ATTACIMENT RE: TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 Am 4 DOCKET WS. 50-250, 50-251 IE INSPECTION REPORT 83-36 FINDING:

10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion IV, and the licensee's accepted QA Progran (FPL-NQA-100A, Revi sion 6), TQR4, collectively requi re that measures be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements are suitably included or referenced in documents for procurement of materials.

Contrary to the above, measures have not been established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements are included or referenced in documents for procurement of materials in that:

1. Pl c.nt procedures have not been provided for determining that materials (spare and replacement parts) are purchased to specifications and codes equivalent to those specified for the original equipment.

2. Procedures have not been provided to assure consistency between corporate and plant staffs concerning classifications of materials. Addition ally, procedures have not been provided to handle unresolved issues between corporate and plant staffs relative to safety classification differences.

RESPONSE

1. First Example:

A. FPL concurs with the finding.

B. The reason for the finding is that the requi rement to purchase replacements equal to or better than the original quality has been so ingrained into our purchasers no one noticed it wasn't specifically stated in the plant procedure.

C. As corrective action, it has be reaffinned that plant QC procurement document revi ewers understand the requirement to b ly repl acement material equal to or better than original equipment.

D. In order to prevent recurrence, appropriate p1 ant procedures will be revised to assure spare parts are purchased equal to or better quality than original equipment.

E. Full compliance will be achieved by March 31, 1984.  ;
