A.
Criterion VI of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part, " Measures shall be established to control the issuance of documents, such as instructions, procedures, and drawings, including changes thereto, which prescribe all activities affecting quality.
These measures shall assure that documents, including changes, are reviewed for adequacy and approved for release by authorized personnel...."
Contrary to the above, measures had not been established to assure review and approval of Engineering Change Instruction (ECI) forms.
B.
Criterion VI of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part, " Measures shall be established to control the issuance of documents, such as instructions, procedures, and drawings, including changes thereto, which prescribe all activities affecting quality. These measures shall assure that documents, including changes, are reviewed for adequacy and approved for release by authorized personnel...."
Work Instruction-Engineering No. 9, dated April 18, 1973, requires that all Kerite Work Instructions be reviewed for adequacy by t y Engineering, Process Engineering, and Quality Assurance Departm uts.
Further, it states, " Review shall be accomplished at intervals not greater than three years and documentation of review shall be sub-mitted to the Quality Assurance Manager for compliance and filing of documentation."
Kerite Company Engineering Correspondence, dated January 24, 1977, requests a review of " instructions bearing a date of 1974."
Contrary to the above, the Engineering and Process Engineering Departments had not submitted documentation of review for the work instructions, dated 1974, to the Quality Assurance Manager.
C.
Criterion XI of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part, "A test program shall be established to assure that all testing required to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and parformed in accordance with written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits centained in applicable design documents."

, Addendum No.1, dated flovember 23, 1977, to Customer Specification No.12177-NMP2-E023A, dated September 24, 1976, states in part, "The integrity of the conductor energy suppression layer shall be continously monitored prior to the extrusion of the primary insulation using an electrode system covering the circumference of the energy suppression layer at a test voltage of 2KV d-c."
Additionally, the Factory Production Paper for Order / Item No. C5914-2A requires the Permashield (energy suppression layer) be tested at a voltage of 2KV d-c (kilovolts direct current).
Contrary to the above:
1.
The integrity of the conductor enet gy suppression layer was not being monitored during extrusion of the primary insulation for Order / Item No. C5914-2A.
2.
Test documentation for Order / Item No. C5914-2A " certifies" the inner Permashield (conductor energy suppression layer) was tested at 2-1/2 KV d.c. rather than the required 2KV d.c.
D.
Criterion XI of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part, "A test progro shall be established to assure that all testing required to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents."
Factory Instruction No. 081, dated March 20, 1978, requires a DC dry test of the inner Permashield layer during its extrusion.
The extrusion operator is required to complete a " rubber stamped yellow tag" which "will accompany the cable item until it is ready for shipment." The Factory Instruction further states, "The shift (DMPR) lug will also be stamped and filled in by the operator."
Contrary to the above:
1.
The rubber stamped tag er:s wi. completed at the Jme of extrusion of the Permashield layer for Order / Iter M:. CCT.'c 2A.
Note: The tag was completed on August 10, 1978, for the test conducted on August 4,1978.
2.
The " shift (DMPR) log" had not been stamped as of August 10, 1978, for the test conducted on August 4,1978.
