Dear Mr. Haynes:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-354/82-07 NO. 1 UNIT HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION Your letter dated July 22, 1982, transmitted the above ref-erenced Inspection Report which contained a Notice of Viola-tion citing three items of noncompliance.
The following response is provided in accordance with the Notice of Viola-tion.
I.
As of June 15, 1982, shear connectors installed on l
floor slab support beams supplied by Lakeside Bridge and Steel Co., under requirements of Specification C-151(Q), were not bend tested in ::cordance with AWS Dl.1 Code requirements.
Additionally, Bechtel Sup-plier Quality failed to identify this problem prior to release of the beams for shipment.
Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved On June 21, 1982, a hold on shipment was placed against the Lakeside P.O. 10855-C-151A(Q)-AC and was maintained until review and approval of a Lakeside procedure for testing Nelson studs was completed by Bechtel.
The Supplier Quality Representative at Lake-side withheld further shipments of structural steel with Nelson studs until they were tested in accordance with the approved procedure.
Bechtel has satisfacto-rily performed bend test in accordance with AWS Dl.1 on the structural steel previously shipped by Lakeside.

C. Haynes 8/19/82 Corrcctive Steps Taken to Preclude Recurrence The Bechtel Procurement Ouality Supplier Plan for C-151A(0)-AC (Rev. O - dated 3/23/82) was amended on June 21, 1982, to require bend testing of Nelson studs per AWS D1.1 requirements and the supplier's approved procedure.
All other Purchase Order Ouality Plans for structural steel, miscellaneous metal, and embeds were reviewed and found to contain appropriate instructions for the testing of Nelson studs.
Date of Full Compliance Lakeside testing program in accordance with AWS Dl.1 was implemented on June 22, 1982, and the testing of Nelson studs on previously supplied steel was com-pleted on July 19, 1982.

As of June 18, 1982, W-H quality control personnel were not qualified or certified in accordance with the requirements of NRC Generic Letter 81-01 or the W-H OA manual.
Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved On June 18, 1982, all construction and inspection ac-tivities for safety related HVAC were stopped by issu-ance of Bechtel Stop Work Order No. 11.
A detailed review of W-H Constructors' OC personnel qualification records foron-site personnel was performed.
Criteria for the review included ANSI N 45.2.6 (1978), Regula-tory Guide 1.58 and the W-H OA manual.
It was found that all on-site Level II personnel met the education and experience criteria of ANSI N 45.2.6 and, there-fore, were fully qualified to perform required inspec-tions.
It was determined that the Level III QC Supervisor did not have sufficient experience and edu-cation documented for a Level III certification.
That individual was downgraded to a Level II and the Level III activities which he had performed were reviewed and recertified by a properly certified Level III.
In performing the detailed review described above, admin-istration errors noted in the individual certification packages were corrected by W-H Constructors.
Upon verification of all required corrections, the Stop wjw u a Work Order was lifted.
