Infraction
{
10CFR50, Appendix B, Criteria IX, states in part that, " Measures shall be established to assure that special processes including welding...and nondestructive testing...are controlled and accom-plished...with... applicable specifications...and other special requirements..."
The Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, PSAR Section 17.1.9.2, stated in part that "CEI requires contractors to establish and document measures that will assure that special processes will be accomplished...in accordance with the applicable codes..."
Contrary to the above, Liquid Penetrant Examination (PT) Procedure 465-NC-N003, Rev. 3, August 15, 1977, specifies examinations can be performed down to 40*F.
However, a qualification procedure has not been established qualifying the process down to a temperature of 40*F as required by ASME Section V.
Liquid Penetrant Inspection Procedure 948-N-004, Rev. C May 25, 1979, (AWS D1.1-75) is also being used specifying a temperature down to 40*F, without being qualified as required by ASTM E165-75.
