N Washington Public Power Supply System P. O. Box 1223 Elma, Washington 98541 Docket Hos. 50-508, 50-509 Construction Permit Nos. CPPR-154, CPPR-155 APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION As a result of the inspection conducted on January 5 to 30,1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,1980),
the following violations wero identified:
A.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V states, in part, that " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions...and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions...."
Paragraph 17.4.5 of the Quality Assurance Program documented in the PSAR states, in part, that, " Provisions are made for assuring that all quality related activities on structures...are performed in accordance with approved instructions...."
Approved contractor instruction no. AI-14-vPPSS (contract no. 3240-263) requires that all structural welds on quality class I structural steel ce inspected and the inspections documented on an inspection report (fonn QC-19).
Contrary to the above, on January 21, 1981 there was no inspection report for a Unit 3 structural steel weld connecting the beam clip for beam 237F to the embed plate. A Structural Steel Checklist, dated April 28, 1980 indicated that the contractor had accepted this portion of the structure.
This is a severity level V violation (Supplement II), applicable to Unit 3 only.
B.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, states, in part, that, " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings."
Paragraph 17.1.5 of the WPPSS Quality Assurance Program, as documented
!n the PSAR, states, in part, that "... Contractors...are required to have written instructions, procedures, policies, and/or drawings which govern their quality related activities and which include appropriate quantitative and qualitative acceptance / rejection criteria...."
8105 210 C)l l
. Paragraphs 3.8.5.6 and 3.8.3.6 of the WPPSS PSAR specifies that construction will be performed in accordance with the American National Standard ANSI N45.2.5.
The American National Standard ANSI N45.2.5, paragraph 5.4 states, in part that "...all connection points shall be visually inspected for the following items:
1.
Bolts are the correct length... correct type bolt is used...waiisers are used when required...."
Contract 3240-263 for structural steel erection requires that bolting be performed in accordance with the American National Standard ANSI N45.2.5.
Contrary to the above requirements, the 3240-263 contractor's approved procedure, which had been implemented prior to January 21, 1931, required inspection of only 20% or two bolts per connection point.
This procedure is inappropriate in that it prescribes inspection requirements less than those specified in the contract specifications and ANSI N45.2.5.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement II), applicable to Units 3 and 5.
C.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion X, states, in part, that, "A program for inspection of activities shall be established and executed...to verify conformance with the documented instructions, procedures, and drawings for accorplishing the activity...."
Paragraph 17.4.10.3 of the WPPSS Quality Assurance Program as documented in the PSAR, states, in part, that " Specific contractor inspections are to be performed for verifying conformance to contract requirements...
and acceptability of material and equipment which have been installed and erected on the construction site are in accordance with approved site contractor procedures...."
Approved site contractor (3240-263) procedure no. CP-05 requires that bolting be performed in accordance with approved erection drawings and that plate or bar type washers be used on the outer ply of joints having long slotted holes.
Erection drawing no. G-3435 designates that washers shall be used for anchor bolting columns.
l l
Contrary to the above, on January 21, 1981, the bolts connecting Unit 3 beams 235E and 2370 to the wall clip were not equipped with plate or bar wa:hers over the long slotted holes, Unit 3 column no.12A had been anchor bolted without the use of washers, and Unit 5 connection of beam 43C to column 419A contained one bolt without the required washer.
Contractor quality records indicated that this bolting had been previously inspected and acc.epted by the contractor's quality control staff.
i This is a severity level IV violation (Supplement II), applicable to Units 3 and 5.

6 D.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVII, states, in part, that " Sufficient records shall be maintained to furnish evidence of activities affecting quality... Inspection and test records shall, as a minimum, identify the inspector or data recorder...."
Paragraph 8.7 of contract 3240-263 procedure no. CP-05 (entitled " Structural Steel Erection") requires the development of "as-built" drawing records for structural steel connections and requires that each connection shall be verified as complete by signifying with (QC) initial or stamp for that connection.
Further, the proccdure requires the documentation of bolting inspections on inspection report form no. QC-19 FIR. This form includes an area to identify the specific items inspected.
Contrary to the above requirements, on January 21, 1981, the foll. wing record discrepancies were identified:
(1) The completed as built drawing for Unit 5 structural steel associated with concrete placement no. 5 ABS-010-362 contained no verifying initials or inspection stamps.
(2) QC-19 FIR no. 5-SB-42 dated November 6, 1980 indicated eight bolts were inspected in each of four connections (two numbered 270F-260A and two numbered 270F-262A) when, in fact, the design drawings and actual installation contained only four bolts per connection.
Similiarly, connection no. 251F-247E-263C was reported to have fourteen bolts, when only twelve were required and installed.
(3) A QC-19 FIR form could not be located for the inspection of bolting on unit 3 column no.12A, although contractor representatives reported this bolting complete and accepted in March 1980.
This is a severity level VI violation (Supplement II), applicable to Units 3 and 5.
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Washington Public Power Supply System 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 l
achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further items of noncompliance; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
i Under the authority of Section 182 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, l
this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation.
