2 (Closed) Inspector Followup Item (413, 414/82-06-02) Verification of improved mechanical QC inspector qualification program. The inspector verified that the licensee has implemented an improved program. The new program includes specific categorization of inspector The inspector noted on April 7, 1982 that extensive water and mineral seepage was occurring into the auxiliary building at elevation #52 Discussions with the licensee revealed that this seepage had been evaluated in 1977 and documented by letter from M. C. Green to 0. Beam dat rd October 6,1977. However, based on the irispector's review of the 1 censee's documentation it appears that this evaluation only addressec additional water inventory caused by the seepage and did not address corrosive effects on installed equipmen The licensee indicated that further evaluation would be performe This is an Unresolved Item (413/82-10-01, 414/82-04-01 - Evaluation of ground water seepage into auxiliary building).

No violations or deviations were identifie . Nonconforming Item Reports Review The inspector reviewed numerous nonconforming item reports (NCI's) to determine if requirements were met in the ares of documentation, approvals, evaluation, justification, and corrective actio On April 8,1982 the inspector noted that the disposition / evaluation of NCI No.13,781 appeared to be inadequate. This NCI documents discrep-ancies found on Class A pressurizer relief valves caused by the vendo The NCI identifies defects, e.g. slag on welds and cracks which are rejectable to the applicable Code (ASME III, 77S78). The initial licensee evaluation dated February 11, 1982 indicated that the defects were acceptable to the code requirement The licensee indicated verbally that they felt that the cracks were not present in the valves, however, one area was being further evaluated. This further evaluation is described in the licensee's second evaluation dated March 12, 198 The first evaluation was not rescinde In addition, licensee Vendor Surveillance Report dated February 11, 1982 states that "the problems as noted on the NCI do exist." No evaluation is identified concerning the vendor. This evaluation is necessary since the required liquid penetrant inspection could not have been properly performed by the vendor with slag on the weld Slag on the welds is a Code rejectable defec Licensee Construction Quality Assurance Program Procedure 01, Control of Nonconforming Items, Rev.16 requires dis-position / evaluations of NCI's to be clear, complete and contain proper technical content. The above NCI is in noncompliance with this procedure in that the disposition / evaluation appears to accept Code rejectable defects and no evaluation of the vendor is specified. This is a Violation (413/82-10-02, 414/82-04-02 failure to follow procedure for corrective action concerning Class A pressurizer relief valves).
