Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspection.
5.
Independent Inspection The inspector reviewed the STRIDE welding QC unit file of Quality Control Investigation Report (QCIR) involving welding related problems.
The QCIR's were reviewed for completeness of description of the problem and the adequacy of the resolution to the problem. One QCIR, No. 24881, identi-fying a structural weld which did not meet the plan requirements had been dispositioned "use as is" without an apparent reason or justification. The licensee agreed that the justification of the "use as is" disposition should be written or referenced on the QCIR. In that this was the only QCIR out of approximately 30 reviewed that did not contain justification for the corrective action; and it had been reviewed and signed by a representative of the design agency responsible for the structure, the inspector informed the licensee that while it was not in noncompliance with the licensee's procedures it was not good practice to answer QCIR's noncompliances or these type of documents with "use as is" dispositions without some sort of justification. The licensee agreed that the QCIR response in question would be justified and that in the future "use as is" dispositions would be explained.
There were no items of noncompliance or deviations in this area of inspection.
6.
ASME Site Implementation Survey On September 26 and 27 the ASME survey team (listed in paragraph 1) con-ducted a site survey to verify the implementation of TVA's ASME QA Program.
The inspector observed the activities of the group which surveyed the receipt inspection, material storage and welding control.
At the conclusion of the survey the team informed TVA that three deficien-cies had been noted which would have to be corrected prior to recommending that the Hartsville site be awarded the certificates of authorization. The time limit set for the correction of the deficiencies was thirty (30) days, with verification to be provided by written report of the results of rein-spection by the Authorized Nuclear Inspector (ANI).
The deficiencies were as follows:
1.
The QCIR's from receipt inspection concerning ASME materials were not being sent to the ANI for review.
2.
Materials in " Hold" status were not physically segregated from ready for issue materials.

Training records for personnel in the document control unit and the welding QC unit did not meet QA manual requirements.
The inspector informed the licensee that the correction of these items would also be reviewed by NRC and for tracking purposes would be identified as inspector follow-up item 50-518, 519, 520, 521/ 79-23-01, ASM2 Site Implementation Survey.
7.
Steel Structures and Supports Welding Material Control The inspector reviewed the licensee's purchase specifications for welding materials.
These specifications are referenced by the purchase orders and contracts to ensure that the materials received meet the design requirements for the site.
Purchase specifications reviewed were as follows:
PF-1012, Rev.
9 - Purchase Specification for Mild Steel Welding Electrodes for Nuclear Power Plant.
PF-1013 Rev.
5 - Purchase Specification for Ni & Ni Alloy Bare Rods and Electrodes.
There were no items of noncompliance or deviations in this area of inspection.
