Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings _

-a.

(0 pen) Noncompliance (373/81-16-01):

Procurement documents

~

failed to impose the quLlity assurance program requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

The inspector found that procurement L

documents still fail to impose the quality assurance program l

requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

The licensee appears i.

to categorize all safety related material that is classified

" commercial as not requiring processing in accordance with

.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B or any quality assurance program criteria.

The commercial classification does not eliminate the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

In addition, the licensee states in Paragraph 7.0 of Quality Procedure 4-51, Revision 2,

"For ASME Code and Safety Related procurements, the following statement shall be included in the purchase requisition (purchase order) or associated procurement docutments:

Vendor to certify i

l that items / services supplied in this Purchase Order were provided 1'

in accordance with the requirements of his currently approved Quality Assurance Program." The following purchase orders are examples of omissions of quality assurance program requirements:

(Closed) Open Item (373/81-16-02): Procedural discrepancies.

The-licensee has +;evised Quality Procedure No. 4-51, removing the statement that the buyer authorizes shipment for use and installation. The licensee also revised Quality Procedure-2-

M-No. 15-51, removing the engineering disposition requirement and

- the' deferring of the hold tag. The new procedures are Quality

. Procedure No. 4-51, May 15, 1981, Revision 11, Procurement Document Control for Operations - Processing Purchase Documents

.and Quality Procedure No. 15-51, May 15, 1981, Revision 10, Non-

-

conforming Materials Parts and Components for Operations - Spare

. Parts.and Materials.

c.

(0 pen)' Noncompliance (373/81-22-08): Quality Control personnel did not have documented certifications required by ANSI N45.2.6-1973.

'A procedure has been written and approved, LAP 1700-2, Revision 0,

>

August 31, 1981, requiring Quality Control inspection personnel to zbe certified to ANSI N45.2.6.

This certification will be documented by September 28, 1981.

d.

-(Closed) Unresolved Item (50-373/81-22-10):

Several numbers for

,

gauges used_in receipt inspections were not being recorded. A l

procedure has been approved and implemented, LTP 800-3, Revision 5, August-20, 1981, requiring that calibration gauges and instrument identification numbers be recorded on the Quality Receipt Inspec-

ancy. Quality Procedure 10-54,-Inspection for Operations, t

Receiving Inspection and LTP 800-3, Receiving Inspectica of ASME

'

Code-and Safety Related Items have been revised, removing the reference to the licensee placing a traceability number on items.

Qt.ality Procedure No. 10-54 was revised on July 10, 1981, and i

LTP-800-3 on August 20, 1981.

-

f.

(0 pen) Unresolved-Item (50-373/81-22-12):

Surveillances of

receipt handling and unloading was not being done and a rigging

. inspection program had not been established. The licensee has L

begun surveillances of handling / unloading but a formalized, l

' documented rigging inspection program has not been implemented

'as required by ANSI N45.2.2-1974, Paragraph 7.4.

g.

(0 pen) Unresolved Item (373/81-22-09): Material request informr-tion inadequate. Commonwealth Edison's material request process

needs improvement, as material is requisitioned without complete information concerning the description of the items.

Typical examples of information left off material requests were:

(1) Material Specifications (2) Classification of Items - ASME B and PV Code into Classes 1, 2, or 3, and Safety Related.

The' store supervisor is aware of the material categories and re-quirements of the ASME B and PV Code, Safety Related, and nonsafety related classifications but storeroom personnel, especially personnel who are issuing material, need to be trained in the classification of items and material specifications. By being familiar with these categories, the material request process and issuance of material-can be more easily controlled.

modification summaries to be in place in the computer for regen-eration'as part of annual report, however, the program was not in

_

.existance.at the time of the inspection. During a_ followup inspection, the inspector discussed the above with a member of

.

the technical staff. The computerized report has been scrapped

'

due to the inability to. include sufficient information and sorting

. programs. The inspector reviewed two draft procedures which ac-complish the required reporting manually.

LTP 300-13, Annual'

Reviewfof Completed Safety Related Modifications, compiles a. report summary of-plant modifications for' inclusion zu the annual report.

LTP 200-1. Revision-2, NRC Annual Report, has been revised to include the plant modification summary in with the list of items to be included.

'i.

[(Open)~UnresolvedItem(373/81-22-01): Calibrated hydrometer floats to verify technical specification requirement s for station batteries. The inspector discussed various methods of calibrating floatsuor obtaining certified floats with a~ representative of the L

technical staff..A meeting is currently scheduled for the end of September to resolve the problem.

oj.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (373/81-22-03): Electrical groups torque wrench No. E-129 was not included on OAD master calibration list.

The inspector verified that the subject torque wrench has now been included on the OAD master calibration list issued in April 1981.

,

k.

-(Closed) Unresolved Item (373/81-22-04):

LAP 300-10 stated that receipt inspection of test and measuring equipment from OAD shall

.be made by personnel from the respective maintenance shops.

In

.

practice, the receipt inspection would be made by QC personnel.

The inspector reviewed LAP 300-10, Revision 5, which has been changed to reflect the actual receipt inspection method.

i 1.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (373/81-22-05): Certain dial indicators which have no manufacture's serial numbers did not have traceable certification documentation from the supplier. These instrumeuts are now assigned a trace number and calibration checked onsite using procedure LMPGM-04 prior to use. This provides traceability to standards present on site which are traceable to N3S.

m.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (373/81-22-06): Test and experiments with appropriate safety evaluation were not included in the make up of the NRC. annual report. LTP 200-1, Revision 2, has been revised to include test and experiments with respective safety evaluations in the annual report as a method to comply with 10 CFR 50.59

n.

(0 pen) Unresolved Item (373/81 22-18): Battery Surveillance data sheets do not provide for recrrding the identification numbers of test instruments used to obtain data. These Jata sheets have not been revised pending'the outcome of resolucion of the traceable certified hydrometer prablem (373/81-22-02).

I (0 pen) Noncompl'ence (50-373/81-22-13): Quality Assurance records o.

were stored in a non-fire rated room in the basement of the service building. Some records such as strip charts and radiographs were moved to the records vault where proper storage is afforded. The balance of the records remain in the room where they will be micro-filmed.

The room is dedicated to the purpose of microfilming station records and storage there is intended to be of a short duration, sufficient to allow orderly processing. Although microfilming operations have begun, there have been problems with the camera. As a result, little progress has been made at eliminating the backlog of records which await microfilming. This item will remain open until normal micro-filming operations have resumed and the backlog has been eliminated.

A second example of this noncompliance was the central file room

.

failing to meet the fire protection criteria of NFPA-232, 1975 edition. This matter is addressed in Commonwealth Edison's letter dated August 7,1981 replying to Inspection Report No. 50-373/81-22, an in the NRC's response to that letter.

'

-p.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (50-373/81-22-14): Failure to adequately describe the Quality Assurance records storage area, and to require by procedure that hard copy records received by the central file room are in good condition.

LAP 810-3 was revised to satisfy both items described above.

q.

(0 pen) Unresolved Item (50-373/81-22-16): No administrative system to manage non periodic surveillances. A system of assign-ment of each Technical Specification (T.S.) surveillance to a department, and of cross-referencing each surveillance with the procedure which governs it is in progress. This cross-reference will be reviewed in detail during a subsequent inspection.

Since T.S. requirements can change up to shortly before license issuance, this cross-reference is not likely to be completed by that time.

Therefore, the applicant has agreed to include the completion of the procedure cross-reference in LLP 3-81 as and item to be completed prior to fuel loading. This item will remain open until the carrent status of the cross-reference is inspected in detail and the item is included in LLP 3-81.

3.

Exit Interview The inspectors met with the, Quality Control Supervisor on September 14, 1981 and with the Lead QA Engineer and the AITS coordinator on September 17 and 18, 1981 and summarized the findings in each area.
