Thi: is discussed in IE Report 50-327/80-46, paragraph 5.
The inspector discussed with members of the QA staff the significance of this change.
The inspector reviewed the pro-cedures referenced throughout this report to verify their confor-mance to the accepted QA Program.
Based on this review no violations or deviations were identified.

Division of Nuclear Power Qualified Vendors List, Revision 0 dated 2/81 The inspector reviewed the licensees procedures to verify that
acceptable methods were being used to qualify vendors =which pro-vide quality goods or services; that these procedures required the maintenance of records of supplier qualifications and audits; and that responsibilities have been assigned to perform the vendor qualification program. To verify implementation, the inspector selected several vendors _for review of their TVA qualification detennination and also to verify that these vendors were documented on the qualified vendors list.
Based on this review, two unresolved items were identified and are discussed in paragraphs 6.a and.

i a.
Annual Supplier Evaluation Reference (c), Appendix 5, requires annual supplier performance evaluations in order to validate the triennial audit conducted i
on all approved vendors.
These annual evaluations had not been conducted since 9/79 when this requirement was included I
in Appendix 5.
The inspector observed that annual evaluations are now being performed. A proposed.Part III, Section 2.4 of
,
the N-0QAM, titled Preparation, Performance and Reporting of Supplier Quality Assurance Audits and Evaluatipn by the Nuclear-Central Office Staff, revises and clarifies the annual.evalua-tion method and the documenting of the triennial audits. This item is unresolved (327/81-06-02) pending NRC review of the complete implementation of the annual evaluation program.
b.
Level II Items Approved Vendors TVA uses a four-level method to categorize critical structures,
systems and components (CSSC) type material.
Level-I consists of those materials, components, and spare parts which are a part of, and whose failure would violate, the reactor coolant pressure boundary and also those other CSSC items that cannot be bought by industry stedards or reference part number.
<
Level II items are those items that can be purchased by positive identification, and that allow in-kind replacement of items
,
when the specified industry code or standard provides positive identification.
- The inspector noted that only Level I ltem suppliers were identified on the approved vendor list.. The inspector then reviewed TVA audit OP0AA-CH-79-V-3 which also identified this
'
apparent problem. As the results of this audit a reanalysis of the qualified vendors program was conducted and the program has been changed to requ!re qualified vendors for not only
.
Level I items but also Level II items that require reporting
-
under 10 CFR 21.
This item is unresolved (327/81-06-03)
.
pending NRC review of the implementation of the vendor certifi-cation program for Level II, 10 CFR 21 material suppliers.

Records storage procedures were also reviewed to ensure that they described the storage facilities, the filing systems used, and methods of receipt, handling and disposal of the records.
In order to verify implementation of these procedures, the inspector selected two procurement contracts, two recorder charts, three maintenance instructions and two PORC minutes to verify indexing, retrievability and storage.
Based on this review one unresolved and one open item were identified and are discussed in paragraphs 7.a and 7.b.
a.
Control of Power Stores QA Records Attachment 9 of reference (a') contains the QA records that are required to be maintained by the plant Power Stores supervisor in his temocrary storage files.
Reference (g) states that a record index will be maintained for these records; but this
_ instruction letter only provides a reference to Attachment 9 instead of listing the required records.
During the review of the Power Stores temporary records storage facility, the inspector observed that the records custodian was aware of reference (g) but was not aware of the contents of Attachment-S
'
and thus was unable to verify that records received agreed with the predetermined index checklist as required by ANSI N45.2.9, committed to by the licensee. No violation is issued at present, as the inspector dio not identify any quality type records that were not controlled.
The inspector did identify one type record, IQT Contracts, listed on Attachment 9, which the custodian was not controlling; but at the time of the inspection this record file did not contain any quality con-tracts, although quality IQT Contracts may be generated in the future.
This item is unresolved (327/81-06-04) pending the NRC review of the Power Stores temporary storage facility after the custodian is apprised of the index and the files are maintained in accordance with Attachment.9.

-5-b.
Storage of Records The inspector had identified a records storage discrepancy during a previous inspection, item number 327/80-46-21,which noted that reference (a) did not agree with the N-0QAM in regards to a new revision to the accepted 1QA Program, changing temporary storage of records from an indefinite period of time to 3 months with exceptions listed in the N-0QAM. The Corrective Action Report mentioned in the previous report addressed this procedure discrepancy but not the implementation time frame for this records program change.
The licensee committed to a-target date of March 1,1982 for the complete implementation of the new records requirements.
Until this area is reviewed by the NRC, this item is open (327/81-06-07).
An identical item was identified at Browns Ferry as open item 259, 260, 296/81-02-08.

The inspector selected the following documents to verify implementa' tion of the document control program.
Drawings Locations 47W844-1, 2, 3, 4 All drawings were verified 47W809-1 at the shift engineers office, 47W811-1 Unit I control room, maintenance 47W812-1 shop and instrument shop.

a.
Location of Validated Manuals y
Validated copy #7 of Isolation Amplifier Modei 572 manufactured by Robert Shaw and validated copy #3 of ASME Boiler and Pressure

in master files distribute all 16 copies.
Unit SQA 43 is updated to reflect actual distribution of the N-00AM to plant personnel this item is open (327/81-06-06).
The licensee gave a target date of March 31, 1981 for the updating of SQA 43.
c.
Annual Review of Procedures
'
.
Referen u (a), paragraph 4.2.1 requires plant procedures to be reviewed annually after issuance of an operating license.
On November 3, 1980 a memo was issued from the plant manager to cognizant plant personnel requesting this review commence.
Plant survey la-81-1 conducted January 22, 1981 identified that plant procedures were not being reviewed.
Until correc-tive action is taken on this finding and the licensee completes the review of plant procedures as required by the N-0QAM, this is identified as inspector followup item 327/81-06-08.
