ATTACHMENT Re: Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket No. 50-250, 50-251 IE Ins ection Re ort 250-85-34 and 251-85-34 FINDING:

10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVIII states that a comprehensive system of planned and periodic audits shall be carried out to verify compliance with all aspects of the quality assurance program. The licensee's accepted equality Assurance (QA) Program (FPLTgAR 1-76A, Revision 7, Appendix C) endorses Regulatory Guide 1. 144 and ANSI N45.2. 12 (1977).

Regulatory Guide 1.144, Regulatory Position C.3.b(2)(b) requires applic-able elements of a suppliers gA program to be audited by the purchaser on a triennial basis .

Contrary to the above, the licensee's implementing procedure 0170AD6, Revision 4, paragraph 5.1(2) does not require triennial audits of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) vendors . Therefore, triennial audits of ASME vendors are not being implemented by the purchaser .

~Res oese:

1) FPL concurs with the violation.

2) FPL's interpretation of Regul atory Guide 1.144 and ANSI/ASME N45.2.12 (1977) allowed credit of ASME Survey to meet the triannual audit requirements for purchases from ASME vendors.

3) a) All ASME vendors who have not been audited within the past three years have been removed from the 0A Approved Suppliers List (gA-ASL) as of December 1, 1985 and will not be placed on the list until an appropriate audit has been performed.

b) A policy was immediately implemented to require ASME vendors to be'udited on a triannual basis, independent of ASME Surveys.

4) gl 7 gAD 6, "Methods for Supplier Evaluation", has been revised and submitted for approval to require triannual audits of ASME. vendors.

5) Full compliance will be achieved by January 31, 1986, with issuance of the revision to (}I 7 gAD 6 procedure.
