Inspection Purpose and Scope The purpose of this inspection was primarily to review the quality control plans, instructions, and procedures and to review accomplished maintenance actions undertaken on stored in place equipment, warehoused equipi..ent and open ared/ yard stored safety-related supplies. This effort addressed the preservation and protection of safety-related equipment, supplies and parts as required by supplier and vendor warranty. Because of the reorganiza-tion of site activities which occurred after Seabrook #2 entered an extended construction delay following the construction shutdown of April, 1984, this inspection was directed to equipment maintenance require-ments established and the ongoing practices undertaken by the new project administration. Physical inspection was performed of in plant, site ware-housed, off-site warehoused and yard stored equipment and parts. The inspector performed sample reviews of records of equipment maintenance

under the new administration. The inspector was informed that about 2% of

equipment is in place in plant stored, 30% is site stored and about 60% is off-site stored at Newington. A small percentage of Unit 2 equipment has not yet been delivered.

3. Requirements for Protective Maintenance Prior to the construction shutdown, UE&C's FGCP procedures governed all maintenance actions relating to preservation and protection of equipment delivered to the site as well as that stored in off-site warehouses and buildings at Newington. After the April 1984 shutdown, UE&C revised FGCP-6 and established a position of Preventive Maintenance Supervisor (PMS) to coordinate the prever.tive maintenance program for equipment in storage as well as that installed in place. His responsibilities include compiling a preventive maintenance program and master schedule and main-taining preventive maintenance records for equipment covered by the pro-gram. The PMS, in conjunction with Area Superintendent, assures that storage areas conform to the storage level required by the manufacturer, ,

or as directed by Site Engineering. Also the PMS'and the Discipline

. . Superintendent must compile manufacturer information associated with the cleaning and preventive maintenance of the specific piece of equipment.

! FGCP-6 requires the UE&C Discipline / Area Superintendent to supply craft personnel to the PMS for training and for performing of prescribed main-tenance actions. The PMS is responsible for assigning QC Engineers to perform inspection of preventive maintenance activities and to assure that training adequately qualifies them.

Resulting from the Unit 2 construction delay following the 1984 shutdown and consequent reduction in personnes, UE&C proposed to NHY changes in the frequency of the maintenance actions on equipment supplied by NHY as identified in its letter of March 21, 1985. Vendors and suppliers of equipment identify the required protective and preventive maintenance .

oitributes and their frequency. These vendors and suppliers were indi-vidually contacted and requested by UE&C to approve changes in the fre-quency of designated maintenance guidelines and storage conditions. Where j suppliers accepted UE&C changes in their maintenance frequency or main-l tenance actions, without affecting the original purchase agreement and warranty provisions, the required protective and preventive maintenance

'

,

frequency was changed. Changes in equipment storage protection not l accepted by suppliers were not made, maintenance adhered to the original procedure agreement.

In 1985, NHY's new administrative managers inaugurated and incorporated into the Seabrook #2 maintenance program, special procedures for Storage and Maintenance of Equipment and Material. NHY procedure ASP-6 defines storage, preservation, general preventive maintenance and minimum storage

requirements for Unit 2 equipment, structures, and construction materials during the extended lay-up period. This procedure provides details and contains appropriate forms to insure that Unit 2 equipment, structures, and materials remain in an acceptable condition in accordance with regu-latory requirements, approved vendor recommendations and good engineering practices / judgement. The procedure was reviewed and discussed by the NRC I

inspector during his physical inspection and equipment record reviews.

Maintenance actions on significant safety related equipment was observed to conform to accepted supplier instructions and approved frequencies.

Additionally, FSAR commitment to Regulatory Guide 1.33, ANSI N18.7-76/

ANS 3.2 and N45.2 are prescribed in ASP-6. This procedure also provides for an NHY. Preserve and Protect Coordinator, whose duties are as follows:

-

in conjunction with UE&C engineering, perform periodic walk-downs of Unit 2

-

submit comprehensive monthly reports on the maintenance program's effectiveness

' -

observe potential deficiencies No violations were identified.

4. Inspection of Unit 2 Maintenance During Shutdown Walk-down inspections were performed of in place stored safety-related equipment and equipment parts in four buildings, in four site warehouses and three offsite (Newington) warehouses and buildings. Open stored / yard areas at the plant and offsite were included in the walk-down. Interviews were conducted during this inspection relating to specific equipment main-tenance storage actions, UE&C QC witnessing, and licensee QA surveillance.

The inspector observed that required levels of storage conditions were maintained, equipment and parts were adequately segregated, were readily accessible, equipment and parts were maintained as required by their respective preserve and protect instructions and indications / monitoring devices provided evidence of good housekeeping and orderliness. All

equipment was identified by " BLUE TAGS" containing QA sign-off for each date of the required maintenance actions. The inspector performed detailed maintenance record reviews of selected equipment to verify the required preserve and protect measurements and actions. These are identified in Table 1.

No violations were identified.

,

, 5. Review of Administ-ative Controls of Protective and Preventive Equipment Maintenance The following licensee quality assurance activities relating to main-tenance and preservation of Unit 2 equipment were reviewed and discussed with respective personnel responsible for these activities:

-

NHY's Preserve and Protect Coordinator's monthly reports on main-tenance program effectiveness and recommendation of engineering evaluation of potential deficiencies - August 1985 through March 1986 i

-

NHY QA Surveillance reports / monitoring of preventive maintenance and minimum storage of in place permanent plant equipment, site open storage and warehouses and Newington, off-site open and warehouse storage and maintenance - monthly reports since construction shutdown.

-

NHY Audit of May-June 1984 to verify compliance by UE&C to their control procedures for storage and protective maintenance of Unit 2 equipment.

The inspector ascertained from his review and discussions that the main-tenance program is being effectively implemented by UE&C. The inspector noted evidence that, where deficiencies were identified, appropriate cor-rective actions were instituted. None of the deficiencies reviewed indi-cated that major program changes were necessary to assure that quality of safety related equipment would be maintained during the shutdown.

No violations were identified.

6. License Attendance of Nuclear Plant Layup and Equipment Workshop Two licensee engineers responsible for Unit 2 equipment preservation attended the subject Electric Power Research Institute sponsored Workshop conducted October 30, and 31, 1985 at

Dearborn,

Michigan. Attendees of the Workshop included 50 members from 20 utilities, 3 A-Es, 2 NSSS vendors and INP0. The inspector was informed this workshop's concentrated and well coordinated effort was significant to Seabrook's preserve and protect maintenance program.

7. Atmospheric Corrosion Monitoring Test Program NHY initiated an atmospheric corrosion monitoring test program in September 1985. This program is procedurally directed by administrative special procedure ASP-7 and measures the corrosive potential of the Seabrook site atmosphere on major exposed site materials by using weighed test specimens.

Test racks containing various carbon steel panels and rebar for corrosion rates and two wet chloride candle tests at two site locations indicate atmospheric salinity at grade level and at the elevation of containment dome over an extended storage period. The program is intended to deter-mine corrosion rates of representative site construction materials over a minimum five years exposure in order to predict the condition of Unit 2 exposed carbon steel structures during the shutdown.

8. Summary In summary, the inspector concluded that the programs established and being implemented by NHY and UE&C should satisfactorily assure that acceptable storage conditions are being maintained.
