.6 Attachment-Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during the period of June 23-27, 1984, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10
-CFR Part 2, Appendix C), 49 FR 8583 (dated March 8, 1984), the following violation was identified:
Failure to Inspect Criticai Quality Equipment 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, states, in part, " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions... and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures..."
Fort Calhoun Quality Assurance Department Procedure 12, Revision 1, dated March 1984, states in Section 3.2.2, " Receiving inspection shall consist of verification of an item's compliance with procurement c'ocuments after receipt at Fort Calhoun... storer inspection (3.2.3) conducted by a non-certified inspector (stores personnel) shall not replace receiving inspection of generic characteristics affecting quality, which shall be inspected by a certified Level II/III inspector (e.g., cleanliness, packaging,etc.)."
Fort Calhoun Standing Order G-24, " Receiving and Shipping Control of CQE, Limited CQE, Fire Protection Material, and Radioactive ~ Materials Packaging Materials (Quality Material)", Revision 13, dated March 7, 1984, states in Section 3.2.1, " Quality material shipments delivered to the station shall be checked for shipping damage, agreement of actual count with the purchase order and packing slip, and agreement of the individual item identification with the purchase order and packing slip." In addition, Standing Order G-24 states in Section 3.4.1, " Material that has passed receiving (see 3.2.2) shall be inspected and/or tested in accordance with instructions in the Material Acceptance Plan (and any special report forms, when provided)."
Contrary to the above, items ordered under Purchase Orders 52302 and 61106 were received and installed onsite without a receiving or material inspec-tion.
This is a Severity Level V Violation.
(Supplement I)
(285/8415-01)
District's Response (1) The corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved.
Two separate instances were cited in the inspection report.
The first:
"P0 52302 was completed on September 24, 1982, without benefit of a receiving or materials inspection checklist.
P0 52302, dated September 22, 1982, required machine work to be performed on the auxiliary building crane eye hook per SRDC0-FC-82-40. The P0 stated final dimensions were to be verified by plant quality control (QC) personnel. The crane eye was reinstalled without benefit of the material inspection which would have caused the final dimensions to be verified by plant QC personnel."
p.
] 1.-
- f ',
-The District's investigation has revealed that-a documented material inspection was conducted prior to reinstallation of the hook. Although the receiving inspection was pcrformed in.accordance with the standing orders, an evaluation has.been performed which has enabled the District-
- to take.the necessary actions to complete the shipping and ' receiving packages.
The second instance cited was:
"P0 61106, dated October 11, 1983, was a critical quality equipment order for. repair _of two electronic cards that are required for the QSPDS system.
Both cards were delivered at some unspecified date in November,- 1983 to the. nuclear site.and reinstalled -
without the benefit of a-receiving inspection or a materials inspection."
In this instance,Lthe QSPD5.is not part of an operational system. How-ever, the District has completed a proper receipt inspection of the two circuit cards.
A review of the Fort Calhoun Station procedures shows~that'they.are adequate.
It appears that both of the above instances were due-to
. lack of knowledge of plant procedures on the part of the individuals involved.
The non-compliance with plant procedures has been discussed with the individuals involved.
(2) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid future violations.
In addition to the investigations conducted, the District will-issue a letter by August 31, 1984, to appropriate District personnel involved-in the receipt of CQE material to remind them of the' necessity of conforming to the standing orders.
(3) The date when full compliance will be achieved.
The District is currently in full compliance.
