APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Company of New Hampshire Docket No. 50-443 This refers to the inspection conducted by the resident inspector assigned to the Seabrook Station, Units 1 and 2, Seabrook. New Hampshire, of activities authorized by NRC License No. CPPR-135.
During this inspection, conducted September 8-October 10, 1980, the following apparent items of noncompliance were identified:
A.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B Criterion V states, in part, that:
" Activities affecting quality shall be... accomplished in accordance with (the pre-scribed) instructions, procedures,ordrawings."
The Seabrook Station PSAR for Units 1 and 2 states, in part, in para-graph 17.1.5 that:
"Each organization is required to perform their respective quality related activities covered by this program in accord-ance with documented instructions, procedures, or drawings."
Pullman Power Products Hanger Drawing MS-1201-SG-08, Revision 4, indi-cates Field Welds 2, 4, and 5 to be of. certain size, length, and posi-tion relative to the structural members being connected.
Contrary to the above, on September 29, 1980, Field Welds 2, 4, and 5 on Hanger MS-1201-SG-08 were signed off as completed by QC personnel, despite the fact that weld lengths were less than specified, portions of certain welds were undersized, and the positioning of the structural members, as it affected these welds, was unacceptable.
This item is an infraction applicable to Docket No. 50-443.
. B.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion VII states, in part, that:
" Measures shall be established to assure that purchased material... conform (s) to the procurement documents "
The Seabrook Station PSAR for Units 1 and 2 states, in part, in para-graph 17.1.7 that:
"Each organization purchasing material... covered by this (QA) program is. required to establish measures to provide assurance that they conform to procurement documents."
United Engineers and Constructors (UE&C) Procedure QAS-1, Revision 7, states, in part, in paragraph 4.5 that each " Contractor shall have...
measures to assure that purchased items... conform to the requirements 1910227 0 NC
2 of the procurement documents;" while UE&C Specification 006-12-1, Revi-1 sion 6. states, in part, in paragraph 3.3.1 that "All structural and mis-i cellaneous steel design, fabrication and erection shall be in accordance with AISC Manual of Steel Construction..."
The AISC Manual of Steel Construction, Seventh Edition, discusses the allowable methods for fabricating holes in structural steel, both in general and specifically for high-strength bolted connections.
It also defines and prescribes the use of milled surfaces on structural steel bearing contact areas.
No mention is made of flame cutting as an accept-able alternative for bolt hole fabrication.
Contrary to the abo 3, on August 15, 1980, a slotted hole in 2 : lip angle attaching a beam to a supporting wall embed for a completed high-strength bolted, bearing connection was discovered to have been flame cut. Subsequent investigation revealed the presence of additional flame cut holes in safety-related structural steel and evidence that this con-dition has existed since fabrication by the vendor.
This item is'an infraction applicable to Docket No. 50-443
