licensee confirmed the acceptability of completed earthwork at WNP- No violations or deviations were identifie CAP Module 2 - Concrete (1) -Personnel Qualifications - Technical personnel scheduled for the Concrete Readiness Review were identified by the licensee as being the same as those involved in the Earthwork Readiness Review except for one reviewer. Qualification of the Earthwork Review team had been inspected and the inspection was documented on RV report 50-508/86-04 and 50-508/86-0 Personnel technical records for the new prospective reviewer were inspected. Verification of employment history and training had not yet been completed for the new reviewer. The licensee stated that these would be completed prior to performance of any reviews by the new reviewe No violations or deviations were identifie (2) Review Plan and Checklist Preparation - At the time of the inspection, the licensee was still in the process of preparing the review plan and had not yet generated review checklist Review preparation activities were discussed with the CAP Manager and the Review Team Leader. The discussions indicated that preparations were underway for a comprehensive review of completed concrete activitie No violations or deviations were identifie . Extended Construction Delay Activities (0 pen) IE Notice 85-56 - Inadequate Environment Control for Components and Systems in Extended Storage or Lay-Up The IEN was opened in February of 1986 by RV inspection report 50-508/86-02. The IEN and the inspection report identified a need for the licensee to review its preservation program and determine the need for internal visual inspection of tanks, heat exchangers, et Subsequently, the licensee issued 155 Maintenance Work Requests (MWR's) to inspect and preserve 48 safety-related and 179 balance of plant pumps, tanks and heat-exchangers. The completed NWR's were reviewed and it was noted that foreign material,. water and corrosion were observed in some balance of plant component The licensee stated that no foreign material was observed in safety-related components and that the approximately 19 balance of '

plant components that were observed with foreign material, water or corrosion had been cleaned and preserved if required. The inspector ,

was unable to review QA activities in relation to this matter due,to .

personnel availability. This IE Notice will be further inspected on

t b. Corporate QA Audit - 86-368 Regarding Pre'servation of Assets Preventative Maintenance Program The subject QA audit was performed b'y the corporate QA office on June 9-13, 1986 and the audit report was issued on July 11, 198 The subject QA audit was reviewed and found to be a thorough review and assessment:of the programmatic QA implementation of the preservation program. The. audit included a limited amount of actual inspection of hardware. The inspector noted that the audit could be further enhanced by more technical hardware reviews and more program hardware completeness reviews (i.e. all components are being preserved in a technically correct manner). The inspector acknowledged that the programmatic QA audit was intended to verify 10 CFR 50 Appendix "B" implementation but also noted that such programmatic verification could be enhanced by an increased emphasis on hardware adequac The QA audit listed procedures that provided applicable requirements for the preservation program. The NRC inspector reviewed the procedures and observed that the QA activities that were being performed in relation to the preservation program for a plant in an extended construction delay were not specifically provided for in the following procedures:

-

NOS 18, Rev. 3, Plant QA Surveillance Program

-

WMC 051, Rev. 2, Preservation.of Assets Preventative Maintenance Program

-

. PPM 10.100.19, Rev. 2, Stored Equipment Maintenance and Preservation

-

PQA 03, Rev. 6, Plant Surveillance Activitie The above noted inspector observations regarding enhancement of the QA audits and inclusion of QA extended construction delay activities in the applicable procedures were discussed with the license Pending further inspection this was identified as inspector follow-up item 86-10-0 No violations or deviations were identifie c. Fire Protection System On July 2, 1986, the licensee reported the failure of a WNP-1 temporary construction fire protection system and subsequent flooding of the General Service Building. The failure was subsequently attributed to the separation of a victaulic coupling joint. The inspector discussed the event with the licensee and inspected the installed WNP-3 fire protection system to determine the adequacy of the installation. The inspector noted that the licensee had evaluated applicability of the reported WNP-1 condition and considered WNP-3 to be less succeptible due to the following: '

The majority of the plant fire protection system is. permanently installed welded piping. Victaulic couplings were used in some applications but externally appeared to be properly installe z, - s u , ,
