ATTACHMENT I Response to Appendix A Violation As a result of the inspection conducted on September 1-30,

1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,

1980), the following violation was i

identified:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B,

Criterion III, states, in part, that:

" Design changes, including field changes, shall be subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design and be approved by the organization that performed the original design..."

The Limerick PSAR, Appendix D,

Paragraph 7.3, states, in part:

"...Bechtvl Engineering has an internal design control program."

Bechtel Job Rule 8031-JR-M-17, " Field Control of Pipe Supports (Hangers)," Paragraph 5.6.1, states, in part:

" Rework of a hanger to a condition other than that specified on the hanger detail drawing...may proceed if an FCR (Field Change Request) is written within three (3) days..."

Contrary to the above, on or before July, 1981, pipe support GBB-101-H3 was installed with the beam and connections (item 17) to a condition other than that specified on the hanger detail drawing GBB-101-H3.

On September 29, 1981, a Field Change Request had not been initiated for the change.

xesponse to Violation FCR Number M-8982F was initiated on September 30, 1981 to document the change in design to pipe support GBB-101-H3.

This FCR was subsequently approved on October ?6, 1981.

To prevent a recurrence, Bechtel Job Rule 8031-JR-M-17 was revised to more clearly describe the intent and timing of FCR's for pipe supports.

These clarifications are now incorporated in revision 9 of the Job Rule issued on October 30, 1981.

Also, the involved engineers and superintendents were indoc-trinated in the revised job rule requirements in a training class held on November 3, 1981.
