l l The inspector also conferred with other licensee and contractor personnel during the course of the inspection period. The

! inspector attended several management meetings during the in- 't i spection period.

l Facility Tours The inspector observed work activities in progress, completed work and plant status in several areas of the plant during ( general inspections of the plant. The inspector examined work for any obvious defects or noncompliance with regulatory requirements or license conditions. Particular note was taken of the presence of quality control inspectors and

,

quality control evidence such as inspection records, material l identification, nonconforming material identification, house-keeping and equipment preservatio <

l - -.

r-2-Specifically the inspector observed the grouting by Peter Kiewet Sons' Inc. (PKS) of Pipe Hanger SW 4221-1 The grouting was done in accordance with the instructions in PED 210A-CS-028. A PKS quality control inspector was in-specting and documenting the proces No items of noncompliance or deviations were observe . Organization Effective April 12, 1982, Roger T. Johnson WNP-2 Quality Assurance Manager will report to Robert G. Glasscock, Director, Quality Assurance. R. T. Johnson previously reported to Robert G. Matlock, WNP-2 Program Directo . Reverification Program (RVP) The licensee has initiated an assessment of the Reverification Program. A Management Assessment Team consisting of four (4) WPPSS Quality Assurance personnel ,

are conducting interviews and observing the reinspection '

process of the RVP. The assessment team is reviewing the commitments, procedures and inspection activities of WPPSS, Bechtel Power Corporation and other site contractors and is conducting an in depth review and inspection of Fischbach/ Lord Electric Co. (F/L) (Electrical Contract No. 218). The team plans to issue its report in May, 198 The Reverification Report for Contract 2808-213A Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company (PDM), has been published. The summary, conclusions and recommendation as stated in the report are:

Summary PDM performed structural and mechanical work within the reactor building primary containment under Contract 213 The work completed by PDM prior to July, 1980 has been:

-reworked in accordance with CAR #28250;

-reverified by PDM; or-reverified by Bechte The items reverified by PDM are the weld pads and the pedestal connection The items reverified by Bechtel are the downcomers and the electrical penetration The results of the reinspections indicated PDM's quality program prior to July, 1980 failed to detect a number of minor deficiencies. These deficiencies were, for the most part, judged acceptable by the Architect Engineer (AE)

-3-Conclusions The following conclusions have been reached:

-The reverification of Contract 213A has been per-formed in accordance with the Supply System's quality "erification program; and-The safety-related work performed under Contract 213A prior to July, 1890 was. executed in an adequate manner and is acceptabl Recommendation This reverification report along with the attachments and references was recommended for acceptance as evidence that the safety-related work performed under Contract 213A was adequate. The Reverification System Report for the tower makeup system (System #55) by BPC on Contract 280 8-215, WSH/

B0 ECON /GERI (WBG) has been complete The report summary states:

"The work performed by WBG which is subject to reverification on the tower makeup system (System 55.0) consists of six Quality Class II Seismic Category I hanger One of.these hangers was selected for reverification and was reinspected by Bechtel quality control. A number of' deficiencies were found with the welds on this hanger. All the remaining physical attributes were found to be satisfactory. The welds on all the remaining hangers were inspected by Bechtel quality control. A technical review of all the documentation was performed by Bechtel quality" control. All of the documen-tation packages were acceptable. The inspector accompanied BPC quality control surveillance personnel who were conducting a reverification inspection of piping and field welds in the service water makeup system pumphouse lA (Syst'em #58). The BPC surveillance personnel did not have the documentation package for the system they were inspecting. However, to expedite the reverification process, when the documentation is not available, the quality control surveillance per-sonnel conduct a detailed and thorough inspection of the area as required by the " Quality Control Inspection Record." The results of the inspection are compared with the documentation when the documentation package becomes availabl .

-4-The surveillance personnel found some minor discrepancies and one spool piece which had the wrong identificatio Follow-up action to correct these discrepanties has been initiated by BP The inspector observed that the quality control surveillance personnel were extremely thorough in performing the re-quired inspection . Voids in Concrete in Turbine Generator Building The inspector was informed that there were voids in the ceiling concrete at elevation 441-feet, coordinates E-12 and in the floor at a column base at elevation 471.-feet, coordinates E-1 The licensee reviewed concrete placement records, interviewed personnel, inspected the areas identified and reviewed as-auilt drawings. The results were presented to the inspector who reviewed the records and also inspected the areas. No deficiencies were identified in the records and no evidence of concrete voids was found. This item is unsubstantiate . Overheating on Sacrificial Shield Wall The inspector was informed on April 9, 1982, that an overheating of the sacrificial shield wall had occurred on April 6, 1982. A thermocouple, which was being used in conjuction with other thermo-couples to monitor weldi g preheat temperature had become dislodged sometime on the 12-8am shift on April 6, 1982. It sensed ambient air temperature, allowing the controller to come on attempting to maintain a controlled temperature. The controller was secured at 8:00a The maximum tgmperature measured by qualitycontrolpersonnelwasg80 at 8:30am (The minimum /

maximum allowable is 225 F/350 F). The metal of the sacrificial shield wall had turned blue and copper re Some NS-1, a filler compound used inside the wall, was observed coming out some of the filler holes as a result of thermal expansio The licensee directed Bechtel to immediately install charts in the recorders. In addition quality control surveillance would be provided on the back shift Recorder charts will be monitored at all times except for lunch periods, shift changes, etc. The inspector subsequently learned that there were at least five (5) instances where overheating had occurred on Class 1 systems. The inspector informed the licensee that the lack of control of special processes such as heat treating was contrary to 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion IX, Control

_

-5-of Special Processes. The licensee stated that they were also concerned about this lack of control by BPC and had issued Management Corrective Action Report No. 2 concerning excessive preheat temperatures on the sacrificial shield wall. The in-spector informed the licensee that this item will remain un-resolved pending clarification of action on overheating and verification that the special processes are controlled and accomplished by qualified personnel using qualified procedure (Unresolved Item 50-397/82-09/01)

7. Unresolved Items Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required in order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, items of noncompliance, or deviations. An unresolved item disclosed during the inspection is discussed in Para-graph 6.

8. Management Meeting The inspector met with licensee management identified in paragraph 1, on April 30, 1982, to discuss status of his inspection efforts and to receive a status report of prin-cipal WPPSS activities.
