NRC COMMENT Attachment

  • Page 2 As required by Criterion XVII of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and implemented by VEPCO Topical Report VEP-1-A Section 17 paragraph 17.2.17, states in part that Quality Assurance records relating to **. documentary evidence of

.** activities affecting quality.** include monitoring of work performance, and maintained and are retrievable.

Contrary to the above on* September 10,. 1980, there was no documentary evidence to verify that VEPCO' s NDT group* had monitored vendor work performed relative to IE Bulletin 79-17 NDE inspections.

This is a deficiency.

VEPCO RESPONSE

1.

Corrective action taken and results achieved:

The* work, when performed, was in fact monitored by NDT personnel attached to the station and a memorandum to that. effect has been placed in station records.

Further review of the circumstances revealed that an approved station procedure exists for this monitor-ing effort but had been overlooked in this circumstance.

2 *.

Corrective steps taken to avoid further non-compliance:

The _approved procedure has been. reviewed with all members *of the station NDT staff and will be used in the future.

3.

Date when full compliance will be achieved:

Full. compliance has been achievedo

Attachment Page 1 As required by *Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR* 50 and implemented by VEPCO Topical Report VEP-l-A. Section 17 paragraph 17. 2. 5, states in part that~ ** procedures shall i~clude appropriate quantitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfac-torily accompiished.
