Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Pipine - Visual Examination of Welds a.

Visual Examination The inspector visually examined the following completed welds: (1) Residual Heat Removal System welds No. Ell-2298-0W2, No. E11-2298-2W3, No. E11-2298-3W4, No. E11-2298-0W5 and No. Ell-2298-5WO.

(2) Core Spray System welds No. E21-3052-0W2, No. E21-3052-2WO, No. E21-3052-0W3 and No. E21-3052-3WO.

(3) Reactor Water Clean-up System welds No. G33-3096-3W0 and G33-3096-0W3.

It was determined that (a) weld surface finish and appearance were acceptable and there was no evidence of wall thinning due to grinding; (b) arc strikes and weld spatter were not evident; and (c) a ground out area of approximately 4" long and between 1/8" to 1/4" deep is located in the base metal adjacent to weld No. G33-3096-0W3. Upon questioning the licensee and reviewing the record, the inspector established that a linear indication was identified in the base metal adjacent to the weld when liquid penetrant examination was performed on the weld. Subsequently, W&B initiated a Deviction-4-

. . Disposition Request (DDR No. 188) to authorize the repair of the indication in accordance with W&B procedure No. WB-C-110.

Upon reviewing of DDR No. 188, the inspector noted that the DDR was closed out, however, ultrasonic testing to determine the remaining wall thickness was not performed, furthermore, the ground out area was not blended into the surrounding area as required by W6B procedure No. WB-C-110.

This condition represents a noncompliance item identified in Appendix A.

(341/79-08-01) b.

Review of Records The inspector reviewed weld data sheets for the following welds: (1) Residual Heat Removal System welds No. E11-2298-2W3 and No. E11-2298-5WO.

(2) Core Spray System welds No. E21-3052-3WO and No.

E21-3052-2W0.

(3) Reactor Water Clean-up System welds No. G33-3096-3WO and G33-3096-0W3.

It was determined that (a) spec..fied inspections were completed; (b) records are clear and legible; (c) final QA review has not been perf ormed; &nd (d) the signed of f copy of weld data sheet for weld No. E21-3052-3WO was unavailable. A DDR was initiated on this matter. This inspector stated this matter is considered unrevolved pending a review during a subsequent inspection.

(341/79-08-02) Except as noted, no items cf noncompliance or deviatione were identified.
