REPLY TO NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-318/89-15
[
Appendix A of NRC Inspection Report 50-318/89-15 cites four examples of non-compliance in the area of Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) Personnel Certification records. Examples cited are:
o Absence of records indicating that required annual training was given to two individuals for liquid penetrant testing.
o Absence of some required Lesson Plan Records for documenting NDE training.
.
o Failure to make one visual NDE examiner aware that his certification had-expired.
o Failure to clearly and specifically address NDE certification of visual examination personnel for visual examination types VT-1, VT-2, VT-3, and VT-4.
We fully recognize the importance of utilizing - qualified and certified NDE examination personnel and plan to rectify the current problemr with the fcilo' wing corrective actions.
1.
The inspections performed by the NDE examiner during the period his certification was expired will be evaluated. If found to be unacceptable, the inspections will be repeated.
2.
We have arranged for additional resources to provide the recordkeeping and clerical support required by our NDE program. These additional resources
,
will enable us to properly maintain our NDE records.
3.
NDE Control Procedure 5.002,
" Qualification and Certification of Non-Destructive Examination Personnel," will be revised to; a.
specifically address each type of visual examination defined i.n the 1983 ASME Section XI through Summer 1983 Addenda (VT-1, VT-2.
VT-3, and VT-4).
,
b.
address annual training requirements of unlimited NDE examiners,
!
and; c.
provide a certification summary sheet for each NDE examiner so that they are aware of their certification status.
J Corrective actions (2) and (3) have been initiated through the use of contracter personnel for other routine NDE work so BG&E personnel can concentrate on these particular problem areas. We feel confident that the corrective actions cited above will assure that the qualification and certification of NDE personnel is performed in accordance with our procedures and applicable National Standards. We believe that the i
corrective actions described herein will preclude additional violations in this area.
We expect that all the corrective actions will be complete by October 1969, at which time we will be in fu!! compliance.
