QJ Appendix A NOTICE OF VIOLATION L
w Cincinnati Gas and Electric Docket No. 50-358 Company 3
Based on the results of the NRC Investigation conducted on April 7-9 and 30, May 1-2 and 20, 1980, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as noted below. This item is an infraction.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B Criterion XV, states in part that " Measures shall be established to control materials, parts, or components which do not conform to requirements in order to prevent their inadvertent use or installation."
a.
The Henry J. Kaiser Co. Zimmer Quality Assurance Manual in Quality Assurance Procedure (QAP) No. 16 requires in part that "All non-conforming items will be segregated, where possible, from accept-able items, clearly identified with the applicable Hold or Defi-ciency Tag and documented on the Nonconformance Report." It additionally requires that "Upon Verification that all work on the item is complete and acceptable, the nonconformance report (NR) is signed off in Section 13 by the Inspector."
Contrary to the above, 5 piping spools identified by NRE-1911 Rev. 2 were released from segregation even though the Inspector had signed of f section 13 with a notation of specific exceptions to acceptability of the material by identifying another NR controlling the material. This release was achieved through unauthorized removal of the noted exceptions on the NR.
b.
The Henry J. Kaiser Co. Zimmer Quality Assurance Manual in Quality Assurance Procedure (QAP) No. 16 requires in part that ".
material is clearly identified as nonconforming and is segregated, when possible. Due to size limitations physical segregation may be impractical. In such instances tagging, marking, or other means of identification is acceptable." Additionally QAP 15 requires that "A ' Hold' tag is placed on the item.
It is used in con-junction with a 'Nonconformance Report'."
Contrary to the above, 3 piping spocls identified in NR E-2020 as
?
nonconforming and required to be cleared by additional tests, not only had been released from the warehouse, but in addition had been installed without any " hold" tag being placed on the material.
