Review of Overinspection Program Illinois Power Company notified the NRC Region III office on July 26, 1985, of their request to terminate the Overinspection Program for electrical hangers (cable tray hangers and conduit supports). In addition, Illinois Power Company on August 6, 1985, requested permission to terminate the Overinspection Progran for heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts and duct supports. As a supplement to the information provided by Illinois Power in their letters, a review of both the discrepancies (NCR reports) and of the engineering evaluations was performe .

a. NCRs Reviewed at the Clinton Site .

On August 23, 1985, a review of the discrepancies (NCR reports)-

was initiated at the Clinton Power Statio Approximately 300 Nonconformance Reports (NCRs) were reviewe These reports were reviewed for compliance with governing procedures and completeness; in addition, the inspector sought to develop a qualitiative understanding of the types and significance of the discrepancies. The'NCRs reviewed were as follows:

'

this type of equipmen (c) Based on the inspector's involvement with similar progra'ns at other Nuclear Power Stations of the same vintage, the types and significance of the discrepancies are at.alitatively very similar to those found in the other program _

.

. NCR Review at Sargent & Lundy Office On August 30, 1985, a review of the engineering evaluations of the discrepancies associated with the NCRs was initiated at Sargent &

Lundy Engineers' Chicago office. One hundred and one engineering evaluations were reviewed. The engineering evaluations were reviewed for procedural requirements, technical methodology, adequacy and completion. The engineering evaluations which were reviewed are as follows:

o c. Welding Issues As a method to determine the overall significance of the welding discrepancies reviewed by the NRC inspector, the discrepancies (which were welding discrepancies against AWS D1.1 were reviewed for compliance with the Visual Weld Acceptance Criteria (VWAC)

developed by the Nuclear Construction Issues Group (NCIG). This review determined that virtually all of the weld discrepancies which resulted in a strength reduction of less than 10% (categories A and 81) would not have been identified as weld discrepancies under the NCIG Visual Weld Acceptance Criteria. This new acceptance criteria was approved by the NRC on June 26, 1985, in a letter from J. Knight, Acting Director, Division of Engineering, NRR, to Mr. D. E. Dutton, Chairman, Nuclear Construction Issues Group, Southern Company Services. The use of this new acceptance criteria must be requested in a change to the Safety Analysis Report (SAR)

and approved by the NRC. This request has been submitted to the NR d. Audits The NRC inspector reviewed " Report on Special Internal Audit No. 128."

Type of Component Division Instrument piping PMD, CID, EMD HVAC ductwork and duct supports CQD Cables EPED Cable terminations EPED Cable trays EPED Conduits EPED Cable tray supports SED Conduit supports SED The audit represented an acceptable effort by the Sargent & Lundy QA organization. The general findings and corrective actions indicate that the QA program was functioning in an acceptable manne e. Conclusion During this inspection no violations or deviations were identifie This inspection revealed no violation of FSAR commitments as they pertain to design and analysis. Also, the procedures dealing with the dispositioning of the discrepancies were functioning properl _ - _ _ . - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . - - - _ _ _ - _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ - - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - - - _ -
