l 5. Independent Inspection The inspectors examined the following worker expressed concerns: Cold joint in the Unit 1 containment building shell wal A concern was expressed that a cold joint exists in the Unit I containment building in the first or second pour above the basemat and between an azimuth of 80 to 100 degree The inspectors examined the exterior wall of the containment shell wall in the area of concern and records of the first three concrete pours above the basema Pour records examined were for pour Numbers f 1-010-002, 1-010-003 and 1-010-00 Examination of records and discussions with responsible QC inspectors showed no evidence that a cold joint developed during the above listed pours. During a previous inspection a NRC inspector had examined the Unit 1 containment building shell wall in the area of concern. The inspector noted a line indicating a joint surface along which were voids, bits of rags and wir Examination of records showed that the nonconforming condition was identified on deviation report Number CD-1728. The joint line is located at elevation 191 and represents a construction joint which was not properly cleaned prior to placing additional concrete. The inspector examined the area of concern during this inspection and noted that the area had been cleaned and repaired. Documentation of repairs is shown on deviation report CD-172 QC Inspector Certifications The inspectors selected 25 soils, concrete, and rebar QC inspectors'

training records to review for adequate training, experience, and testing results leading to the level of each inspector's certificatio Those selected were Soils and Materials Engineers, Inc. (S&M) employees and Georgia Power Company (GPC) emplovees. The levels of most of the inspectors whose record were reviewed were I and I The S&M inspectors were certified by S&M based on experience at other S&M projects, previous QC testing experience, education and S&M testing result S&M is now responsible for the training required for certification. GPC examines the S&M personnel before accepting them as inspectors at a certified level. Failure of these tests can result in a GPC refusal to accept the S&M person as a certified inspector. The degree of failure determines if retraining and retesting is warrante The licensee is now performing a monthly evaluation of each of the S&M QC inspector The inspectors interviewed ten persons; seven QC inspectors and three'

supervisory personnel . Discussions were held regarding work assign-ments, job orientation, review of related specifications and proce-dures, the individual work assignments, and overall qualifications of l

. e

the QC personne As a result of these discussions, the inspectors learned that in some isolated cases, inspectors had failed tests given them for qualification at a level below the level for which they were certified. However, no instances were found where persons performing inspections were not certified to the level require The overall program of training, testing and certifying inspectors appears adequate, and is enhanced by the licensee's monthly evaluation of contractor supplied QC inspectors. While this monthly evaluation is not required, it does provide a means for identification of personnel deficiencie Within the areas examined, no violations or deviations were identified.
