y ENCLOSURE RESPONSE TO URC-0IE LETTER FROM C. E. MURP!lY TO N. B. IlUGilES DATED DECEMBER 20, 1978 (REFERENCE Ell:BRC 50-518/78-16, 50-519/78-16, 50-520/78-16, 50-521/78-16)
The report responds to the following Notice of Violation described in Appendix A of IE Inspection Report Rll:ERC 50-518/78-16, 50-519/78-16, 50-520/78-16, and 50-521/78-16.
Noncoenliance Item - Infraction -518-78-16-01, 519-78-16-01, 520-78-16-01, and 521-78-16-01 Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, as implemented by PSAR Section 17.lA.5, requires in part, " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, and shall be accompliehed in accordance with those instructions, procedures.
." Construction Engineering Procedure 6.03 requires that design information (i.e., design and construction specifications) be received and flied in the Master Docu-ment File in the Document Control Unit and distributed to applicable Engineering Unit Supervisors.
Procedure EN DES EP 3.04 requires that specifications be formally revised and reissued within 60 days of issuing a Specification Fevision Notice (SRN).
Contrary to the above, revisions to Specification N6C-875, " Earth and Rock Foundations and Fills" have not been controlled as required.
Specific examples are as follews:
1.
Plant A Document Control Unit Master File did not contain SRN 3, SRN 4, SRN 6 and SRN 7 to Revision 5 of Specification 06C-875.
2.
Quality control personnel in Flant A did not have access to SRN 3, SRN 4 and SRN 7 to Revision 5 of Specification N6C-875.
3 Specification N6C-S75 was not being revised und reioseen within 60 days of the issuance of Specification Revision Notices (SRN's).
SRN 3 to Revision 5 of the specification was issued on May 23, 1978, ShN 4 on June 22,1978, SRN 5 on July 12, 1978, and SRN 6 on Argust 21, 1978.
EccisJon 5 was the current issue of the specification en file en the date of inspection, November 30, 1978.
This is an infraction.
Response
item 1.
The Plant A Document Control Unit Master File did not contain SRN 3, SRN 4, SRN 6, and SRN 7 to Revision 5 of the Construction Specifi-cation N6C-875, due to an inadvertent error in the routing of the specification from the lIartsville Construction Project Manager's office to the Plant A Document Control Unit. The Plant B Document
=
4
_2_
Control Unit Master File did contain SRN 3, SRN 4, SRN 6, and SRN 7 to Revision 5 of Construction Specification N6C-875.
In order to prevent recurrence of routing errors for Construction Specifications, the Hartsville Nuclear Plant Construction Project Manager in a memorandum to the Director of Engineering Design dated December 1,1978 (HTN 761130107), hac requested that future distributions of construction specificatione be made directly to the Supervisors of the Document Control Unic, for Plants A and B, respectively. This distribution change has been implemented by EN DES as of this date to prevent recurrence of similar distribution problems.
Item 2.
Quality Control personnel in Plant A did not have access to SRN 3, SRN 4, and SRN 7 to Revision 5 of Construction Specification N6C-875 because the SRN's were never received by the Plant A Docu:ent Control Unit for the reasons discassed in iten 1 above.
The request for dirtet distribution of SRN's and revisions of construction specifications to the Document Control Unit of each plant should alleviate the possibility of quality control personnel in Plant A not having access to these documents.
An investigation by 91 ant A personnel revealed that none of the Category I earth and rock foundation and fill inspections per-formed af ter issuance of SRN 3 up to the present were affected by the content of SRN's 3, 4, 6, and 7.
Subsequently, the integrity of the Category I earth and rock foundations and fills placed during this period of time is not in question as a result of this infraction.
Item 3.
Cenotruction Specification N6C-875 indeed had not been revised within 60 days from the date of issue of SRN's 3, 4, 5, 6, as required in Eh CES-EP 3.04, "EN DES Construction Specifications - Prepara-tion, Review, and Approval." However, on December 7,1978, Revision 6 to Construction Specificatica N6C-875 was issued incorporating ERN's 3, 4, 5, 6,
..d 7.
On the date of issue of Revision 6, SRN 8 dated October 25, 1978, and SEN ')
dated November 21, 1978, were outstanding against che construction specification.
The NRC-OIE, Region II, Inspection R(pcrt centaining this inf racticn was not received by EN DES until December 27, 1976; at which time the 60-day revision time frame specified in EN DES-EP 3.04 for revtsion of the construction specification af ter issuance of SRN 8 had expired.
EN DES is presently re.'ising Construction Specification N6C-875 to incorpor-.e SRN8 and SRN 9.
The revision shculd be completed by March 1, 1979.
In order to prevent recurrence of this situation, the 60-day revision requiremer.ts of EN DES-Er 3.04 have been teiterated and empnasized to all affected EN DES cuployees.
