FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant License No. DPR-59 As a result of the inspection conducted on March 30 - April 3,1987, and in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforce ment Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy) (1986), the following violations were identified:

A. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, states in part,

" Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as... defective material and equipment...are promptly identified and corrected.

The licensee's Quality Assurance Procedure 16-1, Corrective Action Control-Plant, Revision 2, requires the nonconformances which are identified by inspection be documented on a Nonconformance and Corrective Action (NCA) form or a Deficiency and Corrective Action Report (DCAR) form.

Contrary to the above, as of April 3,1987, neither an NCA nor DCAR form had been initiated to document the cause and corrective action associated with defective material and equipment caused by significant pitting of the internal surfaces of the three inch carbon steel piping connected to the inlet and outlet sides of Core Spray System Valves 14-M0V-5A and SB and which exceeded the ANSI B31.1 allowable tolerance of 12.5% for surface imperfections.

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

B. Technical Specification 6.8(A), states in part, " Written procedures...

shall be established and implemented...that meet or exceed the require-ments and recommendations of... Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November 1972." Appendix A, paragraphs I.5 and H, (of RG 1.33) require procedures for modification work and for measuring and test equipment control.
