Inspection Areas
1.
Site Tours
->
.
At periodic intervals generalized tours of the facility were per-formed by the Resident Inspector. These tours covered essentially all areas of the site. The tours were intended to assess the cleanliness of the site; construction activities in progress; storage condition of equipment and piping used in site construction; and the potential for fire or other hazards which might have a
,
dilaterious affect on personnel and equipment.
It was noted during these tours that temporary lay down areas for safety related piping were starting to deteriorate. This was brough to the licensee's attention and immediate steps were taken to upgrade the temporary
-
'
lay down areas.

setting the reactor vessel and steam generator hold down bolts i
has not yet been completely finalized and accepted. However, the licensee indicated that tensioners may be used to establish the required bolting preload.
.
3.
Auxiliary Piping System Field Welding and Fabrication
'
Field fabrication of piping being installed in the Auxiliary building was examined. This included witnessing veld preperation, fit up and welding of piping joints in the decay heat removal and make up feed
.
,
'
systems and other system joints welded in the auxiliary building. It I
