United States Nuclear Regulatory Cammissicn' November 15 1984~
Attention:' - Mr. Thomas T. Marti a, Direc tor -
Page 2 Contrary to the Quality Assurance requirements, the. licensee's -
contractors did not prescribe corrective' action to preclude repetition.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement II) applicable to
- CPPR-135.
~ RESPONSE Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved The licensee concurs with the violation as stated. The lack of adequate corrective action is evidence of the exercise of poor-judgement by the.
contractor in question. As a result of licensee involvement, the following l
. actiona have occurred:
i n
1.
P-H issued a memorandum to all its employees, dated August 30, 1984, discussing the falsification of documents and the punitive action which could result.
2.
P-H reviewed a sample of completed weld process sheets to determine if there were additional cases of trauthorized signatures. -One additional similar discrepancy was noted on ".he same process sheet which was the aubject of the original NCR. This sign-off was evidently made by the same unknown individual.
3.
YAEC CQA made an independent review of P-H weld process sheets to determine if the reported case was isolated. No additional cases were noted.
4.
As a remedial action, the weld was radiographed and found satisfactory.
5.
There is an ongoing' program for the training of site personnel regarding the seriousness of the falsification of documents or the providing of misleading information.
- 6..
Management's endorsement of the above listed corrective actions is an effort to preclude. recurrence.
Corrective action, other than the ongoing training, was completed on September 6,1984.
Very trul yours, 1
