A.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, as implemented by Phipps Bend PSAR Section 17.1A.5, requires that activities affecting quality be prescribed and accomplished by appropriate documented procedures, instructions and drawings. TVA procedure CEP 15.03 requires identification of questionable conditions of compliance on a QC Investigation Report (QCIR). TVA instruc-tion QCI W-116R0 requires a chart of the location and size of prepared cavities for base metal repairs.
Contrary to the above, on May 6,1981, proper instructions had not been provided for repairs to Containment Sump Liner T13-XX 004-1 and irstructions for documenting repair cavities and questionable conditions had not been met.
The sketch provided with the instructions for completed base metal repairs (as described in QCIR 21617) did not adequately identify the areas to be repaired on sump T13-XX 004-1. Some areas of excessive undercut and a gouge (questionable conditions of compliance) on the sump were not identi-fied on a QCIR. A chart had not been prepared giving the location and depth of weld repair cavities on the sump.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement II.E).
B.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion IX, as implemented by Phipps Bend PSAR Section 17.1A.9, requires that measures be established to assure that special processes are controlled and accomplished using procedures ' s, accordance with applicable codes, standards, special criteria, etc.

The cards for the welds described above recorded a thickness of.422 inches. The cards for safety related piping welds (Air Positive Seal System) P1 P6100038 and 39 recorded a.133 thickness.
