Exit Interview On March 14 and March 28, 1980, the inspector met with the licensee repre-sentatives noted in paragraph 1 above and summarized the scope and findings of the inspection of inservice inspection activities and maintenance welding.
The noncompliances of paragraphs 5.a and 8.b were discussed.
The reporta-bility of the Liquid Penetrant (LP) indication noted in paragraph 7.c was discussed and the licensee stated that if it was determined that the indica-tion encroached upon minimum wall, it would be reported.
It was further stated that the indication would be included in the ISI repor __

Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Unresolved Item, 366/78-10-01, UT indication in closure head flange weld. The indication is acceptable to the edition of Section XI the site is now working to.
When the site upgrades to later editions to Section XI (1977), the indication would require fracture analysis. The fracture analysis has been conducted with acceptable results.
4.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspection.
5.
Inservice Inspection - Review of Program (Unit 2)
The inspector reviewed the licensee's inservice inspection (ISI) program in the areas indicated below. The requirements for ISI are specified in the Hatch 2 FSAR, paragraph 5.2.8.
In accordance with these requirements, the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, 1974 Edition and addenda through the summer of 1975 is being used for ISI.
The inspector reviewed the ISI program for the current outage to a.
determine whether the program had been approved by the licensee.
Paragraph F of revision 1 to Hatch Plant Procedure HNP-904 requires in part that, "...a written document by SwRI detailing the proposed work to be done...will be reviewed and approved prior to the outage date."
Contrary to this requirement the ISI was in process and the SwRI Project Plan had not been approved by the licensee.
This is considered to be noncompliance with Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, as implemented by paragraph 17.2.5 of the Hatch 2 FSAR, and is identified as item number 366/80-13-01, Failure to Approve ISI Plan. Discussion with responsible licensee personnel revealed that the plan had been reviewed and SwRI given permission to start work. Formal approval of the plan was simply overlooked.
Based on the fact that the plan had been reviewed by the licensee, review of the plan by the inspector revealed an accarate plan, and the plan was approved during the inspec-tion when brought to the attention of the licensee, this item is categorized as a deficiency.
b.
The inspector reviewed the following Georgia Power Company and SwRI documents relative to the ISI program:
SwRI " Project Plan for the 1980 Inservice Examination of Edwin I.
Hatch Nuclear Plant, Unit 2" SwRI Nuclear Operating Procedure (NPOP) X-FE-101-0, "Onsite NDE Records Control" SwRI NPOP XVII-AG-101-0, " Data Storage and Retrieval" SwRI NPOP IX-FE-105-0, " Recording Data from Direct Visual, Liquid Penetrant, and Magnetic Particle Examination of Welds"

The QC department reviews all MR's and provides Weld Process Sheets as needed. The Weld Process Sheets provide welding and inspection require-ments for each weld. The inspector reviewed the following procedures which control the welding program through the use of MR's and Weld Process Sheets:
HN:
s, Revision 13, " Maintenance Request (MR)"
HNP-809, Revision 6, " Plant Modification, Approval and Implemen-tation HNP-821, Revision 5, " Quality Control Work Inspection" HNP-824, Revision 3, " Control of Special Procesues" HNP-6904, Revision 3, " Maintenance Welding" HNP-6915, Revision 2, " Weld Process Sheets" b.
Records The inspector reviewed the in process welding and inspection records for MR number 2-79-2816 which covered modification to the Control Rod Drive system for Unit 2.
The inspector also reviewed personnel quali-fication records for inspection personnel who inspected the welding associated with this modification. This review revealed that the inspectors were furnished by Butler Services and. certified by Daniel Construction Jompany and/or Alabama Power Company. There were no records to show certification by Georgia Power Company. According to paragraph B.I.d(2) of HNP procedure HNP-824, " Control of Special Processes" and HNP NDE procedures, " Personnel performing nondestruc-a tive testing shall be certified in accordance with HNP-823 and SNT-TC-1A."
Certification by a previous employer does not meet HNP procedure HNP-824 nor paragraph 9 and 10 of SNT-TC-1A. This matter is considered to be noncompliance with Criterion V of 10 CFR 50, as implemented by paragraph 17.2.5 of the Hatch 2 FSAR; is identified as item number 366/80-13-02, Failure to certify welding and NDE inspactors; and is categorized as an infraction.
