2.0. Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Violations (50-387/83-30-21 and 50-388/83-25-21):
Failure of QA Audits to assess the effectiveness of audited activities.
The licensee conducted a reassessment of the audit methodology and philo-sophy to identify the areas of improvements to assure coverage of all Quality Program aspects.
In addition, the licensee increased the NQA surveillances.
The results of these surveillances were factored into subsequent audits in order to improve the overall effectiveness of NQA's assessments. The inspector verified that the licensee has developed and implemented a matrix whereby the elements of a specific audit activity, such as, quality program aspects, plant programs, organization and respon-sibilities, are assessed during the conduct of a specific audit. The lic-ensee's Nuclear Quality Assurance Procedure (NQAP) 9.1, paragraphs 6.4.3.6.2 I
and 6.6.2 delineate the requirement of review and verification of previous audits and surveillances, as well as reporting of the results of the audits of the Functional Units at PP&L. A review of the licensee's Audit Scoping Data indicated that the licensee has implemented the intent of
.
.
NQAP-9.1 in the Nuclear Quality Assurance Program Audits, as applicable.
Based on the review of the licensee's action the inspector determined that the licensee's corrective action is adequate. This item is closed.
3.0. Licensee's Annual Quality Assurance Program Review The effectiveness of the licensee's quality assurance program implementa-tion was assessed by reviewing the safety related activities in Procure-ment; Receipt, storage and handling, and Audit areas.
3.1. Procurement Control Program The licensee has established and implemented the station Administrative Procedure AD - QA - 210, " Procurement Control Activities" to provide adequate control over procurement activities.
This procedure delineates responsibilities for the control of purchased materials, equipment and services, and specifies methods for meeting the Operational Quality Assur-ance requirements.
In addition, each functional unit's procedures detail the steps necessary for complying with these requirements.
Prior to the award of a purchase order contract, Pennsylvania Power and Light Company (PP&L) evaluates the prospective supplier's ability to provide materials, equipment and service which comply with the technical, design, manufacturing and quality requirements.
The licensee compiles and maintains an Approved Supplier Quality List (ASQL) to identify the sup-pliers who were evaluated and qualified for meeting the station quality requirements. The list is maintained and periodically updated by the Material Control Section.
The Technical Procurement Group performs the technical and QA review in accordance with Specification P1003, Technical Requirements for the Pro-curement of Spare Parts.
This group identifies the quality classification of equipment, such as safety-related, Fire-Protection and env' onmentally qualified; specifies design responsibility and criteria, special proces-ses, Nondestructive Examination, testing, acceptance criteria, special conditions and Hold points, 10 CFR 21 requirements and supplier quality requirements; and initiates Management Action Requests for unqualified Class 1E items which require tracking.
The inspector reviewed the following completed licensee design changes packages and tracked the procurement and requisition of selected items related to these plant modifications.
82-0186, 250V DC system 84-3061, FDDR KR2-553, Install 250 MCM Insulated Copper Cable in Instrument Ground buses in PGCC Modules
.
.
84-3095, Primary Containment Atmosphere Control 85-3045, Liquid Radwaste Collection 85-3100A, ATWS-ARI-Mechanical Control Valve Installation The original complete design change packages for these plant modifications were maintained at the Susquehanna Record Management System at the corpo-rate office and were not available at the site.
However, the inspector obtained the Material Request / Issues and the Plant Procurement Request documentation for these modifications from the Material Control Section and verified that the material issued for the related construction Work Orders were traceable and the controls were adequate.
3.2. Receipt, Storage and Handling Program for Equipment and Materials The licensee station Administrative Procedure AD-QA-200, Material Control Activities delineates responsibilities for receipt inspection, storage, handling, in-store maintenance, transfer, and shipping of materials, parts and components and describes methods for meeting the quality requirements.
In addition, procedures QAP-11.2, ' Receiving Inspection', QAP-11.3,
' Sampling Plan', and QAP-11.4, ' Training, Qualification and certification of QC Inspectors', provide assurance that the materials, components and equipment are properly identiff ed; these items meet the pre-determined inspection requirements; and certificates of Compliance are available to attest the acceptability requirements.
The Material Control Section has also developed and implemented procedure MC-01-011,' Shelf-Life Program'to identify and preserve age-sensitive safety-related components in the SSES J
Warehouse. These procedures provide controls to prevent damage and loss or deterioration by environmental conditions, such as temperature or humidity, and specify the personnel qualifications required to accomplish the desired activities. The SSES Warehouse has provision for Class B
Environmental Control storage area to store equipment, such as electronics i
parts, chemical and reagents requiring controlled environmental condi-l tions. Access to the warehouse facilities is administratively controlled, l
and an access authorization is required for non-storeroom personnel. The Warehouse is being reorganized for better material control and handling.
The inspector reviewed on a sampling basis, the following Receipt Inspec-tion Reports (RIRs) for the procurement of certain items identified in the construction Work Orders associated with the design change packages dis-cussed in paragraph 3.1.82-303, dated 05-11-82 84-837, dated 04-03-84 I

The nonconforming material is then segregated until proper engin-eering disposition is provided.
The inspector reviewed RDRs shown below on a sampling basis and verified that the engineering dispositions were adequate.
RDR RIR Engineering Disposition 105 85-446 Use - As Is 258 85-985 Reject 322 85-1267 Use - As - Is/ Rework The inspector also reviewed the training and qualification of the 3-QC inspectors conducting receipt inspection at SSES Warehouse.
The indivi-dual qualification and certification documentation supported that these individuals were certified in accordance with ANSI N45.2.6-1978.
The inspector toured the storage area, reviewed the stored items listed below and verified that related procurements information such as equipment Catalog No., Part No., Quality Classification, shelf-life requirements, and storage location were accurately recorded in the warehouse computer i
system.

The responsibility for the conduct of QA Audits dur+ng the operation phase is also established in these documents The licensee Nuclear QA Audit Group is responsible for planning, scheduling and per-forming operation QA Audits at SSES. The audit team employs services of various audit consultants. The prerequisites associated with the quali-fication of auditors are delineated in the licensee's Nuclear Quality Assurance Procedure (NQA)-9.1, ' Audits'. The auditors are required to prepare a comprehensive audit checklist to insure depth ard continuity of audits, and inclusion of verification of corrective action for previously identified deficiencies, nonconformances and observations.
Subsequent to l
the conclusion of the audit, an audit report is generated and any noncom-l pliance is documented as an audit finding.
Upon approval by the Manager i
Nuclear Quality Assurance or designee, the audit report is distributed t.o (
the audited organization, plant superintendent and other higher level
'
management.
The inspector reviewed the following NQA audits,on a sampling basis, for program compliance.
