General Electric Company Nuclear Energy Business Group Docket No. 99900403/81-01 NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on March 9-13, 1981, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full conformance with NRC requirements as indicated below:
Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 states:
" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instruc-tions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that impor-tant activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."
Identified nonconformances are as follows:
A.
Eng'ineering Operating Procedure, EOP 40-9.20 (ASME Code Effective Date),
requires that the responsible engineer assure that the ASME Code effective dates and Code Cases are referenced in design documentation released for procurement or manufacture.
Contrary to the above, the ASME Code effective date and Code Case were not referenced on Engineering Instructions E.I. No. 120-3178, Revision G, dated 9/18/79, which was a conditional release of items 10 and 11 for Orifice Fuel Supports.
This omission was identified to the initiating engineer by telephone on 9/26/79, but was not corrected on the next revision of the E.I.
Corrective action and preventive measures were taken prior to completion of the inspection, therefore no written response relating to this finding is required.
Refer to DetailsSection I.C.1 for additional information.
B.
Engineered Equipment Procurement Section (EEPS) procedure, EEPS-1 (Engineered Equipment Procurement Section Internal Audit Procedure), states in part, "The Lead Auditor will prepare an overall summary audit report, including the subsection reports and forward it to the Manager EEPS within 30 days after the Post-Audit Conference...
The Lead Auditor will suomit to the Manager EEPS a Bi-monthly report identifying the status of the committed corrective actions...
Internal EEPS audits will be conducted in accordance with ANSI Standard N45.2.12."

C.
Engineering Operating Procedure, E0P 42-6.10 (Engineering Document Issue and Application), states in paragraph 4.4.f. that the Responsible Manager approves or disapproves the ERM (Engineering Review Memorandum) after review is complete and all comments have been resolved.
Contrary to the above, approximately 45 percent of the Engineering Review Memorandum that were examined by the inspector were signed by the responsible manager prior to the completion of the review.
Corrective action and preventive measures were taken prior to completion of the inspection, therefore no written response relating to tnis finding is required.
