A.
10 CFR 50. Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions,.deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.
Contrary to the above, between March 14, 1996. and April 1, 1998, the licensee failed to correct a condition adverse to quality in that repetitive examples of a failure.to perform a quality assurance review prior to issuance of engineering instructions occurred. Specifically, the licensee identified three temporary modifications and twelve minor modifications, which were approved during that period, with engineering instructions that did not receive the required quality assurance review prior to issuance.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. Criterion V. Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, requires that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances, and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Contrary to the above, as of February 11, 1998, approved Quality Assurance Piping Layout configuration control drawings were not followed in that the installed Unit 2 plant vent airborne particulate and iodine sampler radiation indicating alarm (RIA-43. RIA-44) inlet sample line was not constructed following bend radius as specified in drawing 0-440A. Revision 37 and 0-440B, Revision 38. Piping Layout Plan Elevation 838'-0" Auxiliary Building, dated October 9, 1970.
