Licensee Action on Previous Enforcement Matters
a.
(Closed) Severity Level IV Violation (424, 425/84-14-01): Three Audits
Not Documented, Issued, or Followed-Up in Accordance With ANSI N45.2.12
The licensee responses dated August 24, 1984, and December 3,1984,
were considered acceptable by Region II.
The licensee's December 3,
1984 response identified one additional audit (MD05/M006-82/11,
Richmond Engineering Company) that was conducted on January 2,1982,
but was not issued.
GPC's QA Engineering / Support Manager and the
original QA auditors conducted a detailed review of these four audit
reports to assure that each question that was originally raised was
properly addressed and resolved. The inspector examined the resolution
effort which consisted of four volumes (one per audit) and supporting
documentation. Each concern appears to have been adequately addressed.
Although a few corrective actions (File No. X7BG01, Correspondence No:
QA-3778) have not been fully completed, agreement on these items had
been concurred on and a monthly report on the status of each is
prepared for the Vice President and General Manager QA.
The inspector concluded that the licensee had determined the full
extent of the violation, taken action to correct current conditions,
and developed corrective actions needed to preclude recurrence of
similar problems.
Corrective actions stated in the licensee response
have been implemented.
b.
(Closed) Severity Level IV Violation (424, 425/84-14-02):
Incomplete
Corrective Action for Closure of Audit Findings
The licensee responses dated August 24, 1984, and December 3, 1984,
were considered acceptable by Region II. The inspector examined the
volume prepared to resolve the outstanding concerns identified in the
unpublished audit CD06-81/80, Coatings, and related audit finding
report (AFR) numbers 235 and 236.
Each concern appears to have been
addressed and resolved. In a few cases, action items were assigned to
'
fully resolve the concerns, such as specification changes and FSAR
updates.
These action items are being closely followed by GPC
management.
The inspector concluded that the licensee had determined the full
extent of the violation, taken action to correct current conditions,
and developed corrective actions needed to preclude recurrence of
similar problems.
Corrective actions stated in the licensee response
have been implemented.

Program Review
The inspector reviewed the licensee QA program for procurement,
receiving, and storage of material and equipment as described in
references (2) through (14) to verify that they met requirements of
reference (1), the accepted QA program, NRC Regulatory Guides, and ANSI
standards endorsed by the program.
The safety-related materials and equipment received at the site are
either NSSS supplied or GPC procured from specifications prepared by
Bechtel Power Corporation, the Architect Engineer (A-E) for Vogtle
Nuclear Plant.
Site generated
requisitions are primarily for
consumables, standard stock items, and replacement items.
These items
are purchased from specifications which have been previously approved
and issued by the A-E.
Within this area, no violations or deviations were identified.
d.
Site Procurement Activities and Records
GPC has assumed the procurement responsibility for all materials needed
by on-site contractors.
The inspector selected procurement item
contracts to determine that the following elements have been included:
Applicable regulatory, technical, and quality assurance require-
-
ments
-
Procurement documentation adequately reviewed
Purchaser notification points, hold points, and access rights
-
incorporated in or provided for in the documentation where
necessary
-
10 CFR 21 reporting requirements appropriately addressed
-
Documentation to confirm acceptability of the item required to be
furnished
-
QA requirements applicable to subcontractors
Within this area, no violations or deviations were identified.

Within this area, one violation was found. During the review of the
above listed procurement documents, and records related to those
procurements, the Certified Material Test Report (CMTR) for the 1 -inch
by 3/4-inch ASME SA479, Flow Restrictor, procured from Consolidated
Pipe and Supply Company and manufactured by Stainless Products did not
contain evidence of ultrasonic inspection.
Bechtel specification
X4AQ34 specifies examination of Nuclear Class 1 piping material in
accordance with ASME Code, Article NB-2000.
Purchase order PAV-5721,
change notice 90, requires the material to be SA479 which is a speci-
fication for stainless and heat-resisting steel bars and shapes for use
in boilers and other pressure vessels.
Therefore, ASME Code, Article
NB 2540, requires examination of bars by ultrasonic methods prescribed
in NB-2542. ASME Code, Article NA-3767.4, requires the CMTR to include
the results of all required chemical analyses, tests, examinations,
repairs, and heat treatments performed on the material. The CMTR from
the material manufacturer does not contain evidence of ultrasonic
inspection of the bar. This is violation 50-424, 425/85-17-01.
f.

inspection to verify the following:
-
Facilities are adequate.
CMTRs were reviewed and approved by trained personnel.
-

The inspector toured warehouses, laydown areas, Unit 1 containment,
reactor building, and auxiliary building to determine the following:
-
Storage facilities for Class A equipment had an environmentally
control
atmosphere and provisions to prevent animals from
entering.
Facilities for Class B, C, and D equipment storage were satisfie'd.
-
Protection from damage during storage was adequate.
-
Periodic inspection of storage facilities was made.
-
Stored items were identified.

In-Depth QA Inspection of Performance - Tendon Greasing (35061)
This inspection was conducted to determine whether site work is being
performed in accordance with NRC requirements and SAR commitments, the QA/QC
program is functioning in a manner to assure requirements and commitments
are met and that prompt and effective action is taken to achieve permanent
corrective action on significant discrepa cies.
The inspector observed the Unit I work activities concerning the greasing
activities for VSL tendon identification number 26-86 (Bechtel No. 63) and
16-96 (Bechtel No. 53).
These greasing activities were conducted in
accordance with VSL's Field Instruction Manual For Installation of VSL
E5-55, Post Tensioning System Within Nuclear Containment Structures, R8 and
Bechtel Construction Specification No. X2AF04, R2.
The tendon greasing
activities were inspected and documented to the requirements specified in
Chapter VII (VSL Construction QC Records) of the subject manual.
GPC has hired a knowledgeable consultant to oversee the VSL tendon opera-
tions. In addition to the VSL QC inspection effort, GPC QC is performing
100 percent verification of the receipt, installation, stressing, and
greasing of each of the first 20 horizontal and the first 20 U-shaped
tendons. Verification activities thereafter will be performed as needed and
as directed by GPC QC supervision. The inspector interviewed VSL craftsmen,
foremen, QC inspectors, and GPC QC inspectors to determine if their
knowledge of tendon installation activities and their training in this area
were adequate to perform their respective duties. The inspector reviewed
the following QC documentation for Unit I tendon Nos. 18-94 and 10-102:
Material receipt reports
Mill certifications
Installation checklists and reports
GPC tendon activity audits CD08-84/23, CD08-85/25, and the most recently
conducted QA assessment of VSL, audit CP01-85/33 were examined by the
inspector. These audits were reviewed to determine if they were meaningful,
effective, reflect quality performance and whether corrective actions taken
as a result of audit findings were proper, timely and complete. The latest
e

audit (CP01-85-33) identified a few VSL program weaknesses or omissions in
the area of receipt inspection, QC procedures, and document control which
are in the process of being corrected. The inspector notified the licensee
that the region would follow up on the effectiveness of the corrective action
taken to resolve the subject audit findings.
This item was identified as
Inspector Followup Item 424, 425/85-17-02, Audit CP01-85/33 Followup.
Since the tendon program is essentially just beginning, licensee representa-
tives, GPC's tendon consultant, Bechtel engineers and VSL QA personnel meet
frequently to resolve contract problems and establish mare definitive
engineering, QA/QC requirements when and if such need arises. The inspector
attended one such meeting concerning wedge material acceptability and the
need for further clarification on acceptability for shim spacing and overlap
criteria. The licensee is very much aware of prior tendon problems of other
nuclear plants and appears to be making a concerted effort to assure
Vogtle's program is adequate and conforms to. specification requirements.
Within this area, no violations or deviations were identified.

Inspector Followup Item (IFI) (927018)
(Closed) IFI 50-424/83-13-06 and 50-425/83-13-04 Control of Shelf-Life Items
The inspector reviewed GPC procedure GD-T-30, R1, and confirmed that
requirements have been established and a shelf-life program is being
implemented.
