Reactor Coolant Loop and Other Safety-Related Piping - Welding Procedure Specific. tions and Quality Assurance Procedures (Units I and 2)
Reactor coolant and other safety-related piping are being welded by Pullman Power Products (PPP). The inspector reviewed PPP and interfacing licensee welding procedure specifications (WPS) and quality assurance procedures used for field welding of pipe to determine whether specifications and procedures have been established, qualified and controlled in accordance with NRC requirements, SAR commitments, licensee's QA program, and ASME code requirements, as applicable. The applicable code for this welding is the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, 1977 Edition with Addenda through the winter of 1977. The following areas were reviewed:
The QA manual and referenced documents, a.
identified below, were as reviewed to determine whether adequate QA plans and procedures, inclu-j

Filler Materials for Nuclear Services" During review of the above procedures, the following two problems were encountered:
During review of nonconformance procedures, the inspector noted
.
i that the PPP procedure, XV-2, specifies that minor nonconformances are not to be reviewed by Georgia Power. Discussions with the
,
licensc.e revealed that in fact all nonconformances are being
reviewed by Georgia Power. In addition, review of Georgia Power QA-audit GD 05-80-26 revealed that numerous problems have been-found by the licensee relative to r.onconformance reporting.
Based on the audit results, the Georgia Power nonconformance
,
procedure GD-T-01, was -in the process of.being revised at the time of the inspection. After revision to procedure GD-T-01,re.ision to tl
PPP procedure, XV-2 is planned. This area will be examined further after completion of the procedure revisions and is identified as inspc.ctor followup item 424/425/80-: 3-01, " Review cf Penconformance Reporting Procedures".
In PPP procedure II-3, which covers qualification and certifica-w
.
tion of Level III personnel, paragraph 5.0, paragraph 7.0, para-graph 8.0 and Appendix A confuse the terms " Proficiency Examination" and " Physical Examination" (eje examination). PPP agreed to revise
-
the procedure to clarify these terms. This procedure will be reviewed on a future inspection and is ider.tified as inspector followup item 424/425/80-13-03, " Clarification of Certification Procedure for NDE Level III Personnel",
b.
The inspector reviewed preparation, qualification, approval / certification, distribution and revision requirements for WPS's as covered by:
(1) Sections I and IX of the PPP Field QA Manual (2) PPP QEG procedure, " Welding Procedure Qualification" (3/27/80)
.
c.
The PPP general welding standard and WPS's listed below were reviewed for: compliance with documents of paragraph 6.b. above; qualification in accordance with ASME Section IX; procedure qualification records containing essential. variables and.
mechanical test results in accordance with ASME Section IX; and compliance with PSAR and regu-latory guide commitments.

-
During review of the above procedures, the following two problems were encountered:
'In General Welding Standard GWS-iia /I the following areas need
.
clarification:
The procedure does not clearly address the methods for inter-pass cleaning.
For GTA welding, the procedure is not clear in defining purge gas flow rate during welding after satisfactory purge has been established.
Figure 9.5B, which gives the minimum size for socket weld flange welds specifies a minimum leg size of 1.4 t or 1/4" whichever is smaller. The 1/4" appears to be in error.
PPP agreed to clarify the above requirements. This is identified inspector followup item 424/425/80.3-02, " Clarification of as General Welding Standard".
kTS 38-III/I-8-KI-1 specifies a qualified thickness range of
.
1/16"-1.120".
The applicable procedure qualification records indicate that the procedure is only qualified up to.560" in thickness. PPP personnel stated that the procedure is in error but has not been used on any pipe greater than.180" in thickness.
The procedure will be revised. This will be identified as inspector followup item 424/425/80-13-04, " Incorrect Thickness Range on WPS".
Within the areas inspected, no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

Other Safety-Related Piping - Visual Examination of Welds (Units 1 and 2)
.The inspector reviewed quality records for completed piping field welds listed below to determine whether applicable code and procedure requirements were being met.
See paragraph 6 above for the applicable code. Records covering visual and dimensional inspection, weld quality, and weld history were reviewed for the following welds:

During review of the above records, the inspector noted that for welt 025-W-02, the weld process sheet did not list procedure and drawing revision numbers as required by paragraph 6.2.2 of PPP procedure VI-5, " Control of Process Sheets and Weld Rod Stores Requisitions". This appeared to be an isolated case and the licensee agreed to investigate and determine the extent of this problem.
This matter is considered unresolved pending determination of whether this is an isolated case. This is identified as item 425/80-13-05, " Failure to Enter Procedure and Drawing Revision Numbers en Weld Process Sheet".
Within the areas inspected, no items of noncompliance or deviation were identified.
