APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Boston Edison Company M/C Nuclear Docket No. 50-293 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Permit No. DPR-35 i
As a result of the inspection conducted on March 2-13, 1987, and in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR 2, Appendix C, (Enforcement Policy 1987) the following violations were identified:
A.
10.CFR 50.55a (g) requires that ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components meet the inservice inspection requirements set forth in the applicable edition of Section XI of the ASME Code. The Pilgrim Magnetic Particle Examination Procedure 50.20, Revision 2, implements the ASME Code Section XI inservice inspection requirements including the requirement that surface indications not exceed the allowable size limit as specified in Table IW8 3514-2 of Section XI.
Contrary to the above, on March 10, 1987 weld DB23-2-1C was found to have a surface linear indication (3/4" in length) that exceeded the limits specified within the site magnetic particle procedure and ASME Code Section XI, Table IWB 3514.2. This indication had not been identified or dispositioned during a previcus magnetic particle examination performed by the licensee.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement II).
B.
10 CFR 50.55a(g) requires that ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components meet the inservice inspection requirements set forth in the applicable edition of Section XI of the ASME Code and 10 CFR Appendix B, Criterion IX requires that: personnel qualifications be in compliance with requirements of applicable i-codes and standards. ASME Code Section XI, IWA 2300, 1980 Edition and Pilgrim implementing procedure QC 10.06, Revision 4, invoke ANSI 45.2.6 requirements that a Level II visual examiner have four years of experience in testing or_ inspection or both of power plant, heavy industry or other similar facility equipment.
Contrary to the above, on March I, 1987, NRC review of the ISI contractor procedure no. QC-7, Rev. 3 in use at the site, disclosed that the procedure required only four months of totcl experience rather than the ANSI 45.2.6 required four years.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement II).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Boston Edison is hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the letter which trans-l mitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including:
)
(1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; j
(2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
