Att :hment t3 WM 87-0131 P:ga 1 cf 2 May 5,1987 Violation (482/8708-01):
Failure to Properly Control, Store, and Protect Quality Assurance Records Finding:
Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1 requires that, " Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities referenced below:
a.
The applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978."
The licensee's Nuclear Department Directive III.10
" Identification and Correction of Quality Assurance Records," Revision 15, dated April 4,
- 1986, states in paragraph 10.6.2, "QA records shall be transmitted.
protected and retrieved under the rules and procedures of the Records Management System which is intended to implement our commitment to ANSI N45.2.9 and Regulatory Guide 1.88."
Nuclear Department Directive III.19,
" Records Management Program" Revision 4, dated November 3, 1986, states in paragraph 19.6.1.1, "A records capture statement shall be incorporated in each Nuclear Department procedure that describes an activity resulting in the generation of a record.
As a minimum, these statements shall identify which records are to be transmitted to Records Management and whether they are QA or non-QA records.
These statements should also identify when the records should be transmitted, who shall transmit them and how they will be packaged or grouped." The licensee's station procedures HPH 09-514, HPH 09-520, and HPH 09-530 generate lifetime QA records associated with shipments of radioactive waste materials which are to be transmitted to Records Management.
i l
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector determined on March 3, 1987, that the lifetime QA records generated while performing radioactive waste shipments during 1986 were stored in the Health Physics Supervisor Radwaste's office in the control building and had not been transmitted to the QA records vault as required.
It was also determined that the above listed HPH 09 series procedures records capture statements did not identify the person responsible for transmitting the records or describe how the records will be packaged for transmittal to the QA records vault.
Reason For Violation:
The reason for the failure to transmit the lifetime QA records generated while performing radioactive waste shipments during 1986 to the Quality Assurance Records Room (QARR), vault, was due to failure to follow procedure by the Radwaste Health Physics Supervisor.
Administrative procedure, ADM 07-406,
' Records Administration and Storage" provides the requirements for transmittal of records to the QARR and storage.
This administrative procedure, ADM 07-406, meets the requirements of Nuclear Department Directive III.10,
" Identification and correction of Quality Assurance Records" and III.19, " Records Management Program".
Attachment'to WH 87-0131 P go 2 of 2 May 5, 1987 Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken and Results Achieved:
The lifetime QA records generated while performing radioactive waste shipments have been reviewed for technical accuracy and to the requirements of ADM 07-406 and have been transmitted to the QARR.
Additionally, the Radwaste Health Physics Supervisor has been reprimanded.
Corrective Steps Which Will Be Taken To Avoid Further Violations:
The Radwaste Health Physics Supervisor has received formal review of the requirements of the records program from the Document Control Supervisor.
The Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved:
Full compliance has been achieved.
