Site Tour

The inspectors and the Senior Resident Inspector conducted a tour of both units on May 12, 1981 to observe completed work and work in progress. The inspector observed a gouge approximately one-inch in diameter and one-half inch deep on a Unit 3 steam generator hold down bolt embed plate. The licensee investigated the gauge and concluded that it had inadvertently been made while cutting convenience steel

in the area. A nonconformance report was initiated to identify and resolve this issue. The inspectors also observed that the Unit 3 auxiliary feedwater pump "B" motor space heater was not energized. The licensee took prompt action to correct this situation.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

Licensee Action on potent.fal 10 CFR 50.55(e) Reportable Ccnstruction Deficiency

)

. The inspector examined the licensee's action regarding hydecgen embrittlement of 3/4-inch helical lock washers, reported as a potential 50.55(e)

'

item on March 17, 1981. The licensee has determined this deficiency to be not reportable under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55(e) because the subject lock washers are not intended for use, nor have any been installed in seismic applications. The licensee has taken appropriate action to quarantine the defective lock washers and determine the failure mechanism. The lock washers were. supplied by the Ray Briston Company.

Inc. of Portland, Oregon. Metallographic examin lon of the lock washers which fractured in-service disclosed that they were embrittled and contained severe intergranular and transgranular cracks. The probable-cause of the cracking is hydrogen embrittlemer.; occurring during the pickling stages of the electrozine plating process. Mechanically zinc-coated washers showed no evidence of an embrittled structure or incipient-cracks. The licensee intends to submit a report to the NRC Region V office on this issue for information purposes.

This issue is considered closed.

Electrical Components ar.d Systems - Review of Quality Assurance Implenanting Procedures - Fischbach-Moore The inspector examined the following procedures based on Ebasco contract specification WPPSS-3240-467, " Drilled-In Expansion Type Anchors in Concrete."

hschbach and Moore - C/QCP-501 S3, Installation of Expansion Type

" Drilled-In" Concrete A.tchors.

Morrison Knudson - CP-21, Hilti Quality Class I and II Anchoring Devices.

J. A. Jones - WE-WP-12, Drilled-In Expansion Type Anchors.

The inspector found that the Fischbach and Moore and the J. n. Jones procedures were lacking perpendicularity or angularity spuification and inspection requirements contrary to the contract specification.

The Morrison Knudson procedure required spacing of bolts per the manufacturer's recomendations rather than by the more conservative criteria of the contract specification.

The inspector also found that the Ebasco specification did not state spacing requirements of anchor bolts from abandoned bolt holes, concrete embedments and other protrusions. The Ebasco specification did not clearly state the quality control inspections required in accomplishing this activity.

Containment Penetrations a.

Review of Quality Assurance Implementing Procedures - PKS The inspector examined the following procedures and drawings which govern the purchase, handling and installation of containment mechanical penetrations for conformance to PSAR, ASME B&PV Code and ANSI standard requirements:

Specification lo. 3240-54 - Technical Specifications-Containment

,

Mechanical Penetrations.

'

PKS Procedure No. WI-D-135 Rev. 2 - Care Maintenance Instruction Reactor Building Piping Penetration Assembly PKS Procedure No. WI-306-Rev. 3 - Reactor Building Penetrations Ebasco Drawing No. 3240 G-1300 - Reactor Building Piping Penetrations PKS Drawing No. PKS-SK-251-45 - Containment Penetration No. 23 Reactor Building

Procedure No. PKS-WI-306, Rev. 3, paragraph 6.13 specifies pneumatic testing of process piping for penetration nos. 23, 24 and 44 in accordance with procedure PKS-EP-6. Procedure PKS-EP-6, Rev. 3

" Test Preparation Procedure for Piping and Components" paragraph 5.3 and the applicable ASME Code, Subsection NC G112 allow a pneumatic test in lieu of a hydrostatic test only when (1) the components are so designed and supported that they cannot be safely filled with water or (2) when components which are not readily dried are to be used in services where traces of the testing medium cannot be tolerated. Procedure PKS-EP-6 further specifies, in paragraph 5.15(b) that during a pneumatic test, joints shall be examined for leakage by soap bubble solution or equivalent.

It appears that the exterior of the process pipe will be inaccessible for this examination following completion of penetration welding.

The exterior of the penetration guard pipe welds will also be inaccessible after concrete is placed around the penetrations.

Procedure PKS-WI-306 does not specify that these examinations must be perfomed prior to operations which will render the surfaces inaccessible for examination. The licensee is investigating these issues and they will be examined during a subsequent inspection.

this is a followup item (50-508/509/81-09-02).

Review cf Weld Procedure Specification and Quality Assurance Procedp es

The inspector examined the following weld procedure specifications and supporting procedure qualification records for compliance with PSAR, specification and ASME B&PV Code requirements:

Wald Procedure Specification-WPS-25 Rev. 4 - GTAW-SMAW P8 to P8 i

Procedure Qualification Record No.1,.Rev. 2 Procedure Qualification Record No. 2, Rev. 2 Weld Procedure Specification-WPS-95, Rev. 3 - GTAW-SMAW P8 to P8 Procedure Qualification Record No. 2, Rev. 2 Procedure Qualification Record No, 9, Rev.1 No items of nonctsmpliance were identified, c.

Observation of Work and Work Activities The inspector examined work activities associated with containment penetration nos. 23 and 24 for conformance with contractor procedures, the PSAR and the ASME B&PV Code. Activities examined includes.

'

storage and maintenance of penetration assemblies at final location, cleanliness of internal su'rfaces, rigging and handling of partially completed penetrations, completeness of work release package and indication of status of completed activities, control of weld filler material, and liquid penetrant examination of a weld repair excavation.

-

Penetrations were protected from overhead damage in accordance with contractor procedures. The inspector identified excessive amounts of grinding debris on the interior surfaces of the bellows expansion joints in both penetrations. This condition was promptly corrected. The inspector examined the extent of planning and knowledge of quality control inspectors and construction superintendent of the sequence of operations on this relatively complex activity.

The contractor appeared to be adequately prepared for this activity i.

with the exception of the procedure questions discussed in paragraph 7a. above.

.

The inspector identified a revised work release in the construction copy of the penetration no. 23 work package dated March 25, 1981 with assigned sketch no. PKS-SK-251-45. This revised work release

' was issued to transmit RFI-1581-FP, Rev. O but contained no work release number or revision number as required by contractor procedure

"~~

nos, fKS-EP-13, Rev. 7, " Work Release Preparation" and PKS-EP-1 Rev.14 " Document Control". The quality engineer's copy of the work release package did not contain a copy of this unnumbered

work release which transmitted RFI-1581-FP, Rev. O.

The circumstances l-and implications of this unnumbered work release will be examined during a subsequent inspection. This item is considered unresolved

The inspector observed two apparent linear indications at the root of field weld no. 21 on penetration no. 23. One indication was less than 1/4-inch long and one indication was slightly greater than 1/4-inch long. This weld had been visually examined by a contractor quality engineer and had been accepted. Contractor procedure no. PKS-QP-15, Rev. 2. " Visual Weld Examination," paragraph 7.3 (B) specifies, for ASME Section III, class 3 welds,'an acceptance criteria of "No visible cracks on external surfaces, or internal surfaces when readily accessible".

Further examination of the indications by liquid penetrant indicated that the indications were not cracks and were acceptable. This was confimed by an examination of the radiograph of the weld.

No items of noncompliana were identified.
