Attachment to CP&L Letter of Response to NRC Report RII: .GFM 50-400/83-06 Reported Violation:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V as implemented by PSAR Section 1.8.5.5 and.CP&L's Corporate QA Program Section 6.2.5 requires that activities?

affecting quality be accomplished in accordance with procedures.

Contrary to the above, on January 26, 1983, two service water piping spool pieces were found to be unsupported at the 30 foot. intervals which are required by construction procedure WP-102, Appendix A.. One of the spool pieces, partially-filled with water, was found unsupported for a distance of 31 1/2 feet, and the other piece was found. unsupported for a distance of 74 feet. Site records indicate that CP&L inspection personnel have identified at least five similar procedural violations in the last year involving' failure to adequately support' piping spool' pieces.

This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement L II.E.).

Denial or Admission and Reason for the Violation:

The violation is correct as stated. Responsible piping craft-personnel did not understand the procedural requirements or did not adequately monitor other craft activity in the area to control unauthorized removal of supports.

Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved:

Additional supports were added to comply with' procedural requirements of WP-102, Appendix A. Lines were evaluated for overstress and stress levels imposed were within acceptable levels. See NCR-M-223 and NCR-M-224 for calculations.

Corrective Steps Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance:

The Daniel Mechanical' Manager, CP&L Resident Engineer, and CP&L-Lead Piping.

Engineer investigated the incident and the responsible supervisor was instructed in WP-102 requirements. Additionally, . training was held in February,1983 under the Quality Improvement Program for all piping craft supervisors. As evidence of the training effectiveness, CI performed two surveillance tours per week, an'd' for the five-week period ending April 15,~1983, no violations have been detected.

Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved:

Full compliance was achieved on March 1, 1983.
