APPENDIX A Notice of Violation Carolina Power and Light Company License No. DPR-71 DPR-62 Based on the results of the NRC inspection conducted on November 15-17, 1978, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indicated below. This item has been categorized as described in our correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires in part that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.
Carolina Power and Light Company, Corporate Quality Assurance Program, Part 2, Section 11.2.11, requires in part that when corrective action is required, it shall be monitored to assure timely and effective results. The purchase specification 952-028-216-1 for stainless steel spent fuel baskets established a required level of protection from water vapor, salt air, dust, dirt and other forms of contamina-tion during shipment and storage.
Contrary to the above, conditions adverse to quality were not promptly corrected and the corrective action required was not monitored to assure timely and effective results.
The circumstances involved adverse storage conditions of new stainless steel spent fuel baskets.
Baskets were wrapped in plastic and apparently adequately protected when received at plant and stored outside in yard area. General deterioration and damage of plastic wrapping followed, resulting finally in these ract-being totally uncovered and unprotected from the weather and fort gn materials. These adverse condition!. were identified by three separate plant Quality Assurance surveillance reports dated January, May and July 1978.
According to plant records, no response to these surveillance reports occurred until August 15, 1978.
That plant response stated that the spent fuel baskets would be left in the same storage conditions until installed in the spent fuel pool and that prior to installation they would be cleaned. On September 23, 1978, a Corporate quality assurance audit report expressed concern that this problem had been previously reported three times before a resolution was provided and that spent fuel baskets had not been protected. The adverse storage conditions remained unchanged until the inspector stated his concern on November 16, 1978 to plant management.
On November 16-17, 1978, the licensee took corrective action to relocate the baskets from outdoor to indoor storage.
This ites is an infraction.
