NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket No. 50-456 Docket No. 50-457 As a result of the-inspection conducted on July 8.9. 11, 25, 26; August 1, 2, 5; September 17, 25, 26; November 18, 19, 21, 26; December 10, 17, 1985; and January 9, 1986, and in accordance with the " General Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the following violation was identified:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V as implemented by Commonwealth Edison Company (CECO) Quality Assurance Manual, Quality Requirement No. 5.0, requires that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures or drawings and be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.

Contrary to the above, prior to September 6, 1983, for small bore piping and prior to January 1,1983, for large bore piping, certain activities affecting quality were not accomplished in accordance with documented instructions and procedures in that the material traceability portion of the quality assurance program was not adequately implemented in that 792 (approximately 3% of a total of 25,815) installed items were identified as nonconforming when compared to the CECO's procedural requirements for material traceability.

The CECO requirements for documentation of traceability exceeded those of the ASE B&PV Code,Section III, for 562 of those items, and 85 others were determined to be acceptable based on supplemental quality records. The remaining 145 (approximately 0.5% of the installed items) were found to lack the required ASME B&PV Code,Section III evidence of traceability and were removed; however, subsequent physical and chemical. tests established that the material that was removed was in fact the correct material.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement II).

The inspection showed that action had been taken to correct the identified violation and to prevent recurrence. Consequently, no reply to this violation is required and we have no further questions regarding this matter.
