1. A11ecation Category: QA/QC 3, Records
2. Allegation Number: AQ-75 arid AQ-76
3. Characterization: It is alleged that changes made on or about March 7, 1984, in the N-5 program procedures for processing documents into and out of the vault have made it impossible for document reviewers to do their job.
4. Assessment of Safety Significance: Brown & Root (B&R) procedure CP-QAP-18.3, Rev. I states that N-5 program documents shall be complete and certified before being placed in the permanent plant records vault (PPRV). The procedure states that documents can be removed from the vault for specific reasons, such as audit <,, but require authorized approval under those cir-cumstances. TUGC0 procedure CP-QP-18.4, Rev. 2, states that file copies of verification documents shall not leave the records vault for any purpose without the written consent of the site quality assurance manager.

The NRC Technical Review Team (TRT) reviewed B&R procedures CP-QAP-18.2, Rev. 4, CP-QAP-18.3, and instruction transmittals 57 and 58. Although

-the allegation states that the procedure change occurred in early March, transmittal 57 was issued on April 18, 1984. It deleted procedures CP-QAP-18.2 and CP-QAP-18.3 with the anticipation that they would be incorporated into CP-QAP-12.1. B&R determined that CP-QAP-12.1 was not ready for issuance and, therefore, transmittal 58, dated April 23, 1984, was issued reinstating CP-QAP-18.2 and CP-QAP-18.3. The TRT reviewed these N-5 program procedures and found that they adequately met the requirements of the ASME Code,Section III.

The TRT review recognized that the N-5 packages may have been placed in the PPRV when procedures CP-QAP-18.2 and CP-QAP-18.3 were deleted and prior to the time they were reinstated. Accordingly, these packages may not have received adequate review, and therefore may not reflect the as-built

. condition.

The TRT reviewed the PPRV logbook and found no N-5 activity between April 19, 1984 and April 23, 1984. The TRT also reviewed the PPRV log-book for a period of several months and determined that long periods of N-5 inactivity were not uncommon. In addition, the TRT reviewed component cooling water package CC-1-SB-037A which was placed in the vault on April 18, 1984. The package was complete.

5. Conclusion and Staff Positions: The TRT found no evidence to support these allegations. Accordingly, they have no generic implications.

In a meeting with the alleger on December 10, 1984, the TRT presented the results of the assessment of these ' allegations and the TRT's conclusion.

A brief discussion ensued. There were no major items of disagreement, and no new concerns or allegations were identified.
