l inspections or tests, requires reinspection and/or retesting to the extent necessary to demonstrate acceptability based on the original criteria and conformance with the approved rework / repair directives.

17.1.1.5A Reporting of Quality Program Status to Management l The Director-QA submits a monthly QA activities report to the Senior -

l Vice President-RBNG. This report contains information on audits l conducted, meetings attended, and miscellaneous activity or areas of l special interest, i.e. , notification point, NRC inspection, and l consultant activity.

l The Director-QA submits a QA status report every two months to the l Senior Vice President-RBNG, with copies to cognizant GSU, SWEC and GE l management personnel. This report contains a summary of the Quality l Assurance Finding Reports (QAFR) opened during the month, a status of l existing QAFR's, QAFR's closed during the month, the status of NRC l Inspection Findings, the identification of significant quality l problems, and a QAFR trend analysis of the previous six months.

17.1.15B Nonconforming Materials, Parts, and Components l Measures are taken to control nonconforming or unsatisfactory material, parts or components.

Material, equipment, and workmanship that deviates from approved specifications, codes, plans, or other applicable documents are n, l considered unsatisfactory / nonconforming conditions and are controlled in order to prevent their inadvertent use in fabrication and/or installation. The control of nonconformances is detailed in written procedures which describe specific identification, documentation, segregation, disposition, and notification requirements.

Nonconformances discovered during any phase of engineering, manufacturing, fabrication, shipment, receipt, storage, installation, l

construction, or testing are reviewed and accepted, rejected, repaired, reworked, or scrapped in accordance with documented procedures.

Documented procedures reference the individual's and groups' responsibility for assigning dispositions to those nonconformances that can or cannot be corrected to meet the requirements and scope of the specification, code, plan, or other applicable documents. The procedures also reference the ultimate disposition, acceptance and repair and rework acceptance of the nonconformance.

l 17.1.15.1B Nonconformances at Seller Shops

( l A nonconformance discovered in a vendor's shop by a Procurement QA ,. . .a ,

17.1.15.2B Nonconformities at Construction Site .

l Written procedures in the Quality Standards Manual detail the use of l SWEC's Nonconformance and Disposition Reporting System. By use of an l unsatisfactory inspection report or N&D Report, responsible individuals I are required to provide a disposition to the nonconformance within l their assigned authority and responsibility. If the deficiency cannot l be resolved to meet the specification or requires a special repair l procedure, the N&D Report is forwarded to the Project Engineer for his l resolution. The nonconformity is considered closed when the required disposition has been accomplished and reinspection verifies that adherence to disposition requirements have been met. The l unsatisfactory inspection report or N&D is then signed by the l Superintendent of Field QC and entered in the Master QC File.

l When a nonconforming condition is identified by organizations other l than the above, including GSU, N&D's can be initiated by that l organization after contacting the Superintendent of FQC or the Chief of l the responsible Procurement QA district as appropriate.

17.1.16B Corrective Action
