e Attachment to: Letter, G03-83-97, dated February 3,1983.
NRC VIOLATION (Noncompliance 50-508/82-19/01) 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion 3, Design Control, states in part:
"These measures shall include provisions to assure that appropriate quality standards are specified...and that deviation from such standards are controlled."
Among the implementing documents for this criterion is Ebasco Project Site Procedure PSP-RE-2-36 which states, in part, in Section 5.1.23:
" Block 23 -
Site QA Designee signature for QFPCPs affecting Safety Related (Nuclear)
Specifications / Drawing Notes is required as defined below:
(a) Applicaoie regulatory, code and design requirements..."
Contrary to this requiremert, on October 4,1982, it was found that tension ring welds of the "left-in-place" dome formwork were being made by an un-qualified weld procedure. The use of this unqualified procedure had been authorized by QFPCP 35 Q 12489. This QFPCP had not been concurred in by the Ebasco (or Supply System) Quality Assurance organization. This QFPCP changed Ebasco Specification 884-WC-80, Section 3.2, which requires that welding procedure qualification tests be performed in accordance with either ASME Section IX or AWS Dl.1 codes.
Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved The violation noted that Block 23 (Site QA Designee) of the QFPCP was not signed by the Ebasco Quality Assurance organization. This resulted from the originator incorrectly checking Block 19 of the QFPCP as a " Drawing Configuration Change." Drawing configuration changes do not require QA review and approval. The " Specification or Drawing Note Change" portion of Block 19, which does require QA approval, should have been checked.
The discrepant QFPCP was retrieved from Quality Assurance Records and Block 19 changed to reflect a specification or drawing note change. The QFPCP was then reviewed and approved by Ebasco Quality Assurance Engineering as required.
The responsible individual was aware of the requirements concerning Block 19 and had received previous training to the requirements of the governing instruction. The incorrect portion of Block 19 was inadvertently checked.
Twenty-two (22) QFPCPs, initiated by the author of the QFPCP identified in the violation, were reviewed by Resident Engineering. No additional instances of incorrectly marking Block 19 were found.
To satisfy NRC and Supply System technical concerns, a weld procedure qualification test was performed by the contractor. The results were reviewed and approved by Ebasco.
j Attachment to: Letter, G03-83-97, dated February 3,1983.
Corrective Steps Taken to Avoid Further Items of Noncompliance The originator of the deficient QFPCP received reading assignment training to the requirements of the governing instruction. Additional training for the originator was provided as a result of requiring the individual to provide Resident Engineering's response to the subject Item of Noncompliance.
Date of Full Compliance Full compliance was achieved on December 21, 1982.
