Appendix NOTICE OF VIOLATION Consumers Power Company Docket No. 50-329 Docket No. 50-330 As a result of the inspection conducted on March 17-19, 1982, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, 47 FR 9987 (March 9, 1982),

the following violations were identified:

1.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion II states, in part, "The quality assurance program shall provide control over activities affecting the quality of the identified structures, systems, and components, to an extent consistent with their importance to safety. Activities affecting quality shall be accomplished under suitably controlled conditions."

Consumers Power Company Quality Assurance Program Policy No. 2, Revision 11, Paragraph 1.0 states, in part, "The Quality Assurance Program assures that activities affecting quality are accomplished by use of appropriate equipment and under suitable environmental conditions. The program establishes the requirements for special controls, processes, test equipment..."

Contrary to the above, the Midland Project Quality Assurance Department has not adequately established a Quality Assurance Pro-gram which provides controls over the installation of underpinning instrumentation. This condition is exemplified by the installation of underpinning instrumentation cables without documented procedures, approved drawings, or the development and implementation of inspection and audit requirements.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement II).

2.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion X states, in part, "A program for inspection activities affecting quality shall be established and executed by or for the organization performing the activity to verify conformance with the documented instructions, procedures, and drawings for accomplishing the activity."

Contrary to the above, licensee construction quality control in-spections performed during the period of October 9, 1978 and July 21, 1981 failed to verify conformance of cable pulling activities with documented instructions as follows:

a.

Paragraph 2.6 of Project Quality Control Instruction E-4.0 states, in part, " Verify that the cable is correctly installed in the identified vias as specified on the cable pull card."

Fifty-five Class 1E cables were inspected and accepted even though the cables were not routed in accordance with the cable pull cards.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement II).
