Functional or Program Areas Inspected 1.
Plant Tours One or more plant areas were toured several times each week during the reporting period to observe general construction practices, area cleanliness, and storage / maintenance of material and equipment.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
2.
Concrete Placement The inspector performed surveillance of containment upper fuel pool wall pours CT1W13-4A&B, CTS 9-1, AND CTW 13-2A, a total of approxi-mately 600 yards of concrete.

V
'
The following conditions were noted by inspection:
a.
Forms were secure and appreciably leak tight.
.
b.
Preplacement inspections were performed and acceptable'.
c.
QC inspectors were assigned for pour surveillance. Their acti-vities and number were adequate.
d.
Concrete test personnel were adequate and performed their test functions correctly and at the proper frequencies.
Delivery and placement of conctete was satisfactory. The inspector e.
performed a surveillance of the batch plant operational supply and at the truck to chute. Concrete was pumped to the placement area and deposited via a flexible boot which adequately confined the concrete to a minimum fall to prevent segregation.
f.
Concrete was observed to be properly consolidated using internal concrete vibrators. The vibrators were randomly checked while operating in the concrete. Vibrator technique was satisfactory.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
3.
Inspection of Material Storage Areas The inspector toured material storage areas in the power block several times each week. Numerous pieces of safety related electrical cable trays and hangers were observed on the floor in water on the 762'
Auxiliary Building. The inspector also noted safety related embeds mixed in with trash and scrap outside the power block southwest entrance. The licensee and contractor were verbally notified of the inspector's findings. The contractor took immediate action on the aforementioned items. A followup surveillance indicated proper storage and an improved awareness of storage responsibilities.
4.
Welder Qualification The inspector performed a surveillance tour of the contractor's (Baldwin) welder qualification test operation and records. General information interviews were held with the foreman and instructor.
The operation was satisfactory and appeared to be well run.
The inspector reviewed the qualification records of 28 pipefitter welders. The 13STF-050 Qualification Test Forms were reviewed in conjunction with test shack JV216 forms and radiographic test result (RR) records. Ten of the 28 dates did not agree by one day.
It appeared that ten welders were qualified per BSTF 050 and issued stamps to weld one day prior to acceptance of their test weld radio-graphic exam results.
Instructions by the inspector and the Baldwin Tech Services found that problem was one of paperwork coordination.
-3-
,
The final radiographic qualification results were not going directly to the final welder qualification BSTF 050 forms. Qualification dates were corrected.
.

~
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
5.
Procedures A previous surveillance by the inspector noted the need of preheat instructions in the Zack HVAC welding procedure. This requirement by t.VS D1.1 Welding Code was relayed to the licensee and contractor.
Zack weld procedure QCP 24 Revision 5 has been released incorporating the AWS D1.1 preheat requirements.
A procedure change review by the inspector noted a disparity between ANSI N45.2.5 and the contractor structural steel erection procedure.
The licensee QA was notified and took action to void the procedure change. Approximately 50-100 bolts in containment did not have sufficient thread engagement to meet ANSI N45.2.5 thread protrusion requirements. The procedure change would have relaxed ANSI N45.2.5 requirements to an AISC Specification interpretation. The contractor has revised procedure BAP 3.1.3 per change request 68-80 to agree with the requirements of ANSI N45.2.5, paragraph 5.4, fl.
The containment bolts will be changed out to meet the requirements. Timely review and action prevented violation of an ANSI requirement.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
Unresolved Matters Unresolved matters are items about which more information is required in order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, items of noncompliance, or deviations. There are no unresolved items.
Exit Meeting The resident inspector attended an exit meeting conducted by the RIII Inspectors Neisler, Wescott, and Lee on June 27, 1980. The inspector met with the licensee representatives (denoted under Persons Contacted)
on June 6 and 27, 1980. The inspector summarized the scope and findings of the inspection performed. The licensee representatives acknowledged the findings reported in previous paragraphs.
