ACTION ON PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED INSPECTION FINDINGS (92702)
(Closed) Violation (298/8917-01): The ISI program failed to identify all applicable supports and welds.
A detailed review of the station isometric drawings and weld maps was performed by the licensee, with the result that additional supports and welds were identified as missing in the program. The omissions, a total of 40 welds and 44 supports, have been added to the ISI program through the issuance of Addenda in July and October 1989. The inspector reviewed the close-out of Nonconformance Report 89-071, which detailed this problem. No additional problems were noted during this review.
3.
ISI-0BSERVATION OF WORK AND WORK ACTIVITIES (73753 and 57080)
The objectives of this inspection were to ascertain whether ISI, in particular ultrasonic examination, and repair and replacement of components were being performed in accordance with Technical Specifications (TS), the applicable American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code, and correspondence between NRC, and the licensee concerning relief requests.
3.1 Review of Program and Procedures
,
The inspector reviewed TS, Amendment 130, dated May 24, 1989; " Inservice Inspection Program for ASME Class 1, 2, and 3 Components," Revision 3, March 3,1986, and its Addenda through October 1989; and the following GE ISI procedures:
MIMSN-W812, " Manual Procedure for Magnetic Particle Examination,"
Revision 1, dated October 30, 1986.
MIUV-W812. " Manual Ultrasonic Testing of RPV Welds," Revision 2, dated i
February 3, 1988.
!
VT-06,"ProcedureforRPVInternalsInvesselVisualInspection(IVVI),"
'
Revision 0, dated February 14, 1989.
No violations or deviations were identified during the review of the ISI i
program and procedures.
i 3.1-Program Implementation The inspector witnessed the performance of the magnetic particle testing (MT)
]
of Weld RBS-CEl-1 on Drawing 30-2614-2; ultrasonic testing (UT) of Reactor Vessel Flange Weld VCB-BC5-2 and Reactor Vessel Nozzle Welds NVIR-BD-N3B, -N3D, and -NSA on Drawing 27; and visual examinations (VT-1) of the Core Spray Piping Loops A and B.
It was noted by the inspector that examination personnel appropriately complied with the examination, calibration, and documentation requirements of the

approved procedures. The use of the correct UT calibration blocks was verified by the-inspector. The inspector also checked the personnel certifications to
verify that. personnel were appropriately qualified for the examinations
'
performed. The equipment used (MT yokes, MT powders, UT search units,
<
,
UT scopes, and UT gels) was found to be appropriately certified and the
,
instruments calibrated as required.
Inspection of repair and replacement
,
activities is documented in NRC Inspection Report 50-298/90-11, which was performed concurrently with this inspection.
No violations or deviations were identified during the review of program
!
implementation.
3.3 Summary
.
ISI work activities were found to be satisfactorily controlled with examination
'
personnel being appropriately qualified and demonstrating compliance with the examination, calibration, and documentation requirements of the ISI procedures.
