- denotes those present at the exit interview The inspector also interviewed other licensee and contractor em-ployees during the inspectio :
.
2.
Plant Tour The inspector made a tour of the construction site to observe work activities in progress.
The inspector examined work items for any obvious defects or noncompliance with regulatory requirements and for evidence of quality control of the work.
Specific activities observed by the inspector included material handling, weld seam fitup and welding of containment liner.
No items of noncompliance were identified.
.
3.
Concrete Placement Block No. LSK-508-2A The inspector was informed by the licensee's representative that during placement of concrete, there had been a disagreement between QC and construction supervision concerning placing methods and adequacy of vibration. As a result NCR No. 0443 had been written by QC. The in-spector reviewed this NCR. The Deviation Review Board (DRB) had re-viewed this NCR and established Disposition requirements for " pulse velocity" inspection in accessible areas and core drilling in three inaccessible areas for testing and evaluation by the Engineer.
The Corrective Action included a joint training session of QC and construction supervision to identify responsibilities; pre-pour meetings to identify pour sequence and possible problems; and a detailed in-spectip.n following form removal.
This item is unresolved pending review by an NRC inspector of the Dispositions and Corrective Action results (78-16-01).
"
4.
M-K QC Program The inspector reviewed implementation of the plan developed by the
'.'.censee for improving the effectiveness of the M-K QC program.
Specific actions required i cluding revision of the M-K QA Mancal;
~
provisian of inspection checklists;and revision of the weld rod con-trol procedure had been completed.
Training of M-K QC personnel is continuing. The on-the-job training has been completed and the inspector attended a meeting of GPU, S&W and M-K personnel for discussion of this program.
S&W personnel re-sponsible for providing on-the-job training also sumarized their conclusions regarding the qualifications of the M-K QC personnel whose work they had observed. They later discussed the training program in
.
detail with the Level III inspector recently hired by M-K to super-vise field QC.
Discussion at.the meeting indicated that there had been improvement as a result of the seven week on-the-job training program, but that certain of the M-K inspectors were not considered adequately qualified for certain of their assigned duties.
Surveil-lance inspection and a " hold point" for preplacement inspection by GPU are continuing in order to assure compliance with QC require-ments.
The inspector also reviewed the following reports:
a.
Audit Report No. 78-14, December 13-19, 1978.
This report identified twenty-four findings, of which, sixteen were non-conformances.
Seven of the ncncomformances were repetitive of items identified during previous audits.
b.
Surveillance reports for the period N0vember 14 - December 15, 1978.
Nine surveillance inspections had been performed during this period.
Six of the nine inspections had identified un-satisfactory conditions with two NCR's written; one of them being NCR No. 0443 discussed in Paragraph 3 above.
Following completion of the inspection, the inspector discussed the M-K QC improvement program by telephone with the. licensee's representative at the GPU office in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey.
Despite implementation of the plan as noted above, the incident described in Paragraph 3; review of the audit and surveillance reports; and discussion of the on-the-job training program all indica td that the M-K QC personnel are not yet cap-able of providing effective control of the quality of the work without
,
assistance.
This item is unresolved pending further review by an NRC
-
inspector of the effectiveness of the M-K QC program (78-16-02).
5.
Reactor Pit Liner An inspection was made of the work in progress to install the bottom floor plates in the reactor pit liner.
Observations were made of the work being performed to make the proper weld gap fitup and flat plate alignment. T he work plan used was to fit and tack all the plates together and then weld. The work area was protected from the weather by a roof constructed of wood frame and plastic covering.
This was found to be inadequate for keeping the water out during a severe rain storm.
The bottom floor plates were observed to be covered with water, therefore, all work on the floor plates was discontinued until a revise plan was written to adequatETy protect the work area and maintain it in a dry condition.
This item is considered unresolved (78-16-03).

6.
M-K Weld Procedures and Weld Material Control An inspection was made of the program used by the contractor, Morrison-Knudsen, to control the welding material 'the applicable procedures j
used for the identification and control of material and control of,.
.,
purchased material were reviewed and observations made of the receiving material verification, holding ovens, temperature control, calibrations, issue control and written authorization to issue and listings of quali-fied weldors.
The procedures reviewed are listed below:
Weld Procedure MK 21, Revision 2, Manual TIG Welding of Stainless Steel Piping and Associated Fittings Weld Procedure MK 5, Revision 3, Welding of Carbon Steel to Stainless Steel Weld Procedure MK 73, Revision 2, Manual Metal Arc Welding of Carbon Steel Pipe and Structural Welds Quality Control Procedure QCP 06-FR, Revision 0, Identification and Control of Material Quality Control Procedure QCP 05-FR, Revision 0, Control of Purchase Material The inspector observed the welding setup for a Foundation Sump Liner for the Auxiliary and Fuel Handling Buildings which were to be welded
"
in accordance with PCM 5355, Revision 0, Drawing 5662 and WPS 21, Revi-sion 2.
No items of noncompliance were identified.
7.
PDM Procedures The inspector reviewed the WPS 75-88 NTNR, SMAW for compliance to ASME Section IX.
No items of noncompliance were identifie *
