O APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority License Nos. CPPR-150 Eartsville
& CPPR-152 Based on the h3C inspection August 4-8, 1980, certain of your activities were apparently not conducted in full compliance with hTC requirements as indicated below. These items have been categorized as described in correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
A.
As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion IX, as implemented by FSAR paragraph 17.1A.9, " Measures shall be established to assure that specia' processes, including welding, heat treating, and nondestructive testing are controlled and accomplished by qualified personnel using qualified procedures in accordance with applicable codes, standards, specifications, criteria, and other special requirements.
Contrary to the above, the magnetic particle examination procedure, QCI-N201, does not specify the method of applying or removing the magnetic particle powder, nor does it specify the amount of prod overlap to assure 100 percent coverage of the test surface. In addition, a magnetic particle examiner did not apply or remove magnetic particle powder properly, nor was the coverage of the test area considered adequate.
This is an Infraction.
B.
As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion IX, as implemented by FSAR paragraph 17.1A.9, " Measures shall be established to assure that special processes, including welding, heat treating, and nondestructive testing are controlled and accomplished by qualified personnel using qualified procedures in accordance with applicable codes, standards, specifications, criteria, and other special requirements."
Contrary to the above, the training and qualification program for visual examination is not in complete compliance with Section V of ASME (which invokes SNT-TC-1A) in that three year recertification is not required; practical examination does not specify ten checkpoints for establishing examiner candidate proficiency; nor are acceptable / unacceptable surface conditions illustrated, such as in a workmanship sample.
This is an Infraction.
