Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspection.

5.

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 and facilities. The inspection was concentratea on Plant A power block structures, but included outlying structures such as the Plant A essential service water pump stations, earthfill for the spray ponds, the intake pumping station, and circulating cooling water pump house.

Open Site Item Control: Newly issued Nonconformance Reports (NCRs),

,

I significant Quality Control Inspection Reports (QCIRs) and QA Unit audit findings were reviewed for pertinence to the inspection program and for adequacy of corrective actions.

Containment Erection: The inspector inspected fit-up of the ninth steel ring of the A-1 containment cylinder wall and the third ring of the A-2 wall. Joint tolerances were being assured by the steel strap inserts, and preheating was established for welding and weld repair. The applicable code i

i for the containment welding is the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Subsection NE, 1974 Edition, including Addenda through S74.

Welding joint preparation was performed by the fabricator of the preformed steel panels in conformance with the cooe requirements. Preheat adequacy was being checked by Tempstiks.

.

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

A-2 Biologic Shield Wall:

The inspector inspected the first ring of the shield assembled on a welding jig from sections prefabricated by IEW. Welds were examined and found to be visually acceptable. The ring was ready to be removed from the jig for radiographic inspection. The controlling pro-cedures and inspection hold points are outlined in Work Package D-258-C1,

,

Addendum 3, which includes weld maps, a sequence control chart and designated weld procedures. The inspector reviewed notations on Weld Map i

Sheets 1 & 2, RB-PSW-2R3 and RB-BSW-1R2.

I No violations or deviations were identified in the areas inspected.

The inspector discussed with the QA unit supervisor preliminary findings of drawings and engineering change control audit HT-G-81-14.

Drawing control appeared to be adequate, but preliminary findings indicated late processing of ECNs and FCRs (Engineering Change Notices and Field Change Requests) by the Document Control Unit and mishandling in the field stations. This matter is being followed under infraction 518, 519, 520, 521/80-18-01.

Plant B Extended Shutdown: The inspector inspected completed concrete repairs in Unit B-1 concrete containment shield building and contiguous

Welding deficiencies by the fabricator, Industrual Engineering Works (IEW), on the biological shield walls for Unit A-1 (lower two tiers) have been corrected by TVA.

The shield for Unit A-1 has been installed, filled with concrete and capped.

Assembly of the A-2 shield sections is under way at a site shop under the controls of Work Package 0-258-C1.

IEW weld defects on the first tier for A-2 shield were corrected by TVA, and repairs are nearing completion on the second tier. The operations check lists (Attachment A to CEP.9. 08) noted the welds to be repaired.

The repair procedure and the NDE test or tests for acceptance of the repair were noted at each point on the weld map, Attachment B of CEP.9.08.

IEW completed weld repairs on the upper two tiers of the A-1 and A-2 shields and all of the B-1 shield before the hardware was released for shipment. The inspector nade periodic inspections of the site repair work and reviewed completed NCR's HHPA-087, R2; HNPA-109, R2; and HNPA-115 which detailed the repair work to be performed on Unit A-1 shield sections and partially completed NCR HNPA-108 for A-2 shield repairs.

Status of IE Circulars (0 pen) 81-08 Foundation Materials At the Hartsville site, the base mats of the nuclear island structures are founded on thick limestone rock substrata; except that control building A-1 has a #1032 crushed rock compacted fill between the focadation rock and the base mat. No settling of these nuclear island structures, or of the site pump stations is postulated.

Fill concrete was used under the electrical vault and large valve complex building for the Plant A essential service water system west of the A-2 spray pond.

Plant B structure work is under extended shutdown status.

The compacted earth fill for the A-1 and A-2 spray ponds is being constructed using a variety of soils and procured from nearby farms. These materials are selected and tested individually for their compactability.

The inspector has inspected placement and testing in several areas. This circular will be kept open pending additional inspections.
