JOHN A.OLSHINSKI'S

LETTER TO S.A.WHITE DATED APRIL 16, 1986 Item 1'10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII and the accepted Quality Assurance (QA)Program (TVA Topical Report TVA-TR75-1A), Section 17.2.13, require that items in the gA program be stored to prevent damage or deterioration.

The QA program commits to Regulatory

Guide 1.38, Revisi.on 2, which endorses ANSI N45.2.2-1972, Packaging, Shipping, Receiving, Storage, and Handling of Items for Nuclear Power Plants.Section 6.4.2(1)of this standard requires that items in storage have all covers, caps, or plugs or other protective

closures intact.Contrary to the above, during a tour of the Engineering

Change Notice (ECN)warehouse on March 5, 1986, the inspector identified

that most stainless steel tubing (AMG 1384)and a solenoid valve (Contract Number 84PJ5-834065)

were not protected as required.Further visual inspection

also identified

additional

examples of items in storage that were not.protected as required.This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement, I).1.Admission or Denial of the Alle ed Violation TVA admits the violation.

2.Reasons For the Violation A lack of attentiveness

to protective

coverings for every item in storage.3.Corrective

Ste s Which Have Been Taken and Results Achieved Employee meetings held at the Engineering

Change Notice warehouse on March 13 and March 20, 1986 emphasized

the mandatory requirement

that.protective

covers be maintained

on components, including piping, fittings, and valves, in accordance

with ANSI N45.2.2-1972.

A walkdown of the entire warehouse has been completed and any deficiencies

in protective

coverings have been corrected.

The central receiving office has been notified of the violation and will ensure that shipments are properly protected before being, placed in storage.4.Corrective

Ste s Which Will Be Taken to Avoid Further Violations

A followup program has been developed that will require a designated

individual

to check components

on a weekly basis for protective

covers which may have inadvertently

become unsecured due to such factors as material handling or weather conditions.

5.Date When Full Co liance Will Be Achieved Full compliance

has been achieved
