Licensee Action on Previous Ins ection Findin s

(Closed)

Unresolved item (387/77-07-01; 388/77-02-03):

Item 388/77-02-03 was originally reported as 388/77-02-02.

Problems with electrical material requisitions'and associate D specifications.

The licensee identified the problem in the. Electrical Monitoring Status Log as item 54.

Bechtel issued MCAR ¹17 and JAR 8856-F-264 to provide cor-rective action and close out control of the above identified problem.

=Closed MCAR ¹17 by Bechtel on gA/IOM 750 and PPSL by QAL-417.

This item is considered resolved.

(Closed) Infraction (387/78-03-01):

Licensee's statement of conformance not in specifications to instruct sub-tier vendors on content require-ments.

The Bechtel Engineering Procedure Manual has been revised to

incorporate the requirements for certificates of conformance as required by Section III, No. 2, paragraph 3.1.12 of the Bechtel Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual.

This item is considered resolved.

The inspector verified that the following items were verified by the quality control inspector witnessing the cable installation:

Cable identified and color coded Raceway identified and clean Location verified Pull Tension verification.

No items of noncompliance were identified.

8.

250VDC Batter Char er Cable Termination During the inspection of the battery, racks, and room of system lD-610 the inspector witnessed the cable stripping and termination of two 500 MCM> power cables for the 250VDC Battery Charger 10653 After the electrician made the cable termination connections the inspector informed the electrical foreman in the area that the electrician did not follow the installation procedure for preparing the. aluminum cable as required in FP-E-S, Revision 0 Part 2, paragraph 6.3 entitled

"Aluminum Compression Connector Installation."

Paragraph 6.3;2 states, in part, "...Aluminum conductors shall be thoroughly brushed with a fine bristle stainless steel wire brush immediately prior to installation of the connector...."

The electrical craft supervisor had the previously made cable terminations cut-off and new terminations made in accordance with the instructions of FP-E-8 Part 2 paragraph 6.3.2.

The inspector informed the licensee that in discussions between the craft personnel during the assembly of the termination lug on the cables, the craft personnel indicated that the material contained in the termination lug barrel would keep the aluminum cable ends clean and it was not necessary to wire brush the bare aluminum conductors.

The licensee was informed that this was contrary to the requirements of Field Procedure E-8, Revision ~0, and Appendix B, Criterion V of

CFR 50.

This is considered to be an item of noncompliance.
