Site Tour

Upon arrival the inspectors

conducted

a tour of the facility to observe

the activities of construction,

housekeeping

and general

compliance

with the

FSAR and applicable

codes

and standards.

During the tour the inspectors

observed that the Unit

1 pr essurizer

relief tank mounting assembly

had two anchor bolts without full thread

engagement,

one anchor bolt which was not torqued

and

had

some slotted

holes in the tank foundation which were not covered

by the washer for

the anchor bolt attachment.

The tank is classified

as design class II

and

PGRE class

E in the

FSAR.

As such,

the tank is not a nuclear safety

related

component

and not subject to the quality assurance

criteria of

10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

The licensee

stated that the observed

mounting

conditions would be evaluated

and resolved.

No items of noncompliance

or deviations

were identified.-

The licensee

response

to the item of noncompliance

was delineated

by letter of October 26, 1979.

The inspector verified that the form

for documentation of final walkdown inspection

was modified'o

specifically include inspection for arc strikes.

The contractor

(Kellogg) utilizes

a three tiered walkdown system.

The crafts personnel

perform the first walkdown and note deficient

conditions

on field sketches.

These

marked

up field sketches

are then given to the Kellogg engineering

department for walkdown

and verification.

These results

are then given to Kellogg gA who

performs the inspections

required

by procedure

ESD-243

(Pipe

Rupture Restraints).

Deficient conditions

noted are listed on a

repair process

sheet for work performance.

The licensee

has

developed

a procedure titled "Pipe Rupture

Re-

straint Repair Instructions"

(no. NFI-2-16) which addresses

inspec-

tions required to be performed

by the licensee's

mechanical

group

on the repair of pipe rupture restraint welds.

The inspector

examined

documentary

evidence that the required inspections

were

heing performed.

The inspector

examined about

150 weldment repairs in the areas

of the Unit 1 turbine building and pipeway.

The pipeway appeared

to be free of arc strikes

and repairs of arc strikes

were being

conducted in the Turbine Building in accordance

with procedures.

The inspector

had

no further questions.

Infraction:

Failure to se arate mutuall

s in a manner re uire

The licensee

had completed separation

work and inspections

in the

Unit 1 control

room panels.

Control

room panel circuit separation

work and inspections

were in progress

on Unit 2.

The main control board layout drawings

had

been color coded

by

Engineering to show circuits requiring separation.

The licensee

inspections

were performed using these

drawings

as

a basis

and

documented

on sign off sheets.

The inspector

examined

the inspec-

tion documentation

and

had

no questions.

The inspector visually examined all Unit 1 main control boards

(Nos.

1VB1, 2,

3 and 4). It appeared

that redundant circuits

had been isolated

as required

by Engineering

Department directions.

The licensee

had satisfactorily corrected

the noncompliance for

Unit 1 identified as 275/78-12-01.

The correction of the non-

compliance in Unit 2, identified as 323/78-12-01, will be examined

during

a future inspection.

The licensee

had identified scattered

cracking (crazing) in the

cladding at the edge of the weld material

on the outside diameter

of the ring dams.

The licensee

has not yet determined

the depth

of the indications or the disposition.

The Unit 2 Steam Generators

were examined with liquid penetrant.

Crazing

was identified on

6 out of 8 ring dams extending

up to

9 inches out from the ring dam.

The depth of the indications

has not yet been determined.

The licensee

submitted

a repair program for the Units

1 and

2

Volume Control

Tanks to the

NRC Regional Office on July 16,

1979.

The repair program was submitted in accordance

with ASf1E Code

Section

XI requirements

to correct construction deficiencies.

The

deficiencies

include surface defects,

excess

weld crown, weld

defects,

and excessive

misalignment in the

head to shell welds.

The inspector

reviewed the results of the original

and continuing

nondestructive

examinations

and the licensee's

progress

in correcting

the deficiencies.

Repair efforts appeared

to be in accordance

with the

ASME Code and the licensee's

repair program.

The inspector

visually examined

the interior of each

VCT and identified small

areas

of excess

reinforcement

on the interior longitudinal

and

top head to shell welds.

On the interior longitudinal

seam,

excess

reinforcement of between

3/32 inch and 1/8 inch was observed

to be

a total of approximately

18 inches

in length

on a

6 foot

long seam.

On the top head to shell interior weld the

same

excess

reinforcement

was observed to be

a total of approximately

3 inches in length

on

a 20 foot long seam.

Both Unit 1 and

Unit 2 tanks exhibited these conditions.

The Unit No.

1 and

2

VCT were constructed

to the

ASME Code

Section III as

Class

C. tanks.

Westinghouse

No. 110F213

S.H.

radiography in accordance

with

paragraph

U~~J-51 of ASME Code Section VIII.

ASME Section VIII

(1968), paragraph

Ull-51 specifies that the finished weld crown

of joints to be radiographed

may not exceed 1/16-inch for the

reinforcement thickness of the VCT's.

Full radiography is required

on

VCT tank seams.

The inspector

examined llestinghouse

Ouality Control Releases

gCR No.

appears

to be

a deviation from committment.

General

The licensee

stated that they had instituted and completed

an

'xpanded

program to evaluate

every full penetration field weld

on the Unit 1 pipeway

by magnetic particle examination to

establish

the adequacy of their program for joint identification

and repair.

A sample of shop welds

had

been selected for exam-

-ination to form a data

base to establish

the adequacy of the

originally specified inspection

program applied

by the vendor

of the structural steel.

The results of the shop weld examination

program will be examined during

a future inspection.

The licensee

had begun

an evaluation of the Unit 2 heavy section,

highly restrained joints in the turbine building and pipeway.

The Unit 2 evaluation

and repair efforts will be examined during

a future inspection.
