(2) Liquid Penetrant Examination (PT)
Item N Weld Component Comments CO2.021.051A 1ACCB-02 *See note above No relevant-13 indications C02.021.301 INIl7-06 Safety No relevant Injection indications Tank 1B Terminal End in reference to these examinations the inspector noted the following:
- The liquid penetrant examination of weld INIl7-06 was identified in the ISI plan under item C05.011.301. The weld was described as a 10" diameter terminal weld to the Safety accumulator (NI), tank 18. In the field, the inspector noted the presence of a short pipe section about 11" long thought to be a safe-end attached between the NI tank nozzle and the 10" diameter pipe. The weld surface between this short pipe section (safe-end) and the nozzle appeared to be in the as welded condition while the weld between the safe-end to pipe had been ground smooth in preparation for ,
inservice inspection. Prior to the inspection, the NDE technicians and the inspector attempted to locate the weld number of either or both of these welds, but were unsuccessful. Because of the apparent inability to verify, in the field, which one of the aforementioned two welds was item CO2.021.301 (terminal weld INIl7-06) the technicians decided to PT both welds rather than take a chance of examining the wrong weld. Following. completion of the examination, the inspector asked the ISI coordinator, about the examination status of the subject safe end weld In .
response to this question, the licensee's representative stated that a record review showed the safe-end welds in each of the four NI accumulator tanks in Unit I and 2 had been examined during the preservice inspection effort, but for some unknown reason they had been left off the ISI Pla The inspector informed the licensee that failure to include code required inspections in the ISI plan is in violation of
_
IWA-1400 of ASME Code Section XI 1980 Edition and was reported to the licensee as violation 50-413,414/93-32-01, Failure to Include Code Required Welds Subject to Examination in Facility ISI Pla _ . .
.
e Weld Identification & Referencing System Procedure NDE-90 describes methods to be used for marking / identifying welds and for laying-out referencing of welds subject to UT examination per the ISI plans. In the field, the inspector noted that weld C02.021.051 scheduled for UT had not been laid out with center line referencing marks as described in the above procedure. The reason given was that the weld had been previously stamped around its circumference for radiography and those numbers could be used for this purpose. However, these numbers were located on the edge of the weld and not include in the geometric center as described in the procedure. In reference to the PT'd welds, the inspector and the NDE technician tried '
unsuccessfully to locate the identification number for each !
of the subject weld Discussions with the NDE technicians ,
disclosed that site / Duke fabricated welds were required to be identified using either low stress punches or vibrio tools for numbering purposes. Vendor welds retained the identification number stamped on the component / weld by the ;
manufacture. However, in the case of the subject welds, the >
inspector noted that neither the Duke weld (terminal weld) ,
nor the safe-end weld (vendor weld) were clearly identifie l In the inspector's view this lack of. clear weld ;
identification contributed in part to the confusion over '
which of the two welds were to be liquid penetrant examined as discussed earlier. With regards to the lack of-centerline referencing marks on weld 002.021.051, it appears that the level II examiners decided the RT referencing j numbers provided adequate referencing points for plotting i purpose Because the subject weld had been ground flush, t and the weld edges were readily visible, the inspector agreed with the examiner's decision. However, the inspector cautioned against following this practice since weld edges ;
are not as easily discernable in many similarly finished ;
welds. The described lack of consistency in weld l identification and referencing was identified to the j licensee as a programmatic weakness requiring appropriate I action to preclude possible problems in this are (3) Magnetic Particle (MT) Examination The inspector observed MT examination performed on the welds 'l listed below: '

The observations were compared with the applicable procedures and the Code in the following areas: examination methods; contrast' of dry powder particle color with background; surface temperature; viewing conditions; examination overlap and directions; pole or prod spacing; lifting power.(yoke); and acceptance criteri Although the examinations met applicable procedure and code requirements, the inspector noted the following technique weaknesses:
e On previous ISI inspections, NRC inspectors have noted that the licensee's MT examiners prefer to use gray magnetic particles (powder), when performing the subject. examinations. During this inspection, the inspector noted that the above welds had been ground *
smooth.to a bright metal finish. As such the inspector observed that the hue / tint of the weld and the powder were similar in that both were in the gray color range which did not appear to meet the intent of adequate contrast with the surface being examined as stated in T-753, of the ASME Code V. In this inspector's view, the better color selection would have been red powder which would have provided significantly better contrast. This inspector discussed this concern with the licensee's level III examiner responsible for this activit He acknowledged that this matter had been discussed previously with other NRC inspectors and reiterated the position taken on this matter. Basically, the position stated in part that gray magnetic particles were acceptable provided it (powder) provided adequate contrast to distinguish indication from the surface background. The choice of particle color was left to the technician. In most cases the color chosen has ,
been gray. This inspector disagreed with this position because the position was not a documented part of the approved procedure. The position provides no specific instructions to the technician, as to the color of powder to be used for specific conditions i.e., bright metal, mill surface et This inspector's position is that these decisions should be made at the corporate level (i.e. Level III corporate)
and implemented by approved procedure (s), rather than letting them be made at the technician level The inspector suggested that if the licensee wished to continue the present practice they should be prepared to prove, by demonstration, the adequacy of using gray magnetic particles over a wide color spectrum of welds and materials under field conditions. The licensee agreed to pursue this matter further, and report back during a future RII, inspection. This matter was
.-

identified to the licensee as an unresolved item pending NRC review of the licensee's action (s) on this matter. This issue was identified as unresolved item ;

Data acquisition and analysis were being performed in accordance with procedures identified earlier in this report. Controlling documents / code by reference, include ASME Code Section XI (80W80), Regulatory Guide 1.83 July 1975, Code Case N-401, Digitized Data Collection for Eddy Current Examination, and proposed amendments to Technical Specifications (T.S.) 4.4.5.2, dated October 5, 1993, renewal of Steam Generator Tube Interim Plugging Criteria for Unit 1 Cycle The submittal, requests renewal of the voltage based steam generator tub interim plugging criteria (IPC) for use during cycle This submittal was undergoing NRR staff review during the time of this inspection effor For this outage, adoption of the T.S. amendment means that tubes with flaw 1.idications, with a bobbin coil measured voltage less than or equal to 1.0 volt, can remain in service without further action. Tubes with flaw indications (bobbin coil measured value) in excess of 1.0 volt but less than 2.7 volts, can remain

inspection of the indication does not detect Outer Diameter Stress Corrosion Cracking (0DSCC) or any other degradation mode. Crack indications, in tubes (bobbin coil measured value), above 2.7 volts will be plugged or repaired by. sleeving, and do not require RPC confirmation. As such the licensee was performing a 100% bobbin coil inspection for all tube support plate (TSP) intersections and all cold leg TSP intersections down to the lowest cold leg tube support ;
plate with ODSCC indications. An inspection using the i RPC probe was being performed on tubes with flaw like l bobbin coil signal amplitudes > 1.0 volt but < l volts. RPC data was being evaluated to establish l whether principal indications could be characterized i as ODSCC. Also, the subject proposed T.S. amendment 1 requires the licensee to report, to the commission, results for all tubes, in which the TSP intersection !
