U 10CFR50, Appendix B, Violation (Noncompliance 50-508/82-02/01) 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion V states, in part, " Activities affecting quality shall be... accomplished in accordance with... procedures..." A required quality affecting activity is defined by Criterion X:II of Appen-dix 8 which states, in part, that " Measures shall be established to con-trol the... storage...of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions to prevent damage or deterioration."

Section 17.1.13 (as amended) of the WNP-3/5 PSAR describes how Criterion XIII is implemented and states, in part, " Items delivered to the site are stored, handled, and preserved in accordance with procurement documents and equipment manufacturer's requirements.

These functions are performed in accordance with approved procedures and instructions on a scheduled basis and corrective action is taken when required."

Also, in the management plan for the extended construction delay of WNP-5 presented to the USNRC RV on December 10, 1981, the statement is made that:

" Complete surveillance and record keeping functions must be maintained throughout the mothballing period. The condition of the equipment must periodically be verified and all protective measures maintained intact."

Implementing procedures for the above requirements include PSP MM-ll-1 and PKS-CP-1 as well as equipment-specific procedures.

Contrary to the above requirements, Shutdown Cooling Heat Exchangers (SDCHX), Serial Nos. 79217 and 78H-ll8, were not included in the care and maintenance programs of the custodial organizations.

This situation had existed since the two SDCHXs had been returned to the site on August 26, 1981, following factory rework.

This is a Severity Level V violation applicable to Unit 5.

Background

The subject noncompliance identified three site organizations - Ebasco, Combustion Engineering (CE) and Peter Kiewit Sons (PKS), as responsible for care and maintenance of the WNP-5 Shutdown Cooling Heat Exchangers (SDCHXs). The NRC Inspector's inclusion of PKS resulted from erroneous information provided by Ebasco's computerized material control system (CCCS). A subsequent review of additional Ebasco records revealed that PKS never had custody of the Unit 5 SDCHXs after return of the equipment to the site.

The SDCHXs had been returned to the vendor for rework of nonconforming conditions. Upon completion of rework and return of the SDCHXs to the site, CE was required by contractual obligations to return the equipment to its original installed location. Due to the uniqueness of this situ-ation (i.e., CE required to place the SDCHXs directly in the Reactor Auxiliary Building), Ebasco's material control system was inadvertently circumvented.

Page 2 May 28, 1982 Background (Continued)

The failure to incorporate the WNP-5 SDCHXs into the Material Control Pro-gram and the input of inconect data into the computerized material con-trol system (CCCS) resulted in a lack of preventive maintenance control for the SCCHXs.

Corrective Actions Taken Corrective actions were taken as follows:

e Two NCRs were initiated to document the omission of SDCHXs Nos.

79217 and 78H-ll8 from the Care and Maintenance Program.

The NCRs noted that the condition of the two SDCHXs was indeterminate.

As a result, the disposition required inspections to establish that the equipment meets its requisite quality level. These in-spections are presently in progress.

e The two SDCHXs (79217 and 78H-118) have been placed in the Care and Maintenance Program which will assure monthly monitoring for adequate maintenance of the nitrogen purge and damage or deleter-ious conditions.

e In conjunction with the above actions, the CCCS material control records are being reviewed to detect erroneous information. This will minimize the incorrect material status provided by the CCCS.

Actions Taken to Prevent Recurrence To prevent future breakdowns in the Material Control Syntam, Ebasco has.

conducted intensive training of all Ebasco personnel involved with the following:

e Receipt and control of owner-furnished material e Equipment and material transfer (EMTRs) between units e Conditional release of material and equipment e Preparation of material requisitions on the warehouse (ROWS)

This training was conducted in March 1982 with additional training to be conducted when required by changes in procedures / personnel.

Date of Full Compliance The date of full compliance for all corrective actions is July 30, 1982.
