Appendix A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service of Indiana Docket No. 50-546 Docket No. 50-547 Based on the results of NRC inspection conducted on April 3-6, 1979, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as noted below.
Items 1-3 are infractions.
1.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, states, in part, that, "These measures shall.
assure that appropriate quality standards are specified and included in design documents and that deviations from such standards are controlled."
The Marble Hill PSAR, Section 17.A1.3.c states, in part, that,
" Deviations from quality requirements and standards and design changes (including field-initiated design changes) are controlled to the same level as was applied to the original design."
Sargent and Lundy Specification No. Y-2725, Steel Liner Vork for Reactor Containment Structures Marble Hill Nuclear Generating S t a tio- - Units 1 and 2, Division 802, Examination of Welded Joints, Subparagraph 802.2, Subsubparagrapn 6.1.1.c states, "The minimum density for single viewing shall be 1.5."
This subsubparagraph was revised to the above as Amendment 1 on November 9, 1977.
Contrary to the above, on April 5, 1979, the inspecter identifiec to the licensee that Chicago Bridge and Iron (CBSI) procedure No.
RT2N, Rev. 3, approved by Sargent and Lundy by letter dated May 23, 1978, from Mr. Kurtz to Mr. Kenyon, Paragraph 7.1.B which states, "The film density through the weld metal shall be 1. 3 minimur for single viewing, and 1.8 minimum for composite viewing of double film exposures." This represents a relaxing of the requirements as stated in the specification.

Appendix A 2.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion X, requires that a program for inspection of activities affecting quality shall be estab-lished and executed by or for the organization performing the activity to verify conformance with the documented-instructions, procedures, and drawings for accomplishing the activity.
The Marble Hill PSAR Chapter 17.0, Section 17.1.10.1. (b ) states that, " Inspections or tests are performed for each work operation as necessar" to verify quality."
Contrary to the above, the inspector identified the following areas in which PSI subcontractor QC inspection personnel failed to perform adequate inspection of work operations to verify quality.
a.
The responsible Whalen-Chilstrom Joir.t Venture (WCJV) QC inspector completed the sign-off of the Placement Check Sheet for acceptance of reinforcing steel in Placement No.
155-377-1, prior to contaminants being removed from the reinforcing steel and prior to all reinforcing steel being secured against displacement durir; concrete placement.
b.
The responsible G. K. Newberg Construction Company QC inspector completed the sign-off of the 1S5-377-1 Placement Check Sheet to accept clean-up of adjacent concrete surfaces, formwork, waterstops, and joint filler material, prior to the completion of adequate clean-up.
c.
The Newberg QC Engineer signed the 15S-377-1 Placement Check Sheet to release the area for placement of concrete, prior to the completion of Items a and b above.
d.
The responsible Newberg QC inspector f ailed to adequately inspect concrete.urfaces after form removal as required by Newberg QAPN-10, Rev. 3, to identify, tag, and repair areas of defective concrete in the Auxiliary and Reactor Unit 1 Buildings.
The responsible Newberg QC inspector failed to inspect e.
defective concrete repairs to verify the curing of the re' pair patches in accordance with ACI 301-72 Chapter 9 and Newberg WFN-25, Rev. O.
Two patched areas which were nc cured as specified were identified by the tuspector in the Auxiliary Building.

Appendix A.
3.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion II, requires that the QA prograr shall provide for indoctrination and training of personnel performing activities affecting quality as necessary to assure that suitable proficiency is achieved and maintained.
The Marble Hill PSAR Chapter 1.0, Section 1.7, concits to Regulatory Guide 1.58.
Regulatory Guide 1.58 in turn endorses ANSI N45.2.6-73 which states in part that "Each person who verifies conformance of work activities to quality requirements shall be certified by his employer as being qualified to perform his assigned work."
Contrary to the above, the inspector:
a.
Reviewed the training and qualification records of the Whalen-Chilstrom Joint Venture (WCJV) post-tensioning QC inspectors and found no record of their certification or qualification as related to the inspection of post-tensioning work activities, b.
Determined that WCJV WCQAP-7, Rev. 2, Section 4.1.2 and Attachment A, does not provide for the indoctrination and training of personnel performing quality inspections of post-tensioning activities.
