  • Denotes attendance at exit interview on April 25, 198. Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings a. (Closed) Noncompliance (50-206/78-14/0)-RPV Closure Stud Examination Calibration Techniqu Straight beam, axial scan ultrasonic examination of reactor vessel closure studs 1-14 utilized a back reflection technique for calibration rather than a calibration block equipped with reflectors as required by paragraph T-525.2 of Article 5 of the ASME Code Section The inspector verified that the licensee has procured the requisite calibration standards. The inspector noted that the calibration holes had not been plugged as required by the ASME code to prevent deterioration of the calibration surface. The licensee committed to correct this situation immediately. The licensee engaged a new inservice inspection contractor following the 1978 refueling outage. The RPV closure stud examination procedure used by this contractor differs from that used by

the previous contractor and is discussed in paragraph 3 b. (Closed) Noncompliance (50-206/78-14/03) - Failure to perform surface examinations of RPV closure nut Surface examination of the reactor vessel closure nuts 1-14, Class 1 components, did not include examination of threads in the base material as required by IWB-2500 and IWB-2600 of ASME Section X The inspector verified that the licensee's examination program plan for this outage includes surface examination of the threaded area of reactor vessel closure nuts 1-14. This item is considered close c. (Closed) Unresolved Item (50-206/78-14/04) Ultrasonic Examination of RPV Closure Nuts Licensee procedures and calibration blocks were prepared based upon the use of side drilled holes as calibration reflector ASME Code Section V, Recommended Practice SA-388 recommends using rectangular or 60-degree V-notches on the inside diameter of the calibration bloc The ASME Code Section V provides no direct guidance for ultrasonic examination of nuts. Also the ASME Code Section XI, 1977 edition, has deleted the requirement for volumetric examination of the closure nuts and now requires a surface examination which may be deferred to the end of the inspection interval. Based upon the future code requirements and the conservative response of side drilled holes verses surface notches, this item is considered close.

IE Bulletin 79-02 a. Review of Procedures The inspector examined Special Engineering Procedure SPE-178 Revision 5 dated April 14, 1980 "Testing of Concrete Expansion Bolts - per IE Bulletin 79-02".

The inspector observed that the procedure does not provide for verification that full expansion of the anchor has been achieved as required by the bulletin. At the exit interview licensee management committed to implement the bulletin requirement to verify full anchor expansion. This item will be examined further on a future inspection (Item 50-206/80-11/01)

/

b. Observation of Work and Work Activities The inspector examined the testing of supports 1 SC-152-6 and S-1501-W-21 for conformance to the requirements of procedure SPE-178. No items of noncompliance or deviations were observe c. Review of Quality Records The testing of anchor bolts in the containment had not progressed very far. Of 67 supports in the containment requiring testing 11 had been tested at the time of inspection and six nonconformance reports had been generate The inspector examined the data for the six supports which had NCR's written against them. The supports were:

1 SS 1501 R-5, 1 SS 1501 R-7, 1 S 1501 W-22, 1 S 1501 W-6, 1 S 1501-W-16, and 1 SC 2501 R-No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified. At the exit interview the inspector discussed the bulletin requirement to increase the testing sample if the bulletin-required maximum anchor deficiency rate is exceede d. Other Items The licensee is not inspecting those supports which were modified in or about 1977 since those supports were installed using Hilti Kwik Bolts and according to the licensee had sufficient Quality Control documentation to meet the bulletin requirements. At the exit interview licensee management committed to forward the procedures used to control installation of these supports and some sample data sheets. The licensee management further committed to provide a list or otherwise scope these supports, The item will be inspected further upon receipt of the informatio (Item 50-206/80-11/02)

4. Pressurizer Code Safety Valves a. Review of Procedures The inspector examined the following procedures to determine if items critical to quality were required to be inspected and documented:

(1) Maintenance Procedure S-I-1.4 Revision 4 - April 14, 1980 Inspection, Repair and Testing of Pressurizer Relief Valves 532 and 53 (2) QC Inspection Procedure SOl-Xll-l.3 Revision 3 April 14, 1980,

"Quality Control Inspection of Repair and Testing of Pressurizer Relief Valves 532 and 53 (3) Instruction Manual, Crosby Valve and Gage Company "Safety Valves with Balancing Bellows Style HB".

(C770909S-05)

No items of noncompliance or deviations were observe The inspector observed that the code safety valves are set in a bench test in a cold condition. Station engineering was unable to provide any correlation data between hot lift and cold lift set points. At the exit interview licensee management committed to technically resolve this ite Item 50-206/80-11/0 b. Observation of Work and Work Activitie The inspector examined the valve disk and seat lapping of code safety valve 53 No items of noncompliance or deviations were observe The inspector examined valve 532 partially reinstalled on top of the pressurizer. The inspector noted the valve bonnet was properly vente The inspector observed that a blank flange had been installed on the pressurizer flange for valve 533. The flange had been installed loosely with one bolt; had apparently been bumped and was not completely covering the entrance to the pressurizer. The inspector closed the opening to the pressurizer due to the possibility of airborne contamination and notified the maintenance supervisor who subsequently had two bolts installed to prevent recurrenc At the exit interview the inspector expressed concern regarding possiblity of entry of foreign material in the pressurizer. Licensee management committed to investigate and take action as appropriat This item is considered unresolved. (Item 50-206/80-11/04)

c. Review of Records The inspector reviewed pressurizer safety valve maintenance data as recorded in Procedure SO1-XII-1.3 for valve 532 for 1980, and for value 532 and 533 for 1978. The records for 1977 could not be retrieved. At the exit interview licensee management committed to investigate and resolve this ite This item is considered unresolved. (Item 50-206/80-11/05)

5. Inservice Inspection a. Review of Program The inspector reviewed the following documents which comprise the licensee's inservice inspection program for the first 40-month period of the second ten-year interval. These documents were selectively reviewed for conformance to licensee committments, and the ASME Code Section XI, 1974 through Summer 1975 addend II

Engineering Procedure S-V-2.11, Revision A, Table B-5.2 specifies volumetric and surface examination of 24 - "A" reactor coolant pump bolts when removed and volumetric examination only, when not remove The examination plan for this outage specified only a visual examination of these bolts. The licensee corrected the program to include the required volumetric examinations and informed the inservice inspection contracto No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie b. Review of Quality Assurance Implementing Procedures The inspector reviewed the following examination procedures for conformance to the ASME Code Section XI, 1974 through Summer 1975, ASME Code Section V, and licensee committments:
