.
are properly identified and segregated; (2) the temperature of the rod oven is maintained; (3) records are properly kept; and (4) issuance and return of welding materials are controlled in accordance with approved procedures.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified,.
3.
Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping - Observation of Welding Activities
The inspector observed welding activities of the Recirculation System, Welds No. A4 and No. All on Traveller No. B33-G001-A.
It was deter-mined that (1) work was conducted in accordance with the traveller; (2) proper welding materials were used; (3) welding procedure require-ments were met; (4) work area was free of weld rod-stubs, and (5)
physical appearance was acceptable.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
4.
Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary and Safety Related Piping - Weld Heat Treatment a.
Review of Procedure The inspector established that the welding procedures reviewed under paragraph Ib of this report specified the acceptable pre-heating and monitoring methods.
b.
Observation While observing welding activities for items stated in paragraphs 3 and 7 of this report, the inspector determined that preheat met the procedure requirements.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
5.
Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary and Safety Related Piping - Welder Qualification The inspector reviewed the following documents:
a.
BA Procedure No. BTS-401, Revision 9, " General Welding Procedure Specification."
b.
Qualification records of twelve welders who performed welding on welds stated in paragraphs 3, 6, and 7 of this report.

Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping - Special Welding Applications
<
The inspector observed the weld repair of the Recirculation System Weld No. A4 on traveller No. B33-G001-A.
It was determined that proper materials were used and procedure requirements were met.
-
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
7*.
Safety Related Piping - Observation of Welding Activities The inspector observed the following welding activities:
Low Pressure Core Spray System Weld No. 11 on traveller a.
No. LP-2.
b.
Main Steam System Weld No. 7 on traveller No. 1B21-D302A-A-SF c.
Main Steam System Weld No. 2 on traveller No. IB21-D302B-A-SF It was determined that (1) work was conducted in accordance with traveller; (2) proper welding materials were used; (3) welding procedure requirements were met; (4) work area was free of weld rod-stubs; and (5) physical appearance was acceptable.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
8.
Calibration of Welding Machines While observing welding activities, it was noted that welding machines manufactured by Dimetrics, Incorporated were used on certain welds.
Upon questioning the licensee relative to the calibration requirements of the welding machines, it is the inspector's understanding that calibration of the machine is not required. However, the mechanical parts of the machines are checked daily, every four or five weeks, when practical, the machines are cleaned and checked for proper i
operation and it is planned that each machine will be calibrated in accordance with manufacturer's procedure yearly.
Nonetheless, records for the above were not kept. The inspector also learned that the machines were calibrated at the job site, prior to usage, by a manufacturer representative. Review of the records in-dicated that (1) calibration records for one machine is unavailable and (2) only partial data was recorded on the calibration records for 3 machines.
J The inspector stated that IE:HQ will be contacted relative to the calibration requirements of the machine and this matter is con-
sidered unresolved. The licensee stated that manufacturer's recommendation will be obtained. (461/80-03-01).

It was determined that (1) surface condition was acceptable; (2) procedure requirements were met; (3) personnel were properly qualified,; (4)
equipment was currently calibrated; and (5) additional grinding was required because linear indications were revealed.
.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required in order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, items of noncom-pliance, or deviations. Unresolved items disclosed during the inspection are discussed in paragraph 8.
Exit Interview The inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted under Persons Contacted) at the conclusion of the inspection on March 6, 1980. The inspector summarized the purpose and findings of the inspection. The licensee acknowledged the information.
