APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Iight Company Shearon Harris License Nos.

CPPR-158 CPPR-159 CPPR-160 CPPR-161 Based on the NRC inspection January 2-4, 1980, certain of your activities were apparently not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indicated below.

These items have been categorized as described in correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.

As required by Criterion V of Appendix B to

CFR 50, implemented by Carolina Power and Light PSAR Section 1.8.5.5, "Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures or drawings,....

and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures or drawings."

Shearon Harris Specification CAR-SH"CH-6, "Concrete" requires curing of concrete test cylinders to be in accordance with ASTM C192.

ASTM C192 requires concrete cylinder to be stored in a moist room meeting the requirements of ASTM C511.

ASTM C511 requires that moisture in the curing room atmosphere be saturated to the degree needed to ensure that the exposed surfaces of all cylinders in storage will both look moist and feel moist at all times.

Contrary to the above, on January 4, the surface of cylinder numbers 4818 through 4849 and cylinder numbers 4707 through 4757 stored in the concrete laboratory curing room were dry.

Exit Interview The inspection scope and findings were summarized on January 4, 1980, with those persons indicated in Paragraph 1 above.

The licensee acknowledged the noncompliance discussed in paragraph 5.

Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspectio Independent Inspection Effort The inspector examined the following areas:

a. 'onstruction Status b.

Soils and concrete laboratories and currentness of calibration of lab-oratory equipment.

c.

Partial placement and curing of pour number 1 TKIW 258001, an interior wall in the tank building d.

Reinforcing steel laydown areas.

Examination of the curing of conrete cylinder in the Environmental Center concrete laboratory disclosed the following noncompliance:

Specification CAR-SH-CH-6 requires curing of concrete cylinders to be in accordance with-ASTM C 192.

ASTH C 192 requires concrete cylinders to be stored in a moist room meeting the requirements of ASTM C 511.

ASTM C 511 requires that mois-ture in the curing room atmosphere be saturated to the degree needed to ensure that the exposed surfaces of all cylinders in storage willboth look moist and feel moist at all times.

On January 4, 1980, the inspector observed that the surfaces of cylinder numbers 4818 through 4849 and cylinders numbers 4707 through 4757 stored in the concrete curing room looked and felt dry.

This was identified to the licensee as Deficiency Item 400/80-01-01, 401/80"01-01, 402/80-01-01, and 403-80-01-01,

"Improper curing of conrete cylinders in the concrete laboratory".

No deviations were identified.

Lakes, Dams and Canals - Observation of Work and Work Activities Units 1, 2, 3, and 4 The inspector observed placement, compaction and quality control testing of impervious fillin the west auxiliary dam. Fill activities were continously monitored by construction inspectors.

Acceptance criteria for dam embankment fillactivities examained by the inspector appear in PSAR Appendix 2E, SER Section 2.7, EBASCO specification CAR-SH-CH-4, CPS Procedure TP-08 and drawing numbers CAR-2167-G-6270, 6171, 6272 and 6273.

The inspector also witnessed partial placement of pour number WAD ST 020, a

mass concrete pour in the OG section of the west auxiliary dam spillway.

Forms were tight, clean, and level.

Placement activities pertaining to delivery time, free fall, flow distance, layer thickness and consolidation conformed to specification requirments.

Concrete placement activities were continously monitored by inspectors.

Examination of batch tickets indicated that the specified design mix was being delivered.

Samples of plastic con-crete were tested in accordance with specification requirements.

The test results indicated that the plastic concrete being placed met the mass concrete specification requirements for slump, air content and temperature.

Examination of the batch plant indicated mater'ials were being controlled and accurate batch records were being generated.

Licensee Identified Item (10 CFR 50.55(e))

Prior to this inspection, the licensee identified the following items under 10 CPR 50.55(e):

a ~

(Open) (401/79-23-02),

Omission of rebar in the Unit 2 reactor auxiliary south shear wall In order to confirm the repair procedure for the omitted rebars, test bars were installed on November 27, 1979, and pull tests were performed on these bars on December 28, 1979.

The inspector examined the test bar installation to confirm that structural cracking of the grout had not occurred during the pull test.

The inspector reviewed a draft of the test report and reviewed the pull test data.

The final report will be submitted for review to EBASCO Engineering and NRC Region II. Installation of the repair bars will follow engineering evaluation of the pull test data and Region II concurrence.

Installation of the test bars and the pull tests was observed by Region II inspector during previous inspections.

b.

(Open) Item (400/401/80-02-01),

Rejectable cadwelds accepted by qualified inspectors.

Region II was notified on December 20, 1979 that

'a potentially reportable deficiency involving cadwelds had been found by the licensee.

A newly qualified inspector accepted three cadwelds in the Unit 1 reactor containment wall which were later rechecked and found to be rejectable.

The licensee made a recheck of all work accepted by the new inspector, and a spot recheck of cadwelds accepted by other qualified inspectors.

The

spot recheck of the other inspector's work disclosed that they too, had accepted cadwelds which were rejectable.

Based on this, a complete reinspection was made of all cadwelds not embedded in concrete.

The results of the reinspection were as follows:

(3)

Unit 2 Containment Building - Exterior Wall No rejectable cadwelds were found during the reinspection of the 105 cadwelds which have been installed to date in the wall of this structure.

With the exception of one rejected cadweld which contained slag "at the tap hole, the remaining rejected cadwelds contained excessive voids in the bar ends.

Two inspectors had accepted 34 of the 50 rejectable cadwelds.

The remaining 16 were inspected and accepted by 7 other inspectors.

The inspectors have been retrained and inspection methods have been stand-ardized to avoid acceptance of rejectable cadwelds in the future.

The rejectable cadwelds have been or will be cut out of the structure and replaced with new cadwelds.

As many as possible of the rejectable cadwelds will be pull tested to destruction to determine whether or not they would have performed as intended even though they did not meet the visual inspection (acceptance)

criteria.

The inspector witnessed tensile testing of three of the rejected cadweld splices.

Tensile strengths of these and of six other rejected cadwelds which had been tested as of this inspection date exceeded the specification requirements.

Upon completion of the tensile testing of the rejectable cadwelds, an engineering evaluation will be performed to determine the effect of the rejectable cadwelds on the integrity of structures involved.
