o APPENDIX A NOTICE OF DEVIATION Metropolitan Edison Company Docket No. 50-320 Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on July 6 - August 31, 1980, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in conformance with your commitments to the Commission as indicated below:
A.
The Technical Evaluation Report for the submerged demineralizer system transmitted to NRC by a letter from G. K. Hovey, Director, TMI-2, to J. T. Collins, Deputy Program Director, NRC TMI Program Office, dated April 10,1980, states in part, "...The regulatory guidance followed during the design of the submerged demineralizer system was extracted from the following documents:
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Guide 1.143 dated July 1978...."
Regulatory Guide 1.143 " Design Guidance for Radioactive Waste Management Systems, Structures and Components Installed in Light-Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants," states in part:
.. 4.2.3.2 System Constructor (1) Inspection:
In addition to the required code inspections a program for inspection of activities affecting quality shall be established and executed by or for the organization performing the activities to verify conformance aith the documented instructions, procedures, and drawings for accomplishing the activities...."
Implicit in this quotation is the basic quality assurance concept that activities affecting quality should be accomplished in accordance with documented instructions, procedures, and drawings which, if they are to be used, should be readily available to the person (s) performing the activities.
Contrary to the above, on July 23-25, 1980, during an inspection of the i
pipe welding activities relative to the fabrication of the submerged demineralizer system in the spent fuel storage pool, the inspector noted that the applicable welding procedure specification SP-4200-SS(N)-101A containing quality characteristics important to controlling weld quality was not readily available at the location where the welding activities were being performed.

Appendix A 2
Regulatory Guide 1.143 " Design Guidance for Radioactive Waste Management Systems, Structures and Components Installed in Light-Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants" states in part, ".. 4.2.3.2 System Constructor (1) Inspection:
In addition to required code inspections a program for inspection of activities affecting quality shall be established and executed by or for the organization performing the activity to verify conformances with the documented instructions procedures, and drawings for accomplishing the activities...."
Contrary to the above, on July 23-25. 1980, during an inspection of the pipe welding activities related to the fabrication of the submerged demineralizer system in the spent fuel storage pool, the inspector noted that there were no Quality Control procedures, inspection check lists, or any inprocess inspection activities inherent to a Quality Control program for the inspection of activities affecting quality.
