Licensee's Action on Previous Ins ection Findin s (Closed)
Noncompliance (387/79-14-01):
Failure to inspect pipe spool for cleanliness prior to closure by welding.
The licensee stated in his response that:
(1) NCR-3618 was issued to document the condition and that the valve directly adjacent to the weld joint would be disassembled and inspected for cleanliness; and (2) an interoffice memorandum would be issued to emphasize the need for notification of quality control when cleanliness boundaries are violated.
The inspector examined NCR-3618 for verification of the disposition and its adequacy.
He also reviewed the guality Control Inspection Record No. 49.0-M204, dated January 3,
1980, and the guality Assurance Letter - 702 which verified the cleanliness of the valve and that it had been monitored.
He verified that an interoffice memorandum was issued on March 22, 1979, noti-fying all quality control and welding engineers to be aware of the need to renotify quality control of cleanliness boundary violations.
Since the occurrence of this item, the inspector has made special efforts to recognize similar noncompliances; none were identified.
This item is considered closed.
(Closed)
Unresolved Item (387/79-14-02):
Welding Procedure Specification Pl-AT-LH-CVN impact test requirements.
The foregoing welding procedure..
was used to weld Pl group 1 material to Pl group 2 material.
It appeared that the ASME Code,Section IX required separate qualification for these materials.
Code reviews and NRC evaluation have found this practice ac-ceptable in this specific use.
This item is considered close.
Plant Tour The inspector toured the Unit
and 2 facilities observing work in progress, completed work and evidence of quality control activities.
It was noted that a large number of pipe caps were missing from the Unit No.
2 Primary Building area.
Reinspection after normal working hours disclosed that...a significant number of pipe caps were not replaced.
Further inspection disclosed that...the 1'icensee has established an inspection program which does identify this kind of a deficiency.
Records are available to show that this condition is regularly identified, proper supervisors notified, and corrective action taken.
However, it did not appear that sufficient cooperation and com-pliance was being given the program by construction forces.
The licensee issued an interoffice memorandum, dated April 23, 1980, em-phasizing the responsibility of construction supervisors to maintain pro-tective covers.
The inspector had no further questions at this time.
I No items of noncompliance were identified.
4.
PP&L ualit Assurance Audit Pro ram
,
The PPSL guality Assurance program was reviewed for audit area and frequency.
These attributes were verified to comply with the PSAR, Appendix 0 and
CFR 50, Appendix B requirements.
No items of noncompliance were identified.
Facilit Turnover Activities In preparation for changing NRC facility construction inspectors, a large part of the inspector's time was devoted to the review of outstanding items.
6.
Exit Interview The inspector met with the licensee's staff members (denoted in paragraph 1) on April 24, 1980, at the conclusion of the inspection.
He summarized the scope and findings of the inspection.
