i ENCLOSURE t

Issue 1; On March 28,1991 a QC inspector was called by Generation Construction to 7

perform a final weld inspection of a prefabricated structure for the new steam jet air ejector j

monitor. The final inspection was part of procedure GWS-006. After the inspection, the QC i

inspector questioned if a " fit-up" inspection had been completed, as required by procedure.

j The fabrication and assembly of the structure were Non-QA, thus as required by GWS-006,

[

the job supervisor performs the " fit-up" inspection. Based on indication that no " fit-up" inspection had been completed, the QC inspector initiated NCR 2-91-035. On April 1, l

Generation Construction completed the authorized work order and documented that a " fit-up" l

inspection had been completed; however, it had not been completed. This is the way non-l QA inspection and documentation are normally accomplished.

-f Please discuss the validity of the above assertions. Please discuss the need for a " fit-up" inspection and the circumstances surrounding its comp!etion, if required. Please discuss any corrective actions that you have taken or may take in response to any identified problems in

.l procedural compliance or quality controls. Please discuss if the assertions are indicative of any generic problems.

t i

i l

Issue 2; On April 8,1991, a NNECO technician (") and a contractor were assigned fire protection surveillance, IC-2439A. The NNECO technician had never been trained on the

{

surveillance procedure. On April 3,1991, another technician was performing monthly function surveillance SP-2410A for the acoustic valve monitoring system associated with the

'y pressurizer relief valves. This was the first time the technician had performed the surveillance since the last major revision and again, there had been no training on the conduct of the procedures with the incorporated revisions. In both cases, the technicians experienced i

difficulty in completing the procedures and numerous questions were raised.

Please discuss the validity of the above assenions. Please discuss employee training prior to performance of complex surveillances especially in cases involving first time assignment and performance subsequent to major revisions. Please discuss any corrective actions that you j

have taken or will take in these cases, to ensure that the surveillances are completed

)

competently and safely.
