. Inservice Inspection - Review of Program The inspector reviewed the inservice inspection (ISI) program for pipin, and welds submitted to NRC by CP&L letter, Serial No. NO-80-145, dated January 30, 1980, and the licensee's administrative and QA program for the assuring that established examination requirements have been met during ISI activities. The ISI program submitted by letter NO-80-145 states that the weld inspection program shall-be conducted in accordance with the 1974 edition, through the Summer 75 addenda, of the ASME B&PV Code, Section XI except for specific relief requested in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g) (5)(iii).
The Class I weld summary inspection sheets and the relief requests were compared with the requirements.of Tables IWB-2500 and IWB-2600 of ASME Section XI.
This review showed that the following required inspection categories were omitted from the program without request for relief or explanation: B-N-1 Interior of Reactor Vessels B-N-2 Integrally Welded Core - Support structures and Interior Attachments to Reactor Vessels B-K-2 Support Components for Piping, Valves and Pumps B-L-1 Pressure Retaining Welds in Pumps B-M-1 Pressure Retaining Welds in Valve Bodies B-M-2 Valve Bodies In addition the four page list of pressure retaining bolting with B-G-1 IWB-2500 category showing visual inspection as the examination method is in error in either the category or the examination method.
The omissions and errors in the ISI program constitute an item of noncom-pliance with the requirement of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(i) which requires that the program be revised as necessary to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4). This is an infraction identified as item No. 50-324/80-20-01; 50-325/80-23-01 - Inservice Inspection Program Incomplete.
During discussions with the site ISI Coordinator concerning the program omissions it was indicated that the omission of category B-K-2 may not be a serious problem'in that credit could be taken for the technical Specifica-tion required hydraulic snubber inspections and possibly the inspections required by IEB 79-14.
The status of the B-K-2 inspections will be identified as unresolved item 50-324/80-20-02; 50-325/80-23-02, Status of B-K-2 inspections. Because of the omissions in the ISI program the inspector reviewed the administrative and QA/QC controls over these activities. The only reference to ISI inspections, responsibilities or records that this inspector found in the site administrative or QA procedures was in admin-istrative Instruction Al-2, " Collection, Maintenance Control and Storage of Plant Records," Revision'14 dated 3/28/80, as follows: !
e _ __ _ -- _

, r-3- "9.4.2 In-Service Inspection Records Reactor Coolant System In-service Inspection Records include those records resulting from inspection conducted in accordance with Section ' XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
Identification and collection of these records is the responsi-bility. of the QA Supervisor.
In-Service inspection records transferred to the custody of the Administrative Supervisor are maintained in an annual file located in the TSV. In-Service inspection record files are closed out and transferred to the PSV annually.
In-Service inspection records are filed under Section 1800 of the Plant Filing Instructions".
When asked about this paragraph the QA supervisor stated that the identifica-tion and collect 4on of ISI records was no longer his responsibility and had not been for some time; that was the responsibility of the ISI coordinator in Engineering. The QA function was a review of procedures, inspection activities and inspection results for final acceptance by the site.
When asked about procedures for these activities it was admitted that there were (The inspector interviewed the QA/QC inspection personnel involved none.
with these activities and fsund then to be knowledgeable on the subject of ISI requirements.
But witlout procedures there is no assurance that the proper reviews would be conlucted should one or more of these people be replaced).
The QA supervisor recognized the situation and agreed that procedures, where required, for his activities would be issued by June 15, 1980.
The lack of procedures establishing the responsibilities and require-ments for CP&L personnel involved with ISI activities was identified as an item of noncompliance against the technical specification requirements to have procedures for surveillance activities.
This is item no 50-324/ 80-20-03; 50-325/80-23-03, " Surveillance Activity Procedures Not Estab-lished or Implemented".

Maintenance and Contractor Welder Training and Certification The inspector reviewed the qualification requirements for maintenance welders - operations procedure MP-25, and contractor welders - construction procedure WP-503.
These requirements were discussed with the craf t personnel responsible for welder training and certification as well as the respective quality organizations responsible for overseeing the operations. During discussions with the operations maintenance and QA/QC personnel the inspector learned that QC has questioned the adequacy of the training given to welders, and how the requirements. of Training Instruction No. 102 "Related Technical Training and On-the-job Training for Mechanics", are being met.
Along with this the maintenance engineer stated that the training program is being re-written to define the qualification requirements for administering welder tests.
and to establish the mechanism fcr implementing TI-102.
In that these items are being actively pursued by the QA/QC organization this subject will be inspector followup item (IFI) 50-324/80-20-04; 50-325/ 80-23-04 Maintenance Welder Training Program. During the review of the - construction department contractor welding certification program the j L ,
.
-g ., , -4-inspector became concerned when neither the welder qualification foreman nor his supervisor appeared to' know about the WP-503 welder qualification procedure. -A subsequent discussion showed'that they knew the requirements of the procedure and were following it but had become confused by the word procedure - thinking in terms of a welding procedure used by a welder to weld a qualification test piece.
There were' no items of noncompliance or deviations in this area of inspection.

IEB 80-07 Jet Pump Bracket Inspection Results (Unit 2) The inspector reviewed _the licensee's special procedures for the visual and ultrasonic inspection of the jet pump brackets in Unit 2.
The procsdures were as follows: Special Procedure 80-09 - Jet Pump Visual Inspection, Rev. 10,3/22/80 Special Procedure 80-13 - Ultrasnoic Examination of Jet Pump Restrainer Beams, Rev. 0., 4/9/80.
The review was of the final procedures and data packages in the QA vault.
There were no items of noncompliance or deviations inspection.
