Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Violation (424/81-13-01 and 425/81-13-01):
Failure to maintain protection for installed or stored in place category 1 equipment. The inspector examined the licensee's response to this violation and performed follow up inspections of the 22 pieces of equipment described in the above report. The inspector noted that additional protective covers were installed on the equipment, openings plugged and the heaters for the electrical equipment were reactivated. Additional inspections were made in the control building of electrical equipment which were identified as listed:
1-1805-53-804
1-1805-53-B10 1-1805-53-BL1 No items of noncompliance were identified.

Unresolved Itero Unresolved items are matters about which more infonnation is required in order to ascertain wheter they are aceptable items, items of noncompliance,

or deviations. Unresolved items disclosed during this inspection are l
l discussed in paragraph 4.

Unresolved Item 424,425/82-04-01 Load' Test of Transporter.
An examination was made of the records that document the load testing of the equipment used for lifting, handling and transporting of the steam
,
generators from the barge at the river dock to the storage area.
This
,
requires transporting the steam generators up a roadway which is sloped approximately 6. The records show that the equipment used to transport the steam generators (MANIT0 WOC 4100) up the incline was load tested at the factory with test weights of 884,600 lbs.
The weight was applied in a level base which did not duplicate the loading that would be applied to the tracks, brakes, hydraulic system, transmission and other parts of the mechanical system when the transporter is moving the designed load up an incline.
-
!
The technical planning for the heavy rigging program is contained in procedures HRP 32,'HRP 15, and.HRP 7.
Specifically HRP 7, steps 12, 13 and 14 describe the requirements for load testing the transporter on the incline to verify the equipment and the road bed, however a decision was made to
,
transport the steam generators without a load test on the incline. Although the (4) generators were moved to the storage area without incident to the
equipment or roadway it raises a concern whether undue risks were taken in moving major equipment. This item is unresolved pending additional information relative to the engineering rationale for elimination of the test, the elemination of the-procedural requirements ' approved prior to
the move as described in the preface of the Heavy Rigging Program and the memo of 1-8-80 by D. Maudlin, and what actions were taken by-Quality Control.

work in progress for obvious defects or noncompliance with regulatory requirements and license conditions.
Particular note was made of the presence of quality control inspectors and quality control evidence such was inspection records, material identification, nonconforming material identification, material protection and housekeeping. The inspector interviewed craft personnel, supervision, quality control inspectors as such people were available in the work areas. The inspections included fit-up of liner plate segment, application of preheat, welding, grinding inside and out of Unit 2 containment liner.
The inspector observed activities relative to the re-rounding and fit up of a 24" Safety injection pipe for-weld fio.
006-W-06 and observation of category 1 back fill, and compaction. An inspection was made of the facilities and activities related to weld performance and weld procedure testing. An inspection was made of the weld school for new trainees. An inspection was made in the control building of stored in place electrical equipment.
7.
Safety Injection System Inspections were made of the preparation and fit up of weld flo.006-W-06 which joins spool pieces 006-5-10 to 006-5-05 which are 24" 0.D. x.375 wall and made by P-8 stainless steel.
Successive inspections were made to observe the re-rounding of the pipe by the use of an internal spider arrangement, the preparation of the weld level, the fit up criteria, and condition of the insert. A review was made of the required weld process sheet, weld material withdrawal authorization, weld procedure specification (WPS) 24-111/1, general weld specification G.W.S.-111/1 and isometric drawing 2K3-1204-006-01.
fio items of non Compliance were identified.
8.
Weld Procedure Qualifications An inspection was made of the facility, equipment and activities relative to welding, sectioning and testing of weld procedure and weld performance qualification coupons.
The inspector noted that the qualification was based on satisfactory bend tests in lieu of radiography.
The inspection included sectioning of weld coupon, preparation of bend sample, method of bending and pertinant schedule and documentation records, fio items of noncompliance were identified.
9.
Weld School Facility An inspection was made of the weld school facility and its operation.
The inspector was informed that the facility is a joint operation between Georgia Power Company and the State of Georgia to train new entrys into the welding craft.
Particular note was made of the individualized equipment and separate welding booths for each student.
Each of the students are required to perform 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of actual welding prior to taking the required performance tests required in A.S.fi.E.Section IX.
