Preservice Inspection a.
Preservice Inspection Program The inspector reviewed specific segments of the licensee's preservice inspection (PSI) program not previously examined during inspection of in progress PSI activities (Refer to NRC:RV Inspection Report No. 50-528/81-20). The PSI program was reviewed and approved by the licensee.and a Level III NDE examiner. The applicable ASME Code Edition and Addenda stated in the PSI program are'in agreement with 10 CFR 50,' paragraph.50.55a(g).
The licensee submitted four relief requests involving updating to a later Code Edition. The inspector reviewed the justifications for these exceptions. The relief requests were evaluated and found acceptable by the NRC. This action is documented in the Safety Evaluation Report (SER) related to the operation of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, dated September 1982.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
b.
Procedure Review The inspector reviewed the technical adequacy of Procedure No. NIP 954, Revision 2 of August 14, 1980 " Ultrasonic Examination Procedure for Class I and Class II Austenitic Piping."
