Licensee Action on Previous: Inspection Findings
'(00en) 50-508/80-09-05, floncomoliance - Failure to fabricate
. waste oas decay tanks in-accordance with drawing requirements
,
.
The licensee's response to the flotice of Violation was provided. in
'
TIPPSS' letter No. G03-80-2966 of November 21, 1980.
The response, as written,.did not contain sufficient information to allow an j-assessment of the licensee's actions.
Accordingly, the licensee has been directed to provide additional information.
The inspector met with representatives of the tank manufa'cturer (Richmond Engineering Comoany) and supolier (Combustion Engineering) to discuss the
.
i circumstances surrounding the deficient conditions and the tentative
course of action. The tank manufacturer's representatives attributed l
the deficient welds to " human error" and stated that a corrective action plan had not yet been fully developed.
The interior' weld
~
quality of one tank was also examined at this time.
flo additional itens of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
This item J
will be examined further following receipt of the licensee's additional
'
informa tion.

Containment Structural Weldina (CBI)
m a.
Observations of Work and Work Activities
,
Chicago Bridge and Iron (CBI) activities related to Unit 5
-
containment welding were examined for compliance to approved
,
C3I welding procedures, the contract specification, ASME and i
PSAR requirements. Observations were made of weld joint i
j identification / location, joint preparation, use of specified j
weld filler material, flDE, welder technique, preheat and l
interaass temperature control, weld size, and QC coverage.
The joints examined included penetration sleeve numbers 64B-R
,
L and 64B-L.
All activities were found to be in accordance with specified requirements.
flo items of noncompliance or deviations
,
were identified.
'
CBI control of welding filler material was examined. This
!
included observations of material storage, temperature con-
trol, issuance, and handling for compliance to procedural requirements. fio items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
b.
Review of Quality Records Records pertaining to the issuance of welding filler material
and welder qualification status for 4 welders were examined i
for comnliance to CBI procedure, Code and PSAR requirements, j -
flo items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

Containment (Steel Structures and Supports)
CBI activities related to the storage, handling, and placement of containment steel was exanined for comoliance to the contract specification (contract No. 3240-213), ASME Code, and PSAR requirements.
Specific items exanined included orotection/ preservation durino storage, tenoorary field storage / protection, handling in transit, and placement location for anproximately 20 Unit 5 vessel plates.
No itens of noncomoliance or deviations were identified.
5.
Safety Related Components EBASCO, Peter Kiewit Sons' (PKS), and Morrison Knudsen (MK) activities related to the storace handling, and orotection of safety related components and materials were examined.
Areas insoected included the Saginau storace yard, each of the contractor's storage and lay down areas, and Unit 3 and Unit 5 reactor auxiltary buildings.
Itens insoected included the four conoonent cooling water heat exchanqers, six waste gas decay tanks, six charging punos, small bore oicino stock, reinforcing steel, structural steel members, and bolting materiais. The examination included observations of identification, olacement, mounting / support (temocrary) and protection (covers /caos, desiccants, coatings,iubricants).
The activities were observed for comoliance to tne requirements of the PSAR, ANSI standard N45-2.2, and the contract specifications (Nos. 3420-251 and -263).
No items of nonconpliance or deviations were identified.
6.
Safety Related Weiding Filler Material Control The control of welding filler material for safety related components and structures was exanined for three site contractors:
Morrison-Jnudsen (Contract 263), Peter Kiewits Sons' (Ccntract 251), and CBI (Contract 213, separately discussed in paragraph 3 of this report).
The activity was examined for comoliance with the individual contractor control procedures, the contract specifications, and the PSAR.
The exanination included observations of material storage, identification, segregation, cleanliness, container integrity, temperature control, dispensation and return of filler material, and field handling / protection /
oreservation.
These activities were observed for both Unit 3 and Unit 5.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
7.
Insoection Tours of Site Facilities At various times during the inspection period the inspector made tours of the Unit 3 and 5 plant island and material storage areas, examininq general housekeeping, QC and craft supervisory coverage for work activities, availability of work documents, equipment
..
.
.
.
-4-calibration status, tagging and identification of materials, and protection of installed equipment. Ilhile housekeeping was generally good, it was observed that several areas in the Unit 3 and Unit 5 reactor auxiliary buildings had excessive amounts of standing water on the floors. This condition has been recognized by licensee representatives who indicated actions are in progress to imorove the situation. This aspect of the site maintenance will be examined further in future inspections.
8.
Mananenent ffeetings A meeting with licensee and contractor management representatives was held on November 25, 1980 to discuss the licensee's programs for the prevention and detection of deliberate malpractice and recent exoeriences in this area The develoonant of the program was initiated, in part, as a result of problems encountered with a site contractor (refer to NRC Inspection Report No. 50-508/509-80-14).
An exit interview was held on November 13, 1980 with various representatives of the licensee and EBASCO.
A final exit interview was held on December 4, 1980 with Mr. J. C. Lockhart.
During the interviews, the inspector summarized the scope and findings of the inspection.
