Appendix A' NOTICE OF VIOLATION Houston Lighting & Power Company Docket No. 50-498; 50-499 CPPR-128; 129 As a result of the inspection conducted on October 27-29, 1980, and in accord-ance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1980), the following violation was identified:
Failure to Follow Procedures Which Prevent the Use of Nonconforming Materials 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V states, " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomolished in accordance with these instructions, procedures or drawings."
B&R Specification 2A010CS027F, paragraph 5.3.1(b) required that in-process testing of Portland Cement be performed by the subcontractor, Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory (PTL), at the batch plant (on site).
Brown & Root (B&R) Procedure ST-QAP-15.1, Revision 1, paragraphs 3.7 and 3.8 state in part, "Whenever practical, nonconforming items are identified with hold tags (See Attachment B) to prevent further pro-cessing until dispositioned by the MRB.
' Hold' tags are removed and replaced with a ' Work Release' tag (See Attachment B) prior to the start of any rework or repair activities."
Contrary to the above:
On October 27, 1980, B&R Nonconformance Report S-C-5804 identified that samples of Portland cement are obtained by the supplier at the off-site storage location rather than on site at the batch plant and are shipped to PTL, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for testing.
On October 27, 1980, " Hold" tags were not placed on cement bins to prevent further processing of the cement until the B&R Nonconformance Report S-C-5804 could be dispositioned by the B&R Materials Review Board (MRB) and as a result, concrete placement MEI-WO47-04B (6 cubic yards) was placed on October 28, 1980.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement II).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Houston Lighting & Power Company is hereby required to submit to this office within twenty-five days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be 81022,800 @
