Unresolved Items Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required to determine whether they are acceptable or may involve violations or devia-tions. New unresolved items identified during this inspection are discussed in paragraph 7.

5.

Independent Inspection Effort The inspector examined the following:

a.

Soils and concrete laboratory and currentness of calibration of laboratory equipment.

b.

Concrete batch plant.

c.

Results of concrete placements in the auxiliary and Unit one containment building.

d.

Installation of reinforcing steel in the power block.

e.

Drawing controls.

f.

Stop Work Notice numbers C-25 and C-35.

Observations indicated the above activities were being controlled in accordance with the licensees QA pregram.

No violations or deviations were identified.

6.

Containment (Structural Concrete II) - Observation of Work and Work Activities (Unit 1)

The inspector observed partial placement of pour numbers A-IIA-043 and 1-010-008.

Site Preparation and Foundations - Review of Quality Records, Unit 1 and Unit 2 The inspector examined compaction controls on backfill placed in the powerblock. Acceptar.ce criteria examined by the inspector appears in the following documents:

a.

Section 2c of the PSAR b.

Specification X2AB01, Site Preparation and Earthwork c.

Procedure CD-T-01, Earthwork Quality Control Records examined included the following documentation on backfill placement from August 1981 to February 1982.

a.

Fill failure and fill failure correction notices b.

Proctor sheets C.

Moisture density test data d.

Wash sieve analysis e.

Field density work sheet sand cone f.

Moisture data g.

Daily inspection reports Examination of methods used in selection of representative proctors (compaction standards)

disclosed the following unresolved item.

Specification and procedure instructions allow the selected proctor to be the compaction standard for seven sand cone tests made in one day provided the sand cone dry densities are within 1.5 pounds of each other and the color and texture of the soil material are the same. The specified method to a large degree is dependent on the judgment and experience of the technician doing the proctor selection. The dry densities of the sand cone tests could be the same and the color of the material could be the same; but if the texture or grain size of the material varied significantly (a difficult variation to determine visually) the materials could have dif ferent compaction standards. Because difficulty in determining texture differences could result in the selection of the wrong proctor; the inspector requested the licensee to perform additional proctor tests on selected groups of sand cone tests (4 or more samples represented by a proctor) to verify that the judgement being used by soil technicians is e

adequate.

Potential variation in proctor results was identified to the licensee as Unresolved item 50-424/82-03-01 and 50-425/82-03-01, Compaction Control.

No violations or deviations were identified.
