Appendix A 2
BVPS FSAR Amendment 6, Paragraph A.2.2.16, states, in part, that: The identification of the significant condition adverse to quality, the cause of the condition, and the corrective action taken shall be documented and reported to appropriate levels of management.

When a mater.al, procedural, or workman-ship deficiency is identified, it shall be documented through the use of a NSQC General Inspection Report, Hold Tag, or a Nonconformance or Corrective Action Report (NCAR) in accordance with the applicable NSQC Program Proce-dures.
Contrary to the above, on July 26, 1979, a NSQC General Quality Control Inspection Report was written, which reported a violation of heat treat temperature for a weld in the RC-E-1A line of the feedwater system.
The report stated that a temperature of 11600F for 15 to 20 minutes before the temperature was brought into the required range of 1125 + 250F. A review of this matter by the inspector revealed that the rejectible item had not been documented, evaluated or transmitted by the use of a Nonconformance Report to appropriate levels of management for proper resolution.
This item is considered a deficiency.
