• R. G. Peck, Deputy Operation Manager The NRC inspector also interviewed other licensee and contractor employees during the course of.the inspectio * Denotes those attending the exit intervie . Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Violation (8604-01): Failure to Properly Inspect - Corrective action consisted of a reinspection of all cabinets which had been identified as completed by QC personnel. Nonconformance Reports-(NCRs)

were issued to address the discrepancies, and all Engineering,'QC, and staff personnel had been reinstructed on the requirements for the installation of electrical equipment. The NRC inspector reviewed numerous NCRs, Design Change Notices (DCNs), and Field Change Notices (FCNs) and determined the inspection-program was satisfactory.

i This item is considered close . 'QA Programs and Procedures - Instrumentation Components and Systems The purpose of this inspection was to determine whether appropriate and adequate QA procedures exist to ensure compliance with NRC requirements f , and licensee commitments for the performance of the following activities l pertaining to instrumentation components and systems: receipt, storage, l installation, construction testing, and calibration and change control.

-3- Receipt Inspection The NRC inspector examined the licensee's QA procedures for. receipt inspection of instrumentation components and systems. The procedures examined and the licensee's adherence to these procedures appeared to meet NRC requirements and licensee commitments. The procedures examined are listed below:

Receiving Inspection - WPP/QCI-4.0, Revision 12, dated April 4, 1986

Nonconforming Material Parts and Components - WPP/QCI-5.0, Revision 7, dated October 17, 1983 The examined procedures provided for adequate inspection of safety-related instrumentation upon receipt to assure that the instruments were undamaged, were in conformance with purchase specifications, and that specified inspection reports were prepare No violations or deviations were identifie Storage of Safety-Related Instrumentation The NRC inspector examined the licensee's QA procedures for the storage of safety-related instrumentation and components. The procedures examined and the licensee's adherence to these procedures appeared to meet NRC requirements and licensee comitment 'The procedures examined are listed below:

Storage and Houskeeping - WPP/QCI-13.0, Revision 10

Maintenance Inspection Reports - WPP/QCI-2 The examined procedures provided for adequate inspection to assure that special handling and onsite storage requirements were me Adherence to the procedures assured that storage requirements, including environmental protection and segregation of nonconforming material, were me No violations or deviations were identifie Installation The NRC inspector examined the licensee's QA procedures for the installation of safety-related instrumentation and components. The procedures examined and the licensee's adherence to these procedures appeared to meet NRC requirements and licensee commitments.
