10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion V requires in part that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with established procedures. These procedures shallinclude appropriate quantitative or qualitative accomplishment criteria.
Contrary to the above, three examples of inadequate accomplishment of procedure controls associated with temporary equipment installed in the Hope Creek service water intake structure maintenance were identified as follows:
l (1)
On February 24,1998, maintenance technicians erected a scaffold work platform around the "B" service water pump strainer, and on March 31, 1998, maintenance technicians erected a scaffold work platform around the "D" service water pump strainer without performing the administrative controls and inspections required by maintenance procedure SH.MD-AP.ZZ-0023 (Q), Revision 0, " Scaffolding Erection, Mod;fication and Dismantling Guidelines."
