NRC Comment:

Response to Notice of Violation Reported In Inspection Report No.

50-281/79-6 7

Attachment:

Page 1 of 1 As required by 10 CFR, Part 50, Appendix XII, '~Ieasures shall be established to assure that tools, gauges, instruments, and other measuring and testing devices used in activities affecting quality are properly controlled, c-ali-brated, and adjusted at specified periods to maintain accuracy within necessary limits".

Contrary to the above, during the above noted inspection, a set of uncon-trolled outside micrometers (12 inch to 18 inch, manufactured by Starrett, model number 724) were located in the pipe refurbishment building where work was being performed.

The calibration sticker on these outside micrometers specify a due date of July 1979; therefore, this instrument was out of calibra-tion.

In addition,. there were no control or.identification markings on the micrometer to verify that this was part of VEPCO's calibration control system.

This is a deficiency.

RESPONSE

The Deficiency is correct as stated.

1.

C9rrective steps taken and results achieved:

The Starrett Model /1724, size 12" -

18" micrometer has been properly marked and calibrated.

It has been entered into the calibration control system as required.

2.

Corrective steps taken to avoid further non-compliance.

The requirements of the calibration and control program have been re-emphasized to project personnel and supervision.

3.

The date when full compliance will be achieved.

Full compliance has been achieved.
