3.

Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings

a.

(Closed) Unresolved (261/79-19-10):

Inadequate duplicate QA records

storage. The licensee met the NRC position stated in the 79-19 report

by providing duplicate storage of QA records and vendor surveillance

audit records on the 6th and 18th floors which exceeds the six floor

separation criteria.

b.

(Open) Unresolved (261/79-19-06):

Failure to establish a program of

trend evaluation. This item was reviewed and found close to comple

tion.

The electrical portion has not been developed as of this

inspection,

but the licensee stated that the program should be

completed by October and procedures completed by the end of December

1981.

This item has been reviewed in three previous inspections

(261/80-06,

22,

25)

and due to various problems, dates given by the

licensee have not been met.

This matter is .addressed in the trans

mittal letter for this report.

5. QA Program Review (35701)

OQA-81-026, dated 3/18/81 to NRC Division of Licensing

(b) CQAD-3,

Procedure

for

Collection,

Storage,

and

Maintenance of QA Audit Records, Revision 0 dated 4/81

Reference (a) outlines a complete change in the CP&L QA/QC organization to

include both corporate and site organizations.

In addition, it consolidates

and restates a-11 CP&L commitments in QA/QC.

Individuals at the site and

3

corporate offices were questioned as to their understanding of the new

organization and commitments made in reference (a).

The Corporate QA/QC

Performance Evaluation Team was on site prior to and during this inspection.

Most of the concerns the inspector found had already been identified by the

CP&L corporate team.

The inspector also observed the CP&L team in the

performance of their audit.

Based on this review, one open item and two inspector followup items were

identified.

a. Failure to Maintain Qualification Examinations

ANSI N45.2.23 requires examinations to be given to lead auditors and

states that these examinations may be administered by an independent

certifying agency but must be maintained by the employer.

CP&L is

using vendor training and examinations as a portion of the qualifica

tion for lead auditors. Upon completion of the course the attendee is

presented a Certificate of Completion, but the licensee has not been

maintaining or reviewing for quality the vendor administered examina

tions. Until such time that the licensee obtains copies of the

examinations and reviews them for adequacy, this will be carried as an

inspector followup item (261/81-25-01).

b.

Conflict Between Procedure and Implementation

Reference (b) states that the duplicate storage of QA records in the

corporate office is maintained on the 9th and 18th floors, when in

fact the records are stored on the 6th and 18 floors.

The licensee

committed to change the procedure to correctly describe the record

location.

c. Procedure for 10 CFR 21 Evaluations

AI 13.4, Instruction for Compliance to 10 CFR 21,

Revision 13 dated

8/81, states that QAP 9 shall be used for 10 CFR 21 evaluations. When

the QA/QC Department reorganized, the site QA/QC group rewrote all of

their procedures and gave part of their 10 CFR 21 evaluation responsi

bility to the site Regulatory Compliance Group.

(1) QAP 9 was cancelled and replaced by QAP 104, 10 CFR 21 Screening,

Revision 1 dated 8/81

(2) QAP 104 does not delineate the 10 CFR 21 evaluations for which

QA/QC is responsible versus Regulatory Compliance responsibility.

(3)

Regulatory Compliance is using QAP 9 to make their required

10 CFR 21 evaluations. The licensee provided a target date of

January 1, 1982 for changing AI 13.4 to show the correct procedure
