APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority License No. CPPR-162 Phipps Bend Based on the NRC inspection September 29 - October 2, 1980, certain of your activities were apparently not conducted in full compliance with NRC require-ments as indicated below. These items have been categorized as described in correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
A.
As required by Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and impleinented by Phipps Bend PSAR Section 17.1A.5 activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented procedures and shall be accomplished in accordance with those procedures. Procedure CEP 8.03 Revision 11, Control of Welding Materials, paragraph 2.D, states in part that " welding QC unit supervisor ensures that segregation is maintained in all instances...".
Contrary to the above, on September 29, 1980, substantial quantities of stainless steel type 308-L and 309-L welding electrodes were observed mixed together inside oven number seven (7) of rod issue station number five (5).
This is an infraction.
B.
As required by Criterion XVIII of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and implementeu by Phipps Bend PSAR Section 17.1A.18, a comprehensive system of planned and periodic audits shall be carried out to verify compliance with all aspects of the quality assurance program and to determine the effectiveness of the program.
Contrary to the above, on October 2, 1980, discussions with responsible licensee QA personnel disclosed that VSL Corporation, contracted to transport, erect, and place the reactor pressure vessel, was not included on TVA's approved vendor list nor was there a preaward corporate survey /
audit performed of VSL Ce poration to evaluate QA program effectiveness and compliance.
This is an infraction.
C.
As required by Criterion VI of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and implemented by Phipps Bend PSAR Section 17.1A.6, measures shall assure that documents, including changes...are distributed to and used at the location where the prescribed activity is performed. VSL Corporation's QA program requires the QA manual to be reviewed every six months and revised as necessary.
Furthennore, it states that " minutes of these meetings", for QA manual review, "shall be maintained in the QA file".
Contrary to the above, on September 30, 1980, VSL Corporation's QA manual had not been properly signed; there was no evidence of revisions to the
- manual, e.g., it made reference to the " Atomic Energy Commission" and there was no objective evidence (minutes) of any past meetings in the QA files.
This is a deficiency.
