- y Pcg2 1 RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION ITEM REPORTED DURING NRC INSPECTION CONDUCTED BE'lVEEN FEBRUARY 2 AND 5, 1981 A.
NRC COMMENT 10 CFR 50," Appendix B Criterion VII as implemented by Topical Report VEP-3-A Section 17.2.7 requires in part that. material received at the Station be inspected to assure that it meets specification requirements, code or other purchasing documents.
Section 7, paragraph 5.1 of VEPCO Nuclear Station QAM requires receipt inspection be performed on material upon its arrival at the Station for manufacturing documentation.
Contrary to the above, receipt inspection had not been performed and quality records were not on hand for 309 stainless bare wire weld material used on safety related field welds.
This is a Severity Level VI Violation (Supplement II.F.).
RESPONSE
1.
ADMISSION OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION The Notice of Violation is correct as stated.
2.
REASONS FOR THE VIOLATION The material was obtained from the construction site warehouse in 1977 for non-safety related use.
Therefore, it was not processed through the QC receipt inspection program.
~~ ~--
PS h h M S W M -
Sin'ce that time, all Station personnel involved in material procure-ment or transfers have been instructed via a memorandum issued by l
the Station Manager (March 15, 1979) and by a revision to the Nuclear Power Station QA Manual (July 23, 1979) to ensure that all material being brought to the Station be processed through the storeroom or warehouse with the proper notification to the QA Department.
The material in question was subsequently receipt inspected.
Adequate documentation was obtained and the material found entirely acceptable for safety-related use.
4.
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATIONS An inventory of all welding material located in areas other than the storeroom or warehouse will be conducted to ensure that all material has been properly receipt inspected.
5.
DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED Full compliance will be achieved on or about May 1, 1981.
