_ ' . .- MAY 151985 MEMORANDUM FOR: Alan Shropshire, Compliance and Investigations Coordinator FROM: James C. Linville, Chief, RPS 2C, DRP SUBJECT: CLOSE0VT OF ALLEGATION 84-A-0156, LEAD AUDITOR CLARIFICATION The Senior Resident Inspector (SRI) has documented his. re' view of alleged inadequacies in the certification of Lead QA Auditors in the attached in- spection report 50-410/84-15. Closecut of the open item 84-15-02 generated in this report is based on poor documentation of Lead Auditor certification which had previously been identified by the licensee in QA audit 4 and was documented in attached inspection report 50-410/85-04 by the SRI. Since the memos which formed the basis for this allegation were forwarded to the RI anonymously, no response to the alleger is required. - 471M a es C.

A. Perry and W. M. Bryant on October 25, 1984. Mssrs. Perry and Bryant indicated to the NRC Residents the corrective actions already planned regarding the maintenance of certification of NMPC's lead auditors. The planned corrective actions were as a result of Nonconformance Report NR-0036 from NMPC QA Audit No. 4. A copy of the corrective action plan for NR-0036 is attached. When these actions have been completed, the various concerns about individual lead auditors ; certifications discussed in the October 25th meeting will all have been i addressed. Also during the meeting a change to QAP 18.01 was also discussed. The target date for the attached corrective action of NR 0036, the issuance of any change to QAP 18.01 and thus the resolution of this item is December 1, 1984 /(' hya>&b W. M.

Bryant DATE December 21, 1984 FILE CODE 3-fl2.2.M58.48 SUoJECT Review of lead Auditor Certifications The certification files for Lead Auditors have been reviewed. This was initiated due to Nonconfromance Report NR-0036, Audit F inding Peport AFR-RG-IN-SY-N1-84003-05 and NRC Identified item, NMPC ltem 90-84 of 10/26/84 Several concerns were expressed in the above mentioned reports such as: instances of inadequate documentation of how experience and education points were awarced, certifications were not always updated annually, certification was sometimes prior to completion of five audits, surveillances instead of audits of ten used as basis for certification. These concerns were all addressed and corrected during the certification review. Before reviewing the certifications, the following facts were recognized as being pertinent to the review and did in fact influerice the determination of validity of each certification. * When many of the lead auditors were first certified, Niagara Mohawk was committed only to ANSI N45.2.12 Draf t 3 Rev. 4 2/22/74 The requirements in this standard for personnel leading an audit were only that an auditor be qualified and the the qualification requirements were to be determined by the auditing organization. There was no ANSI N45.2.23 which specifies the requirements for qualification of lead auditors until April 1978. NRC Inspection Report 50-220/78 11 dated 8 September 19/8 refers to the inspector having " verified that these Surveillance Reports and the activities they describe were consistent with AN5! N45.2.12 requi rements for audi ts. . . .". The surveillance reports referred to were listed in the Inspection Report. This was interpreted by fijagara Mohawk QA Management as approval to consider surveillances as audits as long as the content was similar to those reviewed by the NRC Inspector. * hMPC Quality Assurance Procedure QAP 18.10 Rev. 4, Qualification of Auditors and Lead Auditors was issued to include a " grandfather clause" allowing surveillances to be used as audits to qualify lead auditors prior to October 1984 as long as specific criteria were present in the surveillances. This clause was discussed with the Unit 2 Resident NRC inspector and agreed to be acceptable for past certifications on October 25, 1984 ,. - . . _ _ _ . . . _ . _ . .) , C

! NMPC Lead Auditors have been certified on several different dates i and to different revisions of the Quality Assurance Procedure 18.01. To j fairly determine if the certifications were valid or invalid one must i look at the requirements stated in the revision of the QAP that was
in force at the time of Certification.
1 I1 ' Other personnel that had been certified as lead auditors that no longer work
for Niagara Mohawk are; M. Henn, G. N. Hodge, J. S. Banges and J. S. tianion. None of these had questionable certifications. A note was placed in each of their personnel files stating their auditor certification had been reviewed
i
and were acceptable. All actions stated in attached letter QA844688 which outlined the corrective i ! actions to be taken to close Nonconfonnance Report NR-036 have been accomplished ' and verified. These actions close out NR-036 and are considered sufficient so
} that the NRC concern Item 90-84 of 10/26/84 may also be presented to the NRC l l 1s ready for their review for closure, j Audit F inding Report AFR RG-IN-SY-N1-84003-05 may also be closed by the above ! actions as soon as training of the lead auditors has been verified. This a
will be done by 12/28/84. I

. - --- - M t a w , ' 4 Allegations During the inspection period the inspector conducted inspecticns and in- terviews in response to allegations presented to tne NRC, additionally the t t inspector monitored licensee actions resulting from the presentation of selected issues to the licensee as noted below: ; a. (RI-84-A-0156) The NRC ttcuived an allegation which stated that QA lead } auditors had been improperly certified. The allegation also stated I i that improper interpretations had been made regarding the substitu- * tion of surveillance for audits during the certification process. The inspecter reviewed the following: -- ANSI N45.2.23, " Qualification of Quality Assurance Program . Audit Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants" -- ANSI N45.2.10, " Quality Assurance Terms and Definitions" ANSI N45.2.12, " Requirements for Auditing of Quality -- Assurance Programs for Nuclear Power Plants" . -- Regulatory Guides 1.144 and 1.146 . ' -- FSAR Table 1.8 i - l -- NMPC QAP 18.01 Rev 3, " Qualification of Auditors and Lead Auditors" i l The inspector was informed that two NMPC audits had previously identified ; deficiencies with the lead auditor certification process. The inspector reviewed NMPC letter QA841582. The letter stated that surveillances conducted at Units 1 and 2 fulfilled the ANSI requirement for involvement in quality assurance audits prior to certification as a ; lead auditor. The inspector discussed with the NMPC Director of QA, the dif ference between a formal audit and surveillance as performed at Unit 2. l' He then was presented with NMPC letter QA841595 which rescinded the } guidance promulgated via the earlier letter. Revision 4 of QAP-18.01 has I ' since been issued. The QAP currently states that credit can be taken for surveillance conduct only if the surveillance w15 conducted in the same fashion as a formal programmatic audit. The current QAP is consistent with the intent of ANSI N45.2.23. The inspector reviewed the qualification packages for all current NMPC QA lead auditors. Numerous concerns were identified, namely: -annual evaluations performed at greater than 12 month intervals -typographical errors points awarded not substantiated by length of service - _.

(Closed) VIOLATION (84-09-06): Nondestructive examination of elec- trical penetration assemblies. The penetration assemblies had orig- t inally been fabricated by Graver Northeast and the weld surface had been fully examined by magnetic particle method by that vendor. The penetration assemblies were turned over to Chicago Bridge and Iron Co. (C8&I) to complete. CB&I performed radiographic examinations of the weld, performed the necessary repair ef fort and magnetic particle examined only the repair area. SWEC N&D's 8428 and 9031 were gener- ated to document that Chicago Bridge and Iron Co. had not performed a magnetic particle exar.ination of the entire weld surface but only of the repair area. The NJE records f rom Graver in conjunction with CB&I NDE records were reviewed to assure that all required NDE was per- formed. This item is closed. 1. (Closed) UNRESOLVED ITEM (84-15-02): Certification of NMPC lead auditors. The licensee reviewed the certification files of all cur- rent lead auditors and all personnel that had previously acted as lead auditors. The personnel qualifications were evaluated in rela- tionship to the certification requirements that were effective at the time the individual was originally certified. That approach was necessary because a number of ce tifications took place prior to the issuance of ANSI N45 2.23 in April 1978. Four lead auditors with valid certifications were iden t i fied. One individual had not per- forned in the capacity of lead auditor. The other personnel had l ed audits at the site and Cherry Hill. The questionable audits were satisfactoriiy reviewed for compliance with ANSI N45. 2.12 require- ments. NMPC has issued a new revision to Quality Assurance Procedure (QAP) 18.10, " Qualification of Auditors and Lead Auditors" to clarify the certification process, lead auditor records have been amended to correctly state the basis upon which the individuals were certified. The licensee stated tha t the untimely resolution of the audit find- ings relative to the l' sue of auditor certi fications, was caused by the management re alignments that took place within the QA department during 1934 Several individuals had been assigned the responsibil- ity of re.olving this concern, but a lack of continuity existed when personnel transfers wore af fected. The licensee stated that current audit findings are closely monitored to assure timely resolution. On the basis of the review of lead auditor certifications, analysi . of the questionable audit reports, procedural enhancement, and justi f- Ication of the time lapso prior to corrective action implementation, this item is closed.

A.) It has become evident that FSAR comitments , to Regulatory Guides and standards for example, have not been appropriately translated into site procedures and specifications.
, B.) Mr. Gram concluded that a review of proposed corrective actions f rom RCI to
NMPC CAR's has shown that the timeliness and adequacy of their responses needs improvement. . E&DCR F01619A proposed an alternate site approach which deviated f rom commitments l v made in the FSAR. No LOCN was initiated to cover the FSAR deviation prior to the NRC inquiry. Mr. Gramm has expressed concern with lack of engineering review of E&DCR's for conformance to the applicable licensing document. (11 82-84) j . In reviewing records and hardware for the suppression pool and penetration match assemblies, Mr. Gram observed that several pieces of hardware were missing (i.e. pressure gauges, swing bolts). (11 87-84 B, Rev. 1) . The NRC inspector noted two copies of IR N2P28380005, located in SWEC's filing system (ref. Document Transmittal 04-00161). Both IR's contained the same number, signature, and date, but- included different attributes accepted. Mr. Gram questions if the IR was improperly amended. (II 87-84 C. Rev. 1) . Based upon a review and subsequent concerns with NMPC's Lead Auditor Certification,l the NRC inspector has concluded that the overall certification program for lead l / auditors is not well maintained.

Senior Vice President ' c/o Miss Catherine R. Seibert . 300 Erie Boulevard West , Syracuse, New York 13202 . Gentlemen; i ; ; Subject: Inspection No. 84-01 This refers to the routine. inspection conducted by Mr. R. A. Gramm of this office on January 23 to March 2, 1984 at Nine Mile Point, Unit 2, Scriba, New York of l
activities authorized by NRC License No. CPPR-112 and to the discussions of our findings held by Mr. R. A. Gramm with Messrs. Morrison, Ray and others of your i staff at the conclusion of the inspection. Areas examined during this- inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspection . Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector. ' The Construction Appraisal Team Inspection (50-410/83-18) has previously documented ; the inability of site audit programs to identify construction deficiencies to
- be a potential enforcement action. During the conduct of this inspection, a
further example of inadequate ITT Grinnell audit effectiveness was identified.

ITT Grinnell procedures FQC-4.1-3-9 and FQC-4.2-14-9 require pipe support installations to be inspected to verify welding and mechanical attributes. Contrary to the above, as of February 27, 1984, the following ITT Grinnell final accepted pipe supports; BZ-19EA-3,. BZ-19PN-3, BZ-19KZ-2 and BZ-11ST-1, were re-inspected by the NRC and found to have nonconformances to the design criteria. This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement II). g. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V and the Nine Mile Point, Unit-2 FSAR require that activities affecting quality are conducted in accordance with documented procedures. Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation procedura PPNM151 requires that employees report significant deficiencies to the licensing manager. Further, Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation ~ procedure QS216.2 requires a timely review of significant deficiencies. Contrary to the above, as of February 10, 1984, NMPC site employees had not notified the licensing manager of a significant deficiency involving ITT Grinnell liquid penetrant examinations and SWEC had not conducted a timely review of a significant deficiency-identified in ITT Grinnell letter ITT-LTR-4897. Further, no documentation exists to_ verify timely review- of NMPC QA nonconformance reports as evidenced by NR-349 not having received a licensing review for reportability until one year and nine months after issuance. This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Suppiement II). Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation ,uis hereby required to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken - 7a~nd the results achieved; (2) the corrective steps which will be taken to , lavoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be (achieved. Where good cause-is shown, consideration will be given to extending d ~
j cthe response time.

Two of the CAR's exercised the new'stop further processing' authority of the QA organization. The inspector notes a positive improvement in the conduct of NMPC QA activities as the licensee assumes more control of and responsibility for construction quality. 8. Construction Deficiency Evaluation The NRC requires prompt licensee reports of significant construction deficiencies as contained within 10 CFR 50.55(e). Further interpretive guidance on construction deficiency reporting is contained within the Inscacticm ad
'
, Enforcement Manual section. 9900. The inspector reviewed the licensee and contractor programs to ascertain the implementation of 50.55(e) requirements. He reviewed the following documents: NMPC QAP 16.30, " Preparation of Quality Reports on Significant Deficiencies" -- . -- NMPC QAP 16.40, " Control and Use of the Nonconfomance Report" -- Project Procedure PPNM 151, "10 CFR 50.55(e) Significant Deficiencies - NMPC Evaluation and Reporting" -- - SWEC Under 10QA 16.2, CFR " Notify)ing Clients of Potentially Reportable Deficiencies 50.55(e Within the licensee's programs the inspector observed that Nonconformance Reports (NR's) define deficiencies identified by NMPC QA. Presently, the Quality Assurance procedures require no on-site review to detemine whether an NR is reportable as a Construction Deficiency Report (CDR), NMPC licensing is respon- '~ sible for reviewing those NR's to determine reportability. To detemine effective- ness of the program, the inspector randomly selected several NR's as no ud below to identify the issuance date and when the reportability review was perfomed: hR# Issued On Licensing Review On 349 5/24/82 Not performed as of 2/9/24 377 1/7/83 Not perfcmed as of 2/9/84 402 9/22/83 10/28/83 403 9/22/83 10/28/83 - The above review of the NMPC program indicates a substantial lag i "f ncon- P rC- ments for timely review of NR's for reportability consideration . - , sistent with the intent of 10 CFR 50.55(e) requirements. As an example of the contractors program, the inspector obtained r/ '" . 1984 letter (ITT-LTR-4897) from ITT Grinnell QA Director to SWEC. hra rfg .l a problem with liquid penetrant testing be revie..ed for reportability. , - , . e

This is contrary to QA-16.2 which requires ~ : the review to be conducted in less than 7 days time. The non-timely review and action to evaluate the item for reportability is indicative of a deficiency ' within the contractor's reportability system. Additionally, a.lthough NMPC site employees had knowledge of the liquid penetrant deficiencies discussed above, a call was not made to the NMPC licensing manacer 1c r qfired by PPNM151 to provide for prcmpt identifcation and evaluatica 0/ the deficiency. The above examples of failures of NMPC and SWEC to follow procedures to ensure prompt evaluation and reporting of significant construction deficiencies is
i a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V. (24-01-05) ; The inspector acknowledges that in response to the above concerns NMPC issued a February 15, 1984 letter to employees which emphasizes the responsibility of making prompt construction deficiency reports. It is further planned to establish a site safety review committee to review deficiencies for prompt reportt.bility. 9. Diesel Generator Cranes
The inspector reviewed the following information which pertains to the non- safety cranes located over the emergency diesel generators:
!
! -- Regulatory Guide 1.29, " Seismic Desiga Classificatica" ' -- Specification P251H, " Single Girder Cranes" , -- SWEC drawing EM-13, " Diesel Generator Building Machine Locations" The inspector toured the diesel generator building and noted that numerous
4
safety related items are located in close proximity beneath the cranes, namely, the emergency diesel generators, class IE raceway, ASME piping and safety related HVAC items. The licensee's engineering department stated . that it was planned to park the non-seismic cranes at the north end of their runways. Upon review of the location of the cranes relative to the safaty related items. the inspector is still concerned that seismic failure of the cran.e or crane rails could have detrimental results on the operability of othar safety relat .* equipment. Further, the ~ inspector has previously identified ~tuo non-safety - instal'ations (control room partitions and reactor buildia: cc;?) which when analyzed were found to have failure modes which could degrade future safe operation of the plant. , This concern is unresolved pending receipt of analysis to demonstrate that * safe parking location exists for th'e crane,and analysis to shcw that on a plant wide basis that non-safety related items have been designed in a irc that their potential seismic failure will not impair the opercbility of safety related systems.

Gramm Contact: J. L. Dillon/T. R. Loomis . Item Description: A) failure of Niagara Mohawk to timely identify and report a condition found during construction to the NRC as a significant deficiency in accordance with 10 CfR i0.55(c). The NRC Inspector noted that NM failed to report - a potential deficiency involving welds accepted by ITT Grinnell QC (on the SVV System) and that subsequently were determined to have inadequate surf ace preparations for liquid penetrant examination. In some cases the welds also had rejectable indications. B) failure of Niagara Mohawk to assure that deficiencies found in design and construction are handled properly and reviewed for reportability under 10CFR 50.55(e) in a timely fashion. The NRC inspector noted that NM licensing has failed to review a backlog of NMQA Nonconformance Reports for reportability under 10CFR 50.55(e). The inspector questioned whether in fact, it is a report * able deficiency in itself that NM has a backlog of Nonconformance Reports to review for reportability under 10CfR 50.55(e).

QAP 16;30 Rev. 4' , . .s ; . - June 1980 5.2 Distribution O The Manager of Quality Assurance shall receive the original report plus one copy of all background material. Other copies may be distributed at his discretion. With regard to nuclear safety related functions, if he concurs with the significance of the SDF,, he shall transmit a copy to the Manager * Generation Engineering for evaluation with regard to the requirements of 10CFR50.55e or 10CFR21. Upon completion of the disposition, the appropriate Quality Assurance Supervisor shall be notified, either by a copy of the completed report or by written memo. 5.3 Stop Work Initiation { ' For quality related problems involving nuclear station design, construction or operation, there may be a need for the Quality Assurance Department to initiate a stop work action. In addition to its other functions, the.Significant , < Deficiency Report form is to be utilized to document the request by a member of the Quality Assurance Department, to the Manager of Quality Assurance, to initiate the stop work action. For an operating nuclear station, the Manager of Quality Assurance has the authority to initiate a stop work order through the General Superintendent of Nuclear Generation for any portion of the nuclear station operations which appears to be seriously jeopardizing quality. During the design and construction of a new nuclear station or for a modification / addition to an existing n'iclear station, the Manager of Quality Assurance has the authority to initiate a stop work crder through the appropriate project management office for any portion of the project which appears to be seriously jeopardizing quality. Stop work orders will usually be orally initiated. After any oral initiation, as quickly as possible, confirmation by written memorandum shall be supplied to that person authorized to issue the stop work order. Full documentation l of all circumstances surrounding any decision to initiate stop work action shall be retained in the Quality Assurance Department files. Upon satisfactory resolution of the problem which resulted in the stop work , action, work may be restarted. Once again, this start work order may be orally initiated and must be confirmed by written memorandum. In addition, there must be adequate information in the Quality Assurance files to fully explain the final disposition of the problem which led to the stop work action. 6.0 REFERENCES a) Federal Regulations 10CFRSO.55e , b) Federal Regulation 10CFR21 7.0 ATTACHMENTS , a) Quality Assurance Significant Deficiency Report form Page 3

, FROM A. F. Zallnick, Jr. ossintCT Syracuse To All Project Personnel DATE, February 15, 1984 ~ FILE COoE _ SUBJECT Nine Mile Point Unit 2 , , Reporting of Significant Deficiencies I , , . The NRC has recently called to our attention the responsibility of the utility to report to the NRC significant design, construction or quality assurance deficiencies that would eventually affect the safe operation of the Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Nuclear Station. The reporting of significant deficiencies to the NRC is a requirement of the utility as stated in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.55(e) and is controlled by Niagara Mohawk via PPNM 151. NMPC considers this to be an extremely important responsibility. Failure to report significant deficiencies may result in enforcement action by the NRC. This memo is to remind you (no matter what your responsibilities may be) that if you are aware of a possible significant deficiency in the design, construction, or quality assurar.ce of the Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Nuclear , Station it is your responsibility to alert your supervisor or directly contact the Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Eclear Licensing Manager (A. F. Zallnick, Jr., Ext. 6457). If you are unsure or unaware of the procedure for evaluation and reporting of significant deficiencies, please review PPNM 151 in Volume 5 of the Project Manual. If you have any questions concerning the NRC regulation, the NMPC procedure, or any situation of which you are aware, you should contact the Unit 2 Licensing Department. i ' l A.
