Docket No. 50-457

As a result of the inspection conducted on April 30 through September 5, 1985,

and in accordance with the General Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement

Actions, (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C), the following violations were identified:

1.

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, as implemented by the Ceco Quality

Assurance Manual, Quality Requirement Section 5 requires that Quality

Assurance carried out for construction activities be described by

l

instructions and procedures.

Commonwealth Edison in its Quality Assurance Manual, Section 10 and

L. K. Comstock in its Procedure 4.1.3, " Qualification Classification and

Training of QC Personnel", commit to ANSI N45.2.6-1978.

ANSI N45.2.6-1978,

Paragraph 4, states, in part, " Personnel who are assigned the respons-

ibility and authority to perform functions covered by this Standard shall

have, as a minimum, the level of capability shown in Table 1."

Table 1

requires that evaluating the validity and acceptability of inspection,

examination and testing results be at least a Level II.

L. K. Comstock

(LKC) Procedure 4.1.2, Revision B, Paragraph 3.30, " Position Delineation,"

states, in part, " Quality Control Lead Inspectors...must be certified

Level II in designated areas...."

LKC's " Master Qualification List by

>

i

Discipline for Level II Inspectors," classifies 11 functional areas for

Level II capability, two of which are calibration and concrete expansion

j

anchors (CEAs).

Contrary to the above, the following instances of failure to qualify

-

personnel in accordance with procedures were identified:

,

a.

On May 25, 1984, a LKC QC inspector signed the Level II review

column on two LKC inspection checklists, form 23A, " Variable

'

Instrument Calibration," for torque wrenches A-531 and A-828,

although the inspector was not a certified Level II inspector in

i

i

calibration.

b.

From August 1984 to March 1985 the same QC inspector identified

abose was designated by LKC to be a Quality Control Lead Inspector

,

in calibration and CEAs, although the inspector had no certification

'

in those areas.

c.

Fro- March 1985 to May 1985 a second QC inspector was designated

lead in calibration but was not certified as a Level II in

that area.

!

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement II).
