N-Appendix A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tb,e Detroit Edison Company Docket No. 50-341 Based on the inspection conducted on June 19-22, 1979, it appears that certain of your actisiities were in noncompliance with NRC requirements, as noted below.
Itenis 1 and 3 are infractions.
Item 2 is a def' xency.
See the Details section of this report for a full description of aoncom-pliance examples. Special attention should be given to Appendix A, Item 3 (failure to take adequate corrective actions), and Section I, Paragraph 3.b.
1.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion VII, states in part, " Measures shall be established to assure that purchased material, equipment and services, whether purchased directly or through contractors and subcontractors, conform to the pricurement documents. These measures shall include provisions, as appropriate, for source evaluation and selection, objective evidence of quality furnished by the contractor or subcontractor, inspection at the contractor or subcontractor source, and examination of products upon delivery. This documentary evidence shall be retained at the nuclear power plant or fuel repro-cessing plant site shall be sufficient to identify the specific requirements (such as codes, standards or specifications) met by the purchased material and equipment."
Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant QA Manual QAP No. 7, Rev. 4, states in part:
Paragraph 7.1.3.1 In addition to the technical and economic assess-ment of the bidder's proposal, a written evaluation shall be made of th-bidder's quality assurance program.
Paragraph 7.1.3.2 Quality Assurance shall be responsible for preparing vendor quality assurance program acceptance criteria and for evaluating a vendor's program.
Contrary to the Appendix B requirements and procedures:
Walbridge Aldinger's Quality Assurance program was not evaluated a.
as required above.
b.
Edison QA procedure No. 19 Audits require audits of contractors /
vendors prior to and immediately after contract award to assure program acceptability and implementation. Quality assurance did not perform this function for Walbridge Aldinger contract award. QA was excluded from the preaward loop.

Appendix A 2.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion VIII, requires, in part, that
" Measures shall assure that identification of the item is maintained throughout... installation." And Edison Manual requires:
Paragraph 8.1.5 of procedure QAP-8 r: quires that physical identification shall be used to the maximum extent possible for relating an item at any stage of work to an applicable drawing, specification, and/or other pertinent technical document.
Specification 128 states in part, "they shall be located for easy identification by plant personnel."
Contrary to the above, on June 21, 1979, the inspector observed various vertical cable trays which had their identification markers located inside of the tray and were not visible once the cable was placed in the trays.
3.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, and Edison QA Manual Section 17 states in part, " Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality.
. are promptly identified and corrected.
In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition."
Edison QA Manual Section VII, Paragraph 7.1.4 " Source Surveillance,"
states in part, " Prior to the release for shipment QA Level 1 material end equipment requiring source inspection shall be inspected for conformance to the procurement document requirements."
Contrary to the above:
Inland-Ryerson, a vendor, furnished Drywell Structural Steel, a.
Core Spray Bracket, welded per AWS D.I.1-72.
"e - w.1ds required full penetration welds and NDE testing. The si,
.;ontractor noted slag entrapment at the end of the weld and cavated the full length of the weld (over two feet). The wdt joint was also foun? to have an improper bevel. The NDE (UT) report showed the weld to be acceptable.
b.
The inspector found that approximately twenty-seven (27) of seventy-one (71), approximately 37%, brackets were identified as nonconforming, i.e. excessive undercut, imprope,r weld size, slag still on welds requiring PT acceptance, porosity, weld spatter, weld lap. Daniel Quality Control has repeatedly identified the Inland-Ryerson nonconformances as a generic problem yet, installation of the Inland-Ryerson structural steel has proceeded.

Ap.)endix A.
c.
On June 22, 1979, the NRC inspector observed RHR Heat Excha,nger Platforms at the 615' elevation shop welded to AWS D1.1-72 and furnished by Inland-Kyerson. Visual inspection revealed improper fitup, under cut, slag not removed (prior to painting), and incomplete fusion.
