QA Program Review l
The purpose of this inspection was to evaluate implementation of the licensee's QA Program in the areas of audits; receipt, storage and handling; procurement; surveillance; maintenance; and corrective action.
The inspection was performed by reviewing procedures, records and audits, conducting interivews, and observing activities.
In addition, the effectiveness of licensee management involvement and control, staffing, training, and qualifications was evaluated.
a.
Training This portion of the inspection was performed to review training activities because of revisions to the QA manual.
QA training Directive NSDD-T03, Revision 5, outlined the required training and retraining for all site personnel active in the QA program.
The
)
inspectors selected revisions 87-01, 87-02 and 87-03 for review.
I The inspectors determined that all personnel had received retaining
{
for those revisions, and were trained to the current revision.
J No violations were identified.
b.
Auditing l
This portion of the inspection was performed to determine if the site I
auditing program conformed to regulatory requirements, commitments j
and industry standards.
The inspectors accompanied site QA auditors
during a portion of Audit No. 22-87-15 Class 1E Electrical Environmental
]
Qualifications.
The following information was obtained-
,
I The auditor's were certified in accordance with the licensee's
- existing program that met the requirements of ANSI N 45.2.23.
An audit plan was prepared and approved.
The plan had 18 checklist I
items that were utilized during the audit.
The audit was performed well and potential concerns were carefully
assessed by the auditors and QA management.
Results of checklist items were carefully documented and
accurately portrayed the results achieved.
i Concerns and/or findings were promptly handled, with good and
timely closure.
Audits were conducted in accordance with the approved audit
schedule.
No violations were identified.

Procurement Program l
This portion of the inspection was performed to review the licensee's
,
program relating to procurement and determine if activities were.
l conducted in conformance with regulatory requirements, commitments, j
industry guides and standards.
The inspection included detailed i
check of a procurement initiated in March 1987 and received in May 1987.
Purchase Order 313329, was for procurement of austenitic stainless steel pipe, per the 1986 ASME Code,Section III. The licensee committed to Regulatory Guide 1.38-3/73 that endorses ANSI Standard N45.2.2-1972,
" Packaging, Shipping, Receiving, Storage and Handling of items for Nuclear Power Plants (During the Construction Phase)," which is considered applicable during the operation phase.
Sections 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 establish criteria for handling stainless st. eel.
,
The licensee also committed to ANSI N45.2.13-1974, " Quality Assurance Requirements for Control of Procurement of Items and Services for Nuclear Power Plants." Section 3.2.2 establishes criteria for the content of procurement documents.
'
Both ANSI references included the word shall, implying mandatory requirements; however, special instructions about precautions for handling of austenitic stainless steel were not included, as such, in the purchase order.
The licensee concluded that the requirements were probably included indirectly in other references in the procurement documents; however, these references will be reviewed by the licensee to determine if the requirements were actually communicated to the supplier as required.
This matter is unresolved (295/87010-01; 304/87013-01).
l No violations were identified; however, one unresolved item was l
identified.
1 d.
Receipt, Storage, and Handling
'
l This portion of the inspection was performed to review the licensee's activities to control receipt, storage, and handling of equipment and materials to determine if it was inconformance with regulatory
!
requirements, licensee commitments, and industry guides and standards.
j The inspection included checking on the condition and status of a
'
variety of items stored in Warehouse B.
The inspector determined that instructions, procedures, and audits generally addressed requirements, commitments and standards in an acceptable manner; however, the condition and status of stored safety related items indicated that implementation of those items was not effective.
Storage of safety related items was generally covered by ANSI Standard N 45.2.2, Zion Administrative Procedures

No. ZAP-13-52-1, No. ZAP-13-52-2, and Stores Instruction - Generating Station Operation - No. 2.
The following problems were identified by the inspector with the storage of safety related items; however, in only one case was a deleterious affect noted.
- Several lots of elastomeric items were stored in a manner that did not exclude air, contamination, and light.
Two lots of items requiring " Shelf-Life" control had expired,
on the shelf.
One lot of items, with an expired shelf life, had a new date
,
l added on the tag without a justification form on file.
l Several lots of printed circuit boards were stored without
anti-static wrapping, bags, or edgeliners; and were not protected from airborne contaminants or temperature extremes, nor stored vertically or in such a way to prevent stacking.
!
Several lots of threaded snubber parts were rusty, dusty, and l
dirty.
Pump inlet and outlet openings were not covered, plugged, or
protected.
Packaging of many items, protection of pump impellers, and
{
protection of machined surfaces were improper.
j Several computer data records about existing stock items appeared
.
to be incorrect or incomplete.
l Delivery doors to the warehouse were left open at times exposing
the warehouse to the weather, and potential ingress damage from insects, birds, and rodents.
Collectively, these problems are considered a violation of 10 CFR 50, l
Appendix B, Criterion XIII, " Handling, Storage, and Shipping," as l
implemented by Section 13,0 of the Commonwealth Edison Company Topical Report CE-1-A, the Quality Assurance Manual, the Zion station l
Administrative procedures, and applicable work instructions (295/87010-02; 304/87013-02).
One violation was identified.
e.
Corrective Action This portion of the inspection was performed to review the licensee's ability to implement a comprehensive corrective action program to
- ___-_______
D
.
i correct safety-related problems.
The inspection was performed by i
reviewing corrective actions associated with the areas of activity covered by.this inspection but specifically focused on.the area of i
receipt, storage, and handling,_for the years of 1985, 1986, and
'
.1987.
Licensee findings, observations, and deficiencies in these areas were reviewed for comparison with problems identified by the inspector.
Several licensee audit findings were similar to those identified i
by the inspector, and several corrective actions had been initiated I
or requested.
In one case, for Audit QAA 22-86-20, of July 11-30, 1986, it could not be verified that the shelf-life program had been
adequately implemented.
As described in Section 3d, items had already l
passed the date of established shelf life.
The corrective action l
response was commitments to have a complete walkdown of all safety-l related items to verify that the items were included in the computer i
database by December 15, 1986, and to complete shelf life activities
!
with the data computerized by February 1987.
The preceeding examples
{
of problems in the area of meterial storage indicated that the actions i
taken to correct the problems were inadequate.
This.is considered a l
violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, " Corrective Action"
(295/87010-03; 304/87013-03).
i i
One violation was idenfited.
f.
Surveillance Procedures and Records This portion of the inspection was performed to review the licensee's program relating to surveillance procedures and records to determine if the surveillance of safety-related systems and components was scheduled and conducted in accordance with approved procedures as required by the Technical Specifications (Tf), In-Service Inspections (ISI); In-Service Test (IST), for Pumps and Valves, and NRR-Approved Fire Protection / Prevention Program.
QA audits of TS surveillance and associated activities were reviewed by the inspector.
The audits were performed in an adequate manner and results obtained indicated adequate performance by the licensee in this area.
The Zion Operating General Surveillance Schedule, of surveillance for the period of May 15, 1987 thru May 22, 1987, was reviewed in detail by the inspector for both Units 1 and 2.
Items on this schedule were verified in reference to the MSS and determined complete and correct.
Surveillance procedures, data sheets, and records were generally
.
complete, correct, and in accordance with requirements.
No violations were identified.

i
i
.
l Training was adequate in the area of QA program changes;
Audit personnel were well qualified and trained;
Audits and surveillance were adequate and conducted according
to schedule; corrective actions were adequate except in the area of material storage where two violations were identifed.
Neither violation was significant because none of the cited
examples caused or contributed to ineffective or unsafe l
performance.
QA management involvement was lacking in the area of ensuring
that followup actions were taken to preclude recurrence of maintenance related problems.
