Independent Inspection Effort

'a.

Construction Progress (Units 1 and 2) The inspector conducted a general inspection of the Unit.1 and 2 containments, au dliary building, piping fat rication shop and fuel buildings. to' obsene construction progress and construction activities such as weldir.g, fitting material handling and control, housekeeping and storage, b.

Material Handling and St9 rage

!'

The inspector, on December 19, 1979, observed two separate piping assemblies (10" & 14" diameter, stainless steel) in the reactor coolant system supported from two cable tray supports on both sides of third loop steam generator in unit I containment. In addition the inspector

,

i noted that the 14" assembly was suspended by carbon steel chain with multiple raps in direct contact with the assembly.

The inspector further noted that there was damaged pipe cap on a 10" diameter pipe j

leading to the third loop cold leg. The licensee stated that there i

were no procedures established to prohibit rigging from installed i

equipme'nt and materials.

Failure to establish adequate measures to control handling and storage of equipment and materials is in noncompliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix

"B" Criterion XIII. This is an infraction and is assigned item no.

'

50-413/79-23-01: " Failure to establish adequate measures for handling and storage of Equipment and Materials."

c.

Welding Filler Material Control

{

The inspector, on December 18, 1979 observed welding on new fuel i

storage racks. Inspection of the electrodes used for the above welding

'

indicated that the electrodes had been reconditioned in a high tempera-ture oven at 725 125F. The inspector noted that the oven was not included in the DPC calibration - program, and further that the DPC calibration program did ' not address measurement accuracy tolerance requirements - for instruments as a criterion for inclusion of that instrument into the calibration program. The licensee indicated that they would:look further into the matter. The inspector stated that above would be an unresolved item and identified as 50-413/79-23-02, 50-414/79-23-01: "High Temperature Oven Calibration".
