Unresolved Item (387/78-17-03):
Classification of Reactor Building Crane Rails as "Non-g".
The inspector noted that Drawing C-268 provides for the purchase of crane rails, crane rail clamps, and filler plates for the Seismic Category I Refueling Platform as "Non-g".
This classification appears to be similar to the classification of the reactor building crane rails as
"Non-g" identified in Inspection Report 387/78-17.
The inspector stated that the classification of both reactor build-ing and refueling platform rails and supports would be considered as a generic item and was still under review by the NRC.
(Closed)
Unresolved Item (387/78-18-01; 388/78-17-01):
Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping - Review of Storage and Maintenance.
The inspector verified that the Bechtel Field Storage and Maintenance group had issued
"Equipment Maintenance Requirements and Record" cards for. both Unit 1 and Unit 2 GE supplied piping.
The inspector also verified that routine inspections were being conducted and examined by site gC in accordance with the requirements of Project Special Provisions Notice G-5 1 Revision 4.
The inspector reviewed the com-pleted MCAR No. 1-26 which documents licensee actions to reduce defic-iencies in storage and maintenance and promptly resolving identified deficiencies.

The inspector reviewed selected detailed pipe support drawings asso-ciated with guality Control Inspection Report (gCIR) 26.0-M213-A1-296 to verify that the weld procedure specified on the hanger drawing had been documented on the gCIR.
No discrepancies were identified.
The inspector also verified that an in-process gCIR for support SP-HCB-138-1 had been issued and the inspections completed.
In addition, the Project Field guality Control Engineer (PF(CE) completed a review to verify that other similar missing gCIR'.s did not exist.
The PF(CE approved instructions to appropriate gC Engineers regard-ing the verification of in-process inspection records prior to com-pletion of the final gC inspection.
The inspector had no further questions on this matte d.
. (Closed)
Unresolved Item (387/79-03-03)
Pipe Support Seismic Classification.
Pipe support GBB-109-927 detailed drawing has'.been revised to requir e it toi.be Seismic Category I.
This information agrees with Bechtel Drawing M-199.
The inspector verified that the referenced Stress Isometric Drawing, 864-J, included the seismic calculation results for GBB-109-H27.
e.
The inspector also reviewed additional detailed support drawings on the GBB-109 line.
All supports were identified as Seismic Category I.
The inspector had no further questions on this matter.
(Closed)
Noncompliance (387/79-10-02):
Failure to Follow Procedures for the Control of Nonconforming I'tems.
The inspector reviewed actions taken regarding Nonconformance Reports 3350 and 3521.
The Nonconformance Reports had been dispositioned and closed as stated in the licensee's letter to the'NRC dated June'll, 1979.
The inspector interviewed Field Engineering and guality Control per-sonnel regarding the requirements of Field Inspection Procedure G-3.
Personnel interviewed were knowledgeable of.the requirements restric-ting work on nonconforming items.
The inspector reviewed six addi-tional Nonconformance Reports to verify that no work had been accom-plished without appropriate disposition or Conditional Release.
Documentation reviewed by the inspector included:
Project Construction Manager memorandum File No.. 40.d.487, dated March 13, 1979.
Project Field guality Control Engineer memorandum GCS-607, dated May 29, 1979.
Nonconformance Report Nos.:3560, 3602, 3612, 3692, 3831 and 3853.

(Closed)
Unresolved 'Item.(387/79-15-06):
Classification, of Support Steel for Hydraulic Control Unit The licensee has determined that the subject structural support steel is safety-related.
The inspector examined the Bechtel "(-
List" Revision 10A of May 1979, which now includes this steel.
The inspector revi'ewed NISCO installation inspection records for this support steel.
NISCO had always considered the steel as safety-'related and had been conducting their routine inspection of this material.
The inspector also reviewed Bechtel gC Surveil-lance Records for the NISCO subcontract.
The Bechtel gC surveil-lance reports now include the installation of support steel for the Hydraulic Control Units.
The inspector had no further questions on this matter.

Recirculation S stem Nozzle Modification - Unit
Cg The inspector reviewed procedures and observed work in progress relative to the Recirculation System nozzle modification.
The procedures and work were examined to verify conformance with ASME Section III thru Summer 1976 Addenda and Section XI 1974 edition for General Electric Installation and Service Engineering (GE I&SE) work; and ASME Section III thru Winter 1972 Adden'da for Bechtel work; and conmitments in PPSL letters, to the NRC, PLA-291 dated September 25, 1978 and PLA-350 dated May 4, 1979.
Procedures reviewed included:
Bechtel FCI-M-174 Revision 2.
GE IPSE Procedures:
SRSE 1-4, Revision 1; SRSE 1-,7, Reyision 5;
SRSE l-ll, Revision 3; and SRSE 1-32, Revision
.2.
The inspector observed work in progress and verified conformance to the applicable procedures:
SRSE l-ll and FCI-M-174.
Specific work evolutions observed included:
Cutting and rigging of external, jet pump risers:
RD-1-A4 RD-1-A6 RD-1-A7 RD-1-A8 RD-1-B4 RD-1-B5 RD-1-B6 RD-1-B8
Cutting and Machining of recirculation nozzles.
N2B N2C N2G N2H During the work in progress, the licensee has identified discrep-ancies during the modification work.
The conditions noted are documented in accordance with applicable QA Manual Requiiements including:
Nonconformance Reports:
Bechtel-4072, 4092; GE IPSE - Nos.
1-9 ll and 12.
The inspector observed Ultrasonic Testing (UT) of the Recirculation System External Jet Pump riser weld mockup.
The UT of this mockup was accomplished in accordance with FCI-M-174 and Bechtel Technique UT-100 Revision 2.
The mockup was considered necessary by the licensee to verify that the final weld configuration could be ultra-sonically examined during Pre-Service and In-Service inspection.
The development of a procedure suitable for field application is being pursued by the Pre-Service inspection contractor.
No items of noncompliance were identified.

Pi in Hork in Pro ress - Unit
The inspector reviewed work in progress.for the turnover of'he Station Service Hater System to the Integrated Startup Group (ISG)
for testing.
The system turnover includes portions of the safety-related Emergency Service Hater System.
The inspector reviewed
. turnover documentation to verify that procedural requirements were being observed including such aspects as:
documentation and correc-tion nonconforming conditions, review by site QA and QC, documenta-tion of turnover exceptions, and approval signatures.
The above activities were evaluated against criteria established in the following documents:
PSAR Appendix D.
FSAR Sections 3.2,.3. 13,.9.2.1 and 9.2. 5.
Bechtel Specifications M201,.M204,and M213.
Bechtel Field Procedure G-19, Revision (R
Project Special Provisions Notice G-7.4, Revision 0.
ISG Adminsitrative Directive 6.1, Revision 4.
During review of this turnover, the inspector noted that pipe sup-ports JRD-129-H9 and JRR-141-1-H6 were documented as Seismic Cate-gory II on the respective detailed hanger drawings.
These pipe supports appear to be included as restraints described by Regula-tory Guide 1.29, Paragraph 3.
The inconsistency between Regulatory Guide 1.29, as coranitted to -in FSAR Section 3.13, and the drawing classification of these pipe supports was documented by Bechtel gA on IOM 1237 dated July 16, 1979.
Specific pipe supports identified by the, licensee to possibly have incor rect seismic classification are included as Item No.
2905 on the system turnover exception form. 'his matter is considered unresolved pending resolution of the licensee's turnover exception item.
