Mandil, Panoff and Rockwell Associates Mr. F. Sellers 2.

The documentation covering the entire containment ring girder repair work had been assembled into six filing cases.

Many of the documents had been examined by the inspector in previous inspections when repairs were in progress.

The documents included repair procedures and their addenda, specifications, concrete core boring data quality assurance / quality control data sheets, audit repcrts and surveillance reports.

No deficiencies in the documentation were found, except that copies of Deficiency Reports were filcd vhich did not indicate completed resolution. This was corrected during the frapection.

The deficiencies identified in previous inspections which related to the ring girder repair program are now considered resolved.

.

3.

The installati;n of four dome tendons was observed on May 9, 1973.

The work appeared to be in conformance with the procedures.

The QC documentation for each tendons was being maintained, and no deficiencies were observed. The inspector observed the application of casing filler ( N.

to the tendon as it was being pulled in, to provide additional

corrosion protection.

At the time of the inspec_ ion all 166 vertical tendons had been in called, tensioned and filled, and 32 dome tendons had been installed and tensioned.

4.

The inspector observed field buttonheading on two dome tendons.

The work appeared to be in conformance with the procedures; including the use of no - go and eccentricity gages.

QC documentation was being maintained on a random 10% of the " ires per procedure requirement 16101.

Only one type of uspetting die w:.s

'n use at the site, to preclude the possibility of an improper die being used. The specific dimensional requirements for the die to produce a buttonhead seat to conform to the anchor head were nor available at the site.

The licensee agreed to secure this information. This will be carried as an unresolved item.

.

5.

The inspector observed work performed on temporary protection of dome tendons follcwing buttonheading.

Controls were observed in use to exclude moisture from tendons prior to stressing and filler material application.

Rubber-sealed cans were installed against the bearing plates to seal out moisture. The inspector was informed that bulk filling for extended corrosion protection would be performed prior to stressing, on those tendons nearing nine-months since installation.

6.

Vertical tendons V-11 and V-150 were single-end stressed on May 17

-

-

1973.

The procedures were being followed, including dual dial indicator t

gaging of bearing plate displacement.

Stage stressing was employed because of ram length limitations.

Elongations of 11% and 25% in excess of calculated values were observed on the two tendons.

The inspector was told that this tendon elongation, beyond the acceptable 5% excess, was being studied at Inland Ryerson's Chicago Engineering Office.

It had tentatively been determined that the excessive elongation resulted from a combination of tendon untwisting, bearing

'

plate indentation at both ends, and a relatively small difference between the characteristics of the tendon wire used at this facility, and the wire used at other locations.

,

7.

The licensee had stated that strain gage readings and visual examinations would be made in the areas of the ring girder concrete repairs during stressing operations, the integrated leak rate tests, an. at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months following the acceptance test. The inspector observed Brewer Enginaering Company engineers, on May 10-11, 1973 (prior to tendon tensioning) taking initial readings on 28 strain gages (14 hoop and 14 vertical) previously installed on ring beam

'

reinforcing bars.

Also, four designated 6'x12' areas on external vertical ring girder surfaces were whitewashed for crack pattern study.

(

8.

The licensee reported the following construction completion estimates:

v Unit No. 1 was 93% complete as of June 1, 1973, with fuel loading scheduled for February, 1974 Unit No. 2 was 31% complete as of June 1, 1973, with fuel loading scheduled for April, 1976 Unit No. 1 electrical completion status as of June 3, 1973 Conduit installed - 99.4%

Trays installed - 100%

Power Cables installed - 93.5%

C & I Cables installed - 99.4%

Power Cables connected - 77.1%

.

C & I Cables terminated - 87.2%

9.

The licensee reported that silting from the river had recently occurred at the Unit No. I river pump house. The silt had reached the intake screens.

This silting appeared to have been caused by eddy currents in the river resulting from the temporary cofferdams erected during construction of the Unit No. 2 river pu=p house. A dredging company had been contracted to dredge the intake area, and work was in progress during the inspection.

10. The seismic integrity of the fluorescent lighting fixtures located

<

directly above the racks in the battery rooms had been questioned.

The fixtures have now been relocct:d away from the batteries. Thd.s item is resolved.

11. The licensee had provided a vacuur break in the refueling pool fill line to prevent emptying of the p< al' in the event of a power failure.

This item is considered resolved now that there is a vacuum break in the fill line, and the drawing has been changed.

12. Data is being provided regularly by the licensee on the details of construction schedules and project completion.

This item is resolved.

13. The documentation of the reactor pressure vessel nozzle fire and the subsequent cleanup of the resulting chloride contamination was examined by the inspector at previous inspections.

The records included procedures, quality control checklists, chemical analyses and audits. This item is resolved.

,

14. The suspension of the reactor coolant pumps by piping which traversed a 24-foot span had been questioned by the inspector at a previous inspection.

It had subsequently been determined that this suspension, in conjunccion with the hangers and restraints was acceptable. This 7-s item is resolved.

s The tensioning specification permits a mLximum indentation of 0.25 inches, which the inspector stated. appeared to be insufficiently restrictive. None of the indentations to date had exceeded this specificaticn.

The inspector stated that it would appear that the condition of the concrete under the bearing plate having the greatest indentation should be examined. The licensee agreed to consider performing this investigation.

There appeared to be some correlation between the location of the bearing plates with the greatest indentation and the location of the

ring girder concrete repair work, 16. The inspector questioned the number of horizontal tendons which would be tensioned from one end because of interferences at the other end of the tendon.

The licensee stated that previous estimates of the number of these one-end pulls had been high cnd that presently it appeared that there would be 16 one-end pu]ls, plus one tendon which, because of interferences at both ends, could not be tensioned. The latter was still under study by the architect-engineer.

a fire which might occur in one section of the console. At this inspection the fire barriers installed were re-examined and found

,

acceptable. The fire barrier material between the control room and

i the cable spreader room was indicated on the drawings but vculd not i

be installed until cabling in this area was complete. This item is resolved.

20. The inspector stated that several cables had been found to be tightly

tied to the sharp underside edges of cable trays.

The GAI Specification

_

SP-5616, Revised May 76, 1972, page I-20, Paragraph 1.19.9 stated

{

" Cable shall be formed --- to avoid bearing against edges of trays-- ".

'

The licensee stated that this specification referred only to Safeguards cables and that none of the cables observed by the inspector as being

23. The licensee stated that one vertical tendon had beer scrapped to date becausc of an excessive number of defective buttonheads at the field end.

In addition, four vertical tendons had been scrapped due to kinking and dropping during' tendon installation.

24. Information had been requested at a previous inspection as to evidence of loads of concrete having baen dumped as the result of quality control effort at the truck discharge point.

The licensee presented

.

for the inspect r's review a folder of Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory concrete load sheets which showed numerous instances of concrete dumped for various reasons, for example, high slump, high temperature

.

and over-rotation.

These occurred during the periods selected (.

for review, from December 1-21, 1972 and from June 8-15, 1973.

,

25. The inspector had examined a number of plant logs and records of previous inspections, including those of different contractors.

The records had been reviewed from the standpoint of their~ possible inclusion of extraneous, derogatory information and unresolved deficiencies. Some instances of th.ese had been found by the inspector.

The licensee had since developed an audit program covering all site contractors, to control the type of information to be included in plant records. At this inspection a wide variety of logs and records maintained at the site were examined by the inspector, and were found to be accept 2ble.

26. A Deficiency Report which had been closed out on Fby 1,1973 on replaced vertical tendon V-139 noted that the disposition required

a mi. ro-analysis to be performed to e;tablish the cause of excessive buttonheads splitting. The licensee stated that Inland Ryerson's

.

Chicago Office would submit the microanalysis results to the architect-engineer for evaluation. This was delayed in the mails.

This will be carried as an unresolved item.

27. The battery room ventilation is provided by scoarate ducts, and one ventilating fan.

The individual battery rooms are isolable from each other by dampers in the ducts.
