l Docket'No. 50-346 l
Certain of your activities appear to be in violation of AEC regulations r
and in nonconformance with your quality assurance program, as identified below:
1.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendir. B, Criterion XV, states, in part, that:
'
i
" Measures shall be established to control materials, parts, or-components which do not conform to requirements in order to
_ prevent their inadvertent ' use or-installation.
These measures shall include, as appropriate, precedures for identification, documentation, segregation, disposition, and notification to
,
affected o,rganizations'.
."
...
.
The Tolado Edison Quality Assurance Manual provides for issuance of a nonconformance report when nonconforming material, components,
>
'
or equipment is detected.
.
Contrary to the above requirements, nonconforming Class I piping was not identified or. segregated upon receipt at the site to prevent its inadvertent use or installation. Moreover, a noncon-formance report relating to this material had not been issued.
'
2.-
10 QUL Part 50.55(e) requires, in part, that the holder of a construction permit shall promptly notify the appropriate Atomic
,
Energy Commission Regional Office and submit a written report, l
within 30 days, to the Director of Regulatory Operations of a significant deficiency.in construction which, were it to have
,
'
remained uncorrected, could have affected adversely the safety of operations of the plant at any time throughout the expecred
lifetime ofEthe plant and which represents a significant break-
down in'any portion of the quality assurance program conducted
!
in accordance with the requirements of Appendix B.
i
~
i
'
Contrary to the above requirements, the Atomic Energy Commission
"
!
was not promptly notified, nor was a written report submitted, l~
coveri,ng a significant number of spools of shop fabricated Class l
.I piping which were found to have been tack welded by velding personnel-not qualified in accordance with the applicable codes.
Furthermore,.the use of unqualified welders during fabrication
,
of the subject piping indicates a significant breakdown in the
'
,
manufacturer's quality assurance program.
