Appendix A
' NOTICE OF VIOLATION Illinois Power Company Docket No. 50-461 Based on the'results of the NRC inspection conducted April 14-30, 1980, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compli-ance with NRC requirements as noted below. These items are infractions.
1.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion IX states, in part, that.
special processes, including welding, are controlled and accomplished by qualified personnel using qualified procedures.
The Zack Co. (HVAC) Quality Control Procedure (QCP) 3, Revision 4, paragraphs 6.5 and 6.8 respectively, state in part:
. welder is required to follow the qualified welding proce-dure for the type and kind of welding he is performing.
. after weld completion, the welder shall insure the weld meets the requirements of the welding code and the welding procedure."
Contrary to the above, four out of five Zack working welders inter-viewed were not aware of the location of their weld procedure nor were they aware of its basic contents.
A later inspection followup indicated that action had be-n taken to correct the item of noncompliance and to prevent recurrence.
Zack welders have been instructed as to the contents of their weld proce-dure and copies of same have now been included in a reference book with each foreman. The inspector reviewed a selected number of finished Zack HVAC welds with no negative results.
Consequently, no reply to this item is required'and we have no further questions regarding this matter at this time.
2.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XV states, in part, that measures shall be established to control material, parts or components which do not conform to requirements in order to prevent their inad-vertent use or installation.
.The Zack Co. (HVAC) Quality Control Procedure (QCP) 8, Revision 3, paragraphs 4.2 and 6.3 state in part:
. site QC inspector is responsible for controlling all noncon-
' form items until correction... and insure proper control is main-I
' tained to prevent any materials from being incorporated into work that is nonconforming."
l f
8 0 06230 gigt,
m Appendix A
- Whenever possible, the nonconforming item shall be removed to a segregated area. The' initiator shall document the storage
-location on the NCR."
Contrary to the above, the inspector found the Zack Co. reject / hold area in disarray, the enclosure dismantled, and unauthorized scrap within its bounds. The inspector also found rejected material with no status ~ identification and with no record as to its location.
The Zack Reject /NCR tags and logs did not indicate the location of nonconforming material.
