-VIOLATION-
-Technical Specification 6.4.1 states that'the station shall be operated and-maintained in accordance with approved procedures. QA Procedure QCK-1 requires that any personnel discovering a nonconforming item shall promptly initiate a nonconforming item report _(NCIR) and that production personnel shall initiate.NCIR's :Ln accordance with Station Directives.
- Contrary to the above. requirements, although licensee personnel determined Lon or about September 5, 1984,:that a Cuno filter in the low pressure service water supply line to.high. pressure injection pump coolers had been
. installed backwards, an NCIR was not written until September 24, 1984.
Also, neither Station Directives nor the general employee training program address NCIR's.
'This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
RESPONSE
- 1) Admission or denial of the' alleged violation:
This violation is correct as stated.
2)~ Reasons for.the violation:
This violation resulted from an administrative deficiency.; The Station Directive describing the processing of NCIR's-did not include.the prevision that any person could initiate a NCIR. The directive referred-to NCIR's being issued by the QA Group, thereby inferring that only the QA Group was responsible for the initiation of a NCIR. This ambiguity led to the delay in the initiation of:the NCIR.'
- 3) Corrective actions taken and results:
The Station Directive-describing the processing of NCIR's has been deleted and replaced by. a section in the Compliance Manual.- This section includes the requirement that NCIR's may be. initiated by any station personnel discovering items which do not conform with specifi-cations, codes, design drawings, or other QA requirements.
In addition the Station' Directive concerning Reporting has been revised.
to include the requirements that any personnel' discovering-a' non- -
conforming item, shall promptly initiate a'NCIR.
