Inspection Sumary:

Inspection on March 26-29,1979 (Report No. 50-445/79-08;50-446/79-08)

Areas inspected:

Routine, unannounced inspection of construction activities including observation of work and review of quality assurance documentation related to concrete placement in the Unit 2 Containment Building, Safety Injection System Check Valves (Unit 1), and Pressurizer Safety Valves (Unit 1). The inspection involved thirty-two inspector-hours on site by one NRC inspector.

Resul ts: No items of noncompliance were identified in the three areas inspected.

• denotes those present at the exit interview.

2.

Site Tour The IE inspector toured the various areas of the site to observe construction activities in progress, including housekeeping.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

3.

Concrete Placement A review of quality related records relative to the containment building structural concrete was conducted to ascertain whether these records reflect work accomplishment consistent with NRC requirements and Safety Analysis Report conmitments.

The follow-ing records for the twenty-second six feet high lift of concrete in the Unit 2 containment wall were specifically reviewed:

a.

Concrete Pour Card b.

Inspection Report

]}

b.

Concrete Placement Plan

c.

Concrete Placement Summary

d.

Daily Curing Verification Record

e.

Report on Compressive Tests of Concrete

f.

Batch Tickets

.

The records reviewed indicated confonnance with the Gibbs & Hill

specification for concrete.

A review of the concrete mix design used in the placement (No.133)

was also conducted in order to verify compliance with G&H Specifica-

tion.No. 2323-SS-9, Revision 4, " Concrete." This review was previously

identified as an unresolved item in the NRC Report No. 79-04.

The

graph showing the relationship between water-cement ratio and com-

pressive strength was reviewed and found to be in conformance with

paragraph 3.8.2.1 of ACI 301-72

Documentation of the data used to

construct the graph, as well as approvel of the mix by the design

engineer, was also reviewed.

Based on the review conducted during

this inspection, this unresolved item is considered closed.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

4.

Safety Related Valves

A review of chemical composition test reports for the materials used

to construct the following valves was performed during this inspection:

a.

Three 6 inch diameter Pressurizer Safety Valves

b.

Two 6 inch diameter Safety Injection System Check Valves

The test results were compared to the American Society for Testing and

Materials (ASTM) standards specified in the Westinghouse equipment

specifications.

Westinghouse Equipment Specification G-678838, Revision 0, "fressurizer

Safety Valves Class 1, ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section III,"

paragraph 5.1.10 states, "The spring shall be Inconel 718 or a material

approved by Westinghouse Nuclear Energy Systems." The review of the

chemical composition test reports revealed that for the three pressurizer

safety valves, the spring was constructed from ASTM A304, " Standard

Specification for Alloy Steel Bars Subject to End-Quench Hardenability

Requirements," Grade 51B60H material.

The approval for the use of

this material from Westinghouse could not be identified during this

inspection.

This matter is considered unresolved and will be reviewed

during a subsequent inspection.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

5.

Unresolved Items

Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required

in order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items of noncompliance

or dev'ations.

An unresolved item disclosed during the inspection is

discussed in paragraph 4.
