a.
Review of Procedures The IE inspector reviewed three welding procedure specifications (WPS) and their supporting procedure qualification reports (PQR).
WPS 2024, Rev. 1 - Gas Tungsten-Arc Welding of Stainless Steel PQR 0803AA204, Rev. 5 and 0808AA114, Rev. 3 - Qualification Reports for WPS 2024, Rev. 1

WPS 2034, Rev. 2 - Automatic Gas Tungsten-Arc Welding of Stainless
.
Steel PQR 0808AA208, Rev. 4 - Qualification Report for WPS 2034, Rev. 2 i
WPS 2037, Rev. 1 - Shielded Metal-Arc Welding of Stainless Steel PQR 0808BB112, Rev. 1 - Qualification for the Shielded Metal-Arc Welding of WPS 2037, Rev. 1 In the areas reviewed, no discrepancies with the requirements of ASME B&PV Code,Section III NB or Section IX were noted.
b.
Observation of Work The IE inspector observed the welding on two field welds in the reactor coolant loop piping. The welds were FW 0021 and FW 0029 identified on drawing FSP-0239.
The welders using the automatic gas tungsten-arc welding units were welding in accordance with WPS 2034, Rev. 2 and qualified by B&R to requirements of ASME B&PV Code,Section IX. The welding wire being used was identified type 308 (Control Heat 0083) and traceable to the certification test report.
The QC welding inspectors who had performed inspections and documented their results on the Weld Documentation Cards were certified by B&R to have completed the requirements of the B&R STP Personnel Training Manual.
Welding filler material was observed to be stored and controlled at Material Distribution Station No. 3 as required in the B&R
procedure for control of welding materials, MECP-8.
Three welders were observed taking performance qualification tests
'
in the B&R Welder Qualification Testing Center. The welding position, material and welding process being used were consistent with the requirements specified in welder qualification procedure MECP-1 for qualifying to ASME Code,Section IX.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
4.
Other Safety Related Piping
'
The IE inspector observed a partially completed weld in the Boron Recycle System identified FW 0011 on drawing 3M361P-ER1022-UB3. The welding rod used for welding the pipe was type 308 (Control Heat 0079)
as required by the welding procedure WPS 2024 and traceable to the

certification test report. The QC welding inspector performing the required inspections designated on the Weld Documentation Card was certified by B&R to be qualified in accordance with the B&R STP Personnel Training Manual.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
5.
Exit Interview The IE inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in paragraph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on February 29, 1980, and sum-marized the purpose, scope and findings of the inspection.
