i NOTICE OF VIOLATION i

Public Service Company of New Hampshire Docket No. 50-443

Seabrook Unit 1 License No. CPPR-135 I As a result of the inspection conducted on July 8 - August 27,1985 and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published -in the Federal Register on March 8,1984 (49 FR 8583) the following violations were

identified

.

i i CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion III and the Seabrook Station FSAR, Section 17.1.'1.3 require that the suitability of- materials and processes essential to

'

the safety-related functions of components be reviewed and that deviation >

'from the appropriate quality) standards be controlled. Procedure, ASP-3 (Revision 2 , '

conformance report (NCR)' dispositions are used as design changes, to include

providing design details appropriate _to the identified nonconforming conditions.

i UE&C NCRs 74/1903B and 74/29148 specify repair dispositions to the limit switch j supports on three safety-related, safety injection (SI) valve { Contrary to the above, as of July. 19,1985, repair work was completed to the three subject, safety-related valve limit switch supports (1-SI-V89, V90, & I i V93) using design details,as specified by NCRs 74/19038 and 74/2914B, which .

1 were inappropriate to the identified nonconforming conditions and which were unclear as-to specifying the controls and standards necessary to assure the ability ~of the affected components to perfonn their safety-related function This lack of design change clarity resulted in the installation of material

'

. and welds in conflict with engineering intent and in the failure to apply the required quality assurance controls, including inspection, to safety-related j

l work activitie This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement II)'. ,

.

i CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI and the Seabrook Station FSAR, Section ,

l 17.1.1.16 require that conditions adverse to quality be corrected. In the '

! case of significant conditions adverse to quality, particularly those governed

! by 10CFR50.55(e) requirements, the corrective measures prescribe that the actions

taken be documented and reported, as appropriate. Seabrook Project Policy

'

No.27 (Revision 3) specifies that in the reporting of 10CFR50.55(e) information,.

i corrective action is verified to have been completed by the Construction QA-

organization prior to the issuance of a Final Report to'the NRC. For a re-

portable 10CFR50.55(e) deficiency on the diesel generator exhaust silencer

! pedestal cracking, corrective action was specified to ~be the redesign and i replacemer.t of' the original concrete pedestals with steel pedestals. The l

Final Report to the NRC, dated June 10,1985, stated that .the redesign and l rework had been complete '

l Contrary to the above, as of July 8,1985, corrective action to the subject l deficiency on the diesel generator exhaust silencer pedestal cracking had not been completed prior to the issuance of the Final Report to the NRC. Construc-  :

applied by relying only on documentation, in lieu of hardware, verificatio The QA program for corrective measures was also inadequate, for this case, in

.

not requiring that all safety-related work activities be examined and documented

! in accordance with quality control acceptance criteria. These inadequacies

! led to incomplete and unverified bolting work on the steel replacement pedestals at a time when QA docunentation and the June 10,1985 Final Report

.

indicated the corrective action rework had been completed.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement II).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Public Service Company of New Hampshire ,

is hereby required to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of the '

letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply,

! including for each violation: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further j violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response tim !
