Unlesolved Items Unre.01ved items were not identified during this inspection.
5.
Inspector Follow-up Items (Closed) Inspector Follow-up Item (395/79-14-01): Engineering eval-a.
uatirn of deficient anchor bolt installation. The inspector reviewed the engineering evaluation of NCN No. 722 for support SWH-111. The licensee has determined that the support would have functioned satis-factorily without the one Hilti bolt wedged in place. The licensee and constructor are performing inspections of piping support and electrical supports to assure proper Hilti bolt installations. The problem of Hilti bolt installations has been reported to Region II as s 50.55(e) (see paragraph 8.C of this report). This item is closed.
b.
(Closed) Inspector Follow-up Item (395/79-26-01): Recording cause on SCE&G NCNS. The licensee has revised the nonconformance notice form to require a specific section for recording the cause of nonconfor-mances.
The inspector revieied three recent nonconformance notices (878C, 877E, and 876C) to arsure that cause is recorded on the non-conformance form. The inspector has no further questions on this matter. This item is closed.
6.
Independent Inspection Effort a.
Compliance with 10 CFR 21 (1) General The purpose of this inspection was to ascertain whether SCE&G and appropriate responsible officers had established and implemented procedures and other instructions as required to ensure compli-ance with 10 CFR 21 requirements relative to the reporting of defects and noncompliances.
Inspector determinations are bated on the requirements of 10 CFR 21 as clarified by staff positions in NUREG-0302, Revision 1.
(2) Documents Reviewed (a) Nuclear Engineering Procedure No. NE-123, Rev. 5, Processing and Disposition of Potential Significant Deficiencies.
(b) Qualify Assurance Procedure No. 25, Reporting Unanticipated Occurrences to the NRC.

(3) Program Review and Implementation - SCE&G The inspectors reviewed the above noted controlling procedures.
The inspectors review of SCE&G procedures revealed the following problems:
(a) SCE&G has not developed and implemented appropriate proce-dures to assure the following:
deviations are evaluated (21.21(a)(1)); the Director or responsible officer is in-formed of all Part 21 affirmative evaluations (21.21(a)
(2)); the written report to the Commission contains the required information (21.21 (b)(3)); cnd the required records are maintained (21.51). The licensee, in lieu of the above requirements, had treated 10 CFR 21 in the same manner an 10 CFR 50.55 (e). Paragraph 5.6 of reference 6a(2) (a) permitted treatment of 10 CFR 21 noncompliances and defects in this manner and the licensee practiced this in the handling of noncompliances and defects. The inspec-tors informed SCE&G that this was an item of noncompliance.
This item is identified as an infraction 395/79-30-09, 10 CFR Part 21 procedures.
(b) SCE&G has not identified in procedures the responsible officer who is vested with executive authority over activi-ties subject to 10 CFR Part 21.
In discussions between the inspectors and SCE&G, SCE&G indicated that all officers are responsible officers.
The inspectors informed SCE&G that NRC requires that the responsible officer (s) be specifically delineated in procedures to assure compliance with 10 CFR Part 21 regulations. This aspect of the regulations will be reviewed again in conjunction with the licensees corrective action for the infraction identified in paragraph 6 a(3)(a).
b.
The inspector conducted a walk-through inspection of the reactor, auxiliary, and intermediate buildings; observed construction activi-ties, construction progress, and work practices, and talked to various craft and inspection personnel.
.e Within the areas examined, no items of noncompliance or deviations were
'
identified.
