Uncontrolled Crinnint Tools

.

During previous inspections lack of procedures for control and calibration of crimping tools and the use of uncontrolled and uncalibrated crimping tools had been identified.

(Inspection Reports 50-320/75-14 and 76-06)

.

The inspec' tor e<amined the following documents:

a.

UE&C Electrical Construction Procedure ECP-3-2, Rev. 16, dated June 7, 1976. Paragraph 4.10.1.1 of this procedure states that crimping tools used in the field shall have an inspection check in accordance with manuf acturer's instructions every two months ;

that Field QC shall be notified in order to verify the 4aspec-tion check if applicable; and that records shall be maintained by the Electric Construction Department (ECD).

b.

UE&C meno dated July 7,1976 from the Electrical Superintendent stating that the AMP tools had been calibrated by the AMP representative and other crimping tools had been calibrated in the field in accordance with the manufacturers requirements; that hand tools had been numbered and issued to assigned electricians; hydraulic tools will be kept in locked boxes and issued as required and that all tools will be calibrated every two months.

UE&C meao dated July 7 from the Electrical Superintendent c.

requi' ting that Area Foremen, Foreman and Journeymen be re-instructed that only those tools issued by the Termination Section are permitted to be used on the site.

.

d.

QC Inspection Report (QCIR) No. E-15358 reporting calibration of three T&B power tools and listing new AMP tools received on site which had been calibrated at the factory prior to shipment.

e.

QCIR Nc. E-15321 reporting a spot check of cri= ping tools in use which verified that all tools checked were in control.

f.

Field Change No. 209 dated July 15, 1976 to Procedure QC-13-2 which provided that crirping tools in use by Start-Up and Test be calibrated every six months.

g.

ECD list of tools showing date of calibration and journeyman to whom each tool was issued.

The inspector was informed by the licensee's representative tFat crimping tools used by Start-Up and Test and the gages used in

-

calibration of all tools were calibrated and stored in the instru-ment shop and issued as required. The inspector observed storage and identification of these tools and gages.

.

This item is resolved.

3.

Outdocr Storage of Electrical Cable Lack of procedural controls for protection of electrical cable in outdoor storage and failure to provide protection for such cable had previously been identified.

(Inspection Reports 50-320/75-13 and 76-08)

The inspector examined DR No. 0614 which identified cable reels which had beer left uncovered for an indeterninate period of time.

Corrective action showed temporary coverings to have been applied as of June 15, 1976 and the Disposition required dielectric and megohm tests to be performed on representative samples of the cable to determine its acceptability.

The inspector observed the condition of the cable in outdoor storage and found several reels including Nos. E 6171, B 4901, X 9798 and E 982 to be uncovered. These reels had been returned to outdoor storage during the week ending July 31, 1976.

However, Procedure ECP-3-2, Kev. 12, requires that the reels be protected without establishing any time period during which they may remain uncovered.

In addition, the tests required by DR No. 0614 have not been performed.

This item remains unresolved pending performance of the required tests and clarification of the require =ents for providing protective covering.

4.

Response Time for Engineerirg Safety System The licensee reported as a possible Significant Deficiency in accord-ance with 10 CFR 50.55(e) that the expected response times for certain Engineered Safety System features appeared to be longer than the required response times. The licensee's representative stated that the expected response times were based on estimated or known equipment responses. The required response times used for the High Pressure Injection, Low Pressure Injection and Reactor Building Cooling Systems were identified in the FSAR.

Other required response times were assumed by the licensee's representative.

Nonconfor=ing Weld Contours

.

The inspector observed three weld joints in the Core Flood Tank 14 inch piping which appeared to be completed but do not meet the USAS B31.7-1969 Nuclear Power Piping Code requirements for weld bead contours. The welds were identified as numbers 2-CF-ll, 2-CF-12.R1 and'2-CF-V4B and are located in the piping connecting the core flood tank and the reactor vessel.

Welds numbered 2-CF-ll and 2-CF-V4B are designated, in the FSAR, as nuclear class 2 and 2-CF-12.R1 is nuclear class 1.

The transition surface between the weld reinforcement and the adjacent component presents an abrupt step rather than merging smoothly as required by the USAS B31.7-1969, paragraphs 1-727.4.2 (c) and (d).

The licensee stated that this conditien had been identified by a GPU auditor but had not been formally documented at the time of this inspection.

He also stated that these weld transition surfaces would be unacceptable for in-service inspection testing and would require additional finishing.

This item is unresolved pend'ng determination of the status of the subject weld joints relative to th'e quality control inspection program (have the welds received final acceptance) and verification that the condition is localized to the core flood piping system.

6.

Nuclear Services Closed Cooling Water System The inspector observed the as installed condition of this system between Pump NS-P-1B and Coolers MU-C-2A and MU-C-2B.

Piping installation was verified to be in accordance with B&R Flow Diagram, Drawing No. 2030, Rev. 21; a7 well as Drawings Nos. 2007, Rev. 15; 2015, Rev. 11; 2027, Rev. 17; and 2030, Rev. 21.

Hangers and restraints were verified to have been installed in accordance with Bergen Paterson Drawings E-141-4, sheets 1 and 2; M. W. Kellog Isometric Drawings Nos. 2-21-18, Rev. D; 2-21-17, Rev. B; 2-21-16, Rev.'A; and 2 21-15, Rev. C as well as detailed hanger sketches.

The inspector observed that inspection of this system had been per-formed in accordance with the appropriate QC pre.cedures for Mechanical Equipment (QC-10-2, Rev. 2), Pipe Support Installation Inspection (QC-10-2, Appendix B), Pipe Welding Con. trol (QC-8-2, Rev. 5) and We'_ ding Control (QC-8A-2, Rev. 2).

Installation of Instrumentation and control Cable a.

Installation of Cable The inspector selected cable pull slips, numbered II 2935C (Rev.1) and 11 2902C (Rev. 2), from records of saf ety-related cablas that had been installed and terminated and had been checked by the quality control activity. He examined the routings of the cables through the cable trays and the cable terminations at the cabinets, and he verifier. that the cables were installed in accordance with the pull siips and the con-structor's Electrical Construction Procedure No. ECP-3-2 (Rev. 16),

titled " Receiving, Storing, Handling and Ins talling Wire and Cable."

No discrepancies were identified.

b.

Control of Cable Reels

.

The inspecto' reviewed the records of cable disbursement frca stored cable reels, and he interviewed the constructor's supervisor of this activity.

Cable inventory was recorded by the super-visor on a copy of drawing 9459-02. titled " Unit #2 Cable."

The record indicated that cable inventory was being currently revised to reflect cable disbursement as the cable-pull slips were returned. The constructor stated that the inventor ~ revisions ware made from the actual cable lengths indicated on the pull slips.

The inspector checked that the inventory revisions for the cables disbursed against pull slips II 2935C and II 2902C were recorded. They were recorded-against Kerice cable-reel numbers C-2243 and A-8274, respectively. These reels corresponded to the cable jacket designations FR-9KK and FR-9FF.

No discrepancies were identified.

Licuid Penetrant Testine Requirements Reference:

Inspection Report 50-320/76-01 The above ref erenced report identified an inconsistency between the requirements of the Burns and Roe (B&R) specification 2555-72,

" Piping and Mechanical Equip =ent and Ins tallation" and the Conam Inspection Procedure LFT-1-NP, Revision III, paragraph VI in that the B&R specification does not allow any indications in the weld crater or the line of fusion whereas the applicable code and Conam Inspection procedure does. The B&R specification previously stated, in part: "All indications in the weld crater or in the line of fusion...shall be treated as defects." This was changed to read:

"The acceptance standards shall be in accordance with the applicable code."

The inspector verified that the Conam Inspection Procedure LPT-1-NP, paragraph VI, " Evaluation of Indications," is consistent with the applicable code, ASME III,1971 edition, paragraph NB-5352.

This item is resolved.

15.

In his response the licensee stated that the orifice plates had been

~

subjected to receiving inspection, that all similar purchase orders

'.

which fall under QA/QC scope had been brought to the attention of and acted on by the CPUSC QA Manager.

.

The inspector examined me=o, TMI-2/2588, dated July 9, 1976 and addressed to the QA Manager. A list of Jersey Central Power &

I.igh t Company (JCP&L) purchase orders under QA/QC scope was attached and listed seventeen orders for valves, electrical and speciality ite=s.

The inspector w.s informed by the QA representative that the orifice plates were on Hold (Tag ho. BR-916) for lack of complete documentation.

However, a number of items shown on the other listed purchase orders had been released to the field prier to receipt of the list. As examples, Relief valves (PD C-0182), Solenoid valves (PO C-0199) and Sigma Indicators (P0 C-Ol70) have all been released without the necessary documentation.

In some cases QA has prepared

" check plans" identifying the required documentation.

The QA Manager stated that all of the items purchcsed under the listed purchast orders, will be tagged " Hold" until the requirements for documentation has been established and the required documents have been received.

This item re=ains unresolved.
