The inspector

observed

work activities in progress,

completed work and

plant status

in several

areas

of the plant during

a general

inspection

of Units

1 and 2.

The inspector

examined work items for obvious

defects

or noncompliance with NRC requirements

or licensee

commitments.

Particular note

was, taken regarding

the presence

of quality control in-

spectors

and indications of quality control activities through visual

evidence

such

as inspection

records,

material identifications,

nonconformance

and acceptance

tags.

In addition, the inspector

interviewed craft and

supervisory

personnel

encountered

in the work areas.

No items of noncompliance

were identified.

documentation

and resolution for selection

and installation of thermal

element

brackets.

Discussions with licensee

and Architect/Engineer

representatives

indicate that static loading

on the mounting brac)et

was the only

The inspector

reviewed the revision to the Field Procedure

FP-E-10 which was modified

to include separation

external

to electrical

panels/equipment.

However,

the licensee's. corrective action does not address

existing separation

violations nor action to be taken to preclude further noncompliances.

Item 387/ 81-01-02

ertaining to maintenance

and

survei

ance of e ectrical

pane s/equipment in storage.

The inspector

reviewed the licensee's

program for maintenance/surveillance

of storage

requirements for stored equipment.

The

inspector determined that

implementation of the program (consisting of scheduled daily surveillance

by elevation

and areas)

appeared

to be inadequate.

The inspector

examined

areas

30 and

32 at elevation 683'-0 of Unit 2.

Panel

Nos.

2C0201,

2C022 and

2D274 were not heated

In addition, the

protective cover for 2C021

was tom in several

places,

exposing the

panel to dirt and dust.

Construction

personnel

stated this area

had

been inspected earlier that morning.

This item remains 'open.

Electrical

Cables

and Terminations

- Work Observations

The inspector observed

work performance, partially completed

work and

completed work, as appropriate,

relative to select cables,

raceways

and conduit to determine whether the requirements

of applicable specifications,

work procedures

and inspection

procedures

are being accomplished

in

accordance

with NRC requirements

and licensee commitments.'reas

examined include handling,

use of specified materials,

routing, separation,

physical protection

and

QC inspections.

For this determination

the inspector witnessed

Section 2.3.4 of drawing E-49,

cable tray Notes

and Defects states,

in par t, that:

"The minimum

separation

distances

required

between totally enclosed

raceways

located in areas

not subject to fire.

. .or mechanical

damage

shall

be as follows:

2.3.4. 1

One inch minimum between

or conduits.

2.3.4.2

One inch minimum between

The licensee

was informed that this is an item of noncompliance

and

a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix 8, Criterion

Ijt.

50-

387/81-12-01;

50-388/81-06-01

For this determination

the inspector

The inspector observed that the electrical

ground conductor

(No.

4/0) was attached

to the side of tray No.

FIPF07 (el 670, Area

28) for a distance of 6 ft then crosses

over at right angle

adjacent parallel conduits

coming into contact with conduit Nos.

FIP479 (green)

EIK995 (red)

and the non-g fire line conduit.

This installation

has the effect of reducing the

1 inch separation

to 1/2 inch.

Placement of the electrical

ground between

the tray

and the conduit appears

to defeat the purpose of maintaining the

required

1 inch separation

between

the tray and conduit.

The

1

inch air gap has

been determined

as the minimum separation

requirements

to prevent

damage

from overheating

to adjacent

raceways/conduits.

Discussions

with licensee

.and construction

personnel

indicate

this concern

was not addressed

in installation procedures

or

instructions.

This item is unresolved

pending

NRC review of licensee resolution

and corrective action (50-387/81-12-02;

50-388/81-06-02).

test results indicating 10-12/ conductor

failure rate.

Based

on the above test results

the licensee

is removing all

damaged

D-11 cable in trays

and conduits.

In addition,

cable~s

adjacent to the damaged

D-11 cables (in conduits only) are also

being replaced.

The licensee is not purchasing

any more D-11 cables.

Existing D-

11 cables in storage will be used

on Unit 2, but only if the

cable runs in trays/conduit is less

than

50 ft.

QC personnel

with the .inspector indicated it was

common

practice to remove

components for use in other areas

to meet turnover

schedule

dates.

The inspector also observed that although the sole-

noid valves

noted above are

non-Q and are being

used in safety related

systems

none of the components

referenced

were tagged to identify the

non-conforming component.
