(2) Welding Procedures The inspector reviewed procedures to verify that the licensee had established procedures for preparation, qualification, approval, certification and issue of welding procedure specifications (WPSs).

Although administrative procedures were available for issue and

.

I control of WPSs, and general special processes control procedures specified WPS qualification in accordance with ASME Section IX, a procedure covering details of WPS qualification had not been issued. The licensee stated that a procedure was in draf t form

'

and would be issued in the near future. Pending review of the procedure after issue Inspector Followup Item 416/85-32-01, Issue of WPS Qualification Procedure, is opene !
