Particular

note was taken regarding

the presence

of quality control inspectors

and

indication of quality control activities through visual evidence

such

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.

The inspector

reviewed the following documentation

and the licensee's

Instrumentation

stem Work Observations

The inspector

observed

work performance partially completed

work and

completed work, as appropriate,

relative to the installation of

instrument

components

associated

with the

HVAC damper control

assembly

as

defined

on certified vendor drawing nos.

13811-2

and 13811-3 for damper

nos.

HDM-17508A and B, respectively.

Visual inspection of the installed

control assembly for damper

nos.

HDM-17508A and B, located

in the Unit 1

Reactor Building, elevation 779'-0", area

27

show that the component

layout of the installed

Damper Control Assembly does not conform to the

certified drawing configuration.

Discussions with licensee

personnel

and

a review of the material receiving reports indicate that the

Damper

Control Assembly is not inspected

when received

on site except for visual

damage

and documentation.

Construction quality control inspection

reports indicate the installed

Damper Control Assemblies

were inspected

and accepted

on May 5,

1980

and turned over to the startup

group

on

December

19,

1980.

The inspector

noted that the quality control

inspection

performed

by field quality control personnel

pertains

only to

the orientation of the installed

Damper Control Assembly

and not to the

individual component location.

The inspector questioned

the licensee

on the adequacy

of his quality

assurance

program which permits the installation of nonconforming

material

or fabricated

assemblies

in safety related

systems.

,The inspector

informed the licensee that this was

an item of

noncompliance

and

an infraction of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria VII

which states,

in part, that:

"Measures

shall

be established

to assure

that purchased

material,

equipment

conform to the procurement-

document.

These

measures

shall include - examination of products

upon

delivery. -The effectiveness

of control of quality shall

be

assessed - at intervals consistent

with importance,

complexity

of

product or service."

Record

Review

During the review of quality records for the

Damper Control Assembly,

the

inspector

observed that the assumptions

made for the seismic analysis of

the regulator solenoid

mount for the

AMV series

12865

Damper Control

Units did not take into account the condulet

and metal flex cable

attached

to the solenoid valve.

The solenoid valve is attached

to the

filter regulator

by a 1/2 x 2 inch long pipe nipple.

The regulator is

attached

to

a mounting plate.

The analysis

assumes

that the solenoid,

regulator

and pipe connector to be rigid.

Construction

personnel

have

experienced

numerous

problems in supporting

the solenoid valve with the

pipe connection.

6

'iscussions

with licensee

and construction

personnel

indicate that

a

redesign of the assembly is in progress.

A prototype unit in which both

the filter regulator

and the solenoid valve are bolted in place

has

been

tested.

Engineering is reviewing the results

and intends to replace

all units following approval.

This item is unresolved

pending

NRC review of licensee

evaluation

and

resolution.
