SU""ARY OF FINDISCS Enforcement Action None Licensee Actica on Previcusiv Identified inforcenent 'atters A.
Fiocran Controls for Accendix B. Criteria I, II. XVI, KVIII The UELC Quality Control organization has been placed directly under the control of the GPU Quality Assurance organization. A progran of indoctrination, training, and re-training is in effect.
Deficiency Reports are being completed and followed up, and a formal auditing program is being conducted.
These deficiencies rere identified at a site inspection on May 31 - June 1, 1972 and were listed as nonconformances in a letter to the licensee on August 22, 1972.
The corrective =easures taken fulfill the co==it-
-
nents =ade in the licensee's letter of September 11, 1972.
This item is resolved.

Status of Previously Renorted Unresc1ved Items 1.
Ultrasonic Testing Procedure on Stainless Steel Valves Procedures have been developed fcr the CT excninations of Class I stainless steel valves.
This resolves the previously unresolved item relating to the development of a procedure, but the progrca of verifying the wall thicknesses of all safety-related valves is continuing.

UE6C QC Procedure No. QC-10, Appendix A
"OC Pror.rnm for Val e Wall Thickness Cracks," Revision 0, Decenber 19, 1972.
The equipment ured was an Automation Industries (Sperry) Reflectoscope, No. UM-721 utilizing an HFN Pu'lser-Receiver with a digital readout module plus a unit f or visual / aural alarn ga ting.
Calibration standards wer, previded to cover each austenitic alloy and thickness of sterial to be measured.
For demonstration purposes a 4" Alloyco gate valve No. MUV-89A was exanined during the inspecticn.
The records for the wall thickness ceasurceents were asintained on UE6C f orts designated TMI-WT-1 through WT-9 f or the dif f erent type valves being inspected.
The inspector made the following observations during the inspe.. ion:
_
There was no documentation available f or reference calibration a.
block S/N2.
-
b.
The valve inspection record f or=s did not renuire the identi-fication of the particular reference calibration standard used.
c.
The Ccna= procedure No. N1P-016 specifies a + 7% accuracy, whereas the licensee's correspondence states that a + 5% accuracy will be attained.
-
These ite=s were corrected by the licensee prior to the ccmpletion of the inspection, and were verified by the inspector.
The outstanding item related to the development of an ultrasonfe technicue f or measuring wall thicknesses on stainless steel valves is resolved, but the licensee's program of verifying the dimensional requirements of all saf ety-related valves is continuing.
3.
Re-Organizaticn of OC/OA The QC/QA functions at the site have been re-organized effective October 31, 1972, with the licensee assuming responsibility for management of the QC/QA functions which were previously managed by UE&C.
The QC/QA remains. a three level program and the responsibilities
~
and functions of each level are described in the Three Mile Island QA Plans.
The vender inspection group is now located at the site.

-6-A number of organizational changes have been rude to attain the objective of direct licensee canagement of QC/QA.
The new organ-1:ation will be included in the FSAE, The special task force which was forced to institute changes in QC/QA has been disbanded.
There has been a considerable buildup in the number of QA/QA persennel at the site.
The total is presently 134, which includes GPU, Uric, Ccnas, Gilbert Associates, Eurns and Roe, Stearns Rogers, Labcock and 'a'il c ox, Pittsburgh Testing Laboratories, and U. S. Testing Lab-oratories.

Progran Controls for Accendix 3. Criteria 1.
II, XVI. XVIII The re-organization of the QC/QA at this site, together with the marked increase in the nu=ber of personnel involved in quality werk has resulted in the preparation of new procedures and an in-creased implementation of the pre-existing procedures.
_
Criterion I and II have been implemented by the indoctrination and retraining of all quality related personnel, covering their authority,
duties and independence from the construction personnel.
Criterion XVI has. been i=plemented by the use of UELC Deficiency Reports, Revision C.
Several of these completed DR's were examined by the inspector.
These included identification of the deficiency, report distribution list, disposition, verification of disposition action and reinspection.
The approvals were signed and dated by the designated authorities.
Criterion r/III has been.i=ple=ented by the for=ation of a licensee QA group whose function is the planning, scheduling, conducting, doc-u=entation and followup of site audits.
The inspector examined the
_
wall counted schedule of planned and completed audits, and the doc-unentation covering completed audits.
In addition to the preplanned audits there were numerous spot audits of field activities. In the examination of'the co=pleted audits, the inspector found in some cases that the audits were short on detail as to the ite=s examined and found.
This ites is resolved.
