GENERAL j

FPC (Rodgers) stated that Unit 3 is estimated at 31% complete and tha criticality was now scheduled for July 14, 1973, and commercial operation to commence on September 14, 1973 Erection of the containment liner has been completed to the

'

spring line and the dome plates are being welded into section i

on the ground.

Placement of reinforcing steel and concrete continues in the auxiliary building, turbine building, and

,

reactor building.

The reactor vessel has been received onsite and unloaded from the barge.

/N The Power Engineering and Construction under Rodgers, t

\\

Assistant Vice President, had been reorganized into Generation d

Engineering and Construction consisting of the following five departments:

Generation Construction - H. L. Bennett, Director Generation Services - R. B. McKnight, Manager

been made assistant to the Vice President of Research and

'

Planning.

B&W Construction Company's project manager, L. Watson,

'I project engineer, T. Richard 3on, and quality control engineer, J. McGill, are onsite full-time and have assumed

)

all of their receiving and inspection functions from J. A. Jones Company.

REACTOR. VESSEL The reactor vessel was received onsite on July 7, 1971, suul

'

was unloaded by B&W Construction Company.

The vessel is stored on the modified Manitowoc Model 4600 crawlers that offloaded it from the barge.

No special storage protection is required because the vessel was protected for intra-coastal waterway shipment.

The B&W receiving report states that there were no unsatisfactory conditions or causes for

!

rejection.

v DETAILS OF SUBJECTS DISCUSSED IN SECTION I i

1.

NUCLEAR SERVICE HEAT EXCHANGER

'A letter from SW-Qulfport Inc. (E. M. Miller) to FPC

'

(J. E. Dawson) dated June 1,1971, stated that the nuclear service heat exchanger's shell longitudinal seam had not

'

'

been radiographed as required by the specification.

The reason given was the longitudinal pass plate served as a

"

backing bar for the welding of the longitudinal seam making the butt joint unradiographical.

The letter stated it was agreed that etched coupons of runout tabs of the weld would be used in lieu of radiographs.

The etched samples are at Crystal River.

FPC did not have

'

drawings of the heat exchanger onsite but agreed to make them available to the inspector on his next inspection.

2.

CONTAINMENT TENDONS The fabricated tendons to be supplied by Prescon Corporation are required to be greased prior to shipment.

The specification requires each individual wire in a tendon to be greased independently.

Prescon is studying a method of greasing the wires and is being assisted by FPC; however, the method has"not been formally resolved.

Prescon has reviewed the

'

possible problem of the pulling grigpers slipping off the pregreased tendons and has stated they do not anticipate any greater precentage of the grippers slipping off of the pregreased tendons than those coated with their rust inhibitor.

CLASS I PIPING - FABRICATED BY M. W. KELLOGG COMPANY r

inspector's observation.

A total of 36 spool pieces had been quarantined as of July 12, 1971, which represents a l

rejection rate of approximately 15%.

MWK and GAI shop inspectors were onsite the latter part of June and both agreed that some of the welds were questionable as to their meeting the applicable code requirements.

FPC stated that the last two shipments of pipe fabrication received had been originally rejected by the GAI inspector and were reworked and seem to be of better quality.

4.

MAIN COOLANT PUMP MOTOR FLYWHEEL The main coolant pump was supplied by B&W as part of their NSSS package.

They are to supply a procedure for the ultrasonic testing of the motor flywheels and they will have the procedure reviewed by their consultant.

After the procedure is approved by the consultant and FPC, it

,

will be made available to the inspector for audit, e

ADDITIONAL SUBJECTS INSPECTED NOT IDENTIFIED IN SECTION I, WHERE NO DEFICIENCIES OR UNRESOLVED ITEMS WERE FOUND

l 1.

GENERAL

-

Since the E/I work completed or in process at the time of

this inspection was not of prime importance to Compliance, the work procedures developed to regulate this effort

$

are considered adequate.

!

l Serious staffing efforts have not started for the E/I QC group.

Discussions with FPC site QC engineer (Pedrick)

i indicate that some basic decisions still need to be made

in this regard.

For the present effort, the site QC group is adequate.

m DETAILS OF SUBJECTS DISCUSSED IN SECTION I 2.

The QA/QC program planning effort has been escalated since the last inspection with greater detail and more meaningful results.

Although the program of procedure development is admittedly far from complete, some of the previously-prepared sketching procedures have been

'

revised and/or z ewritten entirely and new procedures are in the early development stage.

'

One work procedure, presented to the inspector for review l

that Hobb; stated would be the format for all such procedures,

!

was FPC-W30.

This draft' procedure was being circulated for

!

comment and approval and dealt with receiving, handling, i

j installing and testing penetration assemblies.-

Other work procedures recently revised include FPC-W16 and FPC-W24.

FPC-W32 for overall control of cables is in the predraft stage and will constitute a major milestone

when successfully completed.

The meeting in the St. Petersburg FPC office was selected as an opportune time to expound on the merit of

,

.

preplanning for such work as the E/I installation at Crystal River.

Genuine pr;blems plagueing the industry

!

were discussed (without specific project reference) as cases in point that could have been avoided by good

'

planning.

i The FPC vice president, present at the meeting, agreed with the inspector's st.atements and stated that they had i
