RESPONSE TO OIE INSPECTION REPORT
'
50-270/78-14, 50-287/78-14
Item
f
Based on the results of the NRC inspection conducted on June 26-20, 1978, it
appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full co=pliance
with NRC regulations and License Conditions as indicated below. These items
have been categorized as described in our correspondence to you dated
December 31, 1974.
Criterion V, of Appendix B to 10CFR50 as implemented by commit-
'
ments set forth in the DPC Topical Report, Duke-1-A, Section
17, Paragraph 17.1.5 specifies in part that activities affecting
quality shall be accomplished in accordance with the require-
ments i= posed by instructions, procedures and drawings.
Oconee
Nuclear Station Directive 3.6.l(M), " Welding Program," paragraph
7.2.5.1 specifies that, "all material shall be consu=ed in the
weld process or shall be returned to the issue station..."
,
Contrary to the above requirement on June 27, 1978, the inspector
observed a substantial quantity of bare wire stainless steel
electrodes scattered on the floor of the low pressure cooler room.
Welding had been performed earlier in this area.
This is an infraction.
RESPONSE
The management of Oconee Nuclear Station has taken the following actions to
the immediate proble= with regard to welding material control and to
correct
prevent its recurrence in the future.
All personnel, including maintenance unit coordinators and supervisors,
'
quality assurance inspectors, welders and their immediate superviscrs have
been notified of the infraction and instructed to review Station Directive
'
3.6.1.
The appropriate personnel have been warned that disciplinary actions
will be taken for any future violation.
The actions that are considered te
be violations in this case have also been explained to these personnel.
