QUALITY [o TECHNOLOGY gg COMPANY P.O. BOX 600 Sweetwater, TN 37874 (615)365-4414 ERT INVESTIGATION REPORT PAGE 1 OF 2 CONCERN NO. XX-85-088-OO3 CONCERN: " Knoxville: Sequoyah welding certifications were altered by the use of correction fluid before they were photographed in Knoxville. Process markings such as file indexes and page counts, as well as any marks, notations, or any data that did not look like engineering data on the back of the document, were deleted with correction fluid."

INVESTIGATION PERFORMED BY: Wm. R. Pickering DETAILS PERSONNEL CONTACTED: CCNFIDENTIAL

SUMMARY

This concern is not substantiated. This investigation encompassed a review of activities applicable to microfilming of quality documentation in Knoxville and at the Secuoyah Nuclear Power Station.

FINDINGS Documents are microfilmed in many lccations within TVA. The microfilm has no special identifier to flag where a document may have been photographed, therefore, it ic impossible to identify microfilm of welder performance qualification records prepared and microfilmed specifically in Knoxville. The Code of Federal Regulation 41CFRIOl-11.506 allows for the destruction of original documents once the document has been placed on microfilm. Therefore, it is impossible to obtain original welder certification documentation previously 8605060252 860502 PDR ADOCK 05000327 P PDR

ERT INVESTIGATION REPORT PAGE 2 OF 2 CONCERN NO. XX-85-088-OO3 DETAILS:

FINDINGS: (Continued) microfilmed to deterraine if correction fluid was used on the welder certifications.

been used It has been on welder perforraance substantiated that correction fluid has cualification records (refer to XX-85-088-XO4) for welders employed at the Sequoyah NpS, however those found in that condition were prepared at the site.

Within the last six raonth s the rernainder of welder performance qualification records, welder certification records and other documentation associated with the construction phase at the SON were boxed and sent to Knoxville for microfilming, and were located in the vault of the MED's Service Center. A review of these documents disclosed they had not been prepared for microfilraing indicating that the SGN raicrofilraing department had not prepared the documents prior to transmitting them to Knoxville. There was no correction fluid found on the subject doc urcent s.

OBSERVATION:

None.

j CCNCLUSIGN:

This concern can not be substantiated as of this writing. The SON welding certifications located in Knoxville have not been prepared for l

microfilming thus far.
