APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power and Light Company St. Lucie, Unit 2 License No.
CPPR-144 Based on the NRC inspection May 15-18, 1979, certain of your activities were apparently not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indicated below.
These items have been categorized as described in correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
A.
As required by Criterion XVII of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, and implemented by FPRL Topical, FPLTgAR 1-76A, Section 17, Paragraph 17.1 specifies in part that sufficient records shall be maintained to furnish documented evidence of activities affecting their quality.
Paragraph gM-201.2 of ASME Section IX requires that the specific facts involved in qualifying a weld procedure specification (WPS) be recorded in a procedure qualification record (PgR).
0 Contrary to the above, on May 16, 1979 certain code required specific facts (essential/nonessential variables) were found recorded in PgR's in terms of ranges or had been omitted.
These variables included amps and volts, gas cup size, purge, shield gas flow, preheat, joint design and where a combina-tion of weld processes were involved, the weld metal thickness deposited by each process was not specified.
r This is a deficiency.
B.
As required by Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, and implemented by FP&L Topical, FPLTgAR 1-76A, Section 5, paragraph 5.1 specifies in part that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with instructions, procedures or drawings.
Contrary to the above, on May 17, 1979 in the area of welder performance qualifications, two (2) instances were identified where either code or procedural requirements were not being followed.
(1)
Radiographic procedure f19.3, Revision 1, requires that radiographs of welds be uniquely identified (number, date, etc.) and that the radiographic indications observed by the interpreter be recorded on the appropriate form.
On May 17, the inspector noted that radiographs of welder perfor-mance qualification test coupons were not being appropriately identified and the acceptable/rejectable type indications found in the welds were not being recorded on the form.

Florida Power and Light Company Appendix A Notice of Violation (2)
Paragraph
(}W-303.6 of ASME Section IX specifies that "Welders who make fillet-welds on a pipe or tube less than 2-7/8 inches outside diameter must pass the pipe fillet weld test per gW-452.4", (e.g.,
macro and fracture tests).
On May 17, welder performance qualification record (P(R) for a fillet-weld test on WPS-43F, performed using a 1/2 inch
- pipe, showed results for the fracture test only while the macro test portion had been omitted and marked "N/A".
This is an infraction.
