Functional or Program Areas Inspected 1.

Traceability and Material Certification During a surveillance of the Zack activities on the 800 ft. level of the Control Room, the inspector selected some installed safety-2-

d related HVAC hanger material for traceability and material certifi-cation check. The hanger number led to the traveler paper which identified the parts by name and control number. The control number is the same as the Purchase Order Number and was traced to the material certification paper from the Steel Company. The certifi-cation papers identified the heat number, yield, tensile, and chem-ical content. The traveler number also led to the Receiving In-spection Report number, which was also the shipment number for the material. The traceability was performed on two examples satis-factorily.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

2.

Welding Activity (

While in the Control Room area, the inspector performed a visual

,/

surveillance of two Zack welders in operation. The two welders were on Hi-Boys, SMAW welding hanger gussets to imbed plates with 7018 electrodes. The quality of the welds appeared to be visually accept-able. The electrodes used were warm to touch and were from nearby heated caddies. Rod stubs were disposed of in special cans. The operation was clean and appeared to be under control of the floor supervisor. The operation was in compliance with Specification AWS D1.1.

The inspector reviewed the qualifications of the two welders.

Records indicated both men were qualified per applicable procedure and issued stamps on a specific date. Test results were reviewed and indicated both men were qualified for applicable type and size electrode, plate, and position. Test results were signed and dated by the Zack QC Supervisor.

The inspector interviewed welding personnel on two floors in regard to applicability of preheat weld requirements. Floor supervisors and welders were svare of AWS D1.1 requirements for preheat, and when applicaole. Work had only progressed to the point where only three preheat welds were completed in the area. These were pointed out to the inspector. The personnel were aware of the type of pre-beat equipment used.

The inspector checked on the type of paint used on HVAC welds. The floor supervisor was in control of the paint, which was ZRC, Sealube of Quincy, Mass. This type was one of the four acceptable by Spec 1C2910 Page 3-44.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

3.

Storage and Marking of Materials The inspector performed a surveillance of outside and inside Zack stored HVAC material. This did not include dampers and operating-3-

units stored by Baldwin in controlled warehouses. The Zack storage appeared orderly and controlled. Material was blocked off the ground and protected with only two minor exceptions. These were corrected immediately. Material was marked with yellow Nies,sen marker per requirements of Specification K2910.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

4.

Weld Rod Storage and Control The inspector performed a surveillance of the Zack weld rod storage shack in the Control Building. All low hydrogen electrode (7018)

was in hermatically sealed containers or in the warming oven as required by AWS D1.1 specification. When questioned, the attendant stated he had never seen any 7018 rod not so sealed or controlled.

The attendant demonstrated his system for handling electrodes at change of shift and at morning issue. He kept the rod hot in caddies or warming oven, and was aware that any cold rod turned in would have to be thrown away. Records also indicated that the weld rod oven was calibrated bi-monthly to specification. Records also indicated a regular functional check of all weld rod caddies signed by QC.

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. There are no unresolved items.

Exit Interview The inspector met with site representatives (denoted under the Persons Contacted paragraph) at the conclusion of the inspection on March 19, 1980. The inspector summarized the scope and findings of the inspection.

The licensee acknowledged the findings.
