_? The inspector stated that the problem identified with the con-struction joint of the containment building would be listed as an unresolved item until an engineering evaluation of the problem has been completed by the A-E (S&L) . The licensee indicated that this evaluation would be completed as soon as possible and that the inspector would be promptly informed of the result . The inspector stated that, during the review of nonconformance reports, it was noted that a nonconformance notice (NCN) had been issued on a design drawing that indicated the A-E had not included all design changes in a revised drawing. The inspector indicated that this matter would be further reviewed during a subsequent inspection. The licensee stated that this item would be discussed v'th the A- *

Result of Inspectio ,.. Containment Equipment Hatch - Radiographic Review by A-E (RO Inspection ~'

Report No. 050-358/74-02) .

The inspector reviewed the corrective action taken by CG&E and CB&I, as ___

outlined in the licensee's letter of July 17, 1974. ' The following

' ~

. documents were examined: m A revision to the S&L' specification, No. ' H-2174, Section 5-1, Primary Containment Steel Liner, Paragraph 5-16.7.7, " Shop Radiographs", indicating that the final acceptance of RT work'

would be based on the consulting engineer's review attesting to their acceptance of the radiographs,

2. Defective Construction Concre'te Joint in the conta'inment Structure The inspector. was informed by the licensee that after removal of

, _

the construction forms on the concrete joint between pours APC-3--

and APC-4 of the containment building, it was noted that an un-acceptsble joint had been made. This condition was documented by KEI nonconformance report No. 152. Further investigation of'this matter by CG&E, S&L, and KEI QA and engineering personnel substantiated the following conditions: The problems existed in varying degrees for about 75% of the entire circumferential joint. This was determined by probing with a wire in the effected area The joint had a layer of sand, rust, and other debris on th face apparently due to improper cleanin , The debris was cleaned away and the concrete chipped back to a

-

good, solid surfac The problem was determined to be as deep as the outer layer of resteci in some places. The deepest void was measured to be 3" high, 6" deep, and 5' lon The A-E engineers were onsite and hed taken seven core sample A complete engineering analysis is to be made by the A-E to determine the safety implication of this condition to the con- ,

tainment structure.

-- KEI had suspended further concrete pours on the containment structure, pending a positive finding by the A-E's engineer Repair procedures will be formul:ted and approved by COLE, EEI, and S&L prior to starting of repair i A study is being made by CG&E to determine if this matter is reportable, under the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.55(e) .

j. Concrete placement procedures were being revised. Subsequent to the inspection, the licensee informed the inspector that the A-E has completed their preliminary engineering analysis and had determined that the condition will not adversely affect the safety of the structur Repairs to the joint will commence as soon

,

as the repair procedures are approve .

Site Storage - Essential Components p '. - -

The inspector examined the outside yard that has been designated as

' the storage area for essential Class 1 components. The items that were found to be stored in this area were found to be well protected from dirt, rain, etc., by plastic and tarpaulin covers. Pressure .

ve seels under gas storage were examined and found to be in an )

acceptable condition. Routine inspections by both KEI receiving and j QA/QC personnel, are being conducted and documente ?

_ 5. Nonconforming Reports (NCR's) and Document Deficiency Reports (DDR's)

The KEI NCR summary report, dated September 13, 1974, and DDR Report dated August 30, 1974, were reviewed by the inspector. Deficient items are being resolved in a prompt manner. These reports will continue to receive attention during subsequent inspection . Audits The following audit reports were reviewed by the inspector. The ,

,

audits were conducted by designated QA personnel. A log of all audits performed is being maintained by the CB&E and KEI QA Departments. The f ollowing audits were performed: pg3E

(1) Corporate The licensee's corporate management conducted an audit of the CG&E Quality Assurance and Standards Section activities on September 5 and 6, 1974. The audit was conducted at both the .

corporate offices and the Zimmer construction sit l The purpose of the audit was to determine if the CG&E QA l program was being implemented as required by the PSAR commit- l ments. Deficiencies found were documented and distributed to all designated CG&E personnel. The audit was found to be comprehensive and informativ !
