APPENDIX A Combustion. Engineering, Inc.
Power Systems Group Docket No. 99900002/83-01 NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on March 8-10, 1983, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in accordance with NRC requirements as indicated below:
Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 states:
" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accord-ance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily i
accomplished."
Nonconformances with these requirements are as follows:
A.
Paragraph 5.7.2 of Section 5 in the Quality Assurance Manual, Revision 7, states in regard to the identification of components used in assemblies,
" Production / Materials Control shall record the material release number on the traveler for those units released to the fabrication process."
Contrary to the above, four lots (115-1,128-1,114-1, and 113-1) of control element assemblies were found in the fabrication process for which all of the applicable release numbers had not been recorded on the trav-elers; e.g., the release number for the poison pellets and compression sleeve used for lot 115-1 had not been entered and the traveler for lot 128-1 was missing the release number for the poison pellets and spring that were used.
B.
Paragraph E.2 of Operation Sheet No. 1242, Revision 16, " General Inspection Instructions," states, in part, " Initial each characteristic inspected and accepted on Inspection Record Form.... When all characteristics are accepted at the inspection operation initial and date traveler in sign off column."
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector observed examples where inspection operations on travelers had been initialed without the prior initialing (acceptance) of all applicable characteristics on the relevant Inspection Record Form. The travelers for lots 115-1 and 128-1 control element
(
assemblies had operation 525 initialed which pertained to inspection L
characteristics 4, 8, 14-19, and 40. The relevant Inspection Record Forms l
did not, however, have characteristics 14-19 for lot 115-1 and characteristics 19 and 40 for lot 128-1 initialed.
