Licensee Preservice Ins ection PSI Audits The inspector reviewed selected licensee audit reports related to preservice inspection contractor activities at the Susquehanna site.
These were con-sidered with respect to areas audited, findings and method of close out of nonconforming items.
The following were included in the inspector's review:
Audit number 86, January 28-29, 1980 Audit number 86A, March 28, 1980 Audit number 90, April 28 to June 5,
1980 Audit number 90A, June 16-17, 1980 Audit number 95, August 11-18, 1980 The above listed audits of Nuclear Energy Services Incorporated (NES)
reported significant findings in the following areas:
Personnel certification Equipment calibration
Level III evaluation of examination results Calibration block identification and material certification Noncompliance with the PSI program plan Noncompliance with NDE implementing procedures The inspector found that earlier audit findings were closed out, with one exception, by subsequent audits at the NES home office in Danbury, Connecticut.
The exception to the above involved the close out of item A3 of audit 86.
Audit 86A was the close out vehicle and appeared to omit the part of the finding as it rel'ated to the visual inspection certification of an NES employee assigned to the Susquehanna site as the NES Site Supervisor.
Dis-cussions with licensee personnel indicated that, in hi.s capacity as site supervisor, the individual had no visual inspection responsibility at the Susquehanna
.site and, therefore, his certification was no longer considered relevant.
The inspector had no further questions concerning this matter.
The inspector noted that approximately 15 nonconforming items were disclosed by licensee audit number 95 which was conducted by a four member team of licensee representatives including a licensee consultant.
This in-depth audit is not yet closed and has resulted in a voluntary cessation of activi-ties by NES.
The licensee stated that PSI work will not resume pending satisfactory resolution to the nonconforming items reported by the audit
,team.
In addition, the licensee stated that subsequent in-depth audits of the PSI contractor will be conducted to assure compliance with applicable codes and requirements.
No items of noncompliance were identified.
