Attachment to CPGL Letter of Response to NRC Report RII:
GAH 50-400/85-22-02 Re orted Violation:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, as Analysis Report (PSAR)
Chapter 17, activities affecting quality shall be documented instructions, procedures, or the circumstances.
implemented by Preliminary Safety Section 17.1.5, requires that accomplished in accordance with drawings of a type appropriate to U
Contrary to the above, on May 28, 1985, it was discovered that activities were not accomplished in accordance with the above in that Carolina Power and Light (CPGL) Procedure MP-07, Revision 19, "General Welding Procedure for 'Stainless
- Steel, Nickel Base and Nonferrous Weldments" dated March 22, 1985, failed to include the 1.0 percent maximum oxygen requirement to ensure adequate back purge when making butt welds with the gas tungsten arc welding process as required by upper-tier Specification No.
- 031, Revision 9,
"Requirements for Field Welding of Category 1,
2, and 3 or code classes 1, 2, or 3 piping components, systems at the SHNPP Project."
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement II).
Denial or Admission and Reason for the Violation:
The violation is correct in part.
The correct procedure was being followed and requirements were in the procedure orginally',
- however, during a
subsequent Revision No.
15, February 14,
- 1984, a typographical error occurred in which the subject 1.0 percent maximum oxygen requirement was inadvertently omitted.
The error was not identified during the revision review and approval process.
The field practice,
- however, was not changed and no work problem occurred as a result of the typographical error.
Corrective Ste s Taken and Results Achieved:
MP-07, Revision 20 was issued on May 29,
- 1985, to correct the subject typing error.
Investigation has determined that site personnel were aware of the subject requirement, and no problems have been identified where improper purge was accepted.
Since there was no change in the field practice of properly purging the oxygen during
- welding, no additional action is deemed necessary.
Corrective Ste s Taken to Avoid Further Noncom liance:
Welding personnel involved in the review of procedures have been reminded to check for errors of this type prior to approval.
Date When Full Com liance Was Achieved:
Full compliance was achieved on July 9, 1985.
