(2) Personnel Certification / Qualification The inspc-tor reviewed training records of eight QA/QC inspectors to verify compliance with ANSI N45.2.6 and proper certification. The inspector noted minor dis-crepancies in three of the eight records inspected which were brought to the attention of the QA manager who pro-vided the documentation and corrected the existing dis-crepancies.
4.
Preoperational Test Program The inspector verified by review of the turnover package that jurisdictional controls were obaarved for system turnover of the Safety Injection system, that tagging was accomplished consistent with jurisdictional controls, and that turnover logs and records icdicated jurisdictional controls were maintained.
5.
Fire Prevention Protection The inspection consisted of a review of Commonwealth Edison Byron Station Construction Procedure No. 17, and subsequent station tours to verify that welding and grinding operations are being conducted in accordance with the established precedure.
6.
Observations The inspector noted on several occasions that welding operations were being conducted without complying with the requirements of the procedure. Of specific concern were welding operations being conducted in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 cable spreading rooms without providing adequate protection of exposed cables, without providing proper fire watches and without having a fire extinguisher in the vicinity of the welding operation. The inspector notified con-struction management of his observation.
Construction management committed to enforce the requirements of the station procedure.
The inspector noted that the fire equipment (system) identified in the procedure did not correspond to the system currently being utilized. The procedure identified a temporary construction site fire system whereas the construction personnel would now utilize the facility installed systems. The Construction Superintendent was notified. The Construction Superintendent committed to revise the procedure.
This item is considered to be an isolated event and in view of the corrective measures committed to by the licensee no enforcement action appears necessary. This matter is considered open however pending verification of the corrective action.

The inspector reviewed actions taken by the licensee to avoid further noncompliance and noted that although procedures were in existance for the protection and preservative of safety related equipment that not all cognizant personnel were aware of procedural requirements and their responsibilities and confusion existed between construction and station personnel for systems that are interfaced.
The Construction Manager was informed of the inspectors concerns and committed to initiate management action to resolve the discrepancies.
