SUBJECT:

Waterford SES Unit No. 3 Docket No. 50-382 Potentially Reportable Deficiency No. 169

" Potential Deficiencies in the Procurement Program" Final Report On May 8, 1984, a potential problem in the procurement system was reported as PRD-169. Further evaluation of the previously described condition indicates this condition is not considered reportable pursuant to 10CFR50.55(e).

EVALUATION On May 8, 1984, LF&L notified NRC that a Nuclear Operations QA Audit Report had identified a potentially significant QA program breakdown within certain areas of the established procurement program. Subsequently work was stopped in two areas by the applicable managers and an investigation was initiated to determine the extent and significance of the findings. Although the audit report contained numerous findings and the findings varied considerably in significance, the investigation revealed, overall, that a significant QA breakdown had not occurred. The bases for this conclusion was that no equipment performing a safety-related function had been installed which had failed to meet approved specifications. Additionally no equipment had failed to meet design bases acceptance criteria during preoperational test because of procurement program deficiencies.
