10 CFR 50.55a, Codes and Standards, Paragraph (g), Inservice Inspection Requirements, requires that inspection and testing be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda.
ASME Section XI IWA-4600(A) requires a re-examination following a repair by machining.
Unit 1 Technical Surveillance Requirement 3.4.2.1 of the Technical Requirements Manual states, in part, to perform required inspection and testing in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a (g), as modified by approved relief.
i Contrary to the above:
Between April 14, 1996, and May 1, 1996, while implementing Design Change Request 94-033 on valve 1E41-F006, High Pressure Coolant Injection Valve, gouges in the bonnet at the gasket seating area were removed by machining and a VT-3 re-inspection was not completed.
As a result, an inspection required by section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code was not performed.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
