Independent Inspection Effort The inspector made surveillance tours during which the status of project work was noted, and construction activities were inspected on nuclear safety-related structures, systems u.-d facilities.

The inspection was concentrated on Plant A power block structures, but included outlying structures such as the Plant A essential service water pump stations and earthfill for the spray ponds.

Opan Site Items Control: Nonconformance Reports (NCRs), significant Quality Control Inspection Reports (QCIRs) and QA Unit audit findi'ig were reviewed for pertinence to the inspection program and for adequacy of corrective actions.

Fontainment Erection: The inspector inspected fit-up of the eighth ster.1 ring of the A-1 containment cylinder wall. Joint talerances were being assured by the steel strap inserts, and preheating was established for welding and weld repair. During this inspection period, installation of the vendor fabricated equipment hatch frame assembly into the A-1 steel containment was performed.

The inspector inspected the fit-up operations and inspected the welding of stainless cladding on the horizontal seam below the hatch. This work was controlled by a sketch,page 5 of Work Pack r DC-MI, Welding Procedure SM 11-B-9, C.

F.

Braun Drawing S-089, and Specification 300-13, and ASME Section III Subsection NE.

In the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were ider:tified A-1 Biologic Shield Wall: The inspector found that concrete fi?llng of the annular space in the radiation shield arcund the reactor pressurt vessel had been completed. The inspector inspected the welding of the s+ el capping plate at the top of the shield wall (elevation 50' 4") and vi fied that the shielded metal arc procedure SM-U-8, dated 5/7/81 was bei.1g used, and that the correct 1/8" electrode was being used on joints one inch wide, beveled 10 degrees, as shown on Industrial Enginearing Works Drawing 820 117-00-021, Rev. 6,Section F.

No violations or deviations were identified in the areas inspected.

A-1 Drywell Wall:

The inspector made Mspections of rebar placement, cadwelding of rebar joints and the placement of steel penetration frames in the A-1 drywell. ' The inspector inspected the installation of the concrete forming for placement of concrete in a 210 degree segment of the drywell to elevation 12' 6"; and also observed the checking operations to verify the pas,itioning of embedments tnd the cleanup prior to coner M z pouring.

A-1 Fuel Building Shipping Cask Storage Pit: For the placement of concrete for this pit, *he stainless steel liner was preplaced and used as the inner form.

During concrete placement, the displacement of temporary caulking permitted grout ta enter the vertical leak chases behind liner welds.

The bettom horizontal. leak chase was plugged effectively blocking gravity flow of any future leaking liquid to a sump.

A Nonconforming Condition Report (NCR) was prepared under which the stainless liner was removed to expose the blocked leakage channels near the bottom of the pit.

The inspector inspected the exposed blocked channels and the start tif clearance operations. The inspector had reviewed the NCR, discussed the matter with the project engineers and found the proposed corr.ective actions acceptable.

The Construction Engineer had referred this problem to General Electric.

This problem was judged nonsignificant and determinea to be nonreportable under 10.CF,R 50.55(e). Additional inspections will be made as the work progresses.

In the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.

Trenching for the installation of piping south of the A-2 essential service water pumphouse involved rock removal by blasting. Tne inspector inspected blasting operations and timing, and verified that ad;quate meatures were taken to protect newly placed concrete in the pump house, the nearest structure, as stipulated in Specification N6C-875, Earth and Rock Foundations and Fills, Section 4.2.1.3, Blasting During and After Placement of Concrete, and PSAR Section 2.5.

The inspector inspected the placement of a fill concrete pad, over the rock excavation which will serve as the base for the foundation of the valve

" vault" ctructure for the A-2 spray pond, under the provis;ons of sub-section 4.2.2, Foundation Treatment, Specification N6C-875.

The inspector verified compliance with QCI C-102, Foundation and Fill, Earthfill Control Testing and with Section 4.2.2 of Construction Specification N60-875, Earth ar.d Rock Foundations and Fills.

In the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.

Braun Co., rejected the vendor's proposed modification to the valves.

'

Deficient valve disks are to be replaced by new disks and cast to the proper configuration. The NRC inspector was informed that seven valves were returned to the vendor and that the other seven are being held in the Hartsville warehouse, pending final resolution.

(Closed) 518/520/80-27-02) Inadequate Wedge Bolt F.xpansion Anchors by Rawlplug (NCR HTM-COB-8002). The licensee has determined that one-inch anchors are adequate for STRIDE supports already installed. Rawlplug anchors are inadequate for certain STRIDE pipe systems and for TVA

- designed systems in balance of plant (B0P) structures. The inspector has desermined thtt one-in.ch Rawiplug anchors have been removed from stock.and are isolated pending a resolution to scrap or ship them off site.

7.

Plant B Construction The inspector inspected preparations for placement of concrete to protect rebars and containment anchor bolts at the base of Unit B-1 containment during the_ indefinite suspension of construction. The completed placement and curing operations were inspected. The inspector made an inspection of concrete flaw removals throughout the B-1 complex and the preparations for patch repairs.

The controliing documents are C. F. Braun Specification 300-01 Concrete-TVA STRIDE, and TVA quality control instructions C-201 Concrete - Concrete Placement and C-208 Sampling and Testing of Plastic Concrete which appear to be adequate to protect the rebar, chair welds and

.and anchor bolts from corrosion.

In the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.

The inspector has determined that equipment being received is stored and provided preventive maintenance under e:.isting requirements and p ocedures.

ENDES personnel have been reviewing existing procedures and requiraments for long-term storage. A number of new procedures are being developed.

At present, Standard Operating Procedare SOP-58, R2, dated 10/14/80, Periodic Inspection of Delayed Portion of Plent B is used as a base for cortrol and

.pi:nning of site protective meausres. These measures are being periodically
