' Notice of Violation 86-46-01 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI and -the Seabrook Station FSAR, Section 17.1.1.16 require that measures be established to assure conditions adverse to quality and nonconformance be promptly identified and corrected. Regulatory Guide 1.29 and Seabrook Station FSAR Section 1.8 specify requirements for non-safety items, the failure of which could affect safety-related equipment.
Specifically, seismic design and construction is required of non-saf tey items whose failure could reduce the functioning of safety-related plant. features.

Contrary to the above, as of August 18, 1986, non-safety-related components were located'within the service water cooling tower in such a configuration that failure of such equipment could damage safety-related piping and valves of the service water system. These items were temporary construction items, not seismically designed or constructed, and yet were not identified on any incomplete items list or work control of the station staff, that licensee programmatic measures (e.g., NHY procedure ASP-5 controls) had failed to provide for' prompt identification and correction of such conditions adverse to q uality.
