(Open) Unresolved Item 364/80-20-01: " Reflect or Designs in UT Calibration Blocks." This' item pertains to the use of calibration Alocks with side drilled hdies for UT of pipe welds as requirFd by the'1974 editioni S75 addenda of_ASME Sec-tion XI versus use pf blotks with notches as required by the 1977 edition, Sf8 addenda of Sectioif XI.
The ' PSI was performcd using notches.
The inspector reviewed a' draft of an FSAR revision which details
'
the use of notches for calibratien. 'T1e licensee also ag'eed to include the r
use of calibration notches for pipe ' welds in the' PSI report, which is currently undergoing revismion of the finsl report to resolve minor errors, typos and omissions.

Inservice Inspection - Review of Procedures (Unit 1)
The inspector reviewed the ISI procedures indicate below to determine whether the procedures were consistent with regulatory requirements and licensee commitments.
The applicable code for the ISI is the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, 1974 edition with addenda through the summer of 1975.
NDE procedures for the areas of examination listed below were examined to determine whether the procedures were consistent with licensee Technical Specification commitments and specified the examination category, method of examination, and the extent of examination:
(1) Category B-J: Pressure Retaining Welds in Piping (2) Cagegory B-G-2: Pressure Retaining Bolting Smaller Than 2" (3) Category C-A: Pressure Retaining Welds in Pressure Vessels (4) Category C-C:
Integrally Welded Support Attachments to Vessels This review was relative to Period 2, Outage 1,1981 inspections.
Within the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.
8.
Inservice Inspection - Data Review and Evaluation (Unit 1)
The inspector reviewed the ISI NDE records described below for the current (Period 2, Outage 1, 1981) outage. See paragraph 7 above fr r the applicable code.
Records for the reactor vessel closure head welds, pressurizer welds, main steam pipe welds, and valve bolting were reviewed to ascertain whether the records contain or provide reference to:
a.
Examination results and data sheets b.
Examination equipment data c.
Calibration data sheets d.
Examination evaluation data e.
Records of extent of examination f.
Records on deviation from program and procedures g.
Records on disposition of findings h.
Identification of NDE materials Within the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.

Racks have been ordered for Units 1 and 2.
Installation of racks is scheduled to begin in June, 1982 for Unit 2.
Unit 1 racks are scheduled to be shipped beginning in November, 1982.
The inspector questioned the licensee relative to receipt inspection, storage, and installation proce-dures. These procedures are in preparation and were expected to be issued prior to their need.
No violations or deviations were identified in the areas inspected.
10. Welding - Maintenance (Units 1 & 2)
The inspector examined the licensee's welding practices as indicated below relative to maintenance.velding to determine whether these activities were in conformance with regulatory requirements and applicable industry codes.
The codes involved in this welding are various depending on the component being welded. The applicable control documents are as follows:
Specification SS-1109-2, revision 31, " Installation of Shop Fabricated Piping and Hangers and Furnishing of Field Fabricated Piping and Hangers and Installation of Field Fabricated Piping and Hangers for Nuclear Service"
" Weld Specification APC0 Nuclear," revision 0 FNP-0-AP-12, revision 2.
" Cont,.1 of Special P roc e',s e s During Operation" a.
WPS's 1.01N and 8.22N including supporting procedure qualification records were reviewed in the areas of:
(1) Welding variables as required by ASME Section IX (2) Material characteristics as required by ASME Section IX (3) Mechanical testing of qualification assemblies as required by ASME Section IX b.
Welder qualification records for two welders were reviewed to determine conformance with ASME Section IX and licensee established requirements.
c.
During the above review, the inspector identified the following problems:
(1) Neither of the WPS's clearly covered nonessential variable QW410.5, method of interpass cleaning as required by ASME Section IX.
(2) WPS 1.01N, which covers P1 rnaterials 3/16" - 41" in thickness was s
not qualified for impact tested materials. This restriction was not included in the WPS or other control document,
,
..
(3) The procedure qualification record (8024) for the thicker portion of WPS 1.01N, a SMA process procedure, was for a 2h" thick combi-nation GTA/SMA process test assemblys The record did not identify what portion of the weld was GTA and what portion was SMA. With-out this information, it is impossible to determine the thickness of SMA process qualified.
(4) Procedure FNP-0-AP-12 referenced the APC0 " Welding Manual" for welding.
A document by this title was not available.
Site personnel stated that this document was the same as the "APC0 Nuclear Welding Specification."
(5) The "APC0 Nuclear Welding Specification" referenced "APC0 Welder Qualification Specification" for weldcr qualification.
This document is actually part of the " Construction Welding Manual" and not part of Operations Welding Manual.
At the time these problems were identified, the licensee was in the process of complete revision of the sit'e welding program. Many of the problems noted above had been identified by the licensee. The purpose of the revision to the program was to update and remove errors and inconsistencies such as noted above.
In addition, the licensee stated that the small number of repair or modifications of any significance re juired for safety related equipment had been accomplished under the Construction Welding Program. Therefore, the welding progran will be reviewed again after the new revision is issued.
This item is identified as inspector followup item numbers 348/82-11-01 and 364/82-10-01: " Revision to Welding Maintenance Program."
Within the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.
11.
Nondestructive Examination (Units 1 & 2)
The inspector examined the licensee's nondestructive examination (NDE)
,
practices as indicated below relative to maintenance welding to determine whether the activities were in conformance with regulatory requirements and applicable i ndustry codes.
The codes involved in this NDE are various depending on the component being welded.
NDE is performed on a contract basis by DAVCON Corporation.
a.
The inspector reviewed the personnel qualification records for two Level II examiners.
b.
The inspector reviewed DAVCON liquid penetrant (PT) procedure NDE-7.3, revision 1A, " Liquid Penetrant Visible Dye Solvent Removable" to determine whether the procedure had been reviewed and approved consistent with licensee established procedures.
In addition, the procedure was reviewed for technical adequacy in the areas of:
y m
..
(1) Method consistent with ASME code (2)
Specification of brand names of penetrant materials (3) Specification of limits for sulfur and total halogens for materials (4) Pre-examination surface preparation (5) Minimum drying time following surface cleaning (6) Penetrant application and penetration time (7) Temperature requirements (8)
Solvent removal (9) Method of surface drying (10) Type of developer and method of application (11)
Examination technique (12) Technique for evaluation (13) Acceptance standards During review of this procedure, the inspector noted that the PT procedure did not specify the brand names of materials.
However, a licensee administrative procedure does limit tne materials to a particular brand.
In addition, the procedure does not specifically state a temperature range. The ASME Code does not specifically state that the temperature range be specified in the procedure, but does specify that the procedure be requalified if used outside the range of 60 F-125 F.
The licensee and NDE contractor agreed that the brand names of penetrant materials and the temperature range should be added to the procedure for clarity.
This will be identified as inspector followup item numbers 348/82-11-02 and 364/82-10-02:
" Revision to DAVCON PT Procedure."
c.
The inspector reviewed DAVCON magnetic particle (MT) procedure NDE-7.4, revision 1, " Magnetic Particle Dry Powder Continuous" to determine whether the procedure had been reviewed and approved consistent with licensee established procedures.
In addition, the procedure was reviewed for technical adequacy in the areas of:
(1) Examination method (2) Contrast of dry powder particle color with background and surface temperature (3) Examination overlap and directions (4)
Pole or prod spacing (5) Current or lif ting power (yoke)
(6) Acceptance Criteria Within the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.
