Receiot. Storage, and Handling of Ecuicment The NRC inspector reviewed the licensee's program and implementing pro-cedures for receiot, storage, and handling of equipment and materials for comoliance with Appendix B to Part 50 of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations and Section 17 of the litansee's FSAR entitled, " Quality Assurance Program Operations Phase." 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V requires that: " Activities affecting quality shall be pre-scribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and sha'l be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Instructions, proce-dures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have oeen satisfactorily accomplished."
The following are examoles of an apparent violation of the requirement that activities affecting quality be accomplished in accordance with documented procedures or instructions:
a.
Licensee Standing Order G-22, Revision 3, " Storage of Critical Elements and Radioactive Material Packaging, Fire Protection Material, and Calibration Equipment," dated January 7,1980, Section 3.10 specifies controls to be implemented by licer.ee personnel for material having shelf life requirements.
These controls specify that a " monthly inspection of material will be made per tne CPPD Shelf Life and Proper Storage Review List, witn tne comcleted form being retained on file for two years. '
It is noted that this procedure does not assign specific resconsi-bility for identifying snelf life material or for controlling such matarial.

Licensee stores personnel stated flat no shelf life meterial was, to their knowledge, presently under their control in the store room, nor had shelf life material been under their control in the past two years.
Licensee Internal Audit Report 26-79, dated October 1, 1979,
" Product Control and Receiving Inspection," identified that the licensee was beginning to use silicone foam which had a one year shelf life requirement identified by the manufacturer. No non-compliance in the implementation of Standing Order G-22 was identified, nor was a noncompliance reported in the licensee's 1980 audit of this area.
On May 6, 1981, a review of Dow Corning product bulletin for Oow Corning 3-6548 silicone RTV foam indicated that it is a limited shelf life item, for which the above controls would be required.
An inspection of the licensee store room on May 6,1981, showed the material identified for fire protection applications in stores from the fo: lowing licensee purchase orders:
-
Purchase Order Date Acceoted 46300 Aoril 8, 1980 50865 September 30, 1980 51410 Decemcer 18, 1980 As of May 6,1981, licensee personnel had not initiated the shelf life controls for the subject silicone foam which are required by licensee Standing Order G-22, Section 3.10 as stated above.
b.
Licensee Standirq Order G-22, Revision 3, " Storage of Critical Elements and Radioactive Material Packaging, Fire Protection Material, and Calibration Equipment," dated January 7,1980, Section 3.10 requires tagging of acceptable material with a
"QA Material Conformance" tag at the time of acceptance.
On May 5, 1981, the NRC inspector, accompanied by licensee representatives, inspected the licensee's store room at Fort Calhoun and found 20 items of material stored in the storage areas for accepted critical elements (safety-related material)
whicn were not tagged with the "QA Material Conformance" tag.
This material was stored under the following licensee stores stock nuccers:
i 651-0561 651-0582 651-3788 651-3797 651-0562 651-0584 651-3793 651-3798

Soiral Wound Gaskets Installed in the Reactor Coolant Pumos, One of the licensee receipt inspection packages reviewed by the NRC inspector on May 6, 1981, was licensee Purchase Order 47921, dated March 10, 1980, for 3/4 " spiral wound (metal-asbestos) gaskets, CG-15C, 1500 lb. for the reactor coolant pumps.
The NRC inspector noted that the order did not include controls on the levels of chlorides and other deleterious elements.
This purcnase order was based on a document described by licensee personnel as a " Traveling Requisition." Cohen questioned by tne NRC inscector regarding the procedure or procedures which prescribed administraticn, control and use of Traveling Requisitions, licensee personnel stated that no such procedure or procedures existed.
See paragraph 4.b) Three of four licensee procurement actions for this gasket nad not invoked cnlorice and sulphur controls on the 7 raveling Requisition.
The NRC inspector reviewed all other identified Traveling Requisitions for safety-related spiral wound metal-asbestos gaskets and found no other problems of this nature, nor could it be determined that gaskets procured under Purchase Order 47921 were unacceptable for the intended use.
Pending determination by tne licensee of the acceptability of these gaskets, this -= mains an unresolved item (8111-03).
Procurement The NRC inspector reviewed the licensee's procurement activities, including receipt inspection, storage, packaging, adequacy of identi-fication, and shelf life control for compliance with Appendix 8 to Part 50 of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, and the licensee's Quality Assurance Program for Operations, and implementing procedures.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V requires that activities affec-ting qua;ity be prescribed in documented instructions or procedures.

The following are examples of an apparent violation of the requirement
!
that activities affecting quality be prescribed in documented procedures or instructions.
a.
On May 6, 1981, the licensee did not have documented instructions or procedures covering acceptability, identification and control, including shelf life control, of spare parts and spare components for safety elated applications remaining from original construction spares.
The NRC inspector found this material both in the licensee store room and in the storage locker ia the licensee's "I&C Shop."
b.
On May 7, 1981, the licensee did not have documented instructions
,
and procedures prescribing administration, control, and assigned responsibilities for " Traveling Requisitions" for stores items used for safety-related applications.
Failure to prescribe activities affecting quality in documented instructions or procedures is an apparent violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix 3, Criterion V (3111-02).
