10 CFR 50, Appe six E, Criterion IV requires, in part, that "Mec;ures shall be established to assure that applicable.
design bases, and other requirements which are necessary tc assure adequate quality are suitably included or referencet in the documents for p:ocurement of material,
." Paragrap!
D.3.7.1.2 of the PSAR states, in part, "The specifications wil2 include a complete description of the functional design require-ments."
Contrary to the above, the procurement specification for mechanical snubbers lacks specific functional and qualifi-cation testing requirements; the engineering evaluatic; for substituting mechanical snubbers for the hydraulic snubbers was not available for all sizes; and the mechanical snubber vendor caterial certification did not identify deviations te the specification requirements.
2.
10 C/R 50, Appendix L, Criterion V requires, in part, that
" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by docu-mented instructions, procedures.
." Paragraph D.2.3.2.7 of the PSAR states, in part, " Erectors will have a QA prograr which includes procedures and instructions for.
. erection
- methods,
. recording and retention of QA data."
Contrary to the above, the procedure for installing hangers and snubbers was deficient in that the manufacturer's instructions were not included or referenced; the installation tolerances were not specified; the procedure did not address temperary installation and inspection of snubbers; and the procedure did not contain a detailed inspection checklist identifying all areas to be inspected and provide a means to record those deviations identified.

Appendix A 3.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion X requires, in part, that "A program for inspection of activities affecting quality shall be established and executed by or for organization performing the activity to verify conformance with the documented instructions.

A system has been developed, docu-mented and implemented to assure that equipment and materials falling outside the applicable requirementa will be revealed and reported in a systematic and timely manner."
Contrary to the above, several constant spring hangers were installed when they were classified as non-safety and subse-quently, were reclassified as safety items.
Nonconformance reports were not initiated to document this reclassification and to resolve QC problems such as the missing identificatier of weld filler metal heat numbers.
5.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII requires, in part, that
" Measures shall be established to control the.
. storage.
.anc preservation of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instruction to prevent damage or deterioration."
