SUMHARY A U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspection team conducted an announced inspection of Public Service Company of Colorado (PSC), Fort St. Vrain Facility (FSV), on December 1-3, 1992.
The inspection team reviewed FSV quality assurance (QA) activities to determine whether QA procedures have been established, documented, and executed in fulfillment of commitments made in the NRC-approved QA Program.
Inspection findings are based on data collected through review of procedures and controls, inspection of selected documents and records, and interviews with personnel.
The inspection team concluded that im)1ementation of the QA Program was satisfactory, in general. However, tie inspection team identified a violation to 10 CFR 5 21.51, and nonconformances with some aspects of the QA Program.
The items of nonconformance identified are summarized in Table 1.

The inspection team reviewed documentation representing implementation of the QA functions- : The inspection team focused
.
on design, fabrication, use, and maintenance activities concerning transportation packagings with NRC Certificates of Compliance -(C0Cs).
,
The objectives of the NRC inspection were to verify that the QA fuactions were accomplished in compliance with regulatory requirements; to determine if FSV's QA Program complied with-commitments made to.NRC; and_ to_ verify-that the packagings were maintained in 3ccordance with COC requirements.-
The inspection team evaluated-the: performance-of-QA activities from the perspective of three functional control. elements: management, fabrication,.
and maintenance. The inspection team focused on the QA activities regarding the Model No. FSV-1 packaging (C0C No. 6346).-

2.2 Management Controls The inspection of management controls focused primarily on the extent to which FSV has implemented the QA Program, and the independence and proficiency of QA y
personnel responsible for fulfilling QA commitments. The inspection team
-
determined QA program effectiveness by reviewing administrative procedures, inspecting fabrication and maintenance documents, and interviewing staff members.
A violation was identified regarding 10 CFR S 21.51, " Maintenance and inspection of records." This section requires the licensee to assure that records are prepared and maintained to accomplish the purpose of 10 CFR Part 2)
Evaluations of-all deviations and failures to comply should be retained for a minimum of 5 years after the date of evaluation.
-
.
Contrary to the above, certain 10 CFR Part 21 report information could not be located to establish disposition of a possible failure to comply.
Specifically, the 0-rings purchased for use in sealing the Model No. FSV-1 packaging were purchased from Parker Seals; FSV Part 21 Report No. P21-0030,

recorded as being received on 06/21/88 and reviewed on 06/23/88, had the following description:
Certificate of Confirmation for specific Parker Seal shipment potentially falsified.
No documentation could be located by the FSV staff to establish disposition of this issue.
2.3 Fabrication Controls
<
The inspection of fabrication controls focused on the implementation of control measures regarding material procurement, fabrication processes, test
,
and inspection, and tools and equipment. The inspection. team evaluated program effectiveness by interviewing staff members and examining fab-fcation records. Staff members were interviewed for knowledge.of applicable policy and procedures. The documents were reviewed for completeness, adequacy, and
. appropriate approvals.
I There were-no findings in this area.
2.4 M intenance Controls The inspection team reviewed the implementation of the_QA Program in the performance of packaging maintenance. ' Maintenance documents were inspected for completeness and adequacy of scheduled maintenance, actual maintenance performed, and QA Program controls. Compliance with packaging maintenance,.
testing, and inspection requirements was verified.- Documents were reviewed for completeness, adequacy, and appropriate approvals.
Nonconformances-were identified regarding 10 CFR-9 71.111,:" Instructions, procedures, and drawings." This._section requires the licensee _to establish procedures that Linclude appropriate quantitative or-qualitative acceptance
'
criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished. The licensee shall-require that these procedures are followed.
Contrary to the above, the following activities were not conducted in-accordance with established procedures.
'
1.
Procedure FHPWP-300-123,-" Spent Fuel Shipping. Transaction," Task 30,
-
Step 30.8, a Quality Control _ (QC) witness point, requires that a QC person' initial and date the acceptance or replacement of a set of _" Heli-Coils" on.the Model No. FSV-1 packaging. During activities' performed on-
- 10/06/91,..neither initials nor. a date were documented to certify that
<
.
this step had been completed. The procedure step was left blank;-
'
therefore, there is no way to verify-that the QC reouirement had been implemented.
2.
Procedure FHPWP-300-124, " Spent Fuel Shipping Transactions," Task 14, Step 14.2, a QC witness point, requires that the torquing value for the

Inspection Report
Docket No. 71-0346 leveling studs on the Model No. FSV-1 packaging be verified and documented in the procedure. On approximately 50 percent of the records reviewed, the torque value was not documented as required by the procedure.
A nonconformance was identified regarding 10 CFR S 71.123, " Test Control."
This section requfrr3 the licensee to establish procedures that include provisions to assure adequate test instrumentation is available and used. The licensee is required to assure that test requirements have been met.
Contrary to the above, a gauge used to perform leak testing was not documented for future verification.
Specifically, Procedure MPF-1001, " Maintenance Procedure fuel Deck," Section 5, Step 5.9.12, provides guidance for performing the annual preventative maintenance leak test on the Model No FSV-1. A pressure gauge with a tolerance value of i 0.5 psi is required for the leak test. No gauge serial number was documented in the procedure nor in the associated QC Inspection Report (SSR No. 91501306, dated 10/17/91),
The pressure achieved during this test could not be verified by the inspection team for the accuracy that was required in the procedure.
