10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion IX as implemented by Section,9 of FP&L Topical Report
( FP&L-TQAR1-76A), requires measures be established to assure that special processes including welding are controlled.
Site Quality Procedure SQP-8, Revision 3,
"Storage and Distribution of Welding Filler Material", requires all unused welding filler material to be returned to the Weld Rod Control Room.
SQP-8 further requires "Weld 'Material Requisition Reports" to be properly annotated and approved.
SQP-8 and FP&L ASME Quality Assurance Manual,'QR 9.2 PSL-2, Revision 3,
"Storage and Distribution of Welding Material" requires heated portable rod ovens to be used for covered electrodes.
FP&L Site Quality Procedure SQP-39, Revision 3, "Field Welding Control", requires preheat temperature to be controlled.
Welding Procedure Specification 15, Revision 0, requires bead width for 1/8-i nch diameter type E-7018 electrodes not to exceed 3/4-inch maximum.
Welding Procedure Specification 50, Revision 4, requires bead width for 1/8-inch diameter Type E-308-16 electrodes not to exceed 5/8-inch maximum.
Contrary to the above, on August 18-21,
- 1981, measures were inadequate to control welding in that:
1.
Twenty-two unused 3/32-inch diameter type E-7108 electrodes were abandoned in the auxiliary building.

The welders of record for CC-2079-0038 and STL-G-799-110 did not have a
properly annotated and approved "Weld Material Requisition Report".
Four portable rod ovens, containing cold type E-7018 electrodes were unplugged inoperative or abandoned.
4.
The welders of records for weld joint No.
STL-G-799-049 did not know the preheat requirements for that weld joint or have the means to measure the specified preheat temperatures 5.
The single bead cover pass on weld joint No.
