Safety-Related Piping - Review of Quality Assurance Implementing Procedures (Units 1 and 2)
The inspector reviewed quality assurance implementing procedures for safety-related piping activities (other than welding) to assure that performance and control requirements had been established in accordance with NRC require-ments and PSAR commitments. The procedures and activities reviewed were as follows:
,
Procedures that control receiving inspections and contain provisions a.
to assure conformance with the purchase documents; and with requirements for marking and identification, cleanliness, surface protection, closures and packaging:
.
(1) MD-T-12 Rev. O with change notices through No. 2 (2) GD-A-30 Rev. O with change notices through No. 3 (3) MD-A-02 Rev. 2 (4)
X-5 (5/23/79)
b.
Procedures which cover storage and issue of piping and contain require-ments for segregation, storage identification, protection and issuing records:
(1) MD-T-12 Rev. O with change notices through No. 2 (2) MD-A-02 Rev. 2 (3) XIII-5 (6/2/78)
Procedures which cover handling of the piping during receipt inspection, c.
storage, issue and installation:
(1) GD-A-30 Rev. O with change notices through No. 3 (2) VII-2 (8/10/79)
(3) XIII-5 (6/2/78)
(4) XIII-9 (2/16/78)
.
d.
Procedures which cover installation of piping and contain provisions for hydrostatic testing, control of cold spring and installation records:
(1) MD-T-03 Rev. 0 (2) MD-T-04 Rev. 0 (3) IX-3 (6/15/78)
(4) General Welding Information (unnumbered, undated instructions provided to welders)

-3-Procedures that contain provisions for cleanliness of installed piping e.
during construction:
(1) XIII-4 (1/10/79)
The inspector found that instructions regarding cold spring were not provided in the work procedures utilized by licensee welding personnel and questioned the licensee regarding the area. The licensee informed the inspector that he intented to provide, training and instruction with regard to cold spring. The licensee added an instruction on cold spring to the document identified in 6.d.(4) during the inspection.
The inspector informed the licensee that training and instruction on control of cold spring would be examined further in subsequent inspec-tion and identified it as inspector followup item 424/425/80-02,02,
" Instructions and Training for Control of Cold Spring in Piping".
Within the areas reviewed no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
7.
Other Safety-Related Piping - Welding Procedure Specifications and Quality Assurance Procedures The inspector reviewed welding procedure specifications (WPS) and quality assurance procedures for welding of safety-related piping to verify proper procedure qualification and selding controls in accordance with the licensee's code requirements (ASME Section III (77W77)) and PSAR committments. The areas addressed and specific documents reviewed were as follows:
Preparation, qualification approval / certification, distribution and a.
revision of WPS's as covered by:
(1) Sections I and IX of the Pullman Power Products Mechanical Construction Operations, Corporate Field Nuclear Quality Assurance Program Manual, ASME Section III, Div.
1, with revisions through 3/29/79.
(2) Procedure GWS-CS-III (8/28/78)
(3) Procedure GWS-SS-III (7/7/78)
b.
Compliance with the documents in 7.a above, variables in accordance with ASME Section III, qualification in accordance with ASME Section IX, procedure qualification records with essential variables and mechanical test results per ASME Section IX, and compliance with PSAR Regulatory Guide commitmente as addressed in the general welding standard and two WPS exampics denoted below:
(1) General. Welding Standard GWS-III/I (9/12/79)

(2) WPS 24-III/I-8-KI-12 (9/20/79) with PQR 106 (3) WPS IT10-III/I-1-0B-1 (1/19/79) with PQR's 16A, 16B, 17A and 17B The inspector found that the licensee's WPS IT10-III/I-1-OB-1 did not appear to properly address ASME Section IX Supplementary Essential Variable 410.7.
The licensee stated he believed there had been a code interpretation indicating that this variable should only apply to automatic welding, where as, his procedure was for manual welding. He stated he would obtain this interpretation and furnish it to the inspector. As the interpretation was not furnished before the inspec-tion was -completed, the inspector indicated this would be an inspector followup item, identified 424/425/80-02-03, " Supplementary Essential Variable 410.7 Not Properly Addressed".
Within the areas reviewed no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
8.
Other Safety-Related Piping - Welding Material Control The inspector reviewed welding material control procedures and examined stored welding material intended for use in safety-related piping. The applicable code for safety-related piping is ASME Section III (77W77).
The following procedures were reviewed for adequate procedural require-a.
ments with regard to receiving, storage, distributing and handling of welding materials:
(1)
MD-T-12, Rev. O with change notices through No. 2 (2)
X-5 (5/23/79)
(3) VIII-3 (12/18/79)
b.
Procedure VIII-3 (12/18/79) was reviewed for proper storage require-ments with regard to holding and baking to limit moisture in the materials. Storage of welding materials was observed at the " Fab Shop" and " Field Rod Shacks".
In the contents of a Fab Shop oven used for storage of electrodes for safety-related pipe welding the inspec-tor noted that four electrodes of one heat or lot were apparently mixed with a much larger quantity of electrodes of another heat or lot.
The four had no heat, lot of control number identification on them, while the other electrodes were identified with a heat number -
this heat number was also recorded on the oven door. The coating on the four electrodes differed in color from that of the other electrodes.
Procedure VIII-3 requires that identification be maintained on the ovens to prevent mixing of different heat / lot / control numbers of electrodes. The mixing of electrodes observed by the inspector is a noncompliance with the requirements of this procedure and, therefc e, is a noncompliance with Criterian V of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B.
The licensee was informed that this noncompliance would be categorized as

an infraction, item 424/425/80-02-01. The licensee acknowledged the noncompliance with procedural requirements and instructed his personnel as to the proper procedural steps.
One item of noncompliance was identified, as described in 8.b.
No deviations were identified.
