Appendix A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Nebraska Public Power District Docket: 50-298 Cooper Nuclear Station License: DPR-46 Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during the period October 13-16, 1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,1980), the following violation was identified:
Failure to Follow Instructions for Welding Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions.
Technical Specification for installation of torus saddles, NPPD Contract No. 80-28, Section G, Part IV, paragraph 6.4.2 requires that the weld overlay used on the torus shell shall extend 1/2 inch minimum beyond the toe of attachment welds.
Contrary to the above:
The NRr inspector observed, during a previous inspection on September 3, 1981, that areas on each of the four saddles inspected, saddles 8 through 11, did not satisfy the Technical Specification requirement, in that, the overlay extends less than 1/4 inch beyond the attachment weld toe.
The NRC inspector determined on October 14, 1981, that the change in welding technique, from that specified in the Technical Specification, had not been authorized; and during this inspection, upgraded the unresolved item to a violation.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement I.E.).
