- Duke Power Company Catawba Nuclear Station Responce'to Violation 414/81-20-01:
Violation:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion IX as Laplemented by Duke Power Company (DPC) Topical Report "DF.E-1-A" Section 17.1.9 requires measures be estab-lished to assure that s/ecial processes, including welding are controlled.
Contrary to the above,.on September 23, 1981, adequate measures were not established-to assure that special processes including welding were con-trolled in that the welding filler material issue station issued type E-10018 electrodes in lieu of type E-7018 electrodes to three welders and documented that type E-7018 electrodes had been issued. The type E-10018 electrodes went undetected by the issue station personnel and the three welders.
Response
Duke admits the violation. An issue station clerk placed the E10018 elec-trodes in an oven designated to hold E7018. Another clerk then issued the E10018 under the assumption they were E7018 electrodes. The material was issued to three welders, and E7018 was 31sted on the accompanying issue slips. Neither the' clerk nor the welders double-checked to assure the issue slip information and material corresponded. All five individuals have received disciplinary action.
This incident was documented on NCIR 12,893, not NCIR 12,892 L as stated in the inspector's report. This NCIR has.been resolved and action to revise Construction Procedure 39 stated. This construction procedure was revised:
to give specitic instructions in the proper: loading of electrode ovens..A log form has been included in the revision to~ allow the loader to document his actions and assure that another-issue station clerk reviews his work
. for correctness.
As the NCIR has been resolved and the construction procedure revised,' full'
~
compliance'with~10 CFR 50 Appendix B has.now been met.
