I Followup on Allegations 1 (Closed) Allegation RIII-85-A-0152. In March 1985, the Ohio Citizens '

'

for Responsible Energy (OCRE) stated in a 10 CFR 2.206 petition to the NRC that employees of Metalweld Incorporated, the coatings contractor at

, so the Perry NuclearwouldPlant,flake had threatened off within a to mix Also, coatings the incorrectly (s)

,

that the material yea alleger t stated paint was flaking in the containment structure near the 689  :

elevation level and on equipment hatche i i

NRC Review

.

. Direct inspection by the NRC inspector of service level I coatings

in the drywell and containment revealed several localized areas of i

,

coating failures. However, in general the coatings appeared to be  ;

in good condition. The licensee had documented t'1e localized areas i of coating failures on Nonconformance Reports (NRs), and repair will

, be accomplished under normal program procedures. These localized ,

l areas of coating failure did not appear to be due to improperly

mixed coating materials. They appeared to be the result of discrepant application. Most of the areas were identified and documented by the licensee, prior to hRC's notification and examin-ation of the subject allegation. The licensee's inspection program would have iden;ified the additional areas noted by hR Inspection of Metalweld's quality records for March and April of 1985 was accomplished by the inspector. No NRs or other adverse quality records related to coating mixing problems were documente The contractor's QA/QC program was discussed and examined with Metalweld's QA Supervisor and the Assistant Project Manager. No deficiencies were noted. Based on discussions with the coating contractors craft personnel, no instances of improperly mixed coating material has occurre Conclusion The allegation (s) were not substantiated. Although localized failure areas exist, as alleged, they have been identified and are being treated under the ongoing construction quality program. No additional followup cction is planne . Exit Interview The Region III inspector met with the licensee representatives (denoted under Paragraph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on September 16,

'985. The inspector summarized the purpose and findings of the i

., inspection. The licensee acknowledged this information. The inspector also discussed the likely informational content of the inspection report.
