Unresolved. items are matters about which more information is required to determine whether they are acceptable or may involve noncompliance or deviations..
New unresolved'tems-identified during this inspection are discussed in Paragraph 6a(l).
Independent, Inspection Effort (Units 1, 2, 3 and 4)
The inspector conducted a general inspection of'he power block construction site,, the pipe fabrication shop, the pipe storage area and the main and west auxiliary dams to observe. construction progress and construction activties
h
such as welding, nondestructive examination, material handling and control, housekeeping and storage.
Within.,the areas examined, no violations or deviations were identified.
6'.
Safety-Related Piping The inspector observed non-welding and welding work activities..for safety-realted piping as described below to determine whether applicable, code and procedure requirements were being met'.
The applicable code for safety-related, piping is the ASME B and PV Code, 1974 edition with addenda through winter 1976'.

With regard to the. above inspection, the inspector was. informed, by several piping supervisors, that their men used'i'ed pencils to make temporary fitting marks on stainless steel piping.
CP5L Pro-cedure: WP-112, Rev..

3,, is the CP5L procedure that specifies approved marking materials for stainless steel.
Red'encils are not included in PGD-005.
The inspector noted that very little safety-related'tainless..
steel piping has been worked at. the site.
.The licensee indicated
that they would look further into the matter to determine whether safety related work is involved.
The inspector stated that the
'bove would be an unresolved item and identified 400/80-27-03, 401, 402, 403/80-25-03:
"Unauthorized Marking Materials Used on Stainless Steel".
b.
Observation of Welding Activities The inspector observed in-process welding activities of safety-related piping field welds as described below to determine whether applicable
code and procedure requirements were being met.
(1)
Welding The below listed welds were examined in process to determine whether work was conducted in accordance with travelers;. welder identification and-location; welding procedure; WPS assignment welding technique and sequence; materials identify; weld geometry; fit-up; temporary attachments; gas purging; preheat; electrical characteristics; shielding gas; welding equipment condition; interpass temperature; interpass cleaning; process control systems;. identity of welders; qualification of inspection person-nel; and weld history records.

Wel'd Heat-'reatment The. inspector reviewed the. CP5L program for weld heat treatment for compliance with QA procedure and Code requirements.
The welds listed in paragraph 6b(1)
were examined in process relative to weld joint preheating to determine; procedures available; proce-dures specify acceptable.
preheating method; procedures provide monitoring and.recording requirements and procedure compliance.
(3)
Welding Qualification The inspector reviewed the CP&L program for qualification of welders and welding operators for compliance with QA procedures and ASME Code requirements.
Welder Qualification is controlled by CPKL Procedure MP-02, Rev. 6,
"Qualification of Welders and Welding Operators".
(a)
The following welder qualification status records and
"Records of Performance gualification Test." were reviewed
-'elative to the. weld. joint listed in'Paragraph 6b(l).

Wi'th regard-to the above inspection
. the inspector noted following:.
I'--. The bend specimens of paragraph 6b(3)(c)
above varied
,. from. 0.262.".'o 0.363"'hick.,
As referenced by CP5L Procedure MP-02,. ASMEection IX, (figure gW 462.2(a))
.and AWS Dl. 1 (figure 5. 10.3j) both specify that side
- bend speciments.shall be 3/8" thick.
2.'he Li'censee. stated that they had no procedural require-
. ment'for bend specimen-thickness tolerence.
3),
The: bend 'specimens of paragrapgh 6b(3)(c)
were not marked. so it could not be determined which specimens
- went with which welder.
MP-02 does not required bend
'pecimens to be marked'.,
The above condition caused, a
loss of control of specimen identity.
MP-02 requires qualificati'on test assemblies to be marked with welder identification upon completion of welding. 'ailure to mark quali.fication test assemblies
with welder identification and position of the test assembly prior to the commencement of welding, could result in loss of control of.the welder taking the test and the position in which the test was administered.
Therefore, procedure MP-02 is inadequate in that it does not provide effective 'control of bend specimen thick-ness, bend specimen identity, and welder qualification test assembly identity.
Failure to prescribe activities affecting quality by documented procedures or instructions is in violation of 10CFR50, Appendix B Criterion V.
The inspector stated that the above violation would be identified 400/80-27-02, 401, 402, 403/80-25-02:
"Inadequate Procedure for Welder gualification".
(4)
The inspector reviewed the CP8L program for control of welding materials to determine whether materials are being purchased, accepted, stored and handled in accordance with gA procedures and applicable code requirements.
The following specific areas were examined:
Purchasing, receiving, storing, distributing and hand-ling, procedures; material identification; and inspection of welding material issuing stations.
Welding material purchasing and receiving records for the foll'owing materials were reviewed for conformance with applicable procedures and code requirements:
