2.
Licensee Action on Previous Insoection Findinas (Closed) Infraction (STN 50-482/80-11):
Failure to Specif Appropriate Acceptance Criteria. The NRC insoector reviewed ICP 313, Interim Change to Procedure CWP-506 for Welding Techniques N-1-1-B-1 and N-1-1-BA-1.
It was determined that the acceptance criteria for weld reinforcement is now consistent with that specified in paragraph NF-4426 of ASME B&PV Code,Section III 1974 Edition throuah Summer 1975 Addenda for fabricating com-ponent supports.
This item is considered closed.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (STN 50-482/80-20):
Qualification of Procedures for Welding P Number Base Material to A Number 8 Weld Material Used as Base Material.
The NRC inspector reviewed Welding Procedure CWP 507, Revision 12 and determined that the procedure now includes Daniel
!
International Corporate Office Revision 26 to the procedure.
This item is considered resolved.
(Closed) Violation (STN 50-482/81-04):
Receiving inspections did not verify that required heat treatment information was specified on the certified material test reports for certain bolting materials.
The NRC inspector re-viewed the corrected copies of the ce. tified material test reports which now include the required heat treatment information.
The records documenting-2-

.
the training of 18 QC services personnel to re-emphasize the importance of checking all chemical and physical properties on the material test reports were made available to the NRC inspector for review.
This item is considered closed.
3.
Site Tour The NRC inspector toured tne Reactor Building and Auxiliary Building to observe construction activities in progress and housekeeping practices.
No violations or deviations were identified.
4.
Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Pioina The NRC inspector observed welding activities and reviewed weld docunen-tation on the following Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary piping system field welds: Weld F104-R1 on Drawing I-LOOP 1(Q), Weld F206 on Drawing I-LOOP 2(Q), and Welds F306 and F308 on Drawing I-LOOP 3(Q).
In the areas inspected, no discrepancies were noted concerning traveler docu-mentation, welder qualification, procedure ccmpliance,and material control.
While observing the welding of temporary attachments for fit up of Weld F308, the NRC inspector noted that the welding machine was grounded to the base plate of a Steam Generator vertical support column which nad the potential to cause damage to the two bearings in the support column.
The observation was reported to the Daniel International Project Quality Inspection Manager and Project Welding Engineer for resolution.
A deficiency report, DR No. ISD 7059M, and interoffice communication, PWE No. 465, were issued to assess the potential damage and prevent recurrence.
This item is considered unresolved pending resolution of the above deficiency report.
5.
Other Safety-Related Weldina The NRC inspector observed welding of the flued head to oenetration sleeve, Weld F100 on Drawing I-M03AB01(Q) in the Main Steam piping system.
In the areas inspected, no discrepancies were noted concerning traveler documen-tation, welder qualification, procedure compliance, and material control.
The NRC inspector also discussed a 1980 ASME B&PV Code Committee interpre-tation with Daniel International and Kansas Gas and Electric personnel; Interpretation III-80-65 states that all new performance qualifications for welders shall be in accordance with the latest edition of Section IX.
Daniel International takes the position that a 1976 ASME B&PV Committee Code interpretation permits new qualifications to be performed in accordance
'
with the 1974 Edition through Summer 1975 Addenda of Section IX.
Since the 1980 interpretation does not support the Daniel International position, this item is considered unresolved pending a clarification of the two interpretations.
