The inspector also contacted and interviewed other licensee and contractor personnel during this reporting period.

  • Denotes those attending at least one of the exit meetings.

F Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Unresolved Item (440/79-04-02; 441/79-04-02):

Open items described in IE Circular No. 78-08; connectors, electrical penetrations, tenninal blocks and limit switches.

The licensee is performing a detailed review of environmental qualification of Class IE equipment to ensure that the equipment will function under (i.e. during and following) postulated accident conditions. Test reports i

and other documentation which licensee references as establishing environmental qualification will be reviewed for acceptability by NRR, Environmental Qualifi-cation Branch prior to fuel load. The resident inspector will continue to verify that environmental qualification is available for class IE equipment.

(Closed) Noncompliance (440/79-03-05; 441/79-03-05):

Safety Related RHR and LPCI pump discharge heads and suction barrels unprotected. Visible rust was present on the connecting flanges and internal surfaces of the discharge heads. The RI reviewed maintenance job orders and equipment maintenance records.

The inspector determined that the discrepancies were corrected and documented.

(Closed) Noncompliance (440/80-01-01; 441/80-01-01):

GE ICSE inspectors quali-fication records do not indicate " Activity qualified to perform".

The RI reviewed ICSE quality control inspectors records (NDE) and determined that they were current.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (440/80-08-01; 441/80-08-01):

Procedures require clarification; conflicting wcld bead width criteria, clarification of how returm welding material is handled, documenting welding parameters when monitored by QC personnel, and issuance of procedures as required by Perry Site addendum to GE ICSE QA Manual.

The RI inspector reviewed and observed the following:

revisions to welding procedures to clarify weld bead width criteria; observed weld rod material (studs) returned to issue room and dis-posal of into five gallon drum; reviewed and observed QC personnel documenting weld parameters on the weld traveller sheets; and re'.iewed procedures that were issued in accordance with the Perry Site addendum to GE ICSE QA Manual.

The inspector determined that the above was corrected satisfactorily.

(Closed) Noncompliance (441/80-14-01) Housekeeping in the area of Unit #2 sole plate.

The RI inspector reviewed the maintenance job order; construction quality section action request and projects storage maintenance requirements.

The inspector visi. d ly inspected the area and found it acceptable.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (440/80-16-01; 441/80-15-01): Welds on 4160 volt switchgear cabinets not in accordance with vendor drawings.

The RI inspector reviewed several letters from the vendor to the licensee that stated that the seismic integrity of the equipment would not be jeopardized by using a fillet weld versus a plug weld for installation of the cabinets.

The RI inspector has no further questions at this time.

(Closed) Unresolved item (440/80-19-01; 441/80-17-01):

A number of errors were noted on contractor's (NNIC) Welder Performance Qualification Records (WPQR).

The RI inspector reviewed several WPQR's during this reporting period and determined that the contractor has corrected the discrepancies on the WPQR. This item did not affect the quality of work performed.

(Closed) Open Item (440/80-23-01; 441/80-21-01): Resolution of six nonconform-ing reports (NR) referenced in IE report Nos. 80-23; 80-21 identified as open will be reviewed at a later date. The RI inspector reviewed several NR's to ascertain that they were Icgible, complete, reviewed by QC personnel, and readily retrievable.

NR's included status of corrective action.

Licensee Action on Other Items (Closed) 1CCFR50.55(.) Report, Subject:

Initial inspection of Class 1E 4.16 KV

.

Switchgear. Units revealed the existence of cracks and tears in the bottom of the steel enclosures where the metal is bent to allow mounting to embedded channels (plates). The RI inspector visually inspected several sections of the switchgear units and determined that the tackwelding was in accordance with the vendors recommended corrective action. The vendor stated in letter to licensee, that the repair of these cracks does not affect the seismic Certification per IEEE 344-1975 or Qualification Summary Report IEEE 323-1974.

The inspector has no further questions on this subject.

Functional or Program Areas Inspected 1.

Plant Tours, Units 1 and 2 One or more plant areas were toured several times during this reporting period to observe general construction practices, area cleanliness and storage condition of plant equipment.
