Serial CSC-7066 CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO US NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION, REGION III INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-329/83-23 (OSC) & 50-330/El-24 (OSC)
Appendix (Notice of Violation) to Inspection Reports No. 50-329/83-23 (OSC) and 50-330/83-24 (OSC) provides an Item of Noncompliance to 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
The NRC statement and our response are given below:
NRC STATEMENT 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, states, in part, " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or draw-ings.
. and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings."
CPC-1A, Policy No. 5, Instructions, Procedures and Drawings, states, in part,
" Instructions for controlling and performing activities affecting quality of equipment or activities such as.
inspecting.
. are documented in instructions, procedures, specifications, checklists and other forms of documents."
Contrary to the above, the Project Quality Control Instructions (PQCI) for the inspection of (1) the static cone penetrometer tests at OBS-4 and (2) the calibration of the hydraulic meters, failea to require the verification that the calibration stickers were affixed to the apparatus as required by UST Procedure QCP-21.
As a result, calibration stickers were not affixed to the hydraulic meters measuring penetromecer reciatance rendering the accuracy of the instruments to be indeterminate.
CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY RESPONSE In accordance with this Notice of Violation, explanation of corrective action is as follows; 1.
Corrective Action Taken and the Results Achieved:
CPCo has initiated a nonconformance report, QAR No. RS-00024, regarding the omission of calibration stickers at the subject equipment. The equipment was calibrated in accordance with Project requirements and documentation was on file certifying this. The PQCI required a review of calibration records and verification that the instruments had been calib-rated prior to use.
This review was completed per requirements on the subject equipment. Therefore, the accuracy at the time of use was not indeterminate. However, the omission of the calibration sticker on the equipment was contrary to U.S. Testing requirements and the PQCI did not require verification that the sticker had been applied.
A requirement for calibration stickers has been added to the U.S. Testing technicians checklist for load cell calibration and tl.e P0CI for Inspection of Static Cone Penetrometer Test has been revised to require a OCl283-0001A-t"P1
L Serial CSC-7066 L
QC Inspector check that a calib7ation sticker has been affixed. Calib-ration stickers have been affixed to the equipment in question.
2.
Corrective Action to be Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance:
The inclusion of the calibration sticker requirement in the Load Cell Calibration Checklist will require a technician to affix the sticker and the Static Cone Penetrometer PQCI will require a OC Inspectors check of this quality attribute in the future.
3.
Future Compliance will be Achieved as Follows:
Closure of QAR RS-00024 on November 19, 1983, indicated that the subject nonconforming condition had been brought into compliance with Project r
requirements and satisfactory measures had been taken to prevent reoccur-rence.
