50-445/80-15 50-446/80-15 Appendix A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Based on results of the NRC inspection conducted on June 6 and 9, 1980, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with the ecnditions of your NRC Construction Permits No. CPPR-126 and 127 as indicated below:

Failure to Establish Quality Assurance Program for Class 5 Pipe Support Systems Appendix B, Criterion II states in part, "The applicant shall establish at the earliest practicable time, consistent with tne schedule for accomplishing the activities, a quality assurance program which complies with the requirements of this appendix.

This program shall be documented by written policies, procedures, or instructions and shall be carried out throughout plant life in accordance with those policies, procedures, or instructions. The applicant shall identify the structures, systems, and components to be covered by the quality assurance program...."

FSAR, paragraph 3.2.2.3 defines Class 5 piping systems as those in the non-nuclear safety category whose failure in a seismic event could result in a loss of capability of a safety-related function.

FSAR, Table 17A-1 (page 24) identifies the Chilled Water System as having supports in the Class 5 category and by reference to Note 27, appearing on page 40 of the same table, indicates that certain portions of Appendix B apply.

Contrary to the above:

On or about June 9, 1980, the RRI identified several pipe supports for Chilled Water piping in the Auxiliary Building (common to both Units 1 and 2) that appeared to be essentially complete.

Reference to applicable drawings established that these supports had been classified as Class 5 supports.

Various inquiries by the RRI, coupled with a search of site quality assurance procedures and the applicable specification 2323-MS-46B, "Non-Nuclear Pipe Hangers and Supports," established that a quality assurance program has not been established for these hangers as required by Appendix B and commitments of the FSAR.

The licensee stated to the RRI that approximately 2500 other Class 5 hangers already installed are involved.

This is an infraction.
