Plant Tour (Unit

1

and 2)

The inspectors

toured the Unit Nos.

1

and

2 reactor buildings, primary

containments,

and the Unit No.

2 suppression

chamber.

They observed

work in-progress,

completed work, and interviewed craftsmen

and technicians

concerning their activities.

.

The inspector

observed

an imperfection in the Unit No.

2 primary

containment

concrete shell.,

A 4 foot long by approximately

1 1/2"

wide flaw in the concrete

extends horizontally across

penetration

X-

50B.

This appears

to be located at the construction joint for concrete

placement

391-W-21

as depicted

on drawing ZC-391, Revision 3.

The

,

flaw is filled with loose debris

such

as bits of wood and loose

sand

which would have resulted

from improper cleaning of the joint before

concrete

placement.

A review of Field Inspection

Plan C-8-1, 2,

3 - 391-W-21 for this

-'lacement indicates .that

a preplacement

cleanliness

inspection

was

made.

Furthermore,

item 17 of the Concrete

Post Placement

Report does

not reflect that repairs

were necessar).

There is

a handwritten note

stating,

"Upon complete

removal of forms

an inspection will be made

'nd

repairs if necessary will be documented

on FIPC-8-3C-391-W-21."

The licensee

was unable to locate

any evidence that this inspection

was performed.

The Technical Specification for Forming, Placing, Finishing,

and

Curing of Concrete,

C-8, papragraph

18.

Inspection,

requires

inspections

be performed for cleanup before concrete

placement

and for imperfections

afte~ form removal.

The failure to properly perform these

inspections

is an Item of Noncompliance

(388/80-11-01).

A wall penetration

in Unit 2, Area 30, elevation 670',

as depicted

on

drawing X-30-2, was observed

to have several

reinforcement

bars

damaged

from core drilling operations.

Further investigation into the documentation

and repair of these defects

disclosed that recent similar problems

had

initiated several

corrective actions.

The licensee

issued

MCAR-1-48 describing cut rebar in the east refueling

pool girder resulting from core drilling.

This resulted in modifications

to Field Procedure

FP-C-1 requiring seria)ization

and logging of

excavation

checksheets

and review by the

Lead Civil Engineer.

However,

interviews and discussions

with the engineering staff indicated that

field engineers,

other than civil, were required to detemine if rebar

had

been cut or damaged.

When this was pointed out as

a weakness

in

the program,

the licensee

issued

an Interoffice Memorandum,

dated July

10,

1980, altering field procedure

FP-C-1 to require the

Lead Civil

Engineer to "...verify the cut rebar information..." The inspector

had

no further questions

concerning this matter at this time.

s

(Closed)

Unresolved

Item (387/80-12-02)

Piping system turnover.

The

NRC inspector

expressed

concern that piping systems

were being turned

over for filling and flushing prior to the supports

receiving final

inspection.

The concern

was that dynamic forces during flushing could

over stress

the pipe.

The inspector

reviewed the Bechtel letter,

dated

June

27,

1980, Subject:

Pipe Supports for Safety Related

Systems.

The Project Engineer

has reaffirmed that the dynamic loads are negligible,

valve closure

times are in excess of 10 seconds,

and systems

are

designed

to be full of water when

pumps are started.

Based on'he

foregoing information, this matter is closed.

orts and Restraints

(Unit No.

1)

In inspection report 78-02 the

NRC inspector identified a condition in

which the cap,screws

joining the rear bracket to body of mechanical

shock suppressors

did not have .full thread

engagement.

The licensee

generated

Nonconformance

Report

No., 2721 which documented

the condition

and dispositioned

the corrective actions required.

The corrective

actions

were to replace. the short screws in installed

and stored

restraints

and to alert the manufacturer.

The inspector

reviewed the

ITT Grinnell letter, dated

June 2,

1978,

acknowledging

the problem and

directing replacement of the short fasteners.

"An inspection of 6 installed

and

1 stored restraints verified that

short fasteners

have

been replaced.".',This will Be further

inspected

on

a random basis

during future plant tours.

The .inspector selected

pipe supports

GBC-101-H105,

128,

and

188 for

examination of bolting materials.

The drawings for these

supports

.specify

ASME material specifications

SA-193 gr.

B-7 and

SA194 gr.

2H

for the nut and bolt materials.

The specification requires that the

materials

be marked with these

designations

so they are readily identifiable.

The inspector

was unable to locate

these

markings for

some bolts

and

nuts

on pipe supports

GBC-101-H188 and 189.

This item is considered

unresolved

pending determination of the bolt and nut materials

and the

inspection status of the supports

(387/80-17-01).

Observation of'i e Weldin

Activities (Unit No. 2)

The. NRC inspector selected

typical welding activities associated

with

piping outside the reactor coolant pressure

boundary for detailed

review and inspection.

Eight Bechtel welds were selected

and reviewed

to determine that welding was in accordance

with BOAM Rev 4 3/76 and

the

ASME Section III requirements

and that welding was conducted in

accordance

with a traveler,

welds were properly identified, the

WPS

met

ASME Code requirements,

welding parameters

specified were followed,

welding equipment

was in adequate

condition, welders

mark was marked,

welders properly qualified,

and weld history record

keeping

was adequate.

The Unit 2 pipe welds that were observed

in process

were

Review of Weldin

Material Control

The

NRC inspector reviewed the welding filler metal control system.

The procedures

for purchasing

welding materials

to meet

ASME Code

requirements

in Bechtel

WFMC-1

Rev

2 4/76

and

BQAM Rev 4 3/76 were

reviewed.

Representative

material test result cer tification for 12

lots'nd/or heats of filler metals

were reviewed for conformance

to

ASME Code and Bechtel

requirements.

The inspector expressed

concern that the weld rod control program may

not be adequate

in that

no mechanism

is currently functioning to

assess

its effectiveness.

The licensee

stated that steps

were being

taken to reinforce this area.

No items of noncompliance

were identified.

Review of ualit

Records of Com leted Field Helds

The

NRC inspector reviewed the Bechtel quality: records of 7 welds in

Unit

weld in Unit 2 to verify that- the records

covering required

inspections

met

were complete,

reflected
