Chapter 17.2.7.1-of-the Updated Pinal Safety Analyses Report states that vendors will be evaluated and approved by the Nuclear i

PEco di 3. not - realize t hat 10CFR50 Appendix B, Criterion VII, appl a to a vendor used to-prepare test samples for weld certification testing.'
l Corrective Action and Results Achieved
j
, l'.
l Attachment Page 2 of 2 Docket No. 50-353 Ur,e of the non-evaluated vendor to prepare test samples wan eliminated on !)ovember 14, 1991, after ensuring that no test samples were at the vendor.
A review wan performed to ensure i
that all vendor services-used in the welding qualification program are on the Evaluated Vendor List (UVL).
All test cample preparation formerly performed by the non-evaluated vendor was i
assumed by the Barbadoes Training Center in compliance with the NQA plan effective November 14, 1991.
r i
Corrective _ Action M a38n to Avoid Future Non-Compliance i
/
PECo will perform test sample preparation in-house in accordance with-the NOA plan and Section IX of the ASME code.
In the future, the use of a vendor for test sample-preparation in the welding qualification program will comply with_10CPH50, Appendix B, Criterion VII and Criterion 7 of the HQA plan.
Prior to use j
of a vendor on the CVL to prepare test samples, procedures would be developed for Barbadoes Training Center personnel to perform receipt inspection on the tent samples.
Date When l'ull Compliance was Achieved Pull compliance was achieved on November 14, 1991, when use of l
the non-evaluated vendor was eliminated and test sample preparation was assumed by the Barbadoes Training Center.
