Ingersoll-Rand Company Cameron Pump Division Docket No.
99900064/78-01 0
NOTICE OF DEVIATION Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on September 12-15, 1978, it appeared that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indicated below:
A.
Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part, " Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality,
... are promptly identified and corrected... the measures shall j
assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.
The identification of the significant condition... the cause of the condition, and the corrective action taken shall be documented...."
QA Manual Section N-19, paragraph 1.0 states in part, "... Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and reported... (and) shall also assure that the cause of the condition be determined and corrected to preclude
{
repe tition. "
Quality Control Produre-256, paragraph 3.3 states in part, "The recipient of the corrective action completes the following portions of QCM 462 (Internal Request For Corrective Action):
Complete description of the corrective action taken to remedy the discrepancy and to preclude recurrence of the problem."
Contrary to the above, a review of approximately forty (40) completed, requests for corrective action (RCA) revealed that the condition adverse to quality is identified and the action to preclude recurrence is documented, but in 75 percent of the RCA's, the cause of the condition adverse to quality and the correction of the specific condition are not addressed.
B.
Criterion IX of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part, " Measures shall be established to assure that special processes, including welding, heat treating,... are controlled and accomplished by qualified personnel using qualified procedures...."
QA Manual Section N-14, paragraph 7.3.5 states, " Post weld heat treatment done locally shall be performed using electric resistance heaters with calibrated temperature recording equipment in accordance with the applicable heat treating procedure."
Heat treating procedure CHTG-1000, Revision 0, paragraph 5.0 states,
" Calibrated thermocouples shall be used. A minimum of two thermo-78127300 T g
f d
i couples shall be used.
One thermocouple on the weld repair and one 4
thermocouple placed two inches outside the controlled band to monitor the thermal gradient are required."
Contrary to the above, localized post weld heat treating (PWHT) was not being performed in accordance with the applicable heat treating procedure in that just one thermocouple was being used and it was a
attached to the weld repair.
This was observed during in-process i
PWHT being performed on a lower casing, Job No. 20-4264-7968, N.Y.0.
P-034-36322, in which the route card required the use of PWHT procedure CHTG-1000, Revision 0.
C.
Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part
" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings,... and shall be accomplished in accord-ance with these... procedures...."
QA Manual Section N-14, paragraph 3.0 states, " Welder-Performs fab-rication or repair welding in accordance with weld procedures."
Shielded Metal Arc Welding procedure 0WP-9-CE-8.0-278D and Gas Tungs-ten Arc Welding procedure 0WP 3-TH8.8-25, Revision 3, were prescribed as being required on Job No. 4281-7729 and 204264-0883, respectively.
Both procedures state in part, "Interpass temperature shall not exceed 200 degrees F.
Interpass temperature shall be controlled by quenching each pass'with air blast and not proceeding with subsequent pass until bare hand can be held on previously deposited pass."
Contrary to the above, regarding the above weld procedures and jobs, the inspector observed :the following:
1.
No determination was being made to assure the interpass temperature did not exceed 200 degrees F.,
2.
Interpass temperature was not controlled by quenching each pass with an air blast, 3.
The welder's bare hand was not held on the previously deposited nass prior to proceeding with subsequent passes.
D.
Criterion VI of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part, " Measures shall be established to control the issuance of documents... which prescribe activities affecting quality.
These measures shall assure that documents, including changes, are reviewed for adequacy and approved for release by authorized personnel...."
QA Manual Section N-16, paragraph 3.0 states in part, " Responsibilities
... Chief Inspector... Approves hydrostatic test procedures...
l
- Nuclear Pump Product Manager... Approves hydrostatic test pro-cedures."
Contrary to the above, while observing hydrostatic testing being performed on Seal Piping, drawirig No. C-8X20WDF321X3B, a review of hydrostatic test procedure CQCP-1075, Revision 0 and addendum 4, Revision 1, which was required by the Route Card, revealed that it was not approved by the Chief Inspector and the Nuclear Pump Product Manager.
E.
Criterion IX of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part, " Measures shall be established to assure that :pecial processes, including weiding, heat treating, and nondestructive testing, are controlled and accomplished by qualified personnel using qualified procedures in accordance with applicable codes...."
QA Manual Section N-14, paragraph 8.2 states in part, "The level III (Examiner) shall prepare a written practice in accordance with SNT-TC-1A,1975 and the Code (ASME) covering training, qualification, certification...."
ASME Code,Section III, paragraphs NB, NC, ND-5521, state in part,
" Personnel performing nondestructive examination shall be qualified in accordance with SNT-TC-1A,1975, except... for visual examination, the Jaeger No. 1 letters shall be used in lieu of the Jaeger No.2 letters specified in... SNT-TC-1A, 1975.
Contrary to the above, Ingersoll-Rand Company, Cameron Pump Division (IR), has not used Jaeger No.1 letters for the visual examination of personnel performing nondestructive examination.
The chart being used by IR is not a standard Jaeger chart and the size of the smallest letters being used as a Jaeger No. 1, is actually equivalent to a Jaeger No. 2.
