REPORT NO: RII:JLS 81-03 NOTICE

OF VIOLATION A

EVENT DATE: FEBRUARY.2,'1981

DESCRIPTION OF EVENT

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion. XVII requires _that consistent with regulatory

requirements, the applicant establish requirements concerning record location.

~

Revision 2 which endorses ANSI N45.2.9-1974. - Section 5.2 of ANSI N45.2.9-1974

states that the quality assurance record files shall be stored in predeter-

mined locations, as necessary to meet the_ requirements of applicable codes,

standards 2nd regulatory agencies.

presently.srored in.the permanent record vault were not stored in pre-

determined locations.

ADMISSION OR DENIAL OF ALLEGED VIOLATIONS.

REASONS FOR VIOLATION

It has been the understanding of South Carolina Electric and Gas Company that

the temporary nature of such storage facility locations during the construc-

tion phase.

CORRECTIVE STEPS TAKEN

A revision to AP.301.2, " Nuclear Operations Records Control Procedure", has

been submitted for approval. This revision reflects the requirement for

Qualirv Assurance records retention in predetermined locations and provides

a list of all such authorized locations.

CORRECTIVE STEPS TO BE TAKEN TO PRECLUDE RECURRENCE

A transmittal to appropriate plant personnel will be issued requiring their

review of the subject requirements and full compliance thereto.

DATE OF FULL COMPLIANCE

All actions stated above shall be effected by April 20, 1981.
