  • Attended exit interview 2.

Exit Interview The inspection scope and findings were summarized on September 13, 1985, with those persons indicated in paragraph 1 above. The inspector described the areas inspected.

The licensee acknowledged the inspection findings.

The licensee did not identify as proprietary any of the materials provided to or reviewed by the inspectors during this inspection.

Licensee Action on Previous Enforcement Matters a.

(Closed) Severity Level IV Violation (269, 270, 287/85-04-01): Failure to Verify Environmental Conditions for Calibration of Digital Multimeters The licensee response dated June 12, 1985, was considered acceptable by Region II. The inspector verified that signs have been posted noting limiting environmental conditions for calibration of Fluke digital

-

i

-

.

.

multimeters.

The appropriate calibration procedures have been revised to permit calibration only within the recommended environmental limits and to require documentation of temperature and humidity at the time of the calibration. A controlled, calibrated device is used to measure these parameters.

The inspector concluded that the licensee had determined the full extent of the violation, taken action to correct 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 (269, 270, 287/85-11-01): Failure to Submit 10 CFR 50.59 Annual Report The licensee response dated June 19, 1985, was considered acceptable by Region II.

The inspector interviewed personnel responsible for the annual submittal of a description of facility changes required by 10 CFR 50.59(b).

A tickler system has been developed to insure issuance of this report in July or August for the previous year's changes.

The licensee submitted the summary of 1984 changes on August 15, 1985.

The inspector concluded that the licensee had determined the full extent of the violation, taken action to correct conditions, and developed corrective actions needed to preclude recurrence of similar problems.

Corrective ac,tions stated in the licensee response have been implemented.

The following criteria were used during this review to determine the overall acceptability of the established program:

The QA program documents clearly identified _those structures, systems,

-

components, documents, and activities to which the QA program applies.

Procedures and responsibilities were established for making changes to

-

-QA program documents.

Administrative controls for QA/QC procedures required review and

-

approval prior to implementation, control of revisions, and control of distribution and recall.

Responsibilities were established to assure overall evaluation of the

-

effectiveness of the QA program.

Methods existed to modify the QA program to provide increased emphasis

-

on identified problem areas.

The documents listed below were reviewed to determine if the previously listed criteria were incorporated into the licensee's QA/QC administration program, t

A walk-through inspection of the following storage areas was performed to determine if equipment was being adequately stored:

Storage Area Protection Level Yard #1 D

Warehouse #2 B

Warehouse #3 B

Warehouse #6 B

Warehouse #7 C

Yard #9'

D Storage of parts in the above warehouses appeared adequate. QA items were clearly marked with green tags stating control and purchase order numbers.

Equipment was stored either above floor level on racks or temporarily stored in aisles on crates.

In general, all storage areas were neat, clean, and provided with appropriate environmental conditions relative to assigned protection levels.

QA carbon steel pipe stored outside (protection level D) in Yards 1 and 9 was generally rusted. Approximately 10 percent of the pipe end plugs were missing but the licensee stated that the plugs are replaced during periodic storage inspections.

When questioned on the method of insuring that corrosion was removed and piping integrity verified prior to releasing QA condition 1 piping for installation in the plant, the licensee furnished the inspector with proof that this was accomplished.

During the walk-though inspection, the inspector randomly selected eight items to verify that the attached identification provided traceability back to the original procurement documents. Documents for all items were readily available and retrievable from the QA records vault.

One item selected to be traced was 3" Schedule 80 carbon steel piping found in Yard #9.

The inspector used QA tag number 38970, which was marked on the piping, to retriese purchase order H51323-75.

This purchase order procured QA condition 1 stainless steel and carbon steel piping and specified a level C storage area. When presented with this, a licensee representative informed the inspector that this was a mistake on the purchase order and that all QA condition 1 stainless steel and carbon steel piping was being stored in D level storage.

To verify this, the inspector examined the following

-

documents used for the procurement of QA condition 1 stainless steel and carbon steel piping:

Purchase Order Date Protection Level i

K51867-75 11/14/84 D

K37797-75 8/20/84 D

Purchase Requisition Date Protection Level 7310 850291 1/24/85 D

7310 853626 9/22/85 D

7310 852840 7/15/85 D

The inspector concluded that the specification of protection level C on this purchase order was an isolated example, consequently, a violation is not warranted.

Within this area,' no violations or deviations were identified.

Licensee Action on Previously Identified Inspection Findings (92701)

a.

(Closed) Inspector Followup Item 269, 270, 287/85-04-02: Preventive Maintenance Report (PMRPT) Master Surveillance Test Schedule The. inspector reviewed the Technical Specification Surveillance Test Overdue List and the Chemistry portion of the PMRPT. Although a few minor problems still exist with the schedule, the systematic errors noted in the previous inspection have been corrected.

b.

(Closed) Inspector Followup Item 269, 270, 287/85-04-03:

Technical Basis for Out-of-Tolerance Evaluation Criteria of Measuring and Test Equipment The inspector reviewed the site response dated February 18, 1985, to Corporate QA Audit NP-84-19(ON) concerning the technical justification for the out-of-tolerance evaluation criteria used with I&E test equipment. Th*s response, which was accepted by Corporate QA, stated that the calibration tolerance is based on test equipment accuracy whereas the evaluation tolerance is based on the most stringent requirement that the installed instrument is required to meet. The evaluation tolerances appeared within what may be construed a significant calibration error.

c.

(Closed) Inspector Followup Item 269, 270, 289/.85-11-02: Working Level Procedures for Project Services Group The working level procedures for the Project Services Group as delineated in Sections 4 and 5 of the Project Services Manual have been completed and implemented.
