, Criterion XVIII of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part: " Audit results shall be documented and reviewed by management having responsi-bility in the area audited. Followup action, including reaudit of deficient areas, shall be taken where indicated." "

7 TVA Construction QAP 18.01, implemented by TVA Topical Report TVA-TR75-01A which is referenced in Chapter 17 of Yellow Creek Nuclear Plant PSAR, '

s states in section 6.5.5: " Deficiencies encountered during the audit shall be recorded and shall be supported by sufficient data and specific examples to adequately substantiate the evaluation." Section 6.6.1 states

~

N in part: " Sufficient data shall be recorded on the deficiency sheet to substantiate the encountered deficiencies." '

Contrary to the above, on October 17-20, 1978, the inspector identified nonconforming items discussed in the summary sections of audits YC-G-78-04 f and YC-G-78-05 that had not been identified by the auditors as a deficiency -

nor documented on a deficiency sheet. -

i Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken and Results Achieved The Chief, Quality Assurance Staff, Construction, has emphasized the

• significance of such deviations and instructed the Supervisor, Quality Assurance Unit, to comply with the requirements of TVA Construction y YAP 18.01. .

Corrective Steps Which Shall Be Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliances Audits of construction activities will be performed in accordance with TVA Construction QAP 18.01; therefore, deficiencies encountered during audit performance will be recorded on " deficiency sheets" and be appropriately ,,

supported by sufficient data and specific examples to adequately substan-tiate the evaluation. This procedure provides the formal and documented method required to ensure that appropriate corrective action has been J achieved or is in progress.

Date When Full _ Compliance Was Achieved Yellow Creek Nuclear Plant was in full compliance on November 29, 1978.
