NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket No. 50-456 Based on the inspection conducted on July 24, and August 14, 1980, it appears that certain of your activities were in noncompliance with NRC requirements, as noted below. This item is an infraction.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII, states, in part, that ".
Measures shall be established to control the handling, storage, shipping, cleaning, and preservation of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions to prevent damage or deterioration."
Commonwealth Edison Company Topical Report No. CE-1-A, Revision 10, Section 13, states, in part, that ".
. Written instructions for handling, preservation, storage, and shipping will be used to specify special protective conditions l
necessary to prevent damage or deterioration of materials and equipment Phillips, Getschow Company (PG) Procedure No. QAP-3, Revision 0, Paragraph 4.1.2 requires that E7018, E308, E309, E310 and E316 electrodes manufactured by McKay be stored in the holding oven at 275 F.
.. Con-PG Procedure No. QCP-B8, Revision 4, Paragraph 4.7.1 states that ".
sumable inserts may be withdrawn provided that the requirements of 4.7 are met and that each consumable insert is tagged with the weld number that it is being I
withdrawn for."
PG Procedure No. QCP-B8, Revision 4, Paragraph 4.13, states, that "When the i
welder has completed the welds that the material was drawn for, or when he j
has used up the material on his welding electrode slip (Form PG-110-9) or at the end of the shift, he will return to the warehouseman his stubs, any excess
^
4 weld material and the duplicate copy of the welding electrode slip."
Contcary to the above, during the inspection, the inspector established that control of welding material is inadequate. Examples of this inadequacy are l
cited below:
a.
A consumable insert for weld No. CV10-FW26C was issued to a welder on July 21, 1980. Another consumable insert for weld No. CV10-FW17A was issued to the same welder on July 24, 1980.
A consumable insert was tack welded to weld No. CV10-FW17A on July 24, 1980. A consumable ring without tag was also in the possession of this welder on July 24, 1980 and no consumable insert was tack welded to weld No. CV10-FW26C.
Furthermore, evidence to indicate that the consumable insert for weld No. CV10-FW26C was returned to the warehouseman since its issuance on 4
