APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Georgia Power Company Docket Nos. 50-321, 50-366 Hatch 1 & 2 License Nos. DPR-57, NPF-5 As a result of the inspection conducted on October 26-30, 1981 and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,1980), the following violations were identified.

A.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XII requires that measures be established to assure that tools, gages, instruments, and other measuring and testing devices used in activities affecting quality are properly controlled, calibrated, and adjusted at specified periods to maintain accuracy within necessary limits.

The approved QA Program (FSAR 17.2.12) endorses ANSI N18.7-1976.

Paragraph 5.2.16 of this standard states that when measuring devices are found out of calibration, an evaluation shall be made and documented concerning the validity of previous tests and the acceptability of devices previously tested from the time of the previous calibration.

Contrary to the above, measures have not been established to assure the validity of tests since the previous calibration when measuring and test equipment used on instrumentation and control systems is subsequently found out of calibration.

This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).

B.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V requires that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures or drawings appropriate to the circumstances. The accepted QA Program (FSAR 17.2.5.1) requires that administrative procedures, inspection plans, tests, calibra-tions, special processes, maintenance, modifications, repair procedures and changes thereto be reviewed and concurred with by the site QA department to ensure inclusion of qual

, requirements. HNP-25, Quality Assurance Review of Plant Procedures establishes the method of complying with FSAR Section 17.2.5.

Contrary to the above, HNP-25 is inadequate for the following reasons:

C 1.

Table 1 does not include all procedures required to be reviewed by QA.

2.

Figu. 1 is not included in the procedure but referenced in several procedural steps involving mandatory and recommended changes.

3.

A method is not provided by which QA concurs that a procedure contains acceptable quality assurance requirements prior to issuance.

Mandatory changes must be made to comply with guidelines, but step C.5 states that QA comments will be considered for implementation ina subsequent prucedure revision.

5.

The procedure does not address the requirement that changes to existing procedures be reviewed for quality requirements by the QA Department.

This is a Severity V Level Violation (Supplement I).
