-Quality Assurance Records 1.0 CHARACTERIZATION OF ISSUES 1.1 Introduction The issues described below were taken from employee concerns generated as a result of the Watts Bar Employee Concern Special Program. The issues were investigated and evaluated at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) since they were deemed to be. site specific or to have generic applicability to SQN.

1.2 Description of Issues The conditions reported (Attachment A) by concerned employees are:

a. Controlled documents contain conflicting or obsolete data or both. (SQM-86-002-005, SQM-86-002-006, SQM-86-003-002)
b. Work which had been performed .had not been appropriately documented. (SQM-86-011-002)
c. Poor material control. Traceability of requirements and materials is inadequate and paperwork for quality records is poor. (XX-85-122-042)
d. The retrieval of Quality Assurance (QA) records is inadequate and records t.. act identifiable. (IN-85-357-001, SQM-86-002-001, SQP-8f.-002-001, anc WBP-86-009-001)
e. Welde.r Certification records were altered. - (IN-85-612-X07, XX-85-088-IO4)

NOTE: Falsification of Welders' Qualification Records will be addressed seperately - by the TVA Office of the ' Inspector General,

f. Maintenance Requests (MRs) which specified the addition of grease for Limitorque. valve actuators were signed off 'as being i

~"

-= unnecessary _or as ~being~ complete' even' though no -work ~ was I -performed. Non-QA materia'l was - installed in QA applications and :

traceability was f alsified on the MR. (JLH-86-001)

g. Quality. Assurance (QA) documents were, lost by the' vault personnel and regenerated by the responsible unit. (IN-85-091-001).

i h. Inspection records may reflect improper' data. ( SQM-86-009-X04)

{

out the first release of Revision 8 also created the potential l for two mylars to contain obsolete or conflicting data when )

one drawing is updated and not the other. This appeared to be l an isolated case and was due to the relocation of the SQN  !

Engineering Project to the site with new clerical personnel in the Drawing Control Center. Procedures are adequate and additional training has been provided in the area of drawing control and issue.

f 2.3.2 Issue - Work which had been performed had not been appropriately documented. (Environmental Qualification of Equipment) I investigation of the issue dealt with the actual employee l The concern which said that Sequoyah was shutdown in August 1985 due to a failure of a group to appropriately document work which had been performed. This investigation determined ' the concern was valid as Sequoyah was shutdown in August 1985 due l questions about the environmental qualification of to electrical equipment. The SQN Nuclear Performance Plan specifies the corrective actions to be taken by SQN for Environmental Qualifications.

2.3.3 Issue - Poor material control. Traceability of requirements and materials is inadequate, and paperwork for quality records is poor.

The investigation of the issue of poor material traceability /

control, inadequacy of requirements, and inadequate quality records provided evidence that the major problem in material control was inadequate instructions or failure toimproper follow and instructions. Examples of procedures traceability of quality requirements for materials received were also found along with examples where traceability of paperwork to actual hardware could not be established. ,

Control has performed extensive The Material CEG investigations in the hardware areas of material control and has reported their findings separately, 2.3.4 Issue - The retrieval of QA records is inadequate and records j

are not identifiable.

The investigation of an inadequate QA records retrievable i

l system at SQN was reviewed for Construction and Operation QA Record retrievability was found to be inadequate for l records.

2.3.5 Issue - Welder certification records were altered.

The investigation of the issue of welder certifications being altered provided evidence of various -types of documentation errors. There was evidence of Corrective Action Requests (CARS), Deficiency Reports (DRs), and Survey Checklists also having been written which deal with altering welder records.

2.3.6 Issue - Maintenance Requests (MRs) which specified the addition.of grease for Limitorque valve actuators were signed off as unnecessary or complete even though no work was performed. Non-QA material was installed in QA applications and traceability was falsified on MR.

The investigation of the issue produced evidence that all SQN i Unit 2 Limitorque valve actuators have been inspected and that the actuators have been properly greased in accordance with the maintenance procedure.

2.3.7 Issue - Quality Assurance (QA) documents were lost by the vault personnel and regenerated by-the responsible unit.

Item 5 of the Drawing Issue Checklist instructs the j DCU personnel to verify that the drawing and appropriate revision are clear for issue by using the Drawing Management System computer program. The data l on the screen will alert the operator of any inconsistencies.

Correc tive actions have been initiated by TVA by way of additional training from Drawing Management System personnel in Knoxville and the addition of a Drawing Issue Checklist. Additional supervision has also been assigned to the DCC to control the issuance of drawing.

TITLE: PAGE 16 0F 28 t Quality Assurance Records November 30, 1985. On that basis, it was concluded that the j concerned employee was referring to the Environmental i Qualification (EQ) documentation. A review was made of the revised Sequoyah Nuclear Performance Plan- dated July 1986 to

  • determine the background associated with the plant shut-down.

A review was also performed of the regulatory requirements in 10CFR50.49 to establish those requirements .which TVA has committed to comply with. The Nuclear Performance Plan,Section III, Paragraph 1.0 stated the following:

"The environmental qualification of electric equipment ]

required to ensure reactor coolant pressure boundary integrity, shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe .

shut-down condition, and prevent or mitigate the 1 consequences of accidents that could result in off-site l' exposures comparable to the 10CFR100 guidelines is required by 10CFR50.49. It is further required that the evaluation of environmental qualification be documented )

and maintained in auditable files. The date required by {

NRC for full compliance with 10CFR50.49 was November 30,- ]

1985. l TVA conducted a management review of the environmental qualification programs of SQN, BFN, and WBN in July and  ;

August 1985. This review indicated that much of the 1 qualification documentation was not fully auditable and, ,

in some cases, the documentation available did not j demonstrate full qualification.

]

The cause for the failure to comply in a timely fashion with 10CFR50.49 requirements . was a lack of management attention to the environmental qualfication program.

SQN was shutdown voluntarily at the direction of the Manager of Nuclear Power with the concurrence of the TVA Board of Directors in August 1985.

b Subsequent to the voluntary shutdown of Sequoyah, the Equipment Qualification Project (EQP) was formed with the responsibility for development' and implementation of an EQ l program. Responsibility for engineering activities.

associated with environmental qualification - is presently assigned to Division of Nuclear Engineering (DNE) and detailed responsibilities, . scope, organization,. specific project procedures, and project' training program are defined in 'the project manuals for the EQP. and the Sequoyah Engineering Projeet (SQEP)."

5.2.2 Conclusion The issue is substantiated. However, adequate attention is being paid by TVA to identify and correct the deficiencies.

TVA has tentatively scheduled completion of the necessary tasks to demonstrate equipment qualification by the 'end of April, 1987.

5.3 Issue - Material control is poor. Traceability of requirements and materials is inadequate; paperwork for quality records is poor.

5.3.1- Discussion The Employee Concerns files contained a comprehensive NSRS report on the material control activities at SQN. The . NSRS report addressed the points raised in the subje::t issue. This investigation dealt with verifying the validity of the findings noted in NSRS Report I-85-987-SQN dated February 1986.

The QACEG considered the material control issue from a programmatic point. Material Control CEG is addressing the hardware issues in SQN report MC-40703-SQN, Revision 1.

All the documents reviewed by both NSRS and QACEG were generated during the operational phase as construction was 4 essentially complete at the time the concern was generated.

4 The requirements for material control,- traceability and quality records at SQN are based upon Appendix B to 10CFR50,  ;

Regulatory Guides 1.33, 1.38, 1.123,.and 1.88, the TVA Topical j Report and NQAM, Parts .II and' III, .together with the Administrative Instructions AI-7, AI-ll, AI-12 and AI-36 and l

Standard Practice . (SQA45). The NSRS findings were reviewed against the above requirement documents.

A selection was taken of all the documents used in . the NSRS investigation and a l review was performed by . QACEG of their

~

content to' independently verify the NSRS results. The Quality.

As suranc e Category Group (QACEG) . reviewed seven Surveillance Reports, seven audit reports, two Corrective Action ' Reports (CARS), and - nine Deficiency Raports (DRs). These documents dealt exclusively 'with material. control activities. The reviews produced evidence of a significant- number of deficiencies (conditions adverse to quality) dealing with inadequate instructions being available and failure- of 1

personnel to follow those instructions which were in place.

During the period 1981 through 1985 (when the above noted Conditions Adverse to Quality were reported), .NSRS compiled data on 15 instances of inadequate instructions to maintain adequate material control. Likewise NSRS data revealed 134 l instances attributable to failure to follow the instructions which were in place.

The NSRS data dealing with traceability of requirements indicated 49 conditions where there was inadequate l traceability of requirements (those noted on procurement documents) to the material received. It was also found that there were 97 conditions noted in the reports relating to improper traceability of paperwork and materials. That is, maintaining traceability of documentation and material through the entire cycle of receipt, installation and operations.

In researching the allegation of poor quality records the NSRS data indicated 99 conditions being reported relating to inadequate documentary evidence of the quality of the material.

In addition to verifying the validity of the NSRS findings, the QACEG investigation. performed an evaluation of the areas covered by the Quality Assurance Audit Branch audits and site -

surveys (surveillances) and found that the depth and coverage was adequate to form an objective evaluation of the-conditions.

5.3.2 Conclusion By researching and reviewing the sample ' numbers of reports noted above and our independent verification the QACEG has determined, in agreement with the NSRS reports, that the issue raised by the concerned individual is valid. However, there appears to be a decline in incidents of poor material control and related quality records. This ~ was concluded because of ,

the reduced number of findings ~ repo';ted in recent audits and  !

surviellances even though the QACEG investigation found that the SQN QA Surveillance Staff has increased their effort of surveillance over the material control activities.

TVA has directed considerable attention in the years 1985 and 1986 to the improvement in the control of materials at SQN.

This has been verified by reviewing audits and surveillanc e '

reports of the Quality Assurance Surveillance Section.- There appears to be ~ a downward trend in the number of conditions adverse to quality which' are being found. Audits, increased.

Corrective actions as a result of Element Report 40703 will also reduce the incidences of improper I

material control.

5.4 Issue - SQN records retrievability is inadequate.

The concerned employee alleged that the retrievabilty of SQN QA l records generated during both the construction and the operational  ;

phases is inadequate. The findings and conclusions' contained herein j are discussed separately for the retrievability of quality related  ;

construction and operation records.

5.4.1 Retrievability of Quality Related Contruction Records.

I 5.4.1.1 Background The Records Retrievability ' Indexing -(RRI) system for QA construction records was addressed in NSRS Investigation Report I-86-129-SQN and the issue was reported to be substantiated. The NSRS Report identified that SQN QA construction records including vendor drawings and manuals have not been completely entered into the records retrieval system. Since the current RRI for QA construction records and the vendor drawings and manuals are less than 50 percent implemented, the records retrievability system was considered to be unreliable and incomplete.

5.4.1.2 Discussion The overall results- of the QACEG investigation i indicated that QA construction records were-retrievable; however, ' the method was considered slow and unpredicable. TVA management recognized this condition in early 1983 and since has been working to ,

provide a complete index and document location on j microfilm for each QA construction record for SQN {

Units 1 and 2. j i

During the same period, the Vendor Drawing and Manual d Control Program was considered by TVA to be a potential problem. . TVA surveillance groups had j 8

identified the following conditions relating to vendor i drawings and manuals:

a. Vendor - drawings and manuals were unorganized and difficult to retrieve.  ;

1

I . TVA EMPLOYEE CONCERNS REPORT NUMBER:

SPECIAL PROGRAM 80504-SQN REPORT TYPE REVISION NUMBER:

Element Report 6 TITLE: PAGE 20 0F 28 Quality Assurance Records

b. Vendor drawings and manuals were not controlled relative to the "as designed" specifications.

On February . 22, 1984, the Quality Engineering Branch (QEB) initiated a Nonconformance Report (NCR) No'.

GENQEB8401 describing a ' deficient condition involving inadequate indexing and ineffective retrievalibity of-vendor QA records. The corrective action measures for the ' CAR included the revising of Interdivisional Procedures ID-QAP 17.1, " Transfer of Quality Assurance Records", ID-QAP 17.2. " Quality Assurance Records for Design and Construction", and QEB-EP 24.37, " Product Compliance Data and Quality Engineering Records Indexing and Preparation". Verifying and final completion of this CAR was performed on August 28, 1984.

In early 1985, the Office of Nuclear Power (ONP)'

conducted a review of the RRI for QA construction l records and determined several areas to be deficient.  !

A task force was established to develop I recommendations, including' the revising of instructions and procedures for each quality related construction QA record. . This revised retrieval system for QA construction records under new and revised guidelines has not been - fully implemented by. SQN at this time. TVA Record Management personnel are presently in the process of identifying, indexing, and providing film locators on' each- construction QA record.

The purpose of the investigation ~ by QACEG of the RRI system for QA construction records was first to evaluate the present retrievability systeu and second, to determine . the present status and the scheduled completion dates for the implementation of SQN construction QA records.

The QACEG investigation of the . present 'RRI for QA construction records' involved the selection of 15 Cable Tray Inspection Reports for. SQN Unit I and four -

Hanger / Support inspection Reports .for SQN Unit- 2.

These completed ' construction records ' were . transmit ted by Quality Control . to the Master Files for entry into the RRI. The. present retrieval method for' construction-' records .is controlled by the system number located on the microfilm reel. The specific record must be located - by scanning' each frame until the desired document is located.- This method. involves

TVA EMPLOYEE CONCERNS REPORT NUMBER: i SPECIAL PROGRAM E0504-SQN REPORT TYPE REVISION NUMBER: i Element Report 6 TITLE: PAGE 21 OF 28 s Quality Assurance Records the possible scanning of approximately 4,000 frames per reel to locate the desired document. The results of the investigation revealed that 18 of the 19 inspection reports were retrievable. One Cable Tray Inspection Report could not be located. The retrieval process for these records was accomplished by one individual in approximately six hours.

TVA's highest tier QA Program Manual, the Topical Report TVA-TR75-1A, Revision 8, Section 17 requires that a records index and retrieval system be established to assure that Quality Assurance Records are identifiable and retrievable. Although the Construction QA Records, including Vendor QA Records, were available, the documents were not indexed to a ,

degree of reliable retrievability. j The current RRI for QA Construction Records. when ,

completed will be capable of retrieving documents more  !

efficiently by means of identifying documents by reel  ;

and frame number. This method will provide direct access to a specific document' on each reel. During l the discussion with the Supervisor of the .SQN 7 Construction Records Project, it was determined that the Construction QA Records portion of the RRI was .

approximately 25-30 percent complete and final l

completion scheduled for December of 1988. )

i The SQN QA Staff initiated a Corrective Action Report l (CAR) SQ CAR-86-01-004 dated- January 30, 1986 1 addressing a ' condition contrary to the requirements of - )

Administrative Instruction, AI-23 -and the Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual (NQAM) Part. V. This CAR noted numerous vendor drawings and manuals contained in the SQN Environmental Qualification (EQ) Binders that were inconsistent with the information identified

_ in the plant controlled Drawing Management System

~ ~ 4 (DMS). The' disposition for the CAR has not been resolved to date.

The vendor drawings and manuals are being verified for -

technical. adequacy- by- the Division of Nuclear Engineering (DNE) prior to forwarding to the Document .

Control Center for entry.in_the DMS.

SQN is upgrading the Vendor Drawing and Manual Control Program by developing new and revised procedural requirments in the . Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual (NQAM)' and lower-tier documents i.e., Administrative.

In a discussion with cognizant DNE personnel, - it was l indicated that the Vendor Drawing and Manual Control l Program is approximately 40 percent complete. The target date for completion is January of 1988.

5.4.1.3 Conclusion The issue of the document retrieval of QA records being inadequate and not identifiable in relation to vendor and construction QA records . is a valid issue.  !

Although our investigation indicated a high percentage-of retrieveable construction QA records, one must consider the delay and effort involved to retrieve these documents. However, this . condition is not considered a violation of present requirements.

The overall records . retrieval system for. QA Contruction Records ' including vendor drawings and manuals is less than 40 percent complete; therefore, prompt, reliable, and adequate retrievability ~ is not feasible at this time. Difficulty in, retrieving QA j records could potentially . hinder the required '

evaluation of a safety-related part or component. . In addition, the numerous vendor drawings and manuals addressed in- CAR No. S'Q-CAR-86-01-004 need to be corrected and up-dated to reflect the revision level l of the "as designed" equipment and information j included in the DMS.

The nine types of QA records consisted of a total of 221 documents to be retrieved. Of the 221 documents only three were not retrievable either on microfilm from the Document Control Center (DCC) or hard copy from the Permanent Storage Vault. The three documents were further researched and it was found that one was cancelled and the other two need to be reviewed by QA prior to forwarding to the Permanent Record Storage Vault. The selected Operating QA records were j satisfactorily retrieved from the RRI and from the Permanent Storage Vault. i In addition, QACEG reviewed five SQN QA audit reports  !

relative to the records retrievability in the Document I

Control and QA Records areas for 1985 and 1986. This review concluded that no major breakdown in the RRI was reported. 3 i

5.4.2.2 Conclusion Based on the above evidenc e , the issue of inadequate records retrievability for operating QA records is not l a valid issue.

The QACEG evaluation of this issue has determined that j the RRI was effective for the retrieval of operating l QA documents. The RRI is most effective when a unique identifier number, specific type document -or system number is used to retrieve desired records. '

QACEG to determine if the velder certifications were actually altered. Ihc investigation performed by QACEG did substantiate the issue that welder certifications were altered 1 contrary to TVA's established requirements. This issue is discussed below.

A review was made of the QC Plant Log which documented . all i Special Process Surveys conducted by TVA since 1982. A sample. 3 of six surveys performed from July 1983 thru August 1985 was then selected for review to determine if the issue of " Altered j Welder Certifications" had been identified as a problem. {

These surveys encompassed welder qualifications and welder ]

continuity checks to determine if the program was being i controlled in accordance with SQM 17 and Specification DPM-N73M2. Each of these surveys identified various types of problems resulting in many DRs being issued. Additionally, in some ins tances CARS were initiated which required root cause analysis, resolution of condition adverse to quality, remedial .

corrective actions, and corrective' actions necessary .to prevent recurrence. The latest survey reviewed, dated ,

August 26-September 5, 1985 identified numerous welder i certification record discrepancies. These problems included 'I the following: j

a. Inappropriate changes were made by engineers or clerks to performance qualification records,
b. Welder Continuity Records contained conflicting entries.
c. Weld Rod Issue Cards did not provide adequate information to verify that welding had actually been performed.

As a result of'the various problems identified, CAR SQN-CAR-85-09-014 was initiated which required immediate ' corrective action. All SQN active welders' . files. were reviewed to identify and correct any discrepancies' related .to welder continuity and welder qualification. This review did not identify any welders who were working in violation of the applicable code. In several c as e s., however, welders were directed to .re-establish ' their certifications to ensure that all doubt had been removed concerning their qualifications.

The issue of welder certifications being altered by the use of -

correction fluids was reviewed- for. 75 welders from the.

Division of Nuclear Power and approximately 200 ' records from Construction revealed that contrary . 'to - the NQAM Part III,-

Section 4.1 and AI-7, para. 4.2.6, corrections were made to some Welding Ter-formance Qualification records . by use of correction fluid.

. 3 TVA EMPLOYEE CONCERNS REPORT NUMBER:

SPECIAL PROGRAM 80504-SQN REPORT TYPE REVISION NUMBER:

Element Report 6 TITLE: PAGE 25 0F 28 Quality Assurance Records Based upon copies of welding records obtained from several microfilm rolls there was evidence that some of the welding records .did have corrections made to relevant information which could be significant to the quality information applicable to the welder certifications. Corrections were made to Guided Bend Test results, entries on welder qualification. lists, position and specimen numbers, electrode or filler metal type and size, backing ring or strip and diameter and/or thickness. With regard to the welding records of the Division of Nuclear Power, the certification records reviewed were the actual hard copies located both in the active and inactive files. There was evidence of correction fluid being use.d on 'five of the seventy-five certification  !

records reviem.d in the active Nuclear Power file. These corrections were made to entries in the Qualification Test blocks, date qualified / locations blocks, welder continuity records and to the actual Test Results block for Guided Bend 3 tests. These corrections could be significant to the quality information applicable to the welder certifications.

These conditions violate the. requirements of NQAM Part III, Section 4.1, which states that in the preparation of a QA 'l record changes / corrections should be made by marking a single line through the item to be changed making the new entry and i entering the dated initials of the person making the j change / correction. SQNP AI-7, Paragraph 4.2.6 requirements are similar to the higher-tier document.

5.5.2 Conclusion Based on the above evidenc e, the issue of- welder certifications being altered is valid. The documented evidence of welder certifications being altered is a violation of the requirements of TVA procedures and practices. The Welder Performance Qualification Records maintained by both Construction and Nuclear Power . are defined as QA records,

n. _. _ _ therefore, these records are within the scope of the NQAM and -

SQN site procedures.

I. BACKCROUND A Hucicar Saf ety Revicw Staf f (NSRS) follow-up corrective action

  • investinction was conducted to detcrmine the validity of an expressed employee concern received by Quality Technology Company (QTC)/ Employee Response Team (ERT). The concern of record, as summarized on the Employee Concern Assignment Requcct Form f rom QTC and identified as SQP-6-002-001, stated: s

.l

- CONCERU: QA Records are not identifiable and retrievable. NSRS Investigation I-83-13-NPS identified problems in 1983 and NSRS Report R-85-07-NPS indicates problems not corrected in mid-1985. OE, OC and Nuclear Power Records are cited.

An NSRS follow-up revich of Investigation I-83-13-NPS did find that corrective actions resulting from the original NSRS investigation had not been completely closed out. The results of that follow-up review are documented in NSRS Report R-85-07-NFS (Ref. 1) along with a recommendation (R-85-07-NPS-01) that the Manager of Power and Engineering appoint a records manager to provide upper management coordination for resolution of the open items which had been identified.  ;

II. SCOPE A. The scope of'this investigation is defined by the concern of f;hjf5

df record. It is that problems previously identified by NSRS investigation 7-83-13-NPS, and the corresponding follow-up review

.. E-85-07-NPS, have not been corrected for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN). >

B. The scope included determination of status and progress of the open ite=s identified in I-83-13-NFS and R-85-07-NFS as they pertain to SQN.

C. The scope of the follow-up investigation also included discussions with site and, task f orce personnel who are actively involved in the

~

resolution of these ite=s. j III. SUmte.RY OF yINDINOS 2; . . . .: .

~

A. R-85-07-NPS* contained reco=mendation R-85-07-EPS-01'which

... recommended that Power and Engineering (Nuclear);[p&E (Nuclear))

appoint an upper-level manager empowceed with the responsibility, y authority, and organi ationaj freedom to assure that records .l associated with the procurement and installation. of. Quality.

Engineering Branch (QEB) source inspected equipment and materials

,, y are assembled, verified for completeness, indexed, and stored for

. fing retrievability. The recommendation.further stated that the

'If appointee's scope should include all past andLfuture QEB source O'y inspected procurements for SQN, as well as Watts Bar and (a " Bellefonte, and the establishment of a schedule f or completion af j

'" past records.  !

}

P&E (Nucicar) subsequently informed NSRS (Ref. 3) that an appointment had been made, and identified personnel who would provide a:sistance to the appointee. Following the appointment, meetings of the personnel were held on September 17, 1985, and December 16, 1905, to discuss resolution of the open items identified in NSRS follow-up review Report R-85-07-NPS. ,These meetingr are documented in references 4 and 13 along with specific action items and schedules f or resolution of the problens.

IV. STATUS OF PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED OPEN ITEMS A. Develop an Integrated Records Svstem for Quality Assurance (OA)

Records That Will Satisfy the Needs of Nuclear Power (UUC PR) and Office of Ennineering Design Construction (OEDC) l

1. Paragraph IV.A.1 of R-85-07-NPS states that a TVA task force was working on vender manuals at the time of the first USRS follow-up review, however, two areas of concern were identified regarding vendor manuals as follows:
a. A question was raised by USRS regarding whether any of the manuals were considered "one-of-a-kint", and therefore, in ces need of fireproof storage. This finding was addressed in (g[fgg paragraph V.C of the report. '

s'

f. i'Y ...

Subsequently, ID-QAp-6.2 (Ref.15) was revised to; require

~

$%$$ll) that those vender manuals utilized as plant instructions

U* t will be maintained as' QA records. This'fequirement, in

~

co=bination with' existing requirements of LI-23 (Ref. 16),

- appear to establish adequate protection for ender v manuals for SQU.

b. The applicable procedures for vender manual control were found to be~ vague in the delegation of responsibilities.

A task force was developing a new procedure regarding. the maintenance of vender manuals which was expected to correct the problem. This finding was addressed in paragraph V.E' of the report. Subsequently, ID-QAP-6.2 (Ref.1.5) was revised to more clearly prescribe organizational responsibilities regarding the control of vender manuals.

indexing procedures ,had been prepared and were in various stages of implementation. It was further stated that this item

^

will remain open until more experience is gained by P&E (Nuclear) ^ with the records indexing system. This matter is discussed in the following paragraphs.

1. Paragraph IV.A.2.a of R-85-07-UPS states that QEB records were not adequately indexed and-that there was some concern

~

)

regarding their completeness. -At the time of the the first USRS follow-up review, cfforts were'under way to index'and microflim completed contracts; however, a schedule had not been established for completing the overall task. Initially, a completion date of December 31,,_1987,' was set by the P&E j (Nuclear) task force (III.A) .for completing the overall task

- f or 'all projects (Ref. 4) . However, a recent commitment.was made that appropriate manpower resources will be expended to ensure that a deadline of June 30, 1986,'will be met for SQN (Ref. 13). . QEB is utill:ing a four-step-approach which includes' identification, location, verify completeness, and microfilming of the records (Ref. 4).

Sequoyah has concurred with the parameters that QEB is using'to index their records (i.e... vendor / contract number). However, site personnel normally'must-request the records by Unique Identifier Number (UNID). Therefore, efforts are in progress.

to provide a cross-reference between UNID and vendor / contract numbers. The Equipment Qualification Information System (EQIS) is being investigated as the link to provide-.this

'e:-- cross-reference.(Ref. 6 and 13). This item remains open.

2 .- Paragrap'h IV.A.2.b of R-85-07-NPS states that all OC records np -

for Sequoyah had been transferred or were in the final' stages s of microfilming at the time of the first NSRS follow-up- reviest.

~

.' Microfilming of all the records underkay.at the time of.the'-

review have been completed. L'However, another T75 cubic feet of-contract-related files and various other reco~rds were.

discovered by SQN-DOU personnel in warehouses incated by 00, in addition-to several files'at other locations. 'SQN-DOU and RIMS-Chattoonsa personnel.are working to' microfilm these--

additional records and have completed filming.about 36 cubic

~

feet.* Eanual indices will be, established for these records-

  • pending resolution of problems associated with the Records Retrieval.Tndex .(RRI) system. Microfilming'is proceeding on an

<. "as-soon-as possible" basis (Ref. 10, 12, 13'and'14). ~This. -

item remains open.

Paragraph IV.A.2.b of E-85-07-NFS also states that ,a-RRI system.-

M , .

was prepared but 'jud'ged to be not totally effective .at the L time of the first NSRS follow-up review. .

UUC PR personnel subsequently conducted a review of' the.RRI to identify deficiencies and initiate recommendations to correct

, , . . any problems (Ref. 4 and' 7). The NUC PR review confirmed that the RRI;was deficient in several areas'and recommendations were i t, . i made to identify all OC record types and develop detailed instructions,for thefretrieval of.each,reccrd. {

The P&E (Nuclear) task force (III.A) established to resolve the open items of E-85-07-UPS has taken the recommendations under concideration and has acted to establish a sub-task group to

rework the SQN RRI using original ERI guidelines" (Ref.13).

The chairman of the sub-task group has met with cognicant

~

> personnci and is proceeding with efforts to rework,the REI. A date for completion of the task has not been set. This item

4 Paragraph IV.A.2.d states that continued upper management coordination involvement at a level capable of crossing organication boundaries is considered necessary until the problems are solved and records syste=s prove effective.

This matter appears to have been adequately addressed by P&E

) distribution-. SON document control personnci stated.that the-initials were added'by unauthorized.~ personnel and in a manner-which contradicted office' practice. .~he DCU office supervisor stated that the proper' method of correction was by reissuance of the drawing, recall of the incorrect drawing, and a memorandum of explanation to the document holders. He stated that this correction would be initiated promptly. The n~onconforming situation was reported in SCR SQN SQP8603'R0 dated January 11, 1986.

i. Concern SQM-6-003-004 As noted above, it was found that drawings 1SW810-44 R7 and 45W833-1 R4 were issued without the Project Manager'sz initials and th'at, initials were added to the mylars without authori:ation after issuance. Because of this. bypassing of appropriate corrective action, which should have included' recall of the:

incorrect. drawings.and reissue of correct one's, the' distributed drawings were left.in an uncorrected status. 'Thus, the addition of initials to the mylars did not cause anything to.be changed in the system of distribution. It was. determined that numerous individuals had access to the mylars;and could:have placed the initials. It is not known who placed them or what'their motivation may have been. The nonconforming condition. ..

concerning the initials is included in SCR SQN SQP8603 RO.

1. Concerns SQM-6-002-002 and SQM-6-002-003 .,

The Office Supervisor for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant.(SQN) i He Engineering Project came to the position in January _1985.

stated that' drawing controls at that time for both the TVA and vendor drawings were not fully adequate;:that' original drawings J for SQN design work were not'always-immediately available as 1 needed;'and that first priorities for correction were placed on' the TVA drawings and on'several other critical matters affecting.

the SQN' engineering designLeffort. .The vendor drawings received f a second priority. The immediate' supervisor verified to NSRST that this, statement of priorities. represented'the management ,

priorities at that time.

In order to. verify that all TVA drawings;were available and to

' correct any deficiencias by reordering replacements.(washoffs),

a TVA, drawing audit was ionducted during September'-October 1985. The office Supervisor verified the' employee's statement that an audit of vendor drawings-was-.to have been performed at the eenclusion of the TVA drawing audit. . He stated that the'

+$C vendor drawing audit was postponed from October 1985 to January- i j M6 ,

1986 because staff was needed on other projects, butlthat the j l

i

!$k Y'

audit was begun in ~ January and, had' been in process l f or three .

j weeks.

In order to r.aintain a dated listing of all replacement drawings

[

requested from Office of. Engineering Enoxville, a washoff. log was initiated.by the SQN Office Supe _rvisor on August 1, 1985. ~

The leg included 240 entries at the time of the investigation 1n. ,

February 1986.- Of thesa, approximately 220--over . 90 ' percent of

3. Concerns SQM-6-002-005~and: SQM-6-002-006

~

At the time a drawing. original is determined.to have been' lost, a replacement original ("washoff") is requested from the Office of Engineering, Knoxville. The washoffs are produced fromithe'-

microfilm aperture cards-maintained by the-Technical ~1nformation Center. As noted'above, approximately 240 washoffs were.

requested between August'1, 1985, and February 1986, with over 90 percent:of' the replacements being for. vendor drawings. The .-

OE Reprographics Supervisor stated that because the vendor drawing originals before 1976'were routinely discarded, there is_

a periodic need at the-sites to provide washoffs from the-aperture cards. .He-did not believe that;the quantity-of.SQN' requests was unusu'a1. .He. stated.that;SQN was'the first site to centralize the authority f'o'rlwashoff requests, thus minimizing duplicate or' unnecessary. requests'. He indicated that Knoxville desired similar.. centrali=ation at the .other sites.

Unen a replacement drawing is received'at the Office of.. '

$ Engineering SQN site, the replacementtis checked in and becomes s

the' nek " original" which will be'- the" bast.line' drawing f or " '

i,kf <.h subsequent changes. . 'If- a missing drawins'should eventually

% . reappear and not be properlyJdispositioned, the, potential would exist f or the two " originals" to contain . obsolete 'or conflict-ing data whenever one drawing was updated but;not.the:cther. The controls which are now in place .to avoid lost and duplicative drawings include the following: a ..

- (a) Drawing checkout system:.-Dradings-are'c.hecked out*from the-drawing tanks on a Drawing / print Request Form whichL

~

includes a self-checking section for removal of drawings af ter hours if necessary.VIt was . deter =ined that thec Office of Ensinsering' Seetion; heads had keys to the drawingJ ,

area for access after,ne .::a1 worki.s hours when drawing control .perscnnel were not present.- Although this provides:

some possibilities for drawings to" stray": af ter hours, the office supervisor did not-b'elieve: this to be any major.

wi_, . _ ~ _ c_ 2_; problem. ,He vigorously supported' the; necessity for 24-hour:

~

access to the, drawing. originals, demonstrated 2theLease-of . ,

ATTACHMENT E PAGE 6 0F 7 (b) Drawing check-in system: Whenever it is necessary to i request a replacement for a lost original, a note is placed :i f in the drawing' checkout,fil'e.for any cases where the lost original reappears. Subsequently, if a drawing being l checked in is one for which a' replacement had been ordered, J the document control clerk is flagged to cancel the pJJ replacement order or to withdraw one or the other original from the system.

f; (c) Centralized. ordering of replacements: As noted above SQN i

{

is the first TVA site to. centralize the authority'for . .

washoff requests. .OE Reprographics is to deny all requests 4 except those channeled through the authority. The OE Supervisch of-Reprographics stated,th'at'this centralization is helping to eliminate duplicative requests wherein' two or more individuals might order the same replacement.
