'nservice Inspection - Review of Procedures The inspector reviewed the ISI procedures indicated below to determine whether the procedures were consistent wi,th regulatory requirements and licensee committments.
See paragraph 5 above for the applicable code.
a ~
The following procedures were reviewed in the areas of procedures approval and requirements for qualification of NDE personnel:
(1)
SwRI NDT-600-3-52,
"Manual Ultrasonic Examination of Pressure Piping Welds" (2)
SwRI NDT-600-6-20,

SwRI NDT-300-2-25, "Florescent Magnetic Particle Examination" (5)
SwRI NDT-600-15-39,
"Manual Ultrasonic Examination'of Pressure Vessel Welds" b.
In addition to the above review, procedure NDT-600-15-39 was reviewed in the areas of compilation of required records and procedure technical content relative to:
type of apparatus, extent of coverage including beam angles and scanning techniques, calibration requirements, search
-5-units, DAC curves,.reference level for monitoring discontinuities, method of demonstrating penetration, levels for evaluation and recording indications, and acceptance standards.
c ~
In addition to the review of paragraph a., procedure NDT-200-1-42 was reviewed in the areas of compilation of required records and technical content relative to:
method consistent with ASME code., specification of brand names of penetrant materials, specification of limits for sulfur and total halogens for materials, pre-examination surface preparation, minimum drying time following surface cleaning, penetrant application and penetration time, temperature requirements, solvent removal, method of surface drying, type of developer and method of application, examination technique, technique for evaluation, accep-tance standards, and requalification requirements.
d.
In addition to the review of paragraph a, procedure NDT-300-2-25 was reviewed in the areas of compilation of required records and technical content relative to:
examination method, suspension medium and com-ponent surface temperature, viewing conditions, examination overlap and directions, pole spacing, and acceptance criteria.
Within the areas inspected, no items'f noncompliance or deviation were identifi'ed.
'nservice Inspection - Observation of Work and Work Activities The inspector observed the ISI activities described below to determine whether these activities were being performed in accordance with regulatory requirements and licensee procedures.
See paragraph 5 above for the appli-cable code.

Personnel qualification records for one level I, one level II and one level III (FPM,) examiner were reviewed.
During review of the FPGL level III examiner's records, the inspector found that the time from his last eye examination (3/22/80) had exceeded one year.
Paragraph 5.4.3.1 of FPM QI 9 PR/PSL-2 and paragraph 8.2 of ASNT SNT-TC-lA requires that the eye examination be administed yearly.
This matter is considered to be noncompliance with Criteria V of Appendix B to
CFR 50, as implemented by paragraph 17.5.2 of the FSAR and is identified as item 335/80-10-01, Failure of NDE examiner to meet eye examination requirements.
An immediate eye examination revealed that the examiner's vision had not changed since his last examination.
Based on this fact and the minimal safety significance, this item is categorized as a deficienc b.
In-process ultrasonic (UT) inspection, including calibration on the applicable calibration blocks and review of associated in-process data sheets, was observed for the following welds or components:
Closure Head Meridional Weld - RPV-C.H.-209-03D:

IEB 79-13, Cracking in Feedwater System Piping During the current outage, the licensee re-radiographed the feedwater lines for a distance of 1 pipe diameter downstream from the auxiliary feedwater tie-in.
The original radiographs, from radiography performed during a previous outage, did not meet density requirements.
The inspector reviewed the new radiographs.
All inspections required by the bu1letin have been completed.
The bulletin remains open pending receipt of the final report from the licensee.
Within the areas inspected, no items of noncompliance or deviation were identified.
