TXX-4435 3/11/85 Page 2 ATTACHMENT FAILURE TO PROPERLY CERTIFY A VENDOR COMPLIANCE INSPECTOR Failure to Properly Certify a Vendor Compliance Inspector Criterion V of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, states in part, " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings."

TUGC0 Procedure DQP-VC-4, Revision 6, dated January 5, 1984, requires that Level II inspectors (Corporate QA) shall attend and satisfactorily complete nonde-structive testing courses including eddy current testing.

Contrary to the above, one of six inspector's files had no documentation to show that the inspector had attended and completed an eddy current testing course.

Subsequent, discussions revealed that he had been certified without meeting this requirement. The vendor compliance supervisor stated that this inspection skill is not needed since there is no present vendor work activity which would require this skill; therefore, this procedure was revised and the requirement omitted during this inspection.

This is a Severity Level V Violation. (Supplement II) (445/8432-05; 446/8411-05)

Corrective Steps which have been taken and the results achieved:

The certification of the inspector without the required eight (8) hour training was an oversight. A review of all six (6) Vendor Compliance Inspector's work reflected no instance where eddy current testing was involved. The procedure revision discussed below was processed to reflect our actual inspection needs.

Corrective steps which have been taken to avoid further violations:

As there is no present nor planned vendor work activity which would require this skill, TUGCo Procedure DQP-VC-4 has been revised by deleting the requirement for an eight (8) hour training course in eddy current testing. Should the need for a familiarity with eddy current testing arise, the Vendor Compliance Supervisor will take the necessary action to either train or obtain a qualified inspector.

Date when full compliance will be achieved:

Procedure DQP-VC-4 was revised August 27, 1984.
