QA Program - Audit Implementation (35741 and 40704)

E The inspector reviewed the completed and projected operational audit schedules of both units for years 1987, 1988, 1989, and the first six

,

months of -1990, and verified that the areas audited or to-be audited and.

l the: audit frequencies identified within that time frame were consistent i

,

'

p

with Vogtle's

TS requirements and FSAR commitments.

e=

The inspector reviewed the following recently completed audits:

The above audit reports were examined to verify the following conditions:

!

• Audit; check lists were prepared, approved and used for the audits

• Auditor independence and qualification was evident

' Audit-findings were valid and thoroughly documented

.

The audited organization's response to audit findings was in

,

writing, was' timely,-addressed root cause, stated specific action j

to correct deficiencies and adequately addressed the finding and L

recommendations:

<

l-

• Appropriate followup actions (including reaudit, if necessary) were i

taken or are scheduled for implementation I-Within this area, no violations or deviations.were identified.

3.

QA Program - Records-Implementation (35748B)-

l LThe General Manager, Nuclear Operations, has the overall responsibility for the policy and - proper operation of the Records Administration

!

Program.

The records-storage facilities (vaults) are located on the

'..

.second and third floors ~of the Service Building and are designed to meet

' ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 requirements.

The inspector conducted a walk through of,both vaults, verifying that environmental conditions were satisfactory, i

examining the-storage condition of various records, the controls placed on access to records, and the methods used for accountability of records removed from the storage facilities.

The computer data based " NORMS"

. indexing system, identifies as a minimum record retention times and the

,

record storage location.

The NORMS system was explained and demonstrated to: the inspector.

The: inspector interviewed personnel responsible for

!

.the records management program and verified that program responsibilities and requirements were understood and followed.

The following Unit 2 startup test records were retrieved from the vault and examined for basic content and completeness.

The inspector verified that.the vendors selected for the above purchase corders were approved suppliers, that documentation required by the above purchase orders was received, reviewed and accepted by PRG personnel, that the inspections were: properly documented and identified discrepancies were appropriately resolved.

The ~ inspector toured the Operations Warehouse facility, Warehouse E, the South Yard, and the YD-13A, and YD-14 storage areas to determine if storage

!

levels were being maintained.in accordance with approved procedures, and i

I

. that items therein were being stored properly.

The West end of Warehouse E contains a minimal amount of construction procured items that have been-transferred to operations and are being used

-

as needed for. spare parts. The South Yard contains electrical cable that has been carefully selected and procured 'from construction by Nuclear Operations. - 011 is stored at YD-13A and YD-14 is-being utilized by operations as a structural steel laydown area.

The operations warehouse facility consists of a Level A and a Level B storage area.

It also contains a separate level B storage area for chemicals and oils, a

. separate Level B storage area for receipt inspections and provisions for

.

outside (Level D) storage.

A calibrated temperature and humidity monitor with chart recorder was monitoring environmental conditions in the Level A storage area and examination of the recorder revealed allowable limits were being maintained.

Shelf life items are tracked on a computer data base capable of providing a report on those items whose shelf life expiration dates were approaching.

The-inspector did ~ note that several drums of safety-related carbon filter m' ; material had at shelf. life of 6/1/2008 printed on their tags whereas-the drums themselves were stenciled with an expiration date of May 94.

.-

t Recheck - of = the manufactures documentation provided revealed the May 94 i

shelf life date was correct. ' Likewise examination of the existing computer

!

shelf life program. revealed the filter material was also based on the May l

94 date. Consequently, this isolated typo error had no safety-significance

-

because theiroutine monthly item expiration printout would have-correctly identified the filter material as expired in May 1994.

- There appears to. be proper control of access to storage areas, protection-

!

from-damage during storage is adequate, and stored items were identified

and stored at the proper level. During the operations warehouse tour the

-

-

inspector ' examined numerous safety-related items to verify that

!,

Jtagging/ marking requirements were being met.

The inspector selected the

"

L following specific safety-related items to-assure traceablity existed back L

to the purchase' order and that quality certification documentation was on record.

The_ inspector examined:Vogtle's controls.that were placed on Nonconforming Items that were stored in the warehouse.

Examination of the Nonconforming Items Listing. revealed there were very few items in this status because t

problem items are: usually detected at receiving' inspection and are not

'

'

issued ~to the warehouse.

These items remain segregated in the receiving-

,m'

area until the noncorforming condition is_ either resolved or the item is

'

L returned to-the vendor. The few nonconforming items that did exist in the warehouse remained:in their assigned bin locations and were clearly marked with nonconforming hold - tags.

The inspector did note a' marginably acceptable storage condition involving weld rod identified by Hold Tag 88-126' that was stored in Bin LL-31-A. -This questionable weld rod was

'

stored on the same pallet with. acceptable weld rod that eventually could m

have possibly resulted in undesirable commingling.

When brought to the Materials Section personnel's attention they enhanced

,

E the' isolation of the nonconforming weld rod by moving it on to a separate

_ pallet and placing it. in a new storage bin.

The subject weld rod was futher highlighted by encircling the questionable containers with yellow and black plastic tape.

Within this area, no violations or devations were identified.

The licensee's response dated August 24, 1989, was considered acceptable by Region II.

REA-7604 was closed and a new REA-9040 was generated to-initiate engineering documentation and FSAR changes.

SCS letter by-L W. C.: Ramsey Jr., to C. C. Miller, _ Manager of Engineering Vogtle Project

-- Nuclear : 0perations 'provides the response to REA-9040 concerning engineering's evaluation of the oversized P-90 seals.

This transmital states an engineering evaluation (Calculation N0. X4C2301S256).

'

performed confirms that the oversized P-90 penetration seals have an

~ installed configuration which precludes fire propagation thru penetrations

!

iir combination-radiation / fire barriers.

Calculation N0. 2CK11.122 also

.

confirms that these seals will also withstand the elevated pressures due l

to _ postulated pipe breaks.

Engineering determined that no modification of: the seals was necessary. - Licensing Document Change Request No. FS89-094 was approved by the GM on October 18, 1989, to update Appendices 9A

'

and 9B of the FSAR to reflect correct penetration seal configuration.

-

The inspector concluded that the licensee had determined the full extent of. the. violation, taken action to correct current conditions, and

,

developed corrective ~ actions needed to preclude recurrence of similar.

problems. : Corrective-actions stated in the licensee response have been-implemented.
