SUBJECT:
I&E Inspection Report 85-03
REFERENCE:
NRC Letter Johnson to Lee dated 04/01/85 (G-85115)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation received as a result of inspections conducted at Fort St. Vrain during the period February 1-28, 1985.
The following response to the items contained in the Notice of Violation is hereby submitted:
Failure to Follow Procedure 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V,
- states, in part, that
" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings." This requirement is implemented by the licensee's Final Safety Analysis Report, Section B.S.2, " Quality Assurance Programs."
Administrative Procedure Q-4,
" Procurement Document Control,"
Issue 6, dated May 7, 1984, requires that prior to confirming quality-related purchase orders to the vendor, the purchase requisition is to be routed to nuclear engineering division and then quality assurance for their review. All quality-related purchase requisitions shall be reviewed utilizing the purchase requisition review records form guidelines and documented on the purchase requisition review records form.
8506240395 850612 PDR ADOCK 05000267 G
- 1. (-O Q
, Contrary to the above, quality-related confirming orders for control rod drive and orificing assembly parts were processed without nuclear engineering division and quality assurance reviews of purchase requisitions.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation.
(Supplement I.D.)
(50-267/8503-01)
(1) The corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved:
The root cause of the events leading to this Notice of Violation has been identified as a general misunderstanding of the applicability of the Administrative Procedure Q-4 requirements.
As an immediate corrective measure, all personnel directly involved in the procurement of quality-related materials and services were re-instructed as to the applicability of Administrative Procedure Q-4.
A memo was subsequently issued to all Nuclear Production, Nuclear Engineering, and Quality Assurance personnel providing additional clarification.
All quality-related confirming purchase orders associated with the current Control Rod Drive and Orifice Assembly (CRDOA)
Refurbishment Program were reviewed by Nuclear Engineering and Quality Assurance to ensure that proper technical and quality requirements were specified on the final purchase orders to allow for material receipt in accordance with Administrative Procedure Q-7.
Previous procurements from GA Technologies are also being reviewed by the Nuclear Engineering Division for similiar anomalies. This effort is being initiated and tracked via the Public Service Company internal corrective action system.
(2) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations:
Further violations of Administrative Procedure Q-4 will be avoided by providing supplemental training to all Nuclear Production, Nuclear Engineering, and Quality Assurance personnel directly involved in the procurement of quality related items and services for the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station. This training will be conducted by the Quality Assurance Division.
(3) The date when full compliance will be achieved:
Full compliance has been achieved with respect to quality-related CRDOA materials. The supplemental training to be provided by the Quality Assurance Division is scheduled for completion by May 31, 1985.
The review of previous procurements from GA Technologies will be completed by July 31, 1985.
