Independent Inspection The inspector conducted a walk-through inspection of the reactor, a.
auxiliary, and intermediate buildings; observed construction activities, construction progress, and work practices; and talked to various craft and inspection personnel. The inspectors witnessed repair of undersize socket welds and visual and liquid penetrant inspection of repaired socket welds.
