ATTACHMENT Item of Noncompliance As a result of the inspection conducted on September 10, 18, October 2, 5-8, and 18, 1982, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, 47 FR 9987 (March 9,1982), the following violation was identified:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V states:
" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, proce-dures, or drawin,.,s, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings."
Morrison Construction Company Standard Operating Procedure PC-2, Welding Materials Coatrol Procedure, Revision 8, dated February 1982, Paragraph 8.9 states, "All covered electrodes other than EXX10 shall be maintained in portable rod ovens.
EXX10 elec-trodes shall be maintained in rod buckets.
Filler wire shall be maintained in filler wire tubes.
Welding material containers shall be given to Craft personnel upon presentation of employee numbers.
All portable rod heaters and filler wire tubes shall be returned to a Rod Issue Room before the end of each shift.
1 Contrary to the above, on October 6, 1982, the inspector and two licensee individuals while on an inspection near structural beam 4
R-20, at elevation 687, noticed a rod bucket belonging to the l
Morrison Construction Company which contained approximately one dozen 7018 weld electrodes.
Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved Morrison Construction Company (MCCo) Standard Operating Procedure PC-2, Welding Materials Control Procedure, Sections 8.9 and.8.10 have been reworded to avoid conflicting statements within the procedure.
In essence, covered electrodes, other than EXX10 electrodes shall oe issued in a portable rod oven.
Portable rod ovens containing covered electrodes shall remain energized when a power source is available.
When a power source is not availabe or when covered electrodes are removed from an energized or de-energized portable rod oven, specific time limits for types of covered electrodes apply.
l
,a e
' Corrective Action Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance Commonwealth Edison Company believes that MCCo procedure PC-2, Revision 8, dated February, 1982, sections 8.8, 8.9, and 8.10 did allow the cited practice.
It should be noted that the subject weld rod material was always in a controlled condition.
As a measure to avoid future misinterpretation, PC-2 was revised to more clearly state the ongoing field practice.
Consequently, no further corrective action is required.
Date of Full Compliance Full compliance has been achieved.
