Containment Structural Steel Welding The RRI reviewed welding /NDE records for Pittsburg DeMoines Contract No. 19744.
QA records for LAMC0 columns AA6, AA9, AA10, AAll, AAl2, AAl4, AA15, AA16 and AA18 were specifically reviewed to determine if all work had been finally accepted.
All records were signed April 17, 1980.

The RRI had no further questions regarding this matter.
All welding /NDE records for LAMC0 columns were reviewed.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
7.
Review of Brown & Root QA Records System The RRI interviewed B&R personnel who are responsible for managing the QA records system.
The current procedure, which describes the records management system, is being rewritten and should be completed by June 23, 1980.
The system was checked to verify: (1) that an index of records was on file; (2) that a personnel access list was published; and (3) that records checked out were adequately protected.
The RRI determined that the above areas were controlled in accordance with procedures; however, records checked out (in one case a whole file cabinet)
were taken to areas outside the storage facility that have no fire orotection, humidity control or other features as required :y NRC Regulatory Gmde 188 and ANSI N45.2.9(9/74), a licensee commitment.
This item is unresolved pending clarification of B&R ST QAP 6.1, paragraph 4.8; i.e., control of records checked out.
The licensee will address this in response to the Show Cause Letter which resulted from Investigation Report No. 50-498/79-19; 50-499/79-19.
(Unresolved Item No. 50-498/80-16.01; 50-499/80-16.01)
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
