(Closed) Violation (413, 414/81-14-01):
Inadequate measures to assure
,
adequate evaluation of a nonconforming condition.
Licensee actions
concerning this item have been clarification of the affected noncon-
forming item report (NCI), personnel training, revision of the
!

procedure for control of filler material, and training of appropriate personnel.
The inspector verified these actions and considers them to be satisfactory.
c.
(Closed) Violation (413, 414/81-24-02):
Inadequate evaluation of lack of fusion weld defect.
Licensee actions concerning this item have been advising of appropriate personnel of the proper steps to follow in evaluating rejectable defects, repair of the affected weld, and establishing a method of evaluating weld root defect nonconformances to ensure proper evaluation.
The inspector verified these actions and considers them to be satisfactory.
4.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required to determine whether they are acceptable or may involve violations or devia-ti ons. New unresolved items identified during this inspection are discussed in paragraphs 6.b. and 9.b.
5.
Independent Inspection Efforts (Units 1 and 2)
a.
The inspector conducted general inspections of site work and work activities; observed protection and storage of mechanical equipment, electrical equipment, electrical cables, instrumentation and piping; and observed housekeeping. These inspections were performed in the auxiliary building, containment buildings, pipe fabrication shop and storage areas.
!
b.
The inspector attended an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board prehearing conference on January 12, 1982.
I
!
c.
On January 20, 1982, the inspector noted numerous graphite type pencil l
markings on a Unit 1 safety-related 12" stainless steel pipe identified on ISO Drawing No. IND43.
The applicable site procedure for control of surface applied materials, CP-479, Rev. 4; does not allow use of graphite type pencils on stainless steel material.
This is in violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V which requires activities affecting quality to be performed in accordance with established procedures.
This is a Violation (413/82-03-03): Use of unapproved marker on stainless steel piping.
No violations or deviations except as identified in paragraph 5.c., were identified.
6.
Nonconforming Item Report Review (Units 1 and 2)
a.
The inspector reviewed numerous nonconforming item reports (NCI's) to determine if requirements were met in the areas of documentation, approvals, evaluation, justification, and corrective action.

b.
On January 19, 1982 the inspector noted that NCI No.s 13507 and 13527 identify defects in hanger material welds possibly rejectable to Code
.
requirements (AS!1E Section III, Subsection NF).
It is not clear in the
.
justification for acceptance that code rejectable defects are not present in the hanger material.
This item will be unresolved until t
adequate justification for acceptance can be verified.
This is an Unresolved Item (413, 414/82-03-01):
Clarification of NCI evaluations
'
!
concerning hanger material.
'
Ho violations or deviations were identified.

8.
Reactor Vessel Internals - Observation of Welding and Nonwelding Activities
(Unit 1)
The inspector observed work in progress for installation of reactor vessel lower internals being accomplished in accordance with Westinghouse Spec-ification No. C16A407G01, Rev. 9,; site procedure CP-639, Rev. O, and Westinghouse Drawing 6120E24, Sub 8.
The inspector observed torqueing of
,

No violations or deviations were identified.
9.
Safety-Related Components - Observation of Work and Work Activities (Unit 1)
I a.
The inspector observed four installed Unit 1 safety-related Limitorque motor operated valves for conformance to requirements in the areas of protection from surrounding construction activities (dirt, debris, water, etc), removal or retention of dessicants as applicable, and energizing of heaters.
Valves observed were Tag Nos.1NI54A,1NI76A,
1RN47A, and 1RH57A.
i b.
On January 6, 1982 the inspector noted oil in the limit switch compartment of valves IMI54A and li1I76A.
On January 7, 1982 the inspector noted oil in the limit switch compartment of valve 1RN47A.
The inspector noted that oil leakage of Limitorque valves had resulted in a 10 CFR 50.55(e) report for the licensee's McGuire plant on
i October 21, 1981. The licensee infomed the inspector that they were i

aware of the problem and were still evaluating the problem for Catawba at the time the inspector identified the oil leaks. The licensee
,
phoned a 10 CFR 50.55(e) report regarding the oil leaks at Catawba to
'
HRC:RII on January 21, 1982. This item will be unresolved until a
.
complete and adequate evaluation of this problem can be verified. This is an Unresolved Item (413, 414/81-03-02):

Safety-Related Structures - Observation of Welding and Honwelding Activities (Unit 1)
a.
The inspector observed modifications in progress of fuel pool gate 1A being accomplished in accordance with drawing CNM 1144.28-006, Rev. C; drawing CNF01438.31-30G, Rev. 3; and welding code AWS-D1.1-1975.
The inspector observed this work for requirements in the areas of mechanical and welding inspection, use of specified materials, in process documentation, use of latest drawings, appearance of welds, performance of required NDE, weld and welder identification, welding material control, welder qualification, and inspector qualification.
The inspector observed weld Nos. A83 thru A95, A4, A13, and A102.
b.
On January 6,1982 the inspector noted that Fona M18A, Structural Steel Fabrication and Erection Inspection Report was not issued to cover the
fuel pool gate modification work and, as a result, the required structural inspections were not being performed. These requirements are delineated in site Construction QA Procedure 1118, Rev. 8, Inspection of Structural Steel Fabrication and Erection. This is in violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V which requires activities affecting quality to be accomplished in accordance with established procedures.
