1 The Superintendent of Field QC is responsible for assuring that all QC field tests specified are performed under proper environmental conditions, with adequate test instrumentation and by qualified personnel. Bypassing of any required inspections or tests will be documented as incompleted items in~ the test index discussed in the last paragraph of Section 17.1.14A. All items must be completed prior to final sign-off by Quality Control personnel.
Written test procedures shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
- a. Provisions to ensure that all test prerequisites have been met prior to the start of the test.
- b. Requirements and acceptance limits shall be specified as required by design documents.
- c. Required accuracy and type of test instrumentation to be used.

Procedures for the turnover of systems and components to plant operating personnel are mutually established by Gulf States and l SWEC. Field QC surveillance is relinquished when the structure, l system, or component is turned over to Gulf States. -
l Preoperational and startup testing and' plant operation is accomplished l by qualified personnel in accordance with written procedures.
17.1.15B Nonconforming Materials, Parts, and Components l Measures are taken to control nonconforming or unsatisfactory material, parts or components.
Material, equipment, and workmanship that deviates from approved specifications, codes, plans, or other applicable documents are n, l considered unsatisfactory / nonconforming conditions and are controlled in order to prevent their inadvertent use in fabrication and/or installation. The control of nonconformances is detailed in written procedures which describe specific identification, documentation, segregation, disposition, and notification requirements.
Nonconformances discovered during any phase of engineering, manufacturing, fabrication, shipment, receipt, storage, installation, l
construction, or testing are reviewed and accepted, rejected, repaired, reworked, or scrapped in accordance with documented procedures.
Documented procedures reference the individual's and groups' responsibility for assigning dispositions to those nonconformances that can or cannot be corrected to meet the requirements and scope of the specification, code, plan, or other applicable documents. The procedures also reference the ultimate disposition, acceptance and repair and rework acceptance of the nonconformance.
l 17.1.15.1B Nonconformances at Seller Shops
( l A nonconformance discovered in a vendor's shop by a Procurement QA ,. . .a ,
l l Inspector, which requires a SWEC engineering'rssolution, is reported l l both on his Inspection Report and recorded on a N&D Report. These l Reports are sent to the Procurement QA Division and the Project c.

17.1.15.2B Nonconformities at Construction Site .
l Written procedures in the Quality Standards Manual detail the use of l SWEC's Nonconformance and Disposition Reporting System. By use of an l unsatisfactory inspection report or N&D Report, responsible individuals I are required to provide a disposition to the nonconformance within l their assigned authority and responsibility. If the deficiency cannot l be resolved to meet the specification or requires a special repair l procedure, the N&D Report is forwarded to the Project Engineer for his l resolution. The nonconformity is considered closed when the required disposition has been accomplished and reinspection verifies that adherence to disposition requirements have been met. The l unsatisfactory inspection report or N&D is then signed by the l Superintendent of Field QC and entered in the Master QC File.
l When a nonconforming condition is identified by organizations other l than the above, including GSU, N&D's can be initiated by that l organization after contacting the Superintendent of FQC or the Chief of l the responsible Procurement QA district as appropriate.
17.1.16B Corrective Action
. 17.1.16.1B General Description 1 The unsatisfactory inspection reports and N&D Reports issued for both l shop and field nonconformance items are used by the QA Department and management for analysis. As indicated by the results of analysis, the QA Department recommends appropriate measures designed to control and prevent recurring discrepancies and conditions adverse to quality.
Corrective actions are documented and the effectiveness of the corrective actions reviewed by the QA Department management.
l l The Project QA Program Administrator is responsible for follow-through l of corrective actions resulting from internal project audits, and from
- l NRC and Gulf States audits.
17.1.16.2B Recurrence Preventive Action Feedback information on nonconformances is transmitted from Shop and Field QC to Headquarters QC, and collected using a computer program.
l The data is analyzed and evaluated by QA personnel, after which corrective action is recommended to assist in controlling and l preventing recurrences of nonconformances. -
