ever ity Level V Violation 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion VIII as implemented by PSAR Section 1.8.5.8; CP&L Corporate QA Program, Section 5 and Construction Procedures AP-XIII-08 and CQC-7, requires that mat'erials, parts and components be identified and controlled to prevent the use of incorr ect or deficient materials, parts. and components.
Contrary to the above, safety-related and,nonsafety-related traveling screen guides used in the Emergency Service Water Intake Structure were not controlled so as to prevent their incorrect use.
On September 10,
- 1981, the inspector obser ved that safety-related and nonsafety-related screen guides were tagged
, with QA acceptance tags and stored together in the laydown area and that at the intake structure where the screen guides were being installed, safety and non-safety related guides were stored together or were not properly identified so as to distinguish safety-related screen guides from nonsafety-related screen guides.
Denial or Admission and Reasons for Violation:
. The violation is correct as stated.
The screen guides were not adequately marked so a distinction between "Q" or "Non-Q" could be made.
Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved:
Deficiency and Disposition Report (DDR) number 674 was issued on September 14, 1981, for control and resolution of this nonconformance.
The screen guides were placed on QA Hold status pending resolution.
The vendor was contacted and the following was discovered:
1.
Both "Q" and "Non-Q" screen guides for the Shearon Harris Project received QA inspection.
This was a result of the guides being galvanized.
2.
The "Non-Q'uides are manufactured identically to the "Q" guides with a difference only in the degree of inspection.
However, in our case they received the same inspection.
3.
The vendor is supplying heat numbers and documentation for the "Non-Q" guides; In addition, the vendor will supply documentation verifying that the "Non-Q" guides also meet seismic design criteria.
The screen guide vendor is supplying sufficient documentation to upgrade the "Non-Q" guides to "Q" guides.
This documentation is expected by December 1,
1981.
Corrective Steps. Taken to Avoid Further Noncom liance:
In general, "look alike" material is ordered to the highest quality/design require-ment when it is not readily identifiable/controlled in the field and the monetary difference does not justify the additional controls.
Memorandums were written on November 18 and 23, 1981, reemphasizing the need for field engineers and inspe'ctors
'to be aware of this type of item and cases identified are to be brought to the attention of the Senior Resident Engineer.
Page Two Date Nhen Full Compliance Mill Be Achieved:
Full compliance will be considered to have been achieved once the documentation has been received for the "Non-Q" screen guides.
The documentation is expected from the vendor on December 1,
1981.
