n DUKE POWER COMPANY CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION Violation (413/85-43-01):
Failure to follow QA Procedure for Control of Nonconforming items.
~
10 CFR 50, appendix B, Criterion V as implemented by Duke Power Company (DPC) Topical Report DUKE-1-A, Section 17.2.5 requires activities affecting quality to be accomplished in accordance with established procedures.
DPC QA Procedure No. QCK-1, Rev. 19 requires that Nonconforming Item (NCI) Reports be forwarded to the appropriate departments for resolution and corrective action, that1NCI resolutions be sufficiently detailed to clearly identify the action necessary to correct the deficiency, that QA review NCI resolutions for clarity and completeness, and that Operations QA evaluation construction NCI;s sent to Operations for applicability to Unit 1.
Contrary to the above, the requirements of QA Procedure QCK-1 were not followed in that:
(a)
NCI No. CN-304 involving installation of unqualified covers on environmentally qualified Component Cooling System flow transmitters was not forwarded to the appropriate department for evaluation.
(b)
The resolution of NCI No. CN-304 did not clearly identify actions necessary to correct the deficiency in that the cause of the problem was not recognized and evaluated and additional existing unqualified covers were not found in the warehouse and removed.
-(c)
Inadequate resolution of NCI No. CN-304 was not recognized during a required QA review.
(d)
Construction NCI No. 19,773 was not properly evaluated by Operations QA personnel for applicability to Unit 1 in that a discrepancy involving safety-related instrumentation cable separation which existed in Unit 1 was not identified.
Response
-(l)
Admission or denial of.the alleged _ violation:
Duke Power admits the violation concerning QCK-1 identified during the September 26 -' October 25, 1985 inspection period.
i I
. (2)
Reason for this violation if admitted:
The reason for.the violation was misinterpretation of statements made on the NCI's.
J (3)
Corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved:
~
The specific corrective action steps and results for each item are documented on the NCI's.
For NCI-304 the proper covers are now on the transmitters and the improper type covers have been removed from the warehouse.
For NCI-340, proper separation has been achieved.
(4). Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violation:
1.
Personnel involved have an increased awareness of the need to be more thorough in evaluation.of problems.
2.
An additional person has been assigned to review and approve Nonconforming Item Reports, which allows a more i
thorough review of NCI's.
In addition, the Operations QA Surveillance Group will review selected number of NCI's for adequate completion.
l (5)
Date when' full compliance will be achieved:
-Duke Power will be in full compliance by January 1, 1986.
