Contrary to the above, inadequate corrective action was taken in the following instances:
a.
Surveillance report 9/79-12 dated September 25, 1979, was closed on November 12, 1980, even though two questions raised in the surveillance report requesting guidance on acceptance-criteria frer measuring defects remained unanswered.
b.
In the " Corrective action to preclude repetition" column on NCR 2 SN-1141-E, "No Daniel action required" was entered even though Daniel performs functions such as site procurement, receipt inspection and installation inspections which could preclude repetition of identified problem.
c.
In the " Corrective action to preclude repetition column" on NCR 25N-2236-E dated July 28, 1980, "No Daniel action required" was entered precluding Daniel inspecting other switchgear to ascertain whether " Suitable flexible wiring" was used over door 4
hinges where leads may be subjected to flexing.
d.
Even though, a deficiency report dated September 11, 1979, documented that nitrogen pressure was being lost on electrical penetration assembly No. 0712, followed by loss of nitrogen pressure in several other electrical penetrations, corrective action was not taken in a timely manner to replace the identified
. defective valves to assure a dry environment.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement II).
