These items are considered to be infractions.
1.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, states in part,

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, states in part, j
" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by
/
document'ed instructions,. procedures, or drawings..
and shall be accomplished in accordance with documented instructions, procedures, or drawings...."
Bechtel Power Corporation Field Inspection Procedure G-3, which implements the requirements of Criterion V, states in Section 4.10.1 and 4.10.3 that, "The PFQCE (Project Field Quality Control Engineer) shall route a copy of the completed NCR to the organization responsible for control of the activity which apparently caused the nonconformance.
Each such organization will evaluate the feedback informa-tion provided by the NCR and initiate whatever corrective action may be warranted to prevent recurrence." and "The PFQCE shall also route a copy of the completed NCR to the site QAE for his evaluation and use in determining the need for corrective action to prevent recurrence."
Contrary to these requirements, nonconformance reports concerning reinforcement steel deficiencies were not adequately evaluated to determine the need for corrective action to prevent recurrence, either by the organization responsible for control of the activity or by the quality assurance engineer.
