. Review of Quality Related Work and Inspection Records The inspector reviewed the quality related work and inspection records associated with the HPCS and RHR-B pumps.

In addition, the qualifica-tions of the various inspectors and the manufacturer's data packages for the pumps were reviewed including the following:

.

a.

Receiving Inspection (i) Pumps - Receiving inspection was in accordance with Plan-QAW 111, Revision 0, dated February 4, 1974, addressing

'

identification, damage, loss, and documentation. The RHR-B pump was received on material receiving report (MRR) 8337 dated March 11, 1974. The HPCS pump was received on MRR 24806 dated April 2, 1976. A document deficiency notice

,

dated Ma'ch 12, 1974 was written against'MRR 8337 (per QACMI r

G3.1.5 RI) because the required General Electric product quality certification document (PQC) was missing. This was cleared on receipt of the PQC and a copy of the PQC inserted j

in the receiving file.

l-(ii) Motors - Receiving inspection was in accordance with Plan l

QAW 111, Revision I dated April 4, 1976 addressing identifi-cation, damage, loss, and documentation. The HPCS motor was received on MRR 25060 dated April'12,' 1976. The RHR-B motor was received;on MRR 8336 dated March 11, 1974. No nonconform-i ing conditions were noted on' receipt.

I b.

Warehouse Storage and Maintenance-(i) Pumps - The pumps were stored and maintained in accordance i

'

with the manufacturer's requirements (Ingersoll Rand CQCP-1088,.

,

.

Revision 2) including inside heated storage and maintenance of the as-received condition. Monthly inspections were made for damage, rust, and corrosion. The maintenance records appear to be complete.and in accordance with the requirements.

The HPCS pump initial inspection was made April 2, 1976. The shell only was issued to the field on May 5, 1976 per DC

  1. 16421. The pump was issued to the-field on May 27, 1977 per DC #27846. The RHR-B pump " initial inspection" was made March 12, 1974. The shell only was issued to the field May 16,

'

1975 per DC #7125. The pump was issued to the field March 14,

'

1977 per DC #36103.

i (ii) Motors - The motors were stored and maintained in accordance

!

with the manufacturer's requirements (General Electric Spec.

261A3283) including inside unheated storage with periodic

!

checks for damage, bearing oil level, heater operation, and I

'

insulation resistance. The maintenance records appear to be complete and in accordance with the requirements.

j The HPCS motor initial inspection was made April 20, 1976.

-

The motor was issued to the field July 25, 1977 per DC #36102.

'The RHR-B motor initial inspection was made March 15, 1974.

The motor was issued to the field March 9, 1977 per DC #36076.

'

c.

Pump Shipping and Receiving

[

As a result of Nonconformance Report No. E733 dated June 7,1977, l

which identified the presence of water in the pump bowls, the HPCS

'

pump was returned to the manufacturer for inspection on June 30, l

1977 per shipping order 3214. The pump was prepared for shipping

by use of an approved plan. Upon return on July 21, 1977 (MRR i

'

39357), it underwent receiving inspection according to the plan and was sent directly to the field for installation.

}

'

d.

Pump and Motor Installation

,

The. pumps and motors appear to have been installed in accordance l

with the vendor's manuals and Field Construction Procedures (FCPs)

!

2-121, " Installation Procedure of RHR Pumps, LPCS and HPCS Pumps,"

!

Revision 0 dated April 8, 1977 and 4-16, " Installation Instructions for GE Vertical: Induction Motors," Revision 0 dated April 4,.1977.

}

These procedures were approved. However, on the face of the FCPs

!

l was a question - QA procedures. required, yes or no - the "No" box

'

!.

- was checked in both' cases. No QA/QC-involement was required. The

.

j-vendor manuals included storage, installation, test, and maintenance i

L instructions and were approved by GE' and Sargent and Lundy for

,

these purposes. The equipment grouting was performed using a con-

,

(_

struction inspection plan that was properly approved and filled out

!

l by QC. Grouting for the RHR-B pump was done April 12, 1977; for the t

(

HPCS pump August-25, 1977._ However, exce'pt for the grouting, the

'

.

pumps and motors were installed and aligned without objective

evidence of QA involvement. The mechanical construction test pro-

'

cedure, MC-1, Revision 1 dated April 5,1977, in effect at the time of installation contained a " Mechanical Equipment Inspection List",

form MC-1-A.

The completed form was signed in the " inspected by"

columns by the KEI millwright superintendent and the CG&E construc-tion engineer.

The record review revealed that GE Field Disposition Instruction (FDI) No. 95/63000 dated March 29, 1979, required the removal of

the RHR pump motors for rework. A seismic review by General Electric indicated that the RHR pump motors would not withstand the required horizontal seismic loadings. Therefore, the motors bad to be removed and have their rotors reduced in diameter to meet the requirements. When these motors were reinstalled in s

early June of 1979, the alignment and bolt torquing were done using

'

an approved construction inspection plan (CIP No. M00IC, Revision

L 0).

The record review revealed that the activities were witnessed by qualified quality control personnel.

,

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion X, requires that "a program for inspection of activities affecting quality shall be established and executed by or for the organization performing the activities to verify conformance with the documented-instructions, procedures, l

and drawings for accomplishing the activity.

Such inspections shall

!

be performed by individuals other than those who performed the activity being inspected." 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V re-quires that " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropri-ate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance

,

with these instructions, procedures, or drawings." Revision 15 dated May 6, 1977 of the CG&E quality assurance manual was in effect at the time of the installation. Section 1.9.6, QA Performance, of the manual states, "KEI is responsible for providing QA to assure that

. performance of construction personnel, procedures, qualification or

.

similar operations comply with specifications, codes, and other directives or requirements."

Contrary to the above, Chapter 10 of the CG&E QA manual, in effect at the time of installation, did not require QA/QC involvement i~

(review and inspection) in the installation and test activities.

i The KEI manual, in effect at the time, did not contain written l

instructions (QACMIs) covering installation and test activities.

No objective evidence of QA/QC involvement was found. Discussion revealed that QA/QC was not involved in these activities.

(Also

'

see' subparagraph f of this section.) This is in noncompliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion X, which states that a program for inspection of-activites affecting quality shall be established and executed to verify conformance with documented instructions, pro-cedures, and drawings.

Installed Equipment Maintenance (KEI)

A review of the Kaiser Engineers, Inc. maintenance instruction

' sheets revealed that they were based on the approved manufacturer's instruction manuals. The maintenance instruction and record sheets were approved and completed and included verification of items such as oil levels, nitrogen purge pressures, and motor heater operation.

f.

Construction Test The HPCS pump was tested on November 10, 1977. The RHR-B pump was tested on February 24, 1978. The tests were conducted in accordance with the approved vendor's manuals. The results were recorded under the mechanical construction procedure, MC-1, as indicated in sub-paragraph d.

Pump and Motor Installation, above. As with the installation, no QA/QC involvement was required and there was no objective evidence of QA/QC involvement with the testing. Discus-sion revealed that QA/QC was not involved in this activity. This matter is considered to be an item of noncompliance.

(358/83-07-01(B))

g.

Equipment Turnover After the construction test, the equipment was transferred to the owner in accordance with CG&E procedure SU. PRP. 01 Revision 3 dated September 14, 1978, entitled " System Release and Turnover."

,

I The procedure was approved. The HPCS pump was turned over on

January 31, 1979 and the RHR-B pump was turned over on April 25, 1979.

Installed Equipment Maintenance (CG&E)

(i) Motors - The drive motors have been maintained in accordance I

with an approved plan by the operating division. This includes monitoring bearing oil levels and rotating the shaft by hand.

The records appear to be complete and continuous.

!

(ii) Pumps - The pumps have been rotated by hand along with the motors as noted above, to determine freedom of rotation.

i (iii) Discussion revealed that the emergency core cooling systems l

and components were frequently transferred between CG&E and KEI for work activities. Discussion revealed that dry-instrument air is used where possible to purge the systems and partial systems. The control of the condition of the pumps and piping during these periods is considered an unresolved item pending further inspection to determine that the systems are in a condition to fulfill their safety functions.

i. -QC Inspector Qualifications The dossiers of the'five inspectors involved in the receiving, maintenance, and installation of the pumps were examined. The inspection revealed that the receiving inspector had not been qualified by onsite testing or training and had not beea certified.

Discussions revealed that the licensee has implemented a program to resolve this generic situation. This matter is unresolved pending further review of the program.

(358/83-07-03)

j.

Field Deviations, Field Instructions, and Corrective Actions Sixteen field deviation disposition requests (FDDRs), three field disposition instructions (FDIs), and the associated equipment trouble reports (ETRs),or nonconformance reports (NRs) were re-viewed. Established procedures were followed. The records were legible, complete, reviewed / approved and controlled. The attached Table I indicates-the details of the documents that were reviewed.

k.

Data Reports The manufacturer's records confirming the quality of the pumps were reviewed. They contained the data required by the draft ASME Code for Nuclear Pumps and Valves (later included in Section III of ASME)

that was used in the procurement of the pumps. The pumps were also required to meet the requirements of Section III of the ASME

'

Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (1968) for pressure retaining parts and head flange bolting. The procurement specifications required the manufacturer to submit for approval, prior to fabrication, the design calculations, seismic loading calculations, and the Code calculations for pressure-retaining parts. No calculations were

,

i available for review. This is considered an unresolved item pending further review.

(358/83-07-04)

3.

Plant Tours L

The plant' tour was conducted to observe the physical status of the HPCS pump, the RHR pumps and any other items of interest.

a.

RHR Pumps A, B, and C The pumps were.f aspected to determine physical condition and' con-

,

l formance to the drawings. The shafts were easily rotated by hand and the equipment appeared to be in good physical condition.

The three'RHR pumps each have a shaft seal cooler installed. The coolers have "UM"_ stamps indicating fabrication under-Section VIII

,

L of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Table 3.2-liof the FSAR indicates that these coolers are installed in systems that-fall under the requirements of'Section III of the' Code. This is considered an unresolved item pending~further inspection of the dis-crepancies, including the ASME Sections III and VIII requirements (

and the seismic Category I criteria and calculations.

HPCS Pump and LPCS Pump The pumps were inspected to determine physical condition and i

conformance to the drawings. The shafts were easily rotated by hand and the equipment appeared to be in good physical condition.

No anomalies were noted.

.c.

Standby Liquid Control System (SLCS) Pumps These pumps were inspected to determine their ASME Code status.

. The inspection revealed that the pumps are not "N" stamped.

These pumps are part of a safety related reactivity control system.

Table 3.2-1 of the FSAR indicates that pumps were ordered in February 1972. Table 3.2-2 of the FSAR indicates that pumps ordered at that time would fall under the rules of Section III of the ASME Code, 1971 Edition, and would therefore require an "N" stamp. The procurement documents were examined and showed that the pumps were ordered in June 1971, before the 1971 edition of the Code was in effect. This is considered an unresolved item pending further inspection of the discrepancy in the dates and the review of the pump data package including the seismic requirements of the pump, speed reducer, and drive motor.

Review of Ouality Records for Power Cables

!

Quality records were reviewed for two power cables: cable no. HP-010

'

for the HPCS pump motor, and RH-120 for the RHR pump B motor.

a.

Records regarding receipt of materials were as follows:

(i) S&L purchase specifications, Cable Spec. No. H-2160A.

,

This document specified production tests, and in detail, the cable flame tests and DBE, design-basis-event (in this i-case a loss-of-coolant-accident, LOCA) tests. These tests were modeled after tests specified in Draft IEEE 383, published later as Standard 383-1974.

(ii) Kaiser Purchase Order No. 25103.

- Item 9 specified cable HP-010 material and Item 12 specified cable RH-120 material.

(iii) Material Received Reports MRR-18995 and MRR-18526.

MRR-18995 included receipt of material for cable HP-010 and NRR-18526 for cable RH-120. These two reports described receipt of the above cables, and were each stamped by a certified inspector, whose file of credentials was reviewed.

.

(iv) Receiving Inspection Plan No. 25103.

Each of the above NRRs included a copy of the P.O. 25103 Inspection Plan with the inspector's stamp on each item of l

t procedure-that certified visual inspection items as well as receipt of test documentation. For each of the above MRRs there is also a transmittal of the documents to Kaiser QA document center and receipt acknowledgement by a KEI QA representative. Each MRR also included a Documentation Check List signed by a QA & Standards engineer, that certified that the documentation was complete and acceptable.

(v) Kerite Company Factory Tests--to Sargent and Lundy.

All cable tests specified in H-2160A were described in a Kerite Company letter of August 28, 1975 to S&L for P.O. 25103

Item 9, used for cable HP-010, except for the flame tests and

.

the DBE (LOCA) tests. A similar letter of August 8, 1975 described these tests for Item 12, used for cable RH-120.

These certified test documents were acceptable.

Generic tests for the specified flame and DBE tests were accepted. They are described below.

(vi) Generic Fire Test Report by Kerite.

A letter of June 25, 1976 transmitted both a LOCA Qualification Report, Item (vii) below, and three Fire Test Reports to S&L.

These fire test reports are generic, on various cables of the same insulation material, and are dated June 20, 1974, March 6, 1975, and May 15, 1975. The tests, as certified by Kerite, meet the flame test specifications.

(vii) Generic LOCA Tests by Kerite.

'

LOCA tests, generic, are described in a document from the

Franklin Institute Research Laboratories called Qualification Tests of Electrical Cables Undec Simulated Post-Accident Reactor Containment Service Conditions, Final Report F-C 2737, prepared for the Kerite Company, April 15, 1970, and trans-mitted by the Kerite Company to S&L in letter of September 6, L

1974.

  • -

Examination of this test report indicates all test specifica-tions were met with one exception. Megger readings, performed after all simulated test environments were substituted for voltage withstand tests-for 5 minutes at a potential of 80 V/ mil ac or 240 V/ mil dc.

The S&L review also noted this deficiency.and required that tests be performed in accordance with the specifications. The new test' report was not available during the record review.

.

This item is considered unresolved until the new' report is reviewed.

(358/83-07-07)-

b.

Records regarding cable installations were as follows:

(i) -Direct Charge Issues.

No. 33098 issued 500' of 3/c 750 MCM, 5-kV cable (Cable HP-010)

'

on Reel #73 for installation on September 7, 1977.

No. 33702 returned 232' of this on Reel #73 back to the wire compound on October 10, 1977. Similar issues were made for 3/c, 2/o. cable for cable RH-120.

(ii) Field Construction Procedure.

Foothill Electrical Corporation Field Construction Procedure, FEC-INI-007, dated May 3, 1977, directly transmits and uses Kaiser's " Quality Assurance - Construction Methods Instruction (QACMI)" entitled " Electrical Installation Procedure - Cable Pulling"--QACMI No. E-7, Revision 4, dated April 29, 1977.

This instruction was reviewed. From it, Construction Inspec-tion Plan, Spec./Dwg. No. H-2173, " Elect. Installation - Cable Pulling" was prepared.

(iii) Construction Inspection Plan H-2173.

CIP No. CP 10/6/77-B was used by inspector no. 65 on October 6,1977 to certify that all procedures for pulling cable no.

HP-010 were proper.

A review of the file on inspector no. 65 revealed that although he had a B.S degree and had had several inspector training courses on cable pulling and was, in part, in charge of all essential cable pulling, he had a "no-level" rating as an electrical inspector. He was certified as Level II for welding. He was color blind--had had this waived on January 5, 1976 but reconsidered as unsatisfactory on January 27, 1977.

His lack of formal certification as a cable pull inspector is an unresolved item pending further review.

(358/83-07-08)

(iv) Cable Routing.

Cable routing was studied and verified on drawings E-1005, and pull cards. The routing was visually checked in walk-down verification for both cables and found correct. Design docu-ment changes were made where necessary. Termination connection inspectors were checked for proper credentials and were properly certified.

A minor detail on the HP-010 cable pull card was noted during the review. An error on the card shows a 500 MCM cable instead of 750 MCM. The card indicated the proper 750 MCM elsewhere and the correct reel number; it appears to be an isolated typographical error.

5.

Unresolved Items Unresolved Items are matters about which information is required in order to. ascertain'whether they are acceptable items, items of non-compliance, cr deviations. Unresolved items are addressed in para-graphs 2.h.(iii), 2.i, 2.k, 3.a, 3.c, 4.a.(vii), and 4.b(iii).
