Washington Public Power Supply System P. O. Box 968 Richland, Washington 99352 Docket Nos. 50-508, 50-509

. Construction Permit Nos. CPPR-154, 155 APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION As a result of the inspection conducted on January 13-16, 1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,1980),

the following violation was identified:

t 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, as implemented by Section 17.4.5 of the Quality Assurance Program documented in the approved PSAR deviation 18-WP, states, in part, that " Activities affecting quality...shall be accomplished in accordance with... instructions, procedures or drawings."

Morrison-Knudsen Administrative Instruction Procedure Number 15,

" Stud Welding Inspection Procedure," states in paragraph 6.3 that, "Each operator shall bend the first two studs on eagh day's production to 30 and the first two studs on each member to 30 ", in paragraph 6.8 that, "The operator shall circle with a paint stick, or paint a line up the shank of the first two studs bent on each new member", and in paragraph 6.5 that, "All ferrules must be broken off by the operator prior to inspection".

Contrary to the above, on January 14, 1981 on the southside of Unit 5 elevation 362', the inspectors observed the following:

(1) A stud welding operator welding on a member between columns Nos. CA-12 and CA-13 had welded approximately sixty studs without bending the first two studs.

(2) A number of studs were found which were bent, but had not received the necessary paint mark.

It was later discovered that the Quality Control Inspector had been marking the studs, not the operator.

This second item had been occurring for an indeterminate time in both Units 3 and 5.

(3) Numerous studs were found with parts of the ferrules still in place. These studs had been inspected and accepted by the Morrison-Knudsen Quality Control Inspector.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement II) applicable to Docket Nos. 50-508 and 50-509.
