10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion X, requires that a program for inspection of activities affecting quality shall be established and executed by or for the organization performing the activity to verify conformance with the documented instructions, procedures and drawing for accomplishing the activity.

It also requires that examinatfor,s, measurements or tests of material or products processed be performed for each work operation where necessary to assure quality.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Quality Assurance Manual, Chapter 10, states that inspections shall be performed for each operation (in process, end point, etc.) where necessary to assure quality.

It further specifies that a sampling plan is used for verification, the plan shall be based on a recognized industry standard, and records i

shall identify and include justification for the particular sampling plan and sample size used for the inspection.

Contrary to the above, on August 19, 1988 the inspector identified the following:

1.

During an independent safety related block wall verification by the NRC, out of a sample of 47 concrete expansion anchors, 22 failed to indicate the specified minimum torque value for the size of anchor bolts tested.

The sampling inspection as implemented to verify l

conformance of concrete expansior anchors with the specified torque t

requirements was inadequate in identifying the above nonconformance.

[

2.

No inspection or verification was performed to establish the acceptability of bolt holes in structural steel members for size of hole, shape of hole, method by which holes were made (punching.

drilling, burning), and the location of the holes to match the installed anchors, i

3.

There was no objective evidence to substantiate any examinations, I

measurements or tests were performed to verify the acceptability i

of grout or the grouting operation used in block wall modifications.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I)-
