Docket No. 99900505/81-01 NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on February 2-6, 1981, it appeared that certain of your activities were not conducted in full conformance with NRC requirements as indicated below:

Criterion V of Appendix B co 10 CFR Part 50 states:

" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instruc-tions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, pro-cedures, or drawings.

Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."

Identified nonconformances are as follows:

A.

Ebasco procedures QA-II-9, Revision 2 (Quality Assurance Audits); QC-7 dated February 8, 1977 (Quality Assurance Audits); and A-45, dated December 20, 1976 (Ebasco Management QA Audit Committee Procedure) pre-scribe the authority, duties and responsibilities of the Senior Vice President Nuclear in regard to the Ebasco Management Audit function.

Contrary to the above, the position of Senior Vice-President Nuclear has been abolished, but the above procedures have not been revised to prescribe who will perform, or how the duties and responsibilities of the Senior Vice Presiderit Nuclear are to be performed, in regard to the Ebasco Management Audit function.

B.

Procedure QA-G.3, Revision 5 (Qualification of QA Audit Personnel), states in part that a record of all audits performed by quality assurance auditors or auditor trainees shall be documented and maintained on Form 1306-6.

l Further, one of the requirements for Lead Auditor is that the individual shall have participated in a minimum of five Nuclear Quality Assurance l

Program audits.

Contrary to the above, two quality assurance auditors were certified as Lead Auditors; however, none of the audit records maintained for these two individuals, including the 1306-6 forms, showed that the minimum requirement of five audits had been performed.
