RESPONSE TO ITEM OF HO!TCOMPLIANCE INFRACTION 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, criterion V requires in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Commonwealth Edison Company Quality Assurance Program Manual, Section 5.1 states in part that, " activities affecting quality are required to be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings."
Contrary to the above, on November 29, 1970, grouting (5500 grout and non-shrink grout) of numerous equipment foundations in Category I areas was performed without documented instructions, procedures, or drawings.
These instructions, procedures, or drawings are necessary in order to provide requirements for such activities as pre-placement inspection, in-process testing or pre-qualification for non-shrink grout placement inspection, and post placement inspection.
This condition has existed since grouting operations were begun.
CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN AMD RESULTS ACIIIEVED:
Equipment grouting operations which followed the grout manufacturer's instructions for preparation, placement and curing were just recently begun at the station.
On the date of the subject NRC impection, the contractor stopped grouting work until procedur. approval could be obtained. In addition, the contractor initiated an effort to develop a grouting procedure.
This procedure was imunediately prepared, subsequently approved, and the grouting, activities resumed.
CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN TO AVOID FURTIER NONCOMPLIANCE Appropriate procedures for grouting operations have been prepared and approved.
DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED Full compliance has been achieved at this time.
