O APPENDIX A NOTICE. OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-518, 519, 520
& 521 Harstville A1, A2, B1 & B2 License Nos. CPPR-150,151, 152, & 153 As a result of the inspection conducted on March 3-6, 1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,1980), the following violations were identified.
A.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion IX as implemented by PSAR Section 17.1A.9 requires measures be established to assure special processes, including welding are controlled. ASME Section IX with Interpretation IX-78-92 has been identified as the applicable code for welder qualification. Interpre-tation IX-78-92 limits the thickness qualified, by a combination process welder qualification pipe test assembly of 3/4 inch wall thickness, to lh inch maximum. All TVA safety related repair pipe welding requires preweld visual inspectior..
Contrary to the above, on March 4, 1981, adequate measures were not estab-lished to control special processes, including welding in that the following were noted:
1.
TVA Qualification test no. GT-SM-6-4-0-3-H, Rev. 2 (a combination process welder qualification test, administered on a 3/4 inch wall thickness pipe) paragraph 8.1, states that the welders are qualified for unlimited pipe wall thickness.
2.
TVA has no documented acceptance criteria for preweld visual inspec-tion.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement II.E.).
B.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V as implemented by PSAR section 17.1A.5 requires activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented procedures and shall be accomplished in accordance with those procedures.
TVA General Construction Specification G-29M, Process Specification 1.M.1.-
_T 2(b) paragraph 14.9.1(a) requires bead width for 3/32-inch diameter type
~
7018 electrodes not to exceed-9/16 inch wide maximum.
Contrary to the above, on March 5, 1981, activities affecting quality were not accomplished in accordance with documented procedures in that the welder of record for essential service water system joint no. AIAES0680004 depost-ted a 7/8 inch wide bead on that joint with a 3/32 inch diameter type 7018 electrode.

C.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V as implemented by PSAR Section 17.1A.5 requires that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accord-ance with docu;nented procedures. TVA Construction Engineering Procedure No.
16.03 defines which conditions adverse to quality can be handled as a QCIR and which conditions must be handled as an NCR report with appropriate management review.
Contrary to the above, requirements for handling of conditions adverse to quality were not being adhered to in that on March 6,1981, there were a number of completed QCIRs in the records vault that described conditions which should have been escalated to nonconforming report status to obtain appropriate management attention.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement II.E.).
