NOTICE OF DEVEIATION j
l Arizona Public Service Company Docket No. 50-528 Palo Verde N clear Generating Station Construction Permit No. CPPR-141 u
1 Unit No. 1 EA 83-30 l
EA 83-130 As a result of the inspection conducted between September 6-16, 26-30, October 31, and N vember 1, 1983, and in accordance with the NRC o
Enforcement Policy, 10 CFR 2, Appendix C, the following deviation was identified:
FSAR Section 3.8.1.6.6, Structural and Miscellaneous Steel, states:
'I l
" Welding is done is accordance with AWS D1.1-72, Revision 1, 4
1973, Structural Welding Code. The acceptance criteria for l
visual inspection of welding is done in accordance with AWS
- l D1.72, Revision 1, 1973."
'l q
Contrary to this commitment, Appendix A, Visual Inspection 1
Criteria, for Structural Steel and Miscellaneous' Metal i
Welding to Meet Design Requirements, to Specification 1
13-CM-320, Erection of Structural and Miscellaneous Steel, permits acceptance of undercut, incomplete fusion (rollover or overlap), and underfilled weld craters in amounts or circumstances not allowed by AWS Code as described in NRC Inspection Report No. 50-528/83-34, pages VII-5 and 6.
RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF DEVIATION Corrective Steps Taken And Corrective Steps That Are Planned The structural and miscellaneous steel welding requirements as contained in Specification 13-CM-320 are being revised for clarification and ease l'
of interpretation by Field Change Requests (FCR) 72,146-C,71-023-C, and Specification Change Notice (SCN) 3568. Areas specifically addressed l ';
were weld undersize, oversize, and undercut; additionally, the changes covered both welding requirements and inspection accept / reject criteria.
lj An additional review is being performed to assure that all deviations to l
l AWS Dl.1 meet project design requirements.
'i The FSAR will be revised by SAR Change Notice 1123 which will incorporate the specific welding requirements currently contained in Specification 13-CM-320. The exceptions taken to AWS Dl.1-72, Revision 1, 1973, and the justification for the exceptions, will be incorporated into the FSAR. This change clarifies the licensing document to incorporate the flexibility permitted by the Code. The change also provides consistency between the implemented practice reflected in the construction specification, as allowed by the Code, and the licensing document.

Report 83-72, scheduled for January 27, 1984.
Completion Of Corrective Steps:
A draft revision to FSAR Sections 3.8.1.6.6 and 3A.10 will be submitted for NRC review by March 31, 1984 and incorporated into amendment 13 to l
the FSAR.
