1)a te Engineering Support Section No. 1 Reactor Construction and Engineering Support Branch Inspection Summary Inspection on December 27-29, 1978 (Report Nos. 50-369/78-44 and 50-370/78-18)

Areas Inspected:

Safety-related pipe support and restraint systems (Units 1 and 2); reactor vessel internals records (Unit 1); radio-graphic film reading (Unit 2); housekeeping and general work practices (Units 1 and 2).

The inspection involved 16 inspector hours on site by one NRC inspector.

Results: Of the six areas inspected, no apparent items of noncompliance were identified in five areas; one apparent item of noncompliance was found in one area (Infraction - Failure to follow procedure for coated electrode weld rod control).

Independent Inspection Effort (Units 1 and 2)

!

A walk-through inspection of the reactor buildings and auxiliary building was performed. General work activities and housekeeping were observed.

In the Unit 2 reactor building the inspector found three

'.

.

s RII Rpt. Nos. 50-369/78-44 and 50-370/78-18 I-2 E7018 coated weld rods on an "I" beam. The inspector observed several more in trash cans. A welding foreman indicated that E7018 weld rods should not be left laying around.

He implied however that it was acceptable to throw them into the trash can. DPC QAP H-3 Rev. 9 and QAM Section H-3 Paragraph 5.7.1 states in part that ".

If all the

..

welding material is not used in the time alloted in Table 1, the remaining material and corresponding H-3B forms shall be returned to the issue station." Table 1 requires E7018 to be returned to the issue station after 41/2 hours maximum exposure. This appears to be in noncompliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion V as implemented by DPC Topical Report Duke 1-A, Section 17, Paragraph 17.1.5.

This item is therefore identified as an infraction -Failure to follow procedure (50-370/78-18-01).

Radiographic film reading for Unit 2 reactor bottom mounted instrumentation tube welds was observed. DPC QA NDE program procedure NDE-10 Rev. I and Technique Number 9-3-A Rev. 2 were reviewed to determine compliance of work with the procedure and to determine compliance with W specification 82127JM. DPC construction Procedure 161 Rev. 6 was also reviewed.

Current qualifications of the non-destructive examiner was also reviewed. Within the area inspected, no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

5.

Safety-Related Pipe Support and Restraint Systems - Units 1 and 2 This is a follow-on inspection of that reported in RII Report Nos. 50-369/78-40 and 50-370/78-17.

The status of the open nonconformance item report number 6273 was reviewed and corrective action being taken by the licensee was inspected.

The licensee indicated that new procedures were to be prepared for the installation and inspection of hydraulic snubbers.

Site engineers, however, are still consulting with vendors and studying various alternatives to assure proper installation and inspection of the hydraulic snubbers.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

6.

Reactor Vessel Internals - Review of Quality Records - Unit I t

Pertinent quality records relevant to handling, installation and post installation protection of the reactor vessel internals were reviewed to confirm that the installation and inspection was in accordance with

7.

Exit Interview A meeting with the licensee representatives denoted in Paragraph I was held at the end of the inspection to discuss the results of the inspection.

Items discussed included the Unit I reactor vessel internals records, Units 1 and 2 safety-related pipe support and restraint systems, radiographic film reading of Unit 2 reactor vessel bottom mounted instrumentation tube welds, and the observation of housekeeping and general work practices in Units 1 and 2.

The weld rod control inf raction for failure to follow procedure was also discussed.

The licensee acknowledged these findings.
