.C ATTACHMENT 1 Notice of Violation August 15, 1980 Ap endix A, Item B.3 in letter from R.H.Engelken to R.L.Ferguson, dated (80-08/22)

Notice of Violation:

Piping isometric drawings SW-290-11.20 and SW-297-.7 identify that these spools are subject to the re-quirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1971 Edition, Section III, Class III and were identified as ()uality Class I.The examination requirements and acceptance criteria for welds in ASME Section III, Class III piping, pumps and valves are specified in paragraph ND-5220.I'J Contrary to the above requirements, the governing accep-tance standard identified in Northwest Industrial XRay Liquid Penetrant Examination Reports Nos.230 and 244, dated July 31, 1975 and August 20, 1975, respectively, was ASME Section VIII.The liquid penetrant examination reports indicated that the results of these examinations performed on pipe spools SW-290-11.20 and SW-297-8.17 were evaluated to the acceptance standards of ASME Section VIII.These standards are less stringent than those re-quired by ASME Section III.This is a deficiency.

Summary Due to Bechtel Power Corporation assuming Contract 215 (WBG)System Com-pletion work and associated procedure changes, it is necessary to revise our response.Actions to Correct Deficiency:

0 Old Response: New Response: Inspection Report No.6047 was written to document the discrepancy.

WBG will review all completed liquid pene-trant reports and segregate those reports with the incor-rect acceptance standard and document any additional dis-crepancies on Inspection Reports.These discrepant liquid penetrant reports will be reviewed against the ASME Sec-tion III requirements and appropriately dispositioned.

NCR 6946 has been written to document this discrepancy and has been sent to the Architect Engineer (AE)for dispo-sition.Of the 344 welds identified to date as being examined to ASME VIII requirements, only 8 are ASME Code.The balance of the welds are ANSI B.31.1 and have been dispositioned"accept-as-is" by the AE.Six (6)of the 8 ASME welds have been re-examined using Section III NDE requirements.

All of the welds re-examined were found to be acceptabl I Attachment 1 Page Two Actions to Correct Deficiency:

New Response: (Continued)

The 2 remaining ASME Code welds have signed N-5 data re-ports on file..WBG will review all completed liquid penetrant reports and segregate those reports with the incorrect acceptance standard and document any additional discrepancies on inspection reports.These discrepant liquid penetrant reports will be reviewed against the ASME Section III requirements and appropriately dispositioned.

Action to Prevent Recurrence:

Old Reponse: The acceptance critiera for liquid penetrant examinations are delineated in QAP-16.These acceptance criteria con-form to ASME Section III requirements, even though QAP-16 references ASME Section VIII in addition to ASME Section III.QAP-16 will be revised to delete reference to ASME Section VIII.New Response: All future liquid penetrant examinations will be performed by a Bechtel approved subcontractor, using procedures approved by Bechtel Level III NDE personnel.

All ASME liquid penetrant examinations for a joint are specified on a Quality Control Inspection Record (QCIR)and is reviewed and approved prior to release for work by Bechtel's Lead Melding Quality Control Engineer in accordance with Bech-tel QCI 14631/W-l.00.

Also, after the examination is performed, all ASME liquid penetrant reports (QCIR)are reviewed and signed by Bechtel's ANI.Date of Full Compliance:

Old Response: December 1, 1980 New Response: 90 days prior to Fuel Load
