Exit Interview On July 2, 1980, the inspector met with the licensee representatives noted in paragraph I above and summarized the scope and findings of the inspection of preservice inspection activities. The license agreed to evaluate the inspection previously performed on constant and variable spring type hangers, snubbers and shock absorbers as part of the pre-operational test program to insure that the requirements of Section XI of ASME have been met (See paragraph 7).

Preservice Inspection - Review of Procedures The inspector reviewed the preservice inspection (PSI) procedures indicated below to determine whether the procedures were consistent with regulatory requirements and licensee commitments. The applicable code for the PSI is the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, 1974 Edition, with addenda through the summer of 1975.
a.
ISI-52, Revision 7, Amendment 1,
" Operating Procedure for Reactor Vessel Inspection Using the Westinghouse Remote inspection Tool".
WMF 95043-P-001, Revision 1, Attachment G, " Reactor Vessel Remotely Operated Inspection Tool In-House Calibration".
RV-ISI-01, Revision 1, " Reactor Vessel Inspection Program Preparation and Documentation".
These procedures were reviewed for technical content relative to: type of apparatus, extent of coverage including beam angles and scanning tech-niques, calibration requirements, search units, DAC curves, reference
-
level for monitoring discontinuities, method of demonstrating penetration, levels for evaluating and recording indications, and acceptance criteria.
b.
ISI-70, Revision 0, Amendment 7, " Magnetic Particle Examinations" This procedure was reviewed for technical content relative to: exami-nation method, color contrast for dry particles, suspension medium for wet particles, temperature limitations, viewing conditions for fluores-cent particles, examination coverage, prod or pole spacing, magnetizing current, coil requiremente and acceptance criteria.
Within the areas * inspected, no items of noncompliance or deviation were identified.

Preservice Inspection - Data Review and Evaluation The inspector reviewed the PSI pipe wold records indicated below to determine whether the records were consistent with applicable code and procedure requirements. See paragraph 5 above for the applicable code.

The records were reviewed relative to: calibration requirements, recording of indications and inspection results.
.
In addition to review of NDE records, certification records for two level II examiners, who performed inspections on the above welds, were reviewed.
During review of the above pipe weld records and the associated NDE proce-dure (ISI-205), the inspector noted that 10 percent notches were used as reflectors for angle beam ultrasonic (UT) calibration. Paragraph T-533 of the 1974 Edition of ASME Section V (applicable code for UT of pipe) requires that drilled holes serve as basic calibration reflectors for establishing primary reference response and constructing a distance-amplitude correction curve. Paragraph T-533.2(b) allows the use of other calibration reflectors provided equivalent responses to that from the basic calibration hole are demonstrated. At the time of the inspection, the licensee's PSI contractor was not on site and there was no documentation to provide evidence that the calibration using the 10 percent notches is equivalent to that using the required drilled holes.
The licensee agreed to pursue this matter to resolution with their PSI contractor.
This matter is considered to be unresolved and is identified as item 364/80-20-01, Reflector designs in UT Calibration blocks.
l Within the areas inspected, no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

Preservice Inspection - Observation of Work and Work Activities The inspector reviewed the licensee's PSI Plans and schedules to ascertain whether component examinations met requirements of the Safety Analysis -
Report and the licensee's PSI program in the areas of: number of items to be inspected, methods of examination, and extent of examinations. This was accomplished by comparing the " Schedule of Examinations" for Class 1 and 2 components from the "Preservice Examination Program" with the requirements from tables IWB-2500, IWB-2600, IWC-2520, and IWC-2600 of the applicable u

edition of ASME Section XI (see paragraph 5).
During this review, the
.
inspector noted that paragraph 3.6.1 of procedure ISI-8, " Visual Examina-tion Procedure" requires that hangers having calibrated load indicators shall have the scale reading recorded. The program does not address what to do with the recorded scale readings. Tables IWB-2500 and IWC-2520 of ASME Section XI require that for piping supports, support settings of constant and variable spring type hangers, snubbers, and shock absorbert shall be verified. Discussions with plant personnel revealed that a sept 5-ate hanger inspection program (Part or the pre-op testing program) probably satisifies section XI requirements and the inspection required by procedure ISI-8 is not needed.
The licensee agreed to evaluate thi; problem to insure that Section XI requirements are being met and to clarify procedure requirements. This matter is considered unresolved and is identified as item number 364/80-20-02, Inspection of set points on pipe supports.
Within the areas inspected, no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

Preservice Inspectic - Review of Program
'
The PSI program was reviewed during a previous inspection (see report 364/
79-12). Since that inspection, the responsibility for PSI has been trans-ferred from the Maintenance Superintendent to the Systems Performance and Planning Superintendent. Under the Performance and Planning Superintendent, a major Projects Section has been set up which will be responsible for ISI and PST ine inspector reviewed TCN 1A to Administrative Procedure FNP-0-AP-5', which covers the above changes.
Wita... oic areas inspected, no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
