Appendix A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Dock +t No. 50-329 Consumers Power Dockcc No. 50-330 Company Based on the results of the NRC inspection conducted on September 18-20, 1979, it appears that certain of your activities were in noncompliance with NRC requirements, as noted 'alow.
This item is considered an infraction.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteric1 IX, requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that special processes, including welding are controlled.
Paragraph 5.2 of procedure 9-1 of the Consumers Power Company Quality Assurance Program Topical Report (CPC QA PTR) CPC-1 states, in part, "Special processes are accomplished with written process sheets, pro-cedures, checklists or equivalent which describe parameters to be met during the performance of the special process.
Contrary to the above, the following discrepancies identified relative to the anchoring of safety related 4.16KV switchgear indicate that welding activities may not have been adequately controlled; these documents went through several reviews and were approved.
Quality Control Inspection Record (QCIR) #C304-7.88W specifies that a.
the switchgear be anchored to the embeds by plug welds; Note 13 on the installation drawing C-195(Q) requires fillet welds. This indi-cates that the manufacturer's recommendations were not followed.
b.
The QCIR specifies the use of Weld Procedure Specification (WPS)
PI-A-Lh (structural) for plug wclds; this WPS is prequalified to AWSD1.1-76 requirements which excludes 7/8" diameter plug welds.
This indicates that an incorrect WPS was specified end approved.
The inspection records indicate that " plug welds" were inspected and c.
determined acceptable.
d.
On August 23, 1979, subsequent to the NRC inspection, corrections were made to the above record without the benefit of procedural requirements.
Visual inspection or the welds and discussion with the various site e.
personnel indicate ttat they may be fillet welds.
