BACKGROUND

1.

CAT inspection March 29-31 April 1-2, 5-9, 12-14, and May 11, 1982.

Apparent noncompliance with the requirements for the qualification of

inspection personnel.

2.

Noncompliance transmitted by letter dated June 24, 1982 (Norelius to Reed)

and identified as noncompliance 82-05-19.

June 24, 1982 letter contained e stipulated requirement to undertake

action to assure that inspections performed by quality control inspectors

,

that were demed to be improperly trained and qualified were valid.

.

3.

Proposed corrective action to noncompliance 82-05-19,

and proposed

corrective action to the stipulated requirement were transmitted by letter

dated July 30, 1982.' (Stiede to Keppler).

4.

Proposed

corrective

action

to

stipulated

requirement

was

found

!

"

unacceptable by letter dated September 22, 1982 (Norelius to Reed) and

required further action be accomplished.

5.

Subsequent meetings with NRC St3ff yielded direction that further action

'

required to address stipulated requirement must contain a program of

reinspection.

.

.

!

6.

Revised proposed corrective action was transmitted by letter dated

{

February 23,1983 (Stiede to Keppler) and contained commitment to execute

a reinspection program.

A brief of the reinspection program is as follows:

A.

(1) For 6 contractors, every 5th inspector selected (NRC SRI added

from 2 to 4 inspectors).

A.

(2) For 2 contractors, every inspector selected.

B.

For each selected inspector, each individual inspection performed

during

the

inspectors

first

three

months

reinspected,

where

accessible.

C.

Reinspection conducted utilizing inspection criteria applicable to

initial inspect.on period.

D.

(1) Inspections classified as objective require 95% agreement rate

in repeat inspection.

D.

(2) Inspections classified as subjective require 90% agreement rate

-

in repeat inspection.

D.

(3) Subjective inspections would be rtubject to independent third

party review to establish true rejectability.

E.

When selected inspector failed to achieve 95% agreement rate on

..

objective

inspections,

or

90%

agreement

rate

on

subjective

$nspections;

then

additional

three months

of

inspection work

reinspected for the type of inspection which failed to achieve

required agreement rate.

F.

If selected inspector failed to achieve 95% agreement rate or 90%

agreement rate, as appropriate, in second three renth period. than

all inspectior}s performed by the inspector of the type which failed

would be reinspected: and the original sample size of inspectors

would be increased by 50%.

7.

NRC Region III Staff have conducted numerous reviews of the reinspection

activities and have maintained a estatively high level of involvement in

the proceedings.

The following presents the status and results of the program to date.

COMMENTS CN CECO PRESENTATION OF REINSPECTION PROGRAM RESULTS

I.

OC Inspector Performance Evaluation and Conclusions

a.

Need to address whether or not selected inspectors had ever

identified nonconforming conditions and, if so, how frequently

how obvious were the nonconformance(s) ands were approvals of

\\% corrective action taken by selected inspectors for DR, NCR

.

closeout appropriate. This type of information will allow a'

subjective characterization of the selected inspector's

ability to discern between acceptable and rejectable items

and his/her tenacity in performing inspections. Contractor

and Ceco corrective action system documentation files may

contain evidence to allow such charac.erizations,

b.

Sample sizes for certain areas of certification may be too

I

small to provide conclusive evidence (Comment a above not-

withstanding) see "Comments on Byron Reinspection Program

Final Report" by J. M. Hinds, Jr. (SRI-Byron), dated

January 25, 1984, Itees 3, 4, and 5.

c.

What additional assurances (inferences) of OC inspector

effectiveness in areas cf QC inspector certification for

which items inspected are inherently nonrecreatable or

inaccessible can be provided based upon conclusions reached in

areas of QC inspector GeI1fication for which items are reinspectable.

II.

Classification of Attributes as objective

and Inspector

Perfornance Acceptance Criteria

a.

Otilizing a 95% acceptability for objective attributes as a minimum

acceptable performance level may seem, on the surface, as being too

leanient.

While certain attributes, e.g. simple dimensional checks, are

considered objective and r.s such, highly repeatable, many actions,

of

(sub-tasks) are associated with, and can affect the validity 4these

types of OC inspection results.

nese types of inspections, including sub-tanks, should be more

closely examined to determine wether or not the 95% criteria and,

more importantly, the actual reinspection results which generally

exceed the 954 criteria are, in fact, resasonable. Include a disenssien

,

of the variables which affect the difficulty attached to each typw of

,

inspection. i.e. reference location, gage accuracy, etc.

b.

Objective attributes have been defined as those attributes other than

visual weld examination attributes. What are they? These should be

specified in the report in as much detail as in the applicable

inspection check lists. Attributes such as "masonry", "concrete

expansion anchors", are too vagely stated.

III.

Evaluations of the Sidnificance of Identified Hardware Discrepancies

d

a.

All discrepancies should be evaluuated with sufficient rigor and in

(iss)

sufficient detail to determine which diserapancytof each identifiabKly

unique type represen(s) the greatest deVishtien, in absolute terms,

frca design specifications, e.g. percent reduction in weld load

carrying capability, cable seperation distarce (feet and inches) etc.

existing circumstances, represent a failure to meet design bases.

With what frequency have these types of identified deficiencies
