(0 pen) IE Bulletin 79-02:

Pipe Support Base Plate Designs Using Concrete Expansion Anchors. All of the concrete expansion anchors used by the licensee were the wedge type (Hilti "Kwi k Bol ts").

A 100 percent reinspection had been performed on all of the installed expan-sion anchors. The licensee stated that all of the anchors installed since the reinspection and any installed in the future (a small amount of construction remains to be completed, plus some modifications to Lexisting structures) will be inspected to the same criteria in order to meet the requirem? qts of IEB 79-02.

The wedge type concrete expansion anchors require a safety factor of four.

In a response from the licensee to IEB 79-02, dated May 5.1979, a sample of bolts from 96 base plates (out of a population of 700)

revealed that approximately 10% were below the required safety factor of four.

In an additional response to 79-02 and 79-14, dated-August 17, 1979, the licensee agreed to either add additional supports or make modifications where the engineering design analysis indicated a safety factor-below four.

This decision was reaffirmed by the licensee.

'

Hilti expansion anchors were inspected on the following hangers:

(1) Hanger No. BRH-026 in the Boron Recycle System (2) Hanger.No. CCH-269 in the Component Cooling System (3) Hanger No. CCH-4002 in the Component Cooling System

.To further assure that the licensee had performed adequate inspections and ' corrective actions, the inspectors examined approximately 100-nonconformance and deficiency notices concerning the Hilti Bolt instal-lations.

.

This Bulletin will remain open until all anchor bolts are installed and

'

until modifications are made to ensure a safety factor of four.

Within the areas examined, no violations or deviations were identified.

c.

(0 pen) IE Bulletin 79-14: _ Seismic Analysis for As-Built Safety-Related Piping Systems.

The systems subject to a walkdown inspection are provided by GAI to Daniels Construction Company (DCC).

Daniels then prepares isometric drawings for the walkdown inspections. Another DCC group performs the inspections by measuring, locating, and identifying all of the compon-ents along the' isometrics. The isometrics are then revised to depict the actual as-built system. The two following procedures that related to these inspections were reviewed:

(1) Procedure No.

AP-III-03, " Preparation of Field Drawing and Sketches," Rev 7-(2) Procedure No. AP-III-04, " Field Engineering (Survey)" Rev. 7 Three isometrics with as-built dimensions were reviewed:

(1) MS 710, Rev. 6G, Main Steam System-(2) DE-MS-68, Rev. 3, Main Steam System (Revised dimensions on drawing to reflect as-built dimension per FCRB 12PO4-H)

(3) CS-09, Rev. 2C, Chemical System Isometric CS-09, Rev. 2 was walked down with a DCC survey team and the recorded as-built parameters were verified.

The licensee performs the inspections on the concrete anchor bolts (IEB 73-02) and on the hangers (IEB 79-14). The following SCE&G procedures relating to these inspections were reviewed:

(1)

Procedure No. 6.3.1, " Inspection of Fabrication and Installation of Pipe Hangers and Supports", Rev. TA2 (2)

The' QC personnel performing inspections on concrete anchors and hangers had been trained to licensee's procedure Nos. 6.3.1 and MF-9.

The

' training records of the ' QC technician that performed the walkdown inspections of the above five listed hangers were examined and his training to these procedures was verified.

In addition to being. knowledgeable of procedures, the inspectors had been trained by performing inspections on "model" hanger installations and actual. installations under the supervision of a qualified inspector.

Results of their inspections were compared with the known

parameters of the hangers. If the inspection results were compatible with the known parameters, the inspectors were considered trained and qualified to perform inspections of installed hangers and supports.

IE Bulletin 79-14 will remain open until all walkdown inspections are completed and the resolutions of problems as described' in the licensee's letter to Region II dated March 19, 1981 have been

- completed.

Within the areas examined, no violations or deviations were identified.
