DPR-19; DPR-25 During a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on*February 12 through March 5, 1998, one violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.8.A.1 required the implementation of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, 1978 "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operations)."
Regulatory Guide 1.33 required the implementation of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) N 18. 7-1976/ ANS-3.2, "Administrative Controls and Quality Assurance for the Operational Phase of Nuclear Power Plants."
Section 5.2.12 of ANSI N18.7-1976 required that ANSI N45.2.9-1974, "Requirements for Collection, Storage, and Maintenance of Quality Assurance Records for Nuclear Power Plants,"
be used for the management of plant records during the operational phase.
Appendix A of ANSI N45.2.9-1974 required that Measuring and Test Equipment (MITE) calibration records be retained as quality assurance (QA) records for at least five years.
Contrary to the above, the licensee identified that previous to December 22, 1997, the Master Records Retention Schedule of General Procedure GP 136, dated September 15, 1995, "Retention of Company Records, " failed to designate measuring and test equipment calibration records as quality assurance records and the procedure allowed the records to be eliminated after three years.
