Review of Pro ram Plan The inspector reviewed the licensee's Preservice Inspection Program Plan for conformance with the ASME code Section XI, 1974 edition through Summer 1975 addenda,
CFR 50 Appendix B, and the licensee's quality assurance program.
The areas reviewed included program approval, OA program requirements, scope of insoection, inspection intervals and extent of examinations, personnel qualification requirements, and provisions for record generation, control and storage.
The inspector found the program plan in conformance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix 8 and the licensee's quality assurance program.
Exceptions

'u
to ASME Code Section XI requirements are listed and explained.
The inspector noted that paragraph 6.3.
RPV Examination, specifies that a "fit and function" test of all mechanized equipment to be used in service will be performed during the preservice inspection.
The licensee intends to use manual preservice examination data for the preservice inspection.
ASME Section XI, subarticle IWB-2100(b) states, in part, that..."shop and field examinations may serve in lieu of the on site preservice ex'amination provided,... that such examinations are conducted under conditions and with equipment and techniques equivalent to those that are expected to be employed for subsequent inservice examinations."
This requirement is interpreted by HPPSS guality Assurance Procedure No. 14, Preservice and In-Service Inspection, paragraph 3.2.4b which states
"That examination and inspection activities performed during the preservice phase employ techniques, and yield the type of data, that can be utilized during the in-service phase of the examination and inspection activities."
Since mechanized equipment is expected to be employed for inservice examinations, the use of manual examination data appears to be an exception to the ASME Code.
This item is considered unresolved pending an interpretation of the code requirement.

Observation of Mork and Mork Activities The inspector observed ultrasonic and liquid penetrant examination of the following pipe welds:
S stem and Meld No.
Recirculation outlet - 24RRC(2)B 6LU Examination
and 45 ultrasonic-longitudinal seam RHR loop 8 Drywell Spray - 16 RHR(5) 8-2 Liquid Penetrant RHR loop 8 from HX-18 and shutdown cooling return 16 RHR(5) 8-1 RHR loop 8, supply to RHR HX-18-
RHR (1) 8-79 Liquid Penetrant Liquid Penetrant Examinations were performed by certified examiners in accordance with procedures UTP-10 (ultrasonic)
and PTP-1 (liquid penetrant).
The liquid penetrant examination of weld 16 RHR(5)82 revealed three rejectable linear indications ranging in length from 4 to 24 inches.
The indications are typical of those found in other class
RHR and main steam pi ping and class
RHR piping.
The indications are normally located in pipe base material but sometimes extend into the weld

examination area of interest.
Nonconformance report no. 2808-05674 has been issued to document the flaw indications and Project Engineering Directive (PED) 215-M-1361 has been issued to investigate the depth and the ultrasonic detectability of the indications and to remove the flaw indications.
The results of these investigations will be examined during a subsequent inspection.

Exit Interview This inspection was concluded on November 28, 1979 to investigate irregul-arities in the pipe whip restraint and sacrificial shield wall quality assurance records as described in inspection report 50-397/79-17.
At the conclusion of the inspection a meeting was held with licensee and Burns and Roe representatives as denoted in paragraph 1.
The activities covered during the inspection and observations and findings of the inspector were discussed.
