SUMMARY OF FINDINGS , I.

Enforcement Items Certain items appear to be in noncompliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, ' " Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," as indicated below.

This apparent noncompliance , is considered to be of the infraction category.

- . Infractions 75-12-Al (II) Control of Special Processes [ Criterion IX of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 as implemented by commitments in the FSAR, Section 1.7.6, requires that special processes such as nondestructive testing be ' accomplished by written procedures.

Contrary to these requirements, procedures for data recording appear inadequate in that calibration data for nondestructive test equipment is not always directly ['~'N traceable to the tests performed on a specific date.

( _ ) This is evidenced by failure of procedures to require recording of calibration time and lack of correlation between calibration data sheet dates and corresponding test data sheet dates.

(Details III, paragraph 5) This infraction had the potential for causing or contributing to an occurrence with safety significance.

II.

Licensee Action on Previously Identified Enforcement Items There were no previously identified enforcement items.

III. New Unresolved Items 75-12/1 Hanger and Support Documentation Documentation and control of deviations to hanger and support installations is not clearly defined.

The licensee agreed to revise FPC-W48 to reflect existing methods of hanger support installation.

Out-of-Core Nuclear Instrument Tube Coating , , A potential problem with the subject coating was identified and i i discussed by the inspector during a previous inspection (Ref.

IE:II Report 50-302/75-7).

During this inspection the staff agreed to study the characteristics of the coating material then subjected to a high radiation field. A letter from the A-E Responsible Engineer (GAI letter dated 8/13/75 signed R. S. Faust, Mechanical Engineer) examined at the site revealed that the subject coating, known by the trade name of "Placite," had been j tested and qualified to the provisions of ANSI Standard N101.2/1972.

' l The CRDM's were installed in accordance with BWCC Procedure No.

l' 077, entitled, " Procedure for Installation of CRDM Motor Tubes.'_' l BW-077.is a sequential procedure with QC signoffs at predetermined line' items.

The master copy of this procedure was examined and

appeared complete.

BWCC contacted Diamond Power-Specialty Corporation ' (DPSC) and obtained instructions to retorque these nuts.

Verbal instructions were given to the technicians to check each thrust bearing retaining nut on the balance of units.

There were no other l instances of loose retainer nuts.

The licensee has a TWX from DPSC - stating that a detailed review of the consequences of the thrust i bearing retainer nut being loose during operation and concludes , ,

that this very unlikely event would not preclude safety related . - functions of the CRDM's.

' , The inspector examined the CRDM motor tubes after installation and the measures taken to protect and maintain cleanliness. Within the i

1-areas inspected, there were no items of noncompliance identified.

.

3.

Pressurizer Relief Valves The pressurizar relief valves were temporarily installed to facilitate ' fitup of discharge piping.

After which, they were placed in storage.

The inspector examined the valves in storage and the periodic inspection signoffs. There were no items of noncompliance noted, ' ' i ', Final installation of these valves will be done in accordan,a with procedure BWCC-081.

Examination of this procedure disclosed no itema of noncompliance.

~ i 4.

Steam Generator and Pressurizer Cleaning ,

The steam generators and pressurizer were cleaned prior to turnover

in accordance with BWCC-084, entitled " Hand Cleaning of Reactor . Coolant System." However, additional work such as baseline inspec-l tion has resulted in certain areas being less than acceptable.

These areas will be recleaned to level B' cleanliness as defined by

' Field Specification FS-II-2.

I 5.

Piping Supports The inspector reviewed procedure FPC-W-48 which was written by JAJ

i and approved by FPC. This procedure defines the scope of QC

! inspection for installation of hangers, guides, sway braces and

, I restraints.

Test Data Audit , The inspector-reviewed the-PSI status. report and selected the pres-surizer as a component for. audit.

The pressurizer PSI was essentially , complete and the test data with associated calibration records had , been reviewed and' accepted by.B&W personnel.

The data had been sub- . mitted to FPC as package Q-38-10.

, The PSI. requirements for the' pressurizer are delineated in Item 2.0, . Section 2.0 af thc-PSI manual which appears to be in conformance with the FSAR and ASME code.

. . Examination procedures applicable to the pressurizer PSI are: Number Title ' ISI-101 Ultrasonic Examination of Similar Metal Weld Seams and Attachment Welds ISI-102 Ultrasonic-Examination of the Base Metal Areas Bordering Welded Seams and Base Metal Repairs ISI-104 Ultrasonic Examination of Ligaments Between Threaded Holes and of Studs and Bolts l' Inch and Larger in Diameter . ISI-105 Ultrasonic Examination.of Nuts and Washers ISI-106 Ultrasonic Examination of Full Pene-tration Nozzle Welds from the Outside Surface ISI-110 Ultrasonic Examination of Nozzle Knuckle Area from the outside Surface ISI-350 Visual Examination of Welds and Surface Conditions The ultrasonic examination procedures specify that applicable test i data and calibration data sheets be provided to the customer (licensee) l I as part of the record of examination.

The records of examination are compiled and submitted to FPC in accordance with FPC Procedure Q-38.

The inspector reviewed the test and calibration data sheets for h)' completeness, adequacy, and conformance to requirements and proce- , ' \\ dures. -The inspector noted that in many instances a specific ,, test data sheet was dated at some day other than the date entered l - .. _ _ _

.. . . - . - - - - ,, '

, , - . . IE Rpt. No. 50-302/75-12: III-3 ,

- . onthecorrespondingcalibrationdaE$ sheets.

It thus appears

that the calibration of the ultrasonic system was performed on the day prior-to, or several days prior to, the actual test ' examination.

This lack of traceability-of calibration data-is due to the manner in which test data is recorded. A typical -

weld examination requires a 0, 45 and 60 ultrasonic examination.- The data for each test run, which may occur on , l-successive days, is recorded on the same data sheet and the data sheet - is dated on the day that the entire test is completed. However, a calibration data sheet is prepared for each day that the instru- ', . ment is used to perform examinations on the weld and each cali-bration data sheet is dated on the day the calibration is performed.

[' ' Thus,.the date entered on the calibration sheet does not correlate j with the test data sheet date.

The procedures applicable to the j

nondestructive examination contain detailed step-by-step instructions

with regard to accomplishing the system calibration. However, there is no requirement or instruction related to the recording of calibra-

tion data on ISI Form 3-2.

Thus, there are some inconsistencies in actual recording leading to lack of correlation between calibration dates and actual test performance date as noted above.

Specific , ' examples of the inability to correlate calibration data sheets and-test data sheets are PSI Items 2.1.22, 2.5.10 and 2.7.2.

In addition ) to.the above, the system calibration time: entry on calibration sheet - 1200091 was not entered.

The calibration time entry is required to provide the base for recalibration at periodic intervals as specified ' in paragraph 8.3 of ISI-102 and 9.4 of 1S1-101. The failure to record calibration time and lack of correlation between test data and calibra-tion data sheets appears to be a noncompliance of the infraction category.

Section XI of the ASME Code, paragraph IS - 130 states, in part, that it is a responsibility of the licensee to record all inspection and test results which provide a basis for evaluation, and facili- ! tate comparison with the results from subsequent inspections.

+ l Paragraph 1.7.6.7.1.i of the FSAR states that measures are established to assure that-special processes are performed by ! qualified personnel and documented and accomplished by written procedures and provide for recording evidence of verification.

By failure to follow procedure in proper recording of calibration.

, times,-and inability to correlate calibration dates with test data . due.to lack of specific instructions for preparation of data forms, it appears that the licensee is in noncompliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion IX,' Control of Special Processes, and this j is identified as Infraction 75-12-Al(II). This represents an upgrading of Unresolved Item 75-10/1 as previously reported in

i IE Report 50-302/75-10.

.IE Rpt. No. 50-302/75-12 III-4 . E,' With the exception of the above~ comments, the records appeared to . be complete, calibration block data appeared satisfactcry and trans-ducer data correlated from calibration data sheet to test data sheets.

The inspector noted that B&W personnel were' performing . calibration checks much more frequently than required by procedure.

- The test data sheets audited revealed very few recordable and/or reportable indications in the systems inspected.

', Two reportable indicatic.s have been found, one in a control - rod drive mechanism which was returned to Diamond Power and one in the reactor coolant pipe to steam generator nozzle weld.

, i The inspector reviewed the records for the latter veld, PSI item

4.4.173.

The data sheets appeared satisfactory and resolution is pending a decision by B&W Level III examiner.

This particular weld was selected for reverification which is discussed in paragraph 6.

, > 6.

Reverification FPC has reverified several welds during PSI activities.

This consists of selecting a weld, reviewing the assigned test data, re-examining the weld with a different test crew and comparing the original data with the data obtained on the re-test.

The , reverifications performed to date have characterized the weld on the're-run very close to the original test.

The inspector selected the weld of PSI item 4.4.173, reactor. coolant pipe to steam generator nozzle for reverification. As noted in para- ' graph 5, this weld contains an indication that was reportable.

B&W appointed a test crew with members different from the original test crew to perform an ultrasonic examination of the - weld.

The inspector observed instrument calibration, test conduct of the weld, and compared the reverification data with the original < data.

The reverification exhibited very good repeatability of data, both with regard to magnitude and location of the previously identi-fied reflectors.

The inspector verified equipment calibration dates, l personnel certifications and the calibration block used in the reverification.

7.

Observations of Work The inspector observed nondestructive examinations in progress on piping welds and reactor coolant pump nuts. Each test crew consisted of a Level II and a Level I examiner with objective evidence of certification on file at the site.

Examinations appeared to be , in conformance with applicable procedures.

The inspector had no i further questions.
