Inservice Inspection (ISI) Activities a.
ISI Program The ISI program.was developed by a testing contractor (Southwest Re-search Institute (SwRI)) and is based on the ASME B&PV Code,Section XI, 1974 Edition including the 1975 Summer Addenda.
Examinations scheduled for the 1980 refueling are the second series of examinations to be conducted in accordance with the updated ISI program and, are the second to be performed during the second 40-month period
,
of the first 10 year interval.
J The following documents were audited by the inspector to determine compliance with the aforementioned Code.

The inspector determined that compositely the above documents meet the prograematic requirements outlined in Section XI of the ASME Code.
No items of ;1oncompliance were identified.

Data Review i
The inspector audited prel.iminary data sheets associated with the volumetric examination of welds in the residual heat recaval (RHR)
system.
Data sheets showing the highest ultrasonic signal amplitudes were selected for this review and included the following specific data sheets.

Discussions with examination personnel and supporting examination documentation indicate that the recorded reflectors were caused by weld reinforcement geometry, and were so recorded.
The implementing procedure was in accordance with applicable Code requirements.
The inspector 'ad no further questions regarding the examination /re-cording of e..aination results of the above welds.
c.
Personnel Qualification Records The inspector audited qualification records of personnel performing NDEs during the current outage.
The records audited identified the discipline in which the individual had been trained and certified.
The physical exam records indicated whether or not visual aids were required when performing examination.

No departure from SNT-TC-1A (the governing document) recommendations were identified, except in one instance.
This involved one examiner employed by Eastern Testing and Inspection, Incorporated.
Records reviewed indicate that this individual is certified to perform radiographic, magnetic particle and liquid penetrant examinations.
Physical examination records show red and green color deficiencies.
The inspector observed that a liquid penetrant examination had been performed by this examiner (Roger Waddell) on June 5, 1980.
However, this had been identified by the licensee's QA audit of contractor activities during the current outage.
This item is considered to be unresolved pending a review of the licensee's disposition of the audit finding (50-277/80-25-01).

Facility Modifications i
Selected activities affecting the quality of the control rod drive (CRD)
hydraulic return line and core spray line modifications were audited by the inspector.
This audit was to ascertain the licensee's compliance
with NRC quality assurance requirements.
The inspector's audit included document reviews and discussions with site personnel involved in material control, welding, nondestructive examination and inspection activities.
.
At the time of this inspection these modifications had been completed and the plant had been placed in operable status.
,
J a.
Design Change Documentation Documentation reviewed by the inspector included those specifications, drawings and instructions which were contained in design change packages established for the respective modifications.
Each package included a copy of the written safety evaluation providing the basis i
and conclusion that the design change did not involve an unreviewed safety question.
Also, each package contained references to the On-site Plant Operations Review Committee's (PORC's) concurrence with the design and safety evaluation.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified by the inspector.
,
b.
Material Control Activities
,
The inspector randomly selected documentation for several components
!
used for the modification.
The documents were audited to ascertain
'
l if documentation was available showing ASME Code approved materials j
had been used.
The specific components included the 4" pipe cap i
used to cap the CRD hydraulic return line nozzle on the reactor
'
vessel.
They included the partial data reports, nondestructive

examination reports of tne pipe supplier (Texas Ptpe Bending) and certification of compliance for pipe spools used in the core spray system.
The li:ensee's documentation for these components was audited and the inspector found that appropriate certifications for the pipe, pipe cap and fittings were available and that associated material release forms documented that the components met Code requirements.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified by the inspector.
c.
Inspection Activities The inspector found that an inspection program had b'een promulgated for the pipe weiding and related nondestructive examinations.
Checks had been made by QC inspectors to verify the procedure used, welder identity, material used, fit-up, rcot pass inspection, control of interpass temperature and nondestructive examination of completed
'
Documentation of these activities indicated that the requirements of the facility Technical Specifications (TS) had been met. Also, the documents showed that the required inservica inspection (ISI)
delineated in the TS had been performed.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified by the inspector.
4.
Unresolved Item (s)
Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required in order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, items of noncompliance or deviations.
