Licensee Action on Previous Enforcement Matters
a.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (259,260, 296/82-04-02): Valve Storage Condi-tion. The inspector noted that the eight valves had been moved into a

warehouse. A review of the Engineering Change Notice (ECN) for which these valves had been ordered revealed that, although the valves had been ordered as safety-related for Hartsville, the valves were now being used in a nonsafety related design change. The valves are being stored properly.
b.
(Closed) Violation (259,260, 296/82-10-03): Failure to Implement QA Program On Receipt Inspections. TVA's response dated June 10, 1982, is considered acceptable by Region II.
The inspector reviewed BF 16.4 revised July 1982 and verified that QC receipt inspectors are now inspecting both material and procurement documents as required by the N-00AM.
The inspector concluded that TVA had determined the full extent of the violation, performed the necessary survey and followup i
actions to correct the present conditions, and developed the necessary corrective actions to preclude recurrence of similar violations.
Corrective actions stated in the response have been implemented.
'
Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspection.

QA/QC Administrative Program (35751)
References:
(a) Topical Report TVA-TR75-1, Revision 5 (b) N-0QAM. Appendix A, Browns Ferry Critical Structures, Systems and Components (CSSC) List, revised 5/82 (c) BF 2.2, Source Document Implementation, revised 8/82 The following aspects of the QA/QC program were verified:
-
QA Program documents clearly define the structures, systems, components, and activities to which the program applies.
!
Administrative controls of QA/QC Department procedures exist that
-
provide for review and approval of procedures prior to implementation; controls for changes and revisions to procedures exist and controls
,
exist for distribution and recall of procedures.
-
Responsibilities have been established to assure overall review of the effectiveness of the QA Program.
Methods exist to modify the QA Program to provide increased emphasis in
-
problem areas identified during audit activities.
Within this area, one inspector followup item was identified. Based on the
,
recent change to the accepted QA Program (reference (a)), the inspector reviewed the licensee's action taken to modify the Nuclear Operational Quality Assurance Manual (N-00AM) in order to reflect this new revi:, ion,
,
i The Nuclear Power QA staff is in the process of conducting a program require-ments review which will link requirements in the accepted QA Program to the N-00AM, which procedurally implements the program. This review should

.
assure that all aspects of the program, except the audit function, are addressed and documented in subtier documents. The Office of Power Quality Assurance and Audit Staff has responsibliity for the audit f unction and has reviewed that portion of tne program change. The licensee stated that the program requirements review would be completed and N-0QAM changes written and approved by January 1, 1983. Completion of this review and integration of the program change into the N-00AM is identified as an inspector followup item (259, 260, 296/82-35-01) and will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.

Procurement (38701)
References:
(a) N-00AM, Part III, Section 2.1, Procurement of Materials, Components, Spare Parts and Services, revisad 8/82 (b) N-00AM, Part III, Section 2.4, Preparation Performance and Reporting of Supplier Quality Assurance Audits and Evaluations by the Nuclear Central Office Quality Assurance Staff, revised 5/81 (c) DPM N72A14, General Procurement Procedure for the Division of Nuclear Power, revised 7/82 (d) DPM N756A4, Standards and Substitution Guides for Quality Assurance Level III Items, revised 6/82 (e) BF 16.2, Prccurement, revised 9/82 (f) BF 16.3, Quality Control of Material, Components, Spare Parts, and Services, revised 7/82 (g) Division of Power Qualified Supplier List The inspector reviewed the licensee's procurement program with respect to selected elements of the accepted QA Program. The inspection was to verify that administrative controls had been established for the preparation, review, approval, and revision of procurement documents. Implementation of the procurement program was verified by reviewing the procurement documents of several safety-related items and verifying that they were prepared in accordance with administrative controls, that they were purchased from qualified vendors, and that they required the vendor to supply appropriate documentation of quality. The following specific items were reviewed:
Contract Number Quality Level 3285682
332419
825344
252643
291023
The inspector also reviewed the licensee's procedures to verify that acceptable methods were being used to qualify vendors which provide quality goods or services, that these procedures required maintenance of records of supplier qualifications and audits, and that responsibilities have been
..
.
assigned to perform the vendor qualification program. To verify implementa-tion, the inspector selected several vendors for review of their TVA quali-fication determination and also to verify that these vendors were documented on the qualified vendors list.
Within this area, one inspector followup item was identified. The vendor audit function had recently been transferred from Nuclear Power QA to Office of Power QA.
The vendor audit personnel were still complying with reference (b), but provided the inspector with a draft procedure QAAS-QAP-3.5, Supplier Quality Evaluation Program, to be used during sub-sequent vendor audits by the Office of Power. During the review of annual vendor evaluations required by reference (b), the inspector found that several evaluations specified by the licensee's controlling procedure were late by 1 or 2 months. The Procurement Programs Group Head stated that he was aware of this problem and that corrective measures were in progress to perform the delinquent evaluations.
The late evaluations were apparently due to the reorganization and personnel relocations. The licensee provided a date of January 1,1983 for implementing an approved procedure ard for conducting the annual evaluation within the required time frame. This area is identified as an inspector followup item (259, 260, 296/82-35-02) and will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.

Receipt, Storage, and Handling of Materials (38702)

The inspection veri fied that administrative controls had been established concerning receipt inspection of safety-related materials, preparation and retention of required documenta-tien, control of acceptable nonconforming and conditional release items, and control of items in storage. Implementation of the program was reviewed by selecting several safety-related items in storage and verifying document and item control to be in accordance with the program.

6", 600# Gate Valve 825344 Within this area, one inspector followup item was identified. During the
'
review of the Engineering Change Notice (ECN) warehouse complex, several
CSSC valves and sections of pipe were observed to be missing protective coverings as required by ANSI N45.2.2 and reference (d). This problem had
previously been identified by the onsite QA staff in a QA survey conducted on April 20, 1982. Corrective Action Report (CAR) 82-30-PS was written and protective covers were ordered for the material. The material does not appear to be damaged.
This licensee identified problem is noted as an inspector followup item (259, 260, 296/82-35-03).
The resolution of CAR 82-30-PS and a reinspection of the ECN warehouse will be conducted during a subsequent inspection.

The inspector reviewed the referenced material with respect to the l
licensee's accepted QA program. The inspection verified that administrative
!
controls for general housekeeping and cleanliness practices have been
established which include the following specific items: control of house-j keeping during work activities; requirements that excessive equipment and materials are returned to storage areas; requirements for the prompt removal i
from the facility of combustible materials or debris; requirements for cleaning safety-related components and systems; establishment of cleanliness
classifications for plant systems; establishment of requirements for material accountability in critical areas; requirements for cleaning primary system components that have been repaired or replaced; and requirements for j
maintaining the cleanliness of previously cleaned systems.
Within the area, no violations or deviations were identified.
