One apparent violarion was identified.
VIOIATION:
"10 CFR 50, Appendix B Criterion V, requires that activities affecting quality be prescribed by docunented instructions, procedures or drawings and be accanplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures or drawings. Georgia Power Procedure HNP-821 requires that safety-related plant modifications be inspected to verify that the work is canpleted in accordance with details on the design docunents.
Contrary to the above, during inspection of masonry wall modifications,
. quality control inspectors failed to detect that the welding used in connections of the flanges of W8 x 35 steel' member was not accomplished in accordance with the details shown on the design docunents.

- Page 'IWo RESK)NSE Admission or denial of alleged violation:
The violation occurred as stated.
Reason for the violation:
%e quality control inspector failed to follow existing plant procedures. %e inspector did not verify that the steel members were welded per the details on the design doctments.
Corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved:
%e discrepancy between the type of welding used and the type specified on design doctments was originally identified as an unresolved iten in Inspection Reports 83-24 and 83-25, dated Septenber 8,
1983.
After reviewing the finding, plant personnel determined that the groove welds used to attach the steel menbers were more appropriate for this application than the fillet welds specified on the design documents.
We Architect / Engineer (A/E) was contacted to obtain its concurrence.
The A/E responded on September 29, 1983, stating that the use of groove welds instead of fillet welds was acceptable.
i future violations:
On Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid Novenber 1,
1983, training was given to all Georgia Power Capany-quality control inspectors.
This training stressed the importance of i
reviewing the details on design doctments before performing inspections.
The training also enphasized that, when weld fabrication details are reviewed, the relationship between the weld symbols - and steel menber configuration should be considered to determine code validity.
Date when full cmpliance will be achieved:
Full cmpliance was achieved on Novenber 1,
1983 when the type of - welding used was determined to be acceptable and the quality control inspectors were trained on the importance of reviewing the details on design doctments before performing inspections.
