Independent Inspection Effort The inspectors toured the vessel storage, rebar storage and piping storage areas to examine the condition of equipment stored in these areas. These areas appear to be well maintained and the drainage is adequate. The reactor vessels for both units are adequately protected. The vessel heads are stored in specially constructed sheds well above ground level.
Equipment stored at the various levels in the warehouse was examined. The storage requirements for levels A, B, and C were being me.

Prior to and during this inspection, several inches of rain had fallen. In view of the licensee's difficulties with surface water runoff and resulting damage to Class I backfill, the inspectors examined various areas where backfill had been placed to determine that adequate control of surface water was being maintained.
There were no areas along the slopes that appeared to be dislodging due to surface water runof f.
The inspectors reviewed mechanical contractor's plae for coordination with GPC's A-E to insure that all data required for installation drawings is entered and reviewed before the drawings are released to the field. A tour of the weld test facilities was made.
The facility appears adequately staffed to insure proper evaluation of welders.
Within the areas examined no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
6.
Review of Nonconforming Reports The inspectors reviewed various nonconformance Reports (NCR's) to determine if adequate and timely corrective actions were taken and if adequate review had been provided to determine reportability in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55(e).
NCR's reviewed included CD-830, 839, 924, 935, 937, 938, 948, 986, 988, 1000, 1008, 1009, 1013, and 1030; and MD-457, 458, 461, 462, 468, 480, 491, 495, 503, 508, 509, 510, 513, 519, 539, 581, 599, 606, 607, and 654.
During this review, the inspectors noted that at least 16 NCR's had been written concerning defects in structural steel received from Ingalls Iron Works.
The inspectors questioced whether these defects were indicative of a breakdown in the vendor's QA program and should be reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55(e).
Site personnel indicated that an audit would be performed at the vendor's facility during November 1980, to determine the cause of the defects.
Until completed licensee actions concerning this item can be fully reviewed by NRC this will be Inspector Followup Item No.

(Closed) LII, 424/80-12-02, Collapse of Cooling Tower 1A Rebar Steel. The inspectors reviewed the actions taken by the licensee to prevent the recur-rence of the activities leading to this type of problem. The repair proce-dures have been outlined with hold points established.
