U Docket No. 50-458/80-05 APPENDIX B NOTICE OF DEVIATION Based on the results of t.he NRC inspection canducted May 27-30 and June 2-5, 1980, it appears certain of your activities were not conducted in conformance with your committments to the Commission as indicated below:
A.
Qualification of Individuals as Level II QC Inspectors Who Do Not Meet The ANSI N45.2.6 Experience Qualifications For A Level II Capability The "QA Program Manual for the River Bend Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2" requires that the quality assurance program correspor.d to the guidance set forth in " WASH 1283, Division 1, dated May 24, 1974." This QA program manual is required by Section 17.1.2.2b of the River Bend PSAR.
" WASH 1283" implements the requirements established in ANSI N45.2.6.
These requirements include the work experience criteria for individual inspector qualification to each inspection level.
For a Level II inspector, the work experience requirements range from two years for an individual with a college degree to four years for an individual with a high school degree.
Contrary to the above:
Stone and Webster Procedure QAD-2.5, Revision C, " Qualification and Certifi-cation of Personnel Performing Quality Assurance Activities," in attachment 3.2, allows that after one year of satisfactory performance at a Level I, inspection personnel may be qualified as Level II quality control inspectors.
During a review of personnel qualification records for fifteen Level II inspectors, five FQC inspectors were hired at the Level II position who could not meet the experience requirements established in the ANSI N45.2.6-1973 standard.
Thus, Procedure QAD-2.5, Revision C and the past personnel hiring practices appear to deviate from the ANSI N45.2.6-1973 requirements in that approved hiring practices have permitted hiring of personnel with insufficient work experience for the certified level of inspection capability.
This is a deviation.
B.
Performance of QC Inspection Activity Reviews By Inspection Personnel Not In Acccordance With The ANSI N45.2.6 Requirements The "QA Program Manual for the River Bend Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2" requires that the quality assurance program correspond to the guidance set forth in " WASH 1283, Division 1, dated May 24, 1974." This QA program manual is required by Section 17.1.2.2b of the River Bend PSAR.

" WAST 1283" implements the requirements established in ANSI N45.2.6.
Table 1 or this standard, " Minimum Levels of Capability for Project Functions,"
requires that at least a Level II individual both evaluate inspection and test results and report inspection and test reports.
1 I
Contrary to,the-above:
Section II of the inspection system handbook, " Inspection Report System,"
states -hat the " reviewer is other than the originating inspector and is of the s,une or higher level." This procedure appears to deviate from the ANP N45.2.6-1973 requirement requiring at least a Level II individual to review and report inspection results. A random inspection of forty-five inspection reports revealed that sixteen had been reviewed by less than a Level II inspector.
This is a deviation.
