OG Bechtel Power Corporation Los Angeles Power Division Docket No.. 99900521/80-01 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on January 7-10, 1980, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indicated below;
-Section 21.21 of 10 CFR 21 requires that "Each individual, corporation, partnership or other entity subject to the regulations... shall adopt appropriate procedures for (i) evaluating deviations or (ii) informing the licensee or purchaser of the deviation in order that t.5e licensee or purchaser may cause the deviation to be evaluated...," and that "A director or responsible officer subject to the regulations of this part.
shall notify the commission when he obtains information reasonably indi-cating a failure to comply or a defect.
Further, paragraph (b)(3)(vi) requires that the written report to the Commission include the follow. g information "In the case of a basic component which contains a defect or fails to comply, the number and loca-tion of all such components in use at, supplied for, or being supplied for one or more facilities or activities subject to the regulations..."
Implicit in the above requirement is the need to evaluate deviations to determine whether defects (as defined in the regulation) exist, as well as the need to evaluate such defects for applicability to other facilities or activities.
