Results of Inspection 1.

Containment Liner, CB&I (R0 Inspection Report No. 050-358/74-01)

Site construction documentation prepared by CB&I for the containment building liner was reviewed for compliance to the CB&I QA manual.

Equipment Hatch Assembly No. 260A was included in one of the areas l

reviewed. During the review of nonconformance reports for this assembly it was noted that a shop radiographic report for shop seam

"C" had been rejected by the Consulting Engineers, (S&L). The CB&I shop release and site receiving records were found to be in order with no indication of a rejectable weld.

The assembly was installed in the containment liner and had passed all NDE tests - Final release papers were completed by CB&I and KEI QA personnel. Further review of the matter indicated that S&L specification H2174R, Paragraph 5-lG 7.7 stated that "All shop radiographs with appropriate reports shall be submitted to the Consulting Engineers for review and comments preliminary to release for shipment." The inspector stated that it appeared that this procedure had not been followed by CB&I. The receiving date of the assembly was 4-22-74. A review of the following site construction records for the liner was made with no discrepancies being identified:

Reactor Pressure Vessel Cleaning and Storage (R0 Inspection Report No. 050-358/74-01)

The inspector reviewed the corrective action as outlined in the CG&E letter of April 8,1974. The revised KEI QACHI-MI R-3 dated 2-25-74, reflected the water quality requirements as required by General Electric-Company (GE) Specification 22A-2517.

In addition, a certified report of the chemical analysis of water obtained from the deep well and used during the wash down of the Reactor Pressure Vessel was reviewed and found to meet the potable water requirements of the GE specification.

The inspector also reviewed the revised QACMI No. M-1, R3 that'

indicated that the QACMI included procedures for the " Reactor Pressure Vessel'and Internals." The revision was found in order.
