2.
General The purpose of this inspection was to audit documentation and observe work activities associated with the NDE's performed during the 1976 refuelidg outage as a part of the licensee's ISI Program.
This is the first ISI performed as a part of the first inspection interval.
3.
ASME Section XI, Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program The inspector audited the licensee's ISI Program which was developed for the first inspection interval (ten years).
The program is titled
"ISI Ten Year Inspection Plan", and was developed to meet the require-ments of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, 1970 edition.
The ten year plan identifies those components to be examined

.
and stipulates method (s), extent and frequency of examinations.
The l
plan also identifies components / areas and specifies extent of examina-tions(s) to be performed each one-third (thrse and one-third years) of i
the inspection interval.
Prior to the first refueling outage a Schedule
-
of Inspections was developed identifying components and specifing examina-tions to be performed during the ensuing outage.
The schedule is developed on the basis that all components / areas will be cumulatively examined, during the inspection interval, as required and to the extent specified, in Table 4.2-1 of the Technical Specification.
,
i
The inspector found that the ten year program met the requirements of Section XI. of the ASME Code, 1970 Edition.
i
i a.
Implementing NDE Procedures i
The inspector reviewed implementing NDE procedures for the visual, surface and volumetric method of examining Clas.s 1 components ar.d
', weldments.The procedures were reviewed for technical content and
-
I
-
,
' adequacy. The specific procedures reviewed included the follow-
,
j ing:
i (1)' ISI-15, dated April 19, 1972, Revision 6, Issued June 27, 1975, j
" Ultrasonic Examination of Studs, Bolts and Nuts";
'
i
!
(2)
ISI-11, dated February 10, 1972, Revision 7, Issued April 15, j
1975, " Liquid Penetrant Examination Procedure",
,
.
l (3)
ISI-88, Revision 0,. dated December 31, 1975, " Remote Visual j
Examination of Reactor Vessel Internals," and; l
'
!
j (4)
00000-ESS-057, Revision 02, dr,ted May 24, 1976, " Eddy Current
'
Testing of Steam Generator Tubes".
f The ultrasonic procedure, ISI-15, specifies the type of equipment, j
frequency and linearity requirements,. method of calibration and
,
,
standards to be used with steps to establish the distance amplitude j
t
-
curve.
The procedure also specifies the method of recording indica-
!
'
tions consistent with Section XI, requirements.
l

The liquid penetrant procedure, ISI-11, delineates examination j
requirements such as precleaning, inspection materials, component temperature and lighting during the examination.
Acceptance standards and reporting requirements are included in the procedure also.
!
!
Procedure ISI-88, for the remote visual examination of the reactor vessel internals, specifies the equipment and lighting required to perform the examination. The procedure also identifies areas to be in-
,
I spected and defines reportable conditions. The procedure delineates l
examination parameters and provides identification of areas to be examined which are consistent with the code requirements.

-5, Procedure. 00000-ESS-057, the Laplementing procedure for the
'
eddy current examination of the steam generator tubes, i
specifi,es that a two channel storage display oscilloscope and a two channel modulating magnetic tape recorder be used to l
perform the examination and to record data for evaluation.
Prior to beginning the examination the procedure requires the
!
equipment to'be calibrated using a length of tubing the same
,
diameter, wall thickness and material as that being examined.
The calibration standard is designed with artificial defects machined,in the inside,and outside surfaces.
A cognizant licensee representative apprised the inspector that minor modifications were to be made to the calibration standard prior to its use.
The modification will not affect the implementing procedure as written.
However, the change will be incorporated in the procedure by revision.
All implementing NDE precedures used to perform ISI examinations were approved by the licensee in accordance with the site Quality Assurance Manual.
The scope and technical content of procedures audited provide adequate instructions to conduct sufficiently sensitive examina-tions to detect discontinuities described in the Code.
The inspector's audit of the above implementing NDE procedures, associated with the ISI Program, indicated that the ISI Program,
-
as being implemented meets the taquirements of Section XI, of the ASME Code.
b.
NDE Test Personnel Qualification Records The inspector audited the qualification records of the examination contractor's personnel involved with the 1976 ISI examinations.
Records of personnel qualified in each discipline of NDE employed and levels of qualification described in SNT-TC-1A were audited.
The audit included records such as formal training,t,3cb experience and physical examination reports.
The records audited indicated that une requirements of SNT-TC-1A (governing standard) had been met.
.
c.
NDE In Process The inspector observed the ultrasonic examination of the reactor
,
,
pressure vessel (RPV) closure studs and nuts.
Procedure ISI-15 revision 6 was the implementing procedure in use.
The inspector's observations included initial equipment calibration, examination
-
of stude and nuts, periodic equipment calibration checks and record-
,
'
ing of examination data.

The inspector found that procedural requirements were being complied with.
The inspector examined the liquid penetrant examination results which were performed on the integrally welded reactor coolant pump supports in loop 21.
The results indicated that procedural requirements were met.
The inspector monitored the recording of preliminary results of the above visual, surface and volumetric examinations.
The preliminary data was being recorded in accordance with the procedural requirements applicable to the examination being
,
conducted.
-
.
The inspector noted thats all visual examinations scheduled for
the reactor vessel internals had not been completed as specified
'
in Procedure ISI-88. The licensee representative said that water clarity was such that it precluded obtaining meaningful results.
This matter was reviewed with NRR and it was determined that the
!
scope of the ISI Program as being conducted by the licensee was consistent with the Technical' Specification requirements.
Based on the above determination the inspector has no further question regarding this matter.
