During an NRC inspection conducted on February 6-10, 1989, violations of NRC requirements were identified. The violations involved failure to provide _

appropriate corrective action and' failure to provide accurate information. In i accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC <

Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violations'are listed below:

A. Criterion XVI of 10 CFR Part 50 and the licensee's approved quality assurance program reouire that. conditions adverse to quality, such as, .

deficiencies, defective material, and nonconformances are promptly identified and' corrected.

Contrary to the above, corrective, actions were not taken in regard to radiographs of pressurizer spray piping welds.(i.e., Modification NR-FC-82-110 Welds F3A and FW3BR), that were identified by Operations Support Analysis Report (0SAR) No. 88-53 as not meeting ASME Code requirements with respe::t to weld penetration and/or permissible film density variations. In addition, corrective actions were not taken in regard to unacceptable film density variations in radiographs for Modifications MR-FC-82-110, Weld F5 and FC-84-188, Weld F3E, which were identified by Ouality control in Memorandum 88-QC-035 dated October 25, 1988.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplements)(285/8908-01)

B. 10 CFR Part 50.9 requires that information provided to the Commission by a licensee shall be complete and accurate.

Contrary to the above, the licensee's response to NRC Report No. 88-31 for Deviation 285/8831-02 was inaccurate, in that, the response stated that results of the review of modifications installed in'the 1987 outage showed that the radiographs and techniques used were of acceptable quality. The review as documented in OSAR No. 88-53 reports that radiographs were identified which did not meet Code requirements for technique and quality.

This is a Severity Level IV violation.
