., 457/84-13-01k A review of Phillips, Getschow Co. Procedure, PGCP-37. Revision 1 Equipment Surveillance, revealed that equipment was divided into three categories:

. " Category A" - rotating equipment which requires periodic rotation and lubrication

. " Category B" - requires protective purge gas prior to attachment of piping systems

. " Category C" - other safety-related equipmen Phillips, Getschow Co. quality control inspectors performed surveillances of mechanical equipment, but their inspections mainly involved documenta-tion checks and were on a limited, random basis, not beino extensive enough to assure that all mechanical eouipment was properly maintained by the craftsmen. Although, based on the NRC sample inspection, craft records and maintenance appeared adequate, the mechanical ecufpment cuality assurance organization needs to establish an inspection program to verify adequate craft attention to the preventive maintenance function. Further-more, the inspector could not find inspection or surveillance records docu-

! menting that mechanical equipment quality control inspectors had witnessed any shaft rotations or lubrications. Pending licensee review of this area, including considering the examination of all mechanical equipment to assure that the equipment has been properly maintained; and subsecuent NRC review, l

! mechanical equipment maintenance will remain unresolved (456/94-13-02; 457/84-13-02).

g The only mechanical items that required gas purges, as stipulated in PGCP-37, were the accumulators and the control room refrigeration units. Vapor inhibitors or the coating of internal parts was not a part of the mechanical
  • contractor's preventive maintenance program. Options, especially for heat -

exchangers, employed by the nuclear industry include:

.

Maintaining purges as long as possible prior to start-up and incorpora-tion into plant systems, and making piping connections las . The use of humidity indicators attached to or inside component '

.

Desiccant used as vapor inhibitor ..

Internals specially coated by manufacturers for long tem storag . Vapor inhibitors, such as Cortec VCI-319. used for extended storage periods since the inhibitors can be flushed from the system (water

soluble).

Humidity conditions can become extremely high for equipment stored in place as a result of concrete pours or other systems being flushed. The'

inspector has requested the licensee to assess the importance of these ,

options'considering the length of time items have not been in servic Pending licensee assessment, this issue will remain open (456/84-13-01; *

457/84-13-03).

The electrical contractor's (L. K. Comstock) preventive maintenance program

<

was reviewed, including Procedure 4.10.2, Receiving and Storage, Revision A, and the inspector identified the following issues:

.

. Although Procedure 4.10.2 required that electrical equipment be checked to assure that heaters were properly working, L. K. Comstock did not have a list of the equipment that required heaters and the L. K. Comstock quality control inspector did not document which equip-ment was being checked for heaters.

l .

The licensee did have a list of maintenance required for electrical l - equipment, such as' covers to protect the equipment and the use of motor winding heaters, but this list was not included in any proce-dure nor was objective evidence provided to the inspector documenting that manufacturer recomendations for maintenance were included in

'

this list. L. K. Comstock's quality control organization was not aware of the licensee's lis The inspector has requested the licensee to review the electrical equiper t

maintenance requirements, taking into consideration manufacturer recomenda-tions and/or Sargent and Lundy recomendations. Subsequent to this review and the conclusions reached, the licensee should address L. K. Comstock's

, Spent Fuel Storage Racks

~

! The contractor that fabricated the 6x5 and 6x6 spent fuel storage racks

'

was NUS Corporation. The inspector reviewed Specification F/L-2743, New

And Spent Fuel Storage Racks dated January 7, 1976 through Amendment 2 dated June 28, 1983, and NUS Corporation Specificartion 5106-M-200 Revision C, which was approved by Sargent and Lundy on January 13, 1978. These two

. 5106M 2002 Revision 8 After reviewing these drawings, a 6x5 rack and a 6x6 rack were examined for conformance to the drawings requirements, including:

'

. Width and length dimensions

. Component dimensions - (shear plates, collar bars, corner support p plates, module support plates, support beams, and gusset plates)

. Separation dimensions

. Structural welds - (gusset plate to beam welds, plate to beam welds, . gusset plate to support plate welds, collar bar to support plate welds, and shear plate welds)

One rack's flare plates at the end of the ' alignment box were damaged and one rack's support beams, (quantity of two), were deformed. The inspector identified these racks to the licensee and the licensee documented these conditions for resolution. Pending licensee evaluation and corrective action if necessary, and NRC review, the acceptance of these two spent fuel storage racks will remain unresolved (456/84-13-05; 457/84-13-05)..

It was noted that the welds attaching the 79" long collar bar to the

, .3" x 83" support plate were not symetrical. The pieces were connected by 9" long welds on the ends, and 3" long intennittent welds with centers

Subseocently, the inspector reviewed L. K. Comstock inspection reports for these cable pan installations, and Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory inspectior reports that documented a 10% overview weld inspection. Procedures reviewed included L. K..Comstock Procedures 4.8.3, Weld Inspection and 4.3.10, l- Storage, Issue and Control of Welding Material. Inspection reports were l in accordance with procedure requirements and the weld rod was found to be ,

l stored in accordance with the procedure requirements, including oven tem-

-

perature adherence. However, the inspector discovered that weld red was l

allowed to be stored overnight in the portable rod oven heaters, instead of

being returned to the issue stations. There are approximately one-hundred
portable ovens and quality control does not assure that these ovens are l plugged in at night and furthemore, surplus weld rod should be returned I

to the issue stations in order that it may be signed out to a specific

l application / component for traceability control. The inspector discussed these points with the licensee and the licensee has decided that all

surplus weld rod must be returned to an issue station after the days shift, to facilitate optimum weld rod control. L. K. Comstock was notified of the '

licensee's decision and therefera, the inspector considers this issue close .

Over 300 filler metal withdrawal authorization forms, which document the release of weld rod for electrical installations, were . reviewed for the months of May 1982 through August 1982. This was the time frame the cable

n pans were installed. The filler metal authorization forms were specific as to the use of the weld rod, specifying one of the following on each form:

i . conduit hangers

'

. cable support

. cable pan

. switchgear

. . junction box hangers

.

However, the forms did not specify the specific component the rod was used

>, on and only listed general building locations, such as Auxiliary Building,

- elevation 463 feet. Nine fiiler metal withdrawal authorization forms .

documented the assignment of E7018 weld rod for cable pan welding, even

though Sargent and Lundy drawing 20E-0-3251, Revision AC and L. K. Comstock *

Procedure 4.3.3, dated January 29, 1982, required the use of E60 Series weld rod for cable pan welds. Detailed below are the nine forms' documenting

the release of E7018 weld rod, by heat number, for cable pan welding:

  • Heat numbers 411P4161 and 40259011 were actually E7018 weld rod as the inspector reviewed the material certifications. The rod issue attendants apparently thought these heats of red were E6013. Note that the same heats, 411P4161 and 40259011, were handed out as both E6013 and E7018 weld ro Failure to control the use of weld rod for cable pan welding is a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion IX (456/84-13-09; 457/84-13-09).

Comonwealth Edison recent site audits were reviewed. Past NRC inspection findings identified deficiencies in the Braidwood Site audit program with *

regard to depth of audits and corrective action. The recent audits revealed significant improvement in audit technique, depth, identification of problem areas, corrective action, and actions to prevent recurrence. The audits met the regulatory requirements and were carried out with the purpose of identifying and correcting any deficiencies that could affect the safe operation of the plant. The audits reviewed and area covered are detailed
