Re: Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Docket No. 50-410
Dear Mr. Starostecki:
Your Inspection Report No. 50-410/82-07 dated August 5,1982, identified two apparent viclations resulting from an inspection conducted at the Nine Mile Point - Unit 2 construction site.
Niagara Mohawk's response is enclosed.
Very truly yours, NIACARA M0 HAWK POWER CORPORATION S. F. Manno Vice President Nuclear Construction l

NIAGARA M0 HAWK POWER CORPORATION NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION - UNIT 2 DOCKET N0. 50-410 Response to Notice of Violations Attached to NRC Inspection Report No. 50-410/82-07 The first apparent violation was identified as follows:
A.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII, states in part the measures shall be established to control the handling of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions to prevent damage.
Contrary to the above, measures have not been established to contml the handling of piping components and equipment that require special handling instructions because of weight or size, as evidenced by the following deficiencies:
1.
Quality Control personnel duties for inspecting rigging and handling activities were not delineated nor were inspection checklists provided.
2.
The authcrity of the ITT Grinnell QC Inspector has not been established.
During a lift of a 48" main steam header on June 24, 1982, the ITT Grinnell QC Inspector was unable to correct the deficiencies he recognized.
The QC Inspector pointed out the deficiencies to the Rigging Supervisor and requested the lift be halted but the Rigging Supervisor refused to correct the deficiencies or stop the lift for further evaluation.
3.
The main steam header lif t on June 24, 1982, was neither adequately planned nor were adequate instructions provided, and therefore the lif t was not in accordance with sound material handling practices to prevent damage.
Also, dimensional locations for sling attactinents and balance points were not specified for the main steam header or for a diesel fuel tank.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement II).
The following is submitted in response to this item of nonconfonnance:
1.
ITT Grinnell has revised its Field Quality Control (FQC) procedure FQC 4.2-8 to include instructions to the QC inspectors and detailed responsibilities.
The revision to FQC 4.2-8 also includes a checklist.
Interim rigging instructions were issued on June 23, 1982, delineating lift requirements.
.0 2.
Training sessions were held on July 12, 1982, and on July 13, 1982, for the ITT Grinnell QC inspectors to explain ITT Grinnell's stop work directive s.
3.
The responsible Rigging Supervisor who was in charge of the work item was immediately teminated.
The aforementioned action, in conjunction with increased familiarity of the rigging procedures through the fomal and infomal training of the supervisors, will provide increased visibility into problems associated with a lift of this type and preclude the possibility of a recurrence.
The fomal training of the supervisors will be completed by September 30, 1982.
Subsequently, visual inspections of the main steam header showed no damage.
The second apparent violation was identified as follows:
B.
10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion V states in part that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions and procedures and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions and proceures.
Reactor Controls, Inc. Quality Assurance Manual states in Section II, Nonconfoming Items and Corrective Action, dated November 1,1981, "A nonconformance shall be identified with the initiation of a
%nconfomance Report by the Quality Control Supervisor and the Nonconformance Report number entered on the Data Sheet...
tbnconfoming Items require hold status."
Contrary to the above, six jet pump risers which were not within the
+.030" tolerance requirements of the original location and were ir< a iioncotifoming condition, had neither been identified in a i
Nonconfomance Report by the Quality Control Supervisor nor identified as being in a nonconforming condition on the data sheet or in a hold status.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement II).
l The following is submitted in response to this item of nonconfomance:
The nonconfoming condition was caused as the recirculation outlet nozzles were being welded, but before final NDE was perfomed.
This condition was noted and recorded on the appropriate data sheet in accordance with the Reactor Controls, Incorporated (RCI), instruction RIM-1, also at which time a draft nonconfomance report was developed but not logged in or l
issued.
1 RCI managers and Quality Control personnel have recently completed a training program on nonconfoming items and corrective actions.
It should eliminate occurrence of such conditions in the future.
RCI has since issued Nonconfomance Report No. Nif-045 to document the out-of-tolerance conditions identified during the subject inspection.
