Subject:
" Midland Nuclear Plant - NRC Item of Noncompliance, Inspection Repcrt No 50-329/80-20 and No 50-330/80-21;"Serini 8818; dated August 25, 1980 (b) Letter, G Fiorelli to J W Cook; IE Inspection Report No 50-329/80-28 and No 50-330/80-29; dated October 8, 1980 Reference (a) prov$ceu the Consumers Power response to the item of noncompliance concerning velding material control (329/80-20-01 and 330/80-21-01) resulting from the inspection conducted by Mr E W K Lee on July 8-10, 1980. Reference (b) reports on a further inspection by Mr Lee on September 23-25, 1980 and requests a further response to the item of nonecmpliance.

(
In reference (a), we stated that we thought the infraction was not appropriate based on finding the attachment to the Field Material Request (FMR) utilized at that time for ordering veld filler materials.
Reference (b) provides in part under DETAILS on page 2 the follo-dng:
f "The inspector reviewed the Field Material Request (MG) No FM-12h and the attachment No 1.
It was determined that (1) the attached sheet to FMR No FM-12h cannot be established; (2) the tie between the subject PO and the attachment No 1 cannot be established; and (3) evidence that attachment No 1 was transmitted to the vendor is unavailable. "
The items listed stem from the fact that the purchase order and attachment l
No 1 lack any unique identifiers which tie the two documents conclusively together. Evidence does exist that the purchase order was transmitted to 1

/s the vendor. The purchase order, Atcachment No 1, and the receiving reports can be tied together by the fact they all contain identical ordering data (ie, sizes and quantity and correlatien between requirements and the quality verification documents). inis is a 1973 purchase order. No cases have been discovered where the veld filler materials were in nonconformance to the applicable requirements. The paragraphs belev describe improve:ents that were made in 1977 to the prcgram for procurement of welding materials.
Based on the additional informaticn in this letter, we request that you reconsider the appropriateness of making this item an infraction.
In May 1977, Eechtel's Project Special Provisions (PSP) Notice G-10.1, Fevision 0, was implemented which required review and approval of field material requisitions and purchase orders, for Q-listed and ASME III Code materials, by a Level II Quality Control Engineer.
Prior to May 1977, this item was covered by the Field Inspection Manual (FIM) which required tnat the Project Field Quality Centrol Engineer review all Q-listed field purchase orders.
Also, prior to May 1977, requisiticns and purchase orders were reviewed and approved by Bechtel's Field Weld Engineering.
The May 1977 change requires that a checklist be used by Quality Control t > verify that the required specifications, test requirements, and other ordering data is as required by the applicable specifications and codes.
Verification is confirmed by signature and date of a Level II Quality Control Engineer.
Regarding receipt of welding consumables, all material through the constructicn period, regardless of the designated classification (ie, Q-listed, ASME III, or non-Q-listed), is receipt inspected by Quality Control for acceptance to the applicable codes and specifications.
A review was made of approximately 20 (post-May 1977) purchase orders or chances to purchase orders which verified that the ordering data, such as mechanical and chemical tests and the subsequent documentation is as required.
An audit (M-01-26-0) was initiated by Consumers Power to cover the ordering and receipt records of veld filler material. Seventeen specific orders were included in this audit. This audit is completed nov except for the audit exit and the issuance of the audit report. This review and audit provides us confidence that the filler materials purchased, along with their quality verification documents, are proper in that they meet the applicable Code l
and specification requirements.
It is our observation that since May 1977, the purchase orders that CPCo looked at in the above review and audit had the co=plete ordering data incorporated into the purchase order proper and did not use an " attachment."
The ordering of filler materials since May 1977 appears to be in compliance with the Quality Assurance Program elements covering this subject. To date, l
all veld consumables utilized meet the applicable specifications and codes as confirmed by Quality Control review and verification of certified material test reports and as further confirmed by CPCo review and audit. This is l
3 Serial 1005h further substantiated by the results of your inspection as given in Inspection Report 329/80-20 and 330/80-21 where eight specific heats of material were reviewed.
The~above information is intended to provide the final response needed to close out this item.
