A. R. Herdt, Section Chief, RCES Branch Date Signed SUMMARY Inspection on June 17-20, 1980 Areas Inspectec This routine, unannounced inspection involved 28 inspector-hours on site in the areas of pipe support baseplate designs using concrete expansion anchor bolts (IEB 79-02); and seismic analysis for as-built safety-related piping systems (IEB 79-14).

Results Of the two areas inspected, three items of noncompliance were found in two areas (Deficiency -Documentation of IEB 79-14 Inspections, Paragraph 6, Deficiency -

Hanger Modification Procedures, Paragraph 6 and Infraction - Control and Calibra-tion of Torque Wrench Multipliers, Paragraph 5).

Exit Interview The-inspection scope and findings were summarized on June 20, 1980 with l-those. ' persons indicated in Paragraph I above.

The' noncompliances were-

discussed with the licensee.

The licensee ~ disagreed with infraction j

- 348/80-16-02, 364/80-19-01 and. part of deficiency 364/80-19_-02 concerning the recording of QC-inspection findings and the calibration of torque wrench multipliers.

SI-R67 and CVCS-A21 were previously reported as not being repaired in accordance with their respective repair notices and consequent engineering review of' the changes were not reflected on the records. A review of the records now shows proper documentation of engineering review and support repairs.. Licensee inspection and testing of Unit 2 service water system support 2SW-R0119 had just been. completed. During a ' reinspection of the support and its records, it was noted that a 4 to 1 torque wrench multiplier had been used for inspecting and testing the support. The torque wrench multiplier was not a controlled tool and had neither been checked nor calibrated. The licensee indicated that no procedure requirements exists for checking or calibrating torque wrench multipliers. Upon the NRC inspec-tor's request, a 4 to I torque wrench multiplier was checked for accuracy by the licensee. The check showed that the 4 to 1 multiplier provided approximately 12% less torque than the theoretical quadrupled torque value.

This appears to be in noncompliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion l

XII and shall be identified as infraction 348/80-16-02 and 364/80-19-01 -

Control and calibration of torque wrench multipliers. Unit 2 gang hanger SS 10374, which supported a service water pipe, was being repaired. Unit 2 waste processing piping hanger 2-WP-R190 was also being repaired. Repairs and records for both hangers were inspected for compliance with IEB 79-02 requirements and licensee commitments. -The inspector had no questions regarding the two hangers noted above.

Pending licensee completion of IEB 79-02 requirements and licensee commit-ments on both Units 1 and 2, IEB 79-02 shall remain open. No other items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

Seismic Analysis for As-Built Safety-Related Piping Systems (IE Bulletin 79-14)

Records for the repair of Unit I chemical and volume Control system support i

CVC-R254 were inspected. The repair instruction provided on Construction Work Request (CWR) No. 1-80-9110 required the modification of the hanger to suit production change notice (PCN) 79-409012 Rev. 337. The PCN required the installation f of an additional base plate and four concrete expansion anchors. The CWR required the-installation and inspection to be in accor-

'

dance with QC Procedure 5.4.2.1 Addendum 1.

This procedure does not provide sufficient inspections and tests to comply with IEB 79-02 requirements.

The records for the support however provides inspection and test data from FNP-1-G-MP-43 Appendix "D" which was developed for IEB 79-02. Discussions l

J with the personnel involved indicate that the requirements of FNP-1-GMP-43 were used for the installation, inspection and test but since the procedure was for repairs and not modifications, the record for the support did not

~

reflect this.

This failure to document the required procedure and the procedure used appears ' to be in noncompliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, l

Criterion V and shall be identified as Deficiency 348/ 80-16-01 " Hanger

'

Modification Procedures".

to verify compliance with IEB 79-14 requirements and licensee commitments.

It-was noted that a "3/4" diameter plug connected to the piping was in contact with reactor make-up water piping shown 'on drawing SK-P12-CV-209.

The records for the walkdown of both packages did not report this condition.

FNP QCP 4.01 paragraph 3.0 requires that inspection parameters required by the designer for stress analysis will be identified in the inspection packages and shall be measured and corrected. Contrary to the above inter-ference or conditions had - not been identified on the inspection package.

This appears to be in noncompliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix "B" Criterion V and shall be identified as an example for deficiency 348/80-19-02, "Docu-mentation of IEB 79-14 inspections". Unit 2 safety injection system piping hanger 2SI-R310 had been inspected.

The QC supervisor noted on a memo tablet sheet that. a base plate material acceptability could not be determined since the material was not traceable. Although the item was noted on a sheet of paper, this was not recorded by QC on a hanger discrepancy and correction report. Discussion with licensee and contractor personnel indicate that this was common practice. FQC 5.4.2.1 addenda 1 paragraph 5.1.2.2 requires discrepancies tv be reported on a hanger discrepancy and correction report. This failure to follow procedure appears to be in noncompliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B Criterion V and shall be identified as a second example for deficiency 364/80-19-02, " Documentation of IEB 79-14 inspections".

Pending completion of IEB 79-14 requirements and licensee commitments, IEB 79-14 shall remain open.
