Results:

In the areas inspected, violations or deviations were not identified.

,

The licensee's ISI program appears to be adequate in all areas reviewed.

Management a) pears to be very involved in the administra-tion of the program anc staffing needs appear tn be fully adequate.

The licensee s control of examination data, records of personnel qualifications, and material certification records made these records easily accessible and well managed.

The examination personnel appeared to be well qualified av cognizant of examination require-ments.

In general, the examination procedures were adequate, however weaknesses were found in the visual examination procedures relative to the examination of component supports and hangers and the engineering evaluation of these items to determine acceptability.

All procedures listad above, except 85052-C and 54171-C, had been reviewed during pravious NRC insaections.

Only current revisions were reviewed durhg this inspection.

(1) The inspecter reviewed the Ultrasonic procedures to ascertain whether the" had been reviewed and approved in accordance with the licensta's established QA procedures.

The above procedures were revie'ied for technical adequacy and conformance with the ASME Code,Section V, Article 5, and other license commitments /

requircaents in the following areas:

type of aaparatus used; exter', of coverage of weldment; calibration requirements search uni',4 ; beam angles; DAC curves; reference level for monitoring discontinuities; method for demonstrating penetration; limits for evaluating and recording indications; recording significant indications; and, acceptance limits.

(2) The inspector reviewed the Eddy Current procedure for technical content relative to:

multichannel examination unit-multichannel examination indication equipment is specif'ied; examination sensitivity; material examination; method of calibration; permeability; method ofcalibration s acceptance criteria.

(3) The inspector reviewed Procedure PT-V-605 to ascertain whether it had been reviewed and approved in accordance with the licensee'sestablishedQAprocedures.

The procedure was reviewed for technical adequac Section V, Article 6, y and conformance with the ASME Code,and oth in the following areas:

specified method; penetrant material identification; penetrant materials analyzed for sulfur; 3ene-trant materials analyzed for total halogens; acceptab'e pre-examination surface; drying time * method of penetrant application surface temperature; solvent removal surface drying prio;r to developing; type of developer; ex; amination technique; evaluation technique; and, procedure requalification.

(4) The inspector reviewed the Magnetic Particle procedures to ascertain whether they had been reviewed and approved in accordance with the licensee's established QA procedures.

The procedures were reviewed for technical adequacy and for conformance with the ASME Code,Section V, Article 7, and other licensee commitments / requirements in the following areas:

examination method; contrast of dry powder particle color with background; surface temperature; suspension medium for wet particles; viewing conditions; examination overlap and directions; pole or prod spacing; current or lifting power (yoke); and, acceptance criteri.

.

.

.

.

.

(5) The inspector reviewed the visual examination procedures to determine whether they contained sufficient instructions to asse that the following parameters were specified and controlled within the limits permitted by the applicable code, standard or any additional specification requirement:

method -

directv}sual,remotevisualortranslucentvisual; application-hydrostatic testing,, fabrication procedure, visual examination of welds, leak testing, etc. ; how visual examination is to be performed; type of surface condition available; method or tool for surface preparation, if any; whether direct or renote viewing is used; special illumination, instruments, or equi? ment to be used, if any; sequence of performing examination, w1en applicable; data to be tabulated if any acceptance criteria is specified and consistent with the appli; cable code section or controlling specification; and, report form completion.

During the review of Procedure 85052-C, Revision 0, Visual Examination of Component Supports and Hangers, the NRC inspector noted that one of the unacceptable criteria for spring type supports and hangers is improper hot or cold positions.

The procedure gave no specific information relative to what constituted an acceptable spring position and does not require that the spring position indicator dimension be recorded during the course of the examination.

Discussions with licensee personnel revealed that a parallel Procedure 54171-C Revision 6, Inspection of Component Supports and Enginee, ring Evaluation, was intended to be used for the evaluation of spring type hangers and supports.

The NRC inspector reviewed this procedure and cnneluded that the procedure dealt primarily with snubbers and did not contain sufficient engineering evaluation criteria to determine the acceptability of spring type hangers and supports especially in those cases when the spring position i dicator dimension is unknown.

Further discussions with n

licensee personnel resulted in a commitment by the licensee to revise these two procedures such that the spring Josition dimension of spring type supports and hangers would ae recorded at the time of item examination and that specific criteria relative to determining the acceptability of this type hanger or support, based on the spring indicator position and the temperature and system load at the time of examination, would be included as part of the procedures revisions, By the conclusion of this NRC ins)ection,ified as Inspector Followup Item (IFI)

the revisions had not been completed.

This item will ae ident 50-424/88-45-02, Revisions Te Procedures 85052-0 and 54171-C.

The inspector discussed these omissions with cognizant licensee personnel in an attempt to determine how these items were evaluated and specifically to determine if an adequate evaluation of these items could be made if the spring can dimension and system status were not known.

During these discussions, it was determined that if the system status was unknown and the spring can setting dimension were not known that it would not be possible to determine whether the support or hanger is in an acceptable configuration.

Following the above discussions the NRC inspector requestea the licensee to determi,ne how many supports and hangers of this type had been examined.

The licensee

determined that a total of 31 suaports and hangers of this type had been examined without tie spring can dimension or the system status being recorded.

Of the 31 items, 9 of the items were ASME Code required and the remaining 22 were

examined due to other licensee commitments.

The NRC inspector requested that the supports and hangers f

be re-examined for spring can dimension position and that

!

the system status be determined for each item.

The

,

licensee agreed to re-examine these items, however, at the

'

termination of this NRC inspection all items had not been

'

re-examined.

The ASME Code required sup) orts and hangers (9 total) had been re-examined with eig1t of the items apparently falling into an acceptable category and one item l

requiring further engineering evaluation.

r The NRC iaspector informed the licensee that pending final determination of the questionable items and subsequent review of the corrective actions taken by the licensee, that this matter would be identified as Unresolved Item 50-424/88-45-01, Unrecorded Support Spring Can Readings.

(b) The inspector compared a randomly selected sample of current NDE examination results with historical examination results.

No significant discrepancies were noted.

(2) Eddy Current Examination of Steam Generator Tubing (a) The inspector reviewed a sample of tha records of the steam generator tubiag eddy current, oninations.

The reviews were compared with the a the Code in the following areas:pplicable procedures and the multichannel eddy current examination equipment has been identified; materlal

)ermeability has been recorded; method of examination has

)een recorded; and, results are consistent with acceptance criteria.

(b) A sample of the current examination results were compared with preservice examination results.

No major i

discrepancies were noted.

(c) At the conclusion of the NRC inspection all examinations had not been completed.

The inspector discussed the f

program and status with the licensee and the preliminary r

examination status for the steam generators is listed
