Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (0 pen) Infraction (STN 50-482/78-12):
Failure to Control Special Processes.
During a previous inspection, the IE inspector determined that RECO procedures controlling welding did not specify cleanliness and protection of welding surfaces.
It was observed that mill scale was not removed from the base metal prior to welding of the emergency fuel oil tanks.
During this inspection, the IE inspector reviewed five radiographs, V-1 through V-5, for Weld 20, Job 238.
No apparent defects were noted on the radiographs.
The other circumferential welds of the fuel tank were visually examined.
From these observa-tions, the IE inspector questioned the conservatism of selecting Weld 20 to radiograph.
The IE inspector also observed several small areas of overlap on Weld 20, which were not identifiable on the radiograph.
Possibility of overlap on other welds could not be reviewed due to insufficient cleaning of the welds.
This matter will remain open pending review of the final resolution.

.
Specific activities observed included:
Pre-placement QC inspection Batch plant operation Batch plant calibration records Concrete delivery and placement Concrete consolidation Concrete Field Testing Casting of compressive strength samples The IE inspector also reviewed placement of reinforcing steel for wall placement OC 143 WO4.
Activities observed were found to be in accordance with Bechtel Specifications 10466-C-101, 103, 112 and 191.
fio items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
6.
Safety Related Piping During a site tour, the IE inspector selected two prefabricated pipe spools (. temporarily stored in the auxiliary building awaiting instal-lation) for review of receiving documentation.
The two spools were idertified as 1-EM-02-S-007/ll4 and 1-EM-02-S-003/ll4 fabricated by Dravo.
During review of the receiving records and quality assurance documentation, it was determined that material test reports could not be readily retrieved using only information and records in the document vault.
The problem of retrievability was previously identified by the licensee's QA organization.
Quality Control had started reorganization of certain files to alleviate this problem.
The matter of retrievability of material test reports will be followed up during a future inspection.
fio items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
7.
Exit Meeting The IE inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in para-graph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on March 29, 1979.
