i ENCLOSURE HARTSVILLE NUCLEAR PLANT, ALL UNITS DOCUMENT CONTROL 10CFR50.55(e) REPORT NO. 1 (FINAL)

AUDIT HT-G-80-19 (DEFICIENCY NO. 2)

On August 15, 1980, IVA notified NRC-0IE Region II, Inspector.M.

Tho=as, of a potentially reportable condition involving inadequate document control at the Hartsville Nuclear Plant. This is the final report on the subject reportable deficiency.

Description of Deficiency The TVA CONST QA Unit at Hartsville performedan audit of controlled documents (excluding drawings which were povbr'ed separately) contained in manuals -ensite. The audito,r surveyed 54 manuals of the 156 manuals controlled by the Hartsville Document Control Unit (DCU) onsite and found that 36 of those surveyed contained one or more of the following discrepancies:

(1) Superseded, canceled or expired material contained therein.

(2) Rev~.axens not up to date.

(3) In.'ormation in the incorrect manual.

(4) Material missing from the manual.

At least 12 of the 36 deficient manuals contained only minor discrepancies (eg. index or definitions cut of date). The remaining 24 manuals contained from one to ten of the discrepancies oescribed above ccncerning working documents. The deficient manuals were found in all areas of the plant (engineering and crafts).

This deficiency resulted from a failure of manual holders to follow procedures in filing new material and/or removing superseded material. Manual holders had returned signed forms indicating they had received and properly filed the documents for all but three of the cited procedures. These last three could possibly have been corrected if the manual holder (s) had been contacted by DCU.

(This is required if the signed forms were not returned to DCU in three days from transmittal of procedures.)

Safety Ieplications This condition represents a significant breakdown of the QA program regarding document control. No condition adverse to safety has been found to exist as a result of this deficiency but, if this situation had remained uncorrected, current procedures may not have been followed resulting in possible violation of TVA commitments to NRC on safety-related issues, and thereby jeopardizing the safety of operations of the plant.

f Corrective Actions Holders of all 156 controlled manuals onsite have been notified of this deficiency and instructed to correct any deficiencies in their manuals. Random spot checks will be made to ensure that compliance with procedures regarding control of QA procedures has been achieved by September 30, 1980.

DCU personnal has been reinstructed on the procedural requirements relating to maintenance of controlled (QA) manuals. Distribution lists are being checked for accuracy and management controls will be implemented to reduce unnecessary distribution of procedures.

~

a To prevent recurrence, a quarterly interne.1 snivey will be conducted by personnel out'ide of the DCU to veri', that manuals are being maintained correctly. Deficiencie,s

  • fe d during this quarterly survey will be corrected as found.
