QA Records 1.

Objectives The cbjective of this area of the inspection was to examine the establishment and implementatica of quality related procedures for collecting, filing, storing, maintaining, and dispositioning of QA records to verify that; a.

A QA records system is defined, i:plemented, and enforced in accordance with approved procedures, instructions, or other documentation for all groups performing safety related activities including QA, design, procure:ent, administration, and sersices.

b.

QA reccrds are legible, cc:pletely filled out, adequately identifiable to the itas involved, validated, and listed in an index that indicates:

the record retentica.ine, where p. s c,c.n o o

uC Oss

4 the record is to be stored, and the location of the record in the storage area. Any changes or modifications f.o these records are controlled.

c.

A specific submittal plan for QA records is established between the licensee sad contractor and records exir.t that acknowledge the licensee's receipt of QA records.

d.

A designated authority has been assigned to control the receipt of QA records by a system which includes a list of QA records required, a record of QA records received, and an inspection of incoming records including a current assessment of the status of inccming records.

e A custodian has been designated to assure that QA records are in accordance with b. above and to enforce a QA record storage filing system which includes a system description of the filing tecnnique and storage area, rules for access and

ontrol of record files, accountability of records removed from record files and secrrity requirments.

Findings a.

Deviation See enclosure No. 1, Notice of Deviation.

b.

North Anna Project Procedure 1.9, Revision 3, (Collection and.

Storage of Records) has a requirment in paragraph 7.1.3 that all QA records forwarded to the PPF/PRCF files shall be sent via a transmittal or Document Checklist with a receipt acknowledgement required.

In establishirg the PRCF (Project Record Copy File) for North Anna 2, existing engineering files were being incorporated into the PRCF file without transimittal or Document Issue checklist receipt acknowledgement.

It does not :ppear to be a viable requirement to require receipt acknowledgement for existing engineering files on this repc-t.

Procedure No. 1.9, was revised during the period of this inspectica to remove this anomoly.

The procedure was changed to read as follows:

All QA record tranmittalc from the Be'*on office to the PPF or from the construction office to the c..F shall be made using a tranmittal or Document Issue checklist.

Receipt acknowledgement is required.

c.

Unresolved Item Stone and Webs.er Quality Standard QS-17.1, Revision A dated September 30, 1977, (Qualty Assurance Records System) states in part (paragraph 4.3.4), "The Project Management Department is responsible for

. Establishing written procedures for the operation of the RRC (Record Retention Center)." QS-17.1 also states in part (paragraph 4.3.6), "The Of fice Facilities Department is responsible for implementing written procedures for maintaining the RRC facility."

At present time procedures prepared by the Project Management Department for the operation of the RRC are in draf t fo rm and have act been issued. As a consequence, the Office Facilities Department has not been able to establish the implementing written pr>cedures for maintaining the RRC facility.

This item will be further inspected during the next regular inspection.

Consideration of the complexity, inspectability and safety significance of purchased items or services when selecting the method of source evaluation.

d.

Pe:formance of source evaluation audits that include appropriate checkl.;ts or instructions for systematic review of the prospective supplier's QA system.

h.

Distributing of supplier evaluation status documents to purchasing and assuring that contracts are awarded only to companies designated in these documents.

i.

Measures to assure that the supplier's bid conforms to the porcurement document requirements and that resolution of unacceptable conditions identified during bid evaluation are corrected before the contract award.

2.

Method of Accomplishment The preceding objectives were accomplished by:

3.

Findings a.

No deviations from cccmitments were identified in this area of the inspection, however, one unr solved item was identified.

b.

Unresolved Item It does not appear that S&W is imposing adequate requirements on their vendors in the case of significant conditions adverse to quality for assuring in a timely manner that the cause of the condition is determined and that corrective action is taken tu preclude repetition.

The Nonccaformance and Disposition Report No. 0684 describes one exa=ple of a conditica which apparently should have been analyzed by the vendor to determine the cause of the discrepancy and assign preventive action.

This report states that the wall thithness of several valve gressure parts was below the thickness specified on the vendor drawing.

It ap, ears that this condition should have been analysed by the vendor to determine if the manufacturing process shculd be changed or if the drawing require-meat is in conformance with the technical taquirements.

More especially the discrepancie, should have been identified, justified, and submitted by the vendor to S&W project engineering for evaluation and disposition prior to the S&W Shop Inspector's inspection and his identifying and reporting (via the NaD report) the discrepancies to S&W project engineering for action.

This area will be inspected further during a subsequent inspection.
