--
" Plant Design Change Request" (PDCR).
QA 1.2-5.1, revision 5, dated September 26, 1978, entitled

--
QA 1.2-10.1, revision 3, dated October 27, 1975, entitled
" Installation Inspection" establishes procedures for verifying equipment location, installation and assembly per drawing and instructions.
The inspector examined work control procedures for activities involving welding, open flame, or other ignition sources, verifying that these procedures require special authorization and that they take cognizance of nearby flammable materials, cable trays or critical process equipment.
Procedures examined for this determination included: Administrative Procedure (ADM) 1.1-46, revision 0, dated April 30,1976, entitled " Control of Welding, Burning, Soldering."
.
.
.

The inspector verified that the Administrative Procedure 1.1-46 requires a fire watch if activity identified above is to be per-formed in proximity of flammable materials.
The capability for communication with the control room is provided by emergency tele-phones located throughout the plant for such use.
No items of noncompliance were identified.
3.
Quality Assurance (QA) Surveillance a.
The inspector verified that the licensee has a procedure that requires auditing of " Instructions and Procedures" as prescribed in the Northeast Utilities Quality Assurance Manual (QAM)
Volume II. This document specifies that audits will be per-formed in prescribed areas as specified by the Quality Control Coordinator. The Connecticut Yankee Audit Schedule of June 1, 1978 differs from that approach in the QAM Volume II Manual.
The licensee is presently reviewing the audit schedule of June 1,1978 and that schedule issued in the QAM. This matter is considered to be unresolved pending NRC review of the quality assurance audit inspection schedule (213/78-28-01).
b.
The inspector reviewed the job order list in the operations control log for the year 1978. The inspector selected ten job orders verifying that they had been authorized and approved by designated operating personnel and that surveillance had been performed in conformance with established controls, c.
No penetration seals were changed during 1978 except the modi-fications made in compliance with IE Bulletin 77-05, entitled
" Electrical Connector Assemblies." Details of this inspection are documented in inspection report 50-336/78-02 dated January 3-6, 1978.

" Plant Design Change Request" (PDCR) to determine whether administrative controls have been imposed that require review of all replacement cable penetration seals to assure flammable materials are not used.
Altho;gh this procedure does not specifically address cable penetration seals, it does require review of the suitability of materials for intended us.
