Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation Docket No.
99900509/79-04 NOTICE OF DEVIATION Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on August 21-24, 1979, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in accordance with NRC requirements.
Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states:
" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Instructions, pro-cedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."
Deviations from these requirements are as follows:
A.
Stone & Webster's Engineering Assurance Procedure EAP 2.4, Revision 1, dated June 20, 1976, entitled Engineering Department Continuing Education Program states in part, "All Engineering Department Divisions shall:... Ensure that each individual's continuing education activities and achievements are recorded in his Experience Record."
Contrary to the above, an inspection of the Experience Records of three (3) members of the Structural Division did not contain any in-formation on their continuing education activities.
B.
Stone and Webster's Engineering Assurance Manual, procedure EAP 2.10 (Handling changes to Licensing Documents), paragraph 2.2, states that the method established by this EAP requires the docu-mentation of proposed changes to Licensing Documents and review of these changes to determine:
1.
Significance of the change.
2.
If S&W should recommend Client notification to Regulatory Agency.
3.
Final disposition of proposed change.
Contrary to the above, changes to activities delineated in a Licensing Document, the River Bend PSAR, have been implemented 1409 031MI oneso
- 5/
2 without generation of the documentation of the proposed changes and review of these changes to determine significance, notification and disposition per EAP 2.10 requirements.
(Changes include the fact that three of the six QA program manuals delineated in PSAR Section 17.1 B as formulating S&W QA Program policy are now obsolete.)
C.
Stone and Webster's Quality Standards Manual, procedure QS-15.1 (Nonconformance and Disposition (N&D) Reports), paragraph 7.7, states that upon completion of the disposition of the nonconformance PQA (Procurement Quality Assurance) shall perform inspection / veri-fication and indicate whether completed action is acceptable or nonacceptable, followed by signature and date in the " Inspection /
Verification" block of the N&D Report.
If the disposition is acceptable, the PQA District Chief shall review the N&D report for completeness and close it out by signing and dating the report in the appropriate block.
Contrary to tne above, on N&D #0121, there is no indication whether completed action is acceptable or nonacceptable, no PQA signature and date, and no PQA District Chief signature for completeness and closure, although the rework was completed acceptably and shipped by 5/25/79, and items are now installed or stored in place at the site.
