-in part, "When a nonconforming condition is identified, the individual shall immediately apply a IIold Tag, when practical....". Paragraph 3.1.2 of this procedure states, in part, " Nonconforming conditions shall be reported on the NCR form....".

Contrary to the above, during a NRC witnessed reinspection on August 6-7, 1985, of essential lighting system ESB1-42 (Unit 1, safeguards building, elevation 773 ft.) by an Evaluation Research Corporation (ERC) inspector and a TUGCO QC inspector, nonconforming hardware items were identified with respect to design document requirements. The. identified nonconforming items were outside of the defined ERC reinspection activity scope and the TUGCO inspector stated that they would be documented on a NCR form. As of August 29,1985, a NCR had not been written, a hold tag had not been applied and NRC followup established that a documented record of the nonconforming items had not been maintained.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement II) (445/8511-V-01).
