Results: In the areas inspected, violations or deviations were not identifie Two Unresolved Items (UNR) were identified concerfing piping system (paragraph 2f) and Hilti anchor bolt (paragraph 2.c) problems. The major concerns are the apparent generic problems that anchor bolt minimum center-to-center distance requirements are not being met and in that load pins and clamp studs threaded sections are within the load bearing area of the struts or si,ubber clamps, t

Piping, and RC Laops 1, 2, and 3 of Low Head Safety Injection & RHR System. The pipe sypports were reinspected with the assistance of a QC inspector and an engineer. The supports were reinspected against their detail drawings for configuration, identification, base plates, fa'stener/

Some. discrepancies / comments, especially the measured Hilti Code leters for anchor bolt length shown on the above list may not be the discrepancies. The licensee's engineer did not provide the inspector the manufacturer's catalog during the inspection to verify that- the anchor bolts were installed as'specified. The licensee's engineer stated that it would take some time to retrieve the documents. The result of discrepancies during this inspection is stated in Paragraph Hilti Anchor Colt Problems Hilti- anchor bolts were used in both units. IEB 79-02 required the licensee to determine the anchor bolt allowable loads based on testing the capacity in the field or using catalog capacity published by the manufacturer if QA document is available. NRC Information Notice Nos. 86-94 and 88-25 requested that licensees who use the Hilti anchor bolts review the allowables used in design calculations since the NRC had found that the field test capacity was 3094 - 40?s below the catalog due to the various concrete mixtures and shorter edge distance requirement The inspector discussed these notices with the licensee engineers. The licensee stated that the field test capacity was used for Hilti anchor bolt allowables to qualify the pipe supports for IEB 79-02. The test results and evaluation were not available for review. The licensee had completed the review of NRC Information Notice No. 86-94 but no documents are available no For NRC Information Notice No. 88-25, the licensee is waiting for the decisions from NRC and the industrial trade group to take an I appropriate resolutio !

The inspector found some discrepancies concerning Hilti anchor bolts as stated in Paragraph 2.b. They are the bolt diameter difference, the extended protrusion, the violation of minimum center to center distance requirements, the edge distance differences from drawings et The licensee should consider the violation of the minimum center to center distance requirements as a potentially generic problem since it involved three support Pending the licensee's eview this item is identified as Unresolved Item (UNR) 50-338, 339/89-04-02, Hilti Anchor Bolt Problem d. Pipe Support Calculation Review ,

Several support design calculations for Unit 2 were reviewe The inspector noticed that a design method based on American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) was used to qualify the expansion anchor bolts for Support Nos. 2-WS-A-3, 2-WS-A-12, and 2-WS-A-23. The AISC method normally is used to qualify bolts or rivets for steel to steel connections. The expansion anchor bolts are different from the AICS bolts or rivets since they involve steel and concrete. The inspector questioned the licensee's engineers whey the AISC design method could be used to qualify the expansion anchor bolt The licensee's engineers replied that the AISC design method used in North Anna was approved by NR The inspector requested the licensee's engineer supply the approval letter out did not receive i The inspector told the licensee engineers that the calculations would be reviewed thoroughly late e.

82-27, 88-29 for Unit 2 were performed for IEB 79-14 to verify and review the procedures, inspection programs, analytical methods, modifications, and documentatio The inspector also performed )

walkdowns in this inspection as stated in Paragraph 2.a and 2.b to verify the licensee performance and commitments on IEB 79-14. The licensee did not submit a final summary report to NRC for review after it completed all analyses, evaluations, and modifications, the licensee should submit a final summary report tc summarize the responses and activities including the procedures, analytical methods, modifications, and documentation to meet the requirements of IEB 79-1 Based on the previous inspection reoorts and this inspection, IEB 79-14 is considered closed except for the open item Finding and Results The above discrepancies found between the field and as-built drawings ;

were discussed with the licensee engineers and QC inspector. The previous inspector also found some discrepancies and main steam line
