SALEM GENERATING
STATION, UNIT 1 We have reviewed the report of your inspection
conducted
by Mr. R. A. Brearty on October 6 and 7, 1980 and October 9 and 10, 1980. Our response to the item of noncompliance*
identified
in Appendix A is as follows: Item: Deficiency
The Salem Unit 1 technical
specification
6.8.1 states, in part, that "Written procedures
shall be established, .* ** covering the activities
referenced
below: a. The applicable
procedures
recommended
in Appendix "A" of Regulatory
Guide 1.33, November 1972 .*. " Regulatory
Guide 1. 3 3, .November
19 7 2 , Appendix "A" ,Section I .1 * states, in part, that "Maintenance
which can affect the formance of safety-related
equipment
should be .** performed
in accordance
with written procedures, .** " Maintenance
Procedure
MllF, paragraph
3.1, states, in part, that " .** when the reactor vessel is open, the control area is the reactor vessel pit *** " This procedure
further states, in part, that "Control of tools and items in an area is by securing essen-tial personal items *.* by taping to the body .*. " * Contrary to the above, on October 10, 1980, members of a work 102 040 J3tf
Boyce H. Grier, Dir. -2 -11-17-80 crew, including
a supervisor
working from a position over the reactor vessel pit, did not have essential
personal items taped to their bodies or otherwise
firmly secured. * Reply to Deficiency
The cause was .an oversight
on the part of some members of a Maintenance
Department.work
crew. This error was compounded
by the fact that tool control was being handled by the Operating ment which had responsibility
for the refueling
activities
being performed;-
the Operating
Department
refueling
procedure
did not include a formal procedure-
for tool control*.
The situation
was rectified
inimediately.
When the subject was brought to the *attention
of the maintenance
personnel
involved, essential
personal items were taped to their bodies or otherwise
firmly secured. Also, operating
personnel
responsible
for tool control were instructed
to read and follow Maintenance
Procedure
MllF. The Operating
Department
refueling
procedure
has been changed to .reference
a tool control procedure
and require its use and presence on the refueling
floor. If you have any further questions
with regard to this matter we will be pleased to discuss them with you. Sincerely, cc Director, Office of Inspection
and Enforcement.
