being undertaken to bring all areas into compliance. The specific areas noted have been completed.

II. Corrective Action to be Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance

1. Baldwin Associates procedure BAP-2.7, Housekeeping, will be revised to add "no drinking" requirements to level IV cleanliness requirements. However, designated drinking areas are permitted.

2. Baldwin Associates Project Management has been directed to upgrade the level of cleanliness in the power block from level V (good housekeeping) to level IV (restricted use of tobacco products and eating).

Designated eating areas may be provided within level IV boundaries. Area upgrade has commenced and will be an ongoing activity. Level IV cleanliness is expected to be acheived by May 31, 1985.

3. Baldwin Associates Project Management has provided guidelines to augment the procedural requirements and define the authority and responsibilities of the discipline superintendents and the area coordinators in the implementation of the housekeeping program. These guidelines also direct the area coordinators to report any problems to project management for their action.

Subject:

Records for Safety Related Material The Notice of Violation states in part:

... the licensee failed to establish effective measures to ensure that vendor documentation was complete and acceptable as evidenced by the lack of a date on 5 Certificates of Conformance ... and the lack of a signature on a Brazing / Heat Treat Verification ,

Report in the same package.

I. Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved Illinois Power Company has performed an evaluation of the data package with the following results:

Procurement of these valves required the manufacturer to provide certification, in the form of a NPV-1 Data Report, that the purchased items comply with the ASME Code Section III and applicable addenda. In addition to providing the NPV-1 Data Report, Yarway elected to provide additional, though not required, supporting information in the form of Certificates of Conformance and a Brazing / Heat Treatment Verification Report. These supporting documents do not require review in that, the NPV-1 Data Report is sufficient to assure all ASME Code Section III requirements are completed. The Illinois Power Company document verification program does review the NPV-1 Data Report and has found this NPV-1 Data Report to be acceptable.

II. ' Corrective Action to be Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance No further corrective action necessary.

III. Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved Illinois Power Company is in full compliance.
