3 Notice of Violation 3. Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVil, " Quality Assurance Records,"

requires, in part, that sufficient records shall be maintained to furnish evidence of activitios affecting quality. Records shall be identifiable and retrievable. Consistent with applicable regulatory requirements, the licensee shall establish requirements concerning record retention, such as duration, location, and assigned responsibility.

Commonwealth Edison Company Quality Assurance Program Topical Report CE-1-A, Revision 65b, Section 17, " Quality Assurance Records," states, in part, that the quality records program includes those record types, controls, and provisions for storage and preservation contained in Nuclear Quality Assurance (NOA) -1, Supplement 17S-1. Records are administered through a system which includes an index of record type, retention period, and storage location. Record retention periods are established to meet regulatory requirements.

American National Standards Institute /American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ANSI /ASME) NOA-1, " Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Nuclear Facilities," Supplement 17S-1 states, in part, that a records receipt control system shall include a method for identifying recorda receivad.

Quad Cities Administrative Procedure 1200-01, Revision 1, " Station Records,"

Step D.2, states that the res,3onsible department records custodian shall update the master retention schedule wMn e new record is created. Step D.2.a stated that the records custodian determined if toe new record was a quality or non-quality record.

Contrary to the above, on March 31,1997, the inspectors identified that the master retention schedule had not been updated to include new quality records.

The licensee failed to identify required quality assurance records and failed to establish requirements for record retention, including duration and assigned responsibility for quality records. The following procedures contain required quality records (operability determinations and surveillance results) not listed on the retention schedule:

  • Quad Cities Chemistry Procedure (OCCP) 1200-2, " Post LOCA (loss of coolant accident] Hydrogen and Oxygen Monitoring System" e Quad Cities Instrument Surveillance Procedure (OCIS) 2400-1, "Drywell Radiation Monitor Calibration and Functional Test"

( This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I). (50-254;265/97006-03) l

e Notice of Violation 3- I

4. Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, " Corrective Action," required, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to 4

quality, such as malfunctions, are promptly identified and corrected.

Contrary to the above, from June 1996 until March 1997, the licensee failed to take prompt corrective action to address periodic high differential pressure readings I that clearly indicated that the 28 core spray room cooler was significantly clogged.

During this time, Quad Cities continued to operate with one train of core spray l significantly degraded and its effect on safe operation went unevaluated. '

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1). (50-254;265/97006-07)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Commonwealth Edison is hereby required to submit a written statement of explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 1 ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region Ill, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspector at the facility that is I the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice).

Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.

However, if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicato the specific information that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the information from the public.
