University Nuclear Systems Incorporated (UNSI) procedure QCP/CP 27.0, Revision 9, dated May 11,1981, " Duct, Hangers, and Accessories Installation Inspection" paragraph 6.1 states in part:
"The installation foreman is responsible to enter all appropriate data on the IPI as work is performed." IPIs are defined in the procedure as "In-Process Inspection Records."
QCP/CP No. 22, Revision 6, dated 7/8/81 " General Welding Standards" paragraph 7.1 states in part:
"The identity of all welders...who have worked on specific joints...shall be recorded for all Quality Class I weld joints....
Contrary to the above, an installation foreman erroneously listed welder number 3544 as the welder identity for twenty-five duct branch take off modifications on IPIs Nos. 5544, 5546, 5554 and 5557 on January 18 and 19, 1982. Welder 3544 had used only 26 welding electrodes as documented on Welding Filler Metal Withdrawal Slip Nos. 1476 and 1483 whereas a minimum of 75 welding electrodes would be required to perform the duct modifications credited to the welder.
This is a Severity Level V Violation applicable to Unit 1.
B.
10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion XVI and Section 17.1.16 of the PSAR state in part: " Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality,...are promptly identified and corrected.

The Metal Withdrawal Slip forms show low hydrogen E7013 welding electrodes were not returned within a four hour usage time limit specified by AWS D.1.1.
Documentation was not available to substantiate that corrective action had been taken nor that an evaluation of welds made with the electrodes had been performed.
This is a Severity Level V Violation applicable to Unit 1.

"This General Welding Standard is to be used in conjunction with the applicable Welding Procedure Specification...to govern all welding operations." The Welding Procedure Specification form Attachment (1) to QCP/CP No.
22.0 requires the applicable weld joint type and base metal thickness range be entered on the form.
The UNSI Welding Procedure Specifications issued for use specify the applicable weld joint type and applicable base metal thickness range.
Contrary to the above, UNSI memorandum number 23670 dated January 27, 1982 was issued to all field supervision and stated in part:
"WPS Material Thickness Limitations apply to groove welds only. Fillet welds may be made using any WPS...WITHOUT REGARD _ TO MATERIAL TilICKNESS."
The general superintendent who issued the memorandum stated the reason the memorandum was issued was because the WPS specified current ranges for the WPS soecified material thicknesses were not sufficient for some fillet welds.
l This is a Severity Level V violation, Supplement II, applicable to Unit 1.
This is a repeat item of noncompliance.
