Dear Sir:

In accordance with the provisions of Section 2.201 of the NRC's

" Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc. (PSI) offers the following information in response to the nonconformances contained in Inspection Report numbered 50-546/79-25; 50-547/79-25.

Item of Noncompliance (50-546/79-25-01 and 50-547/79-25-01)

Marble Hill PSAR, Chapter 1, Section 1.7 commits to the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.38 (March 16, 1973) and therefore to ANSI N45.2.2(1972) Section 6 which states in part that levels and methods of storage necessary are defined to minimize the possibility of damage or lowering of quality due to corrosion, contamination, deterioration or physical damage from the time an item is stored upon receipt until the item is removed from storage and placed in its final location.

And that items released from storage and placed in their final locations within the power plant, shall be inspected and cared for in accordance with the requirements of the section of this

^

standard, and other applicable standards.

The Marble Hill Nuclear Generating Station Construction Management Manual Procedure 4.2 addresses the requirements of ANSI N45.2 regarding storage, maintenance and handling.

Contrary to the above, PSI has not sufficiently implemented its material control program related specifically to storage and maintenance at the Marble Hill plant site.

The following items are examples of those detailed in this report.

a.

Improper / inadequate storage of material; (1) reactor coolant loop stop valves and main steam isolation valves, stored outdoors (Level D) which should have Level B (indoor-heated, temperature controlled) for motors or Level C (indoor) for valves as a minimum with no motors.

Manufacturer applied protective covering film was observed to be in place and intact on all eight (8) reactor coolant pump casings.

Additionally, all were covered with tarp to provide extra protection.

8.

All carbon steel banding straps on reactor coolant piping were removed in late November, 1979, rust discoloration has been cleaned off, and all such piping is presently covered by tarps.

9.

All ten (10) sets of Reactor Vessel O-rings are being moved indoors into a recently completed warehouse.

This transfer will be completed by 2-21-80.

The warehouse will be completed to Level B standards by 2-29-80.

10.

For Weetinghouse equipment such as tanks, filters, supports and auxiliary heat exchangers, ANSI N45.2.2 requires Level D storage.

PSI has written Westinghouse requesting clarification of their storage requirements for these items.

When Westinghouse clarification is received, it will be evaluated and dispositioned in accordance with the PSI Material Management Program described below in Corrective Action Taken to Prevent Recurrence.

b.

Nonconformance and/or Corrective Action Reports have been written to document the material maintenance deficiencies noted, to assure evaluation of these maintenance deficiencies and to assure verification of corrective actions taken.

Corrective actions have been initiated on these deficiencies and these actions are being documented on the reports.

Corrective Action Taken to Prevent Recurrence To prevent recurrence of these storage and material maintenance deficiencies PSI has:

1.

Initiated development of a site-wide PSI Material Management Program to address inspection, storage, maintenance, and control of PSI purchased material.

This Program will provide for planning and implementation of proper storage and material maintenance by consideration of manufacturer recommendations and engineering evaluations.

The Program will also require inspection of items to verify quality prior to release for installation or use.

2.

Increased PSI staffing levels in material management to support the Material Management Program.
