g APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Kansas Gas and Electric Company Docket: STN 50-482 Wolf Creek, Unit 1 As a result of investigation and inspection activity conducted during the month of April 1981, the following violation was identified.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B Criterion II recuires in part that the Quality Assurance Program shall provide control over activities affecting quality of structures, systems and components.
Criterion VIII requires in part that identification and control
?.easures shall be designed to prevent the use of incorrect or defective material, parts and components.
Criterion XV requires in part that measures shall be established to control materials, parts, or components which do not conform to require-ments in order to prevent their inadvertent use or installation.
Centrary to the above, an unauthorized piping hanger was fabricated fran non-confonning materials to replace an approved safety-related piping hanger (BN 01 C011 123) in the Borated Refueling Water Storage system which was inadvertently destroyed.

This is a Severity Level IV violation.
