Appendix A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Union Electric Company Docket No. 50-483 As 'a result of the investigation conducted on February 20, March 3-6, 23-27, 1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1980), the following violation was identified.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion IX, states, " Measures shall be estab-lished to assure that special processes, including welding, heat treating, and nondestructive testing, are controlled and accomplished by qualified personnel using qualified procedures in accordance with applicable codes, standards, specifications, criteria, and other special requirements."
Pipe piece No. SP, part of the accumulator discharge line from accumulator TEPOIA, was manufactured to material specification ASME SA-358.
Specifica-tion SA-358 requires " Radiographic Examination in Accordance with... ASME.."
Sectica I, Paragraph PW-51.
ASME Code,Section I, Paragraph PW-51 states " Sections of weld that are shown by radiography to have any of the following types of imperfections shall be judged unacceptable and shall be repaired..."
51.3.1 Any type of crack, or zone of incomplete fusion or penetration.
Contrary to the above, on March 6,1981, the inspector determined from a review of radiographs of the seam weld on pipe piece No. SP at film location markers 13-14 that the film indicated apparent incomplete fusion and excess reinforcement and yet the pipe piece had not been judged unacceptable or repaired.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement II).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within twenty-five days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply. Since the investigation indicated action had been taken to correct the identified noncompliance, your reply need only address actions to be taken to avoid further noncompliance.
Under the authority of Section 182 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation.
