CONCERN NO. 1 NARRATIVE
{SSW) RING 3 AND RING 4 OF THE SSM ARE NOT WELDED TOGFTHER AS SHOWN ON THE DESIGN DRAWINGS. NUMEROUS WELDS WERE MADE TO SHINS BETWEEN THE RINGS, IN LIEU OF ACTUALLY WELDING THE RINGS TOGETHER. THE A/E, TENTATIVELY, INTENDS TO INSTALL A 2 INCH PARTIAL PENETRATION MELD AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE SSM TO STRUCTURALLY JOIN RING 3 TO RING 4.

~
STRUCTURAL REPAIR AT INTERFACE EL. 541'5" THIS TALK ADDRESSES THE METHOD OF TRANSNISSION OF HORIZONTAL SHEAR ACROSS THE INTERFACE AT ELEVATION 541'5" IN THE SHIELD MALL. THE PROBLEM HERE IS THAT RINGS 2 AND 3, ABOVE AND BELOW THE INTERFACE, HAVE NOT BFEN WELDED TOGETHER AS SHOWN ON THE CONTRACT DRAWINGS. IT IS NO!ED THAT I-HAVE USED THE TEiNINOLOGY OF THE CONTRACT DRAWINGS. THE NRC tlEMO REFiRS TO THiSE RINGS AS 3 AND 4.
THE PROPOSED CORRECTION MEASURE INVOLVES THE INSTAI LATION OF A PARTIAL PENETRATION MELD ALONG THE EXTERIOR CIRCUMFERENCE BETWEiN THE TMO RINGS.
THIS REPRESENTS A CHANGE, FROM THE ORIGINAL DESIGN At<D AS SUCH IS OF CONCERN TO USNRC.
THIS TALK WILI FIRST DESCRIBE THE CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS AND THE PROPOSED CORRECTION WELD. THEN THE DESIGN CONCEPT FOR THE CORRECTION WILL BE DISCUSSED AND FINALI Y THE CONTROLLING FiATURES OF THE CORRECTION MILL BE STATED. THESE FEATURES ARE THE CONTROLLING LOADING, LOAD COYiBINATION AND DESIGN MARGIN.

ITEH 4 (SSM) NDE records associated with the SSll contain photocopied inspector's UT/PT acceptance signatures. (See Item g for a related item on pipe
~
whip restraints.) (See also 85.)
Re uirement
, The specification required ultrasonic testing for checking electroslag welded tee joints for lamellar tearing and was limited to base metal thickness of 1~-"
and greater.
There was no specification requirement for performing PT. PT used by Leckenby for informational purposes in "chasing out" defects.
Ne rejection of 4 welds which were repaired and re-examined by UT.
PT was performed for. these-welds for information purposes only.
t.urther investiga tion will be made to verify that all weld repairs were re-.examined by UT.
ITEH J: (SSM) NDE qualification records cannot be located for one individual who
~
performed ultrasonic testing on the SSW, Individual is no longer employed by subcontractor ..
lictfon Complete documentation review of SSW NDE records performed, All UT was performed by Hr. G. flamilton. gualification records for llamil ton are available and under review for acceptabil ity.
Hr. C. Baldinger performed UT on 3 weld procedure qualifications. HDE certification is not available. UT for weld procedure qualifications not required by code or specification and requir ed tensile and bend tests were performed and were acceptable.
Corr ective Rction o Continued investigation to assure Hr. ltamilton's certifications are acceptable.
~ Continued investigation of records and. reports to assure any additional concerns.
are identified and resolved.
ITEH 6: (SSH) t(o procedures were generat r records. maintained on forming of the curved plates used in the SSll.
Ho req<<Irement in specification for procedure or records on forming of plate.
Comment r
Leckenby subcontracted work to Seattle Ooiler l<orks. Leckenby states that common industry practice is to'eat and/or cold forp> A-36 material. AE metallurgist statement confirms that this is industry-accepted practice and with no detrimental effects.
Supply System's position is that forming of plate was not a special process as defined in Appendix 8 of 10CFR50.
Corrective Action Ho additional action required .
EH 15: (SSl]) Interviews with Leckenby 3D, and 3C.were heat p:.1 straighte
.establ ished that SSll segments 2R, without the benefit of controlling 'R, procedures or maintenance of quality records. Ileat straightening (application of heat and mechanical force) was applied to correct weld distortion.
Re uirements No requirement in specification for procedure or records on forming of plate.
Comment lleating, straightening and cold forming is standard industry practice with no detrimental effects per'metallurgist statement. Leckenby confirms that this is standard practice and that procedures are not required. Leckenby's documentation will confirm this i.nformation.
The Welding Institute, Cambride, England, 19GO paper "Control of Distortion in llelded Fabrications", states:
o lleat wedge - shaped zones to straighten rolled steel sections o lleat local zones to correct out-of-flatness or buckles o lleat in-straight lines to correct angular distortion. Sometimes use water-jet cooling on reverse side.
Corrective Rction t/o additional action required.
ITCH 16: {SS'll) 215 quality review of Lecl e y program di<l not inclu<le yeri fj<Atiqn that all required UT examinations were performed, qs required by spec, an(l Leckenby procedure.
Re ulrement Spec 215 requires sample UT inspection as follows:
Ilo. fields To Examine 2 - 0 9-15
')6 - 25 6 If no indication of lamellar tearing is found after 24 UT examinations, the shall be reduced to 2 per 100.
Ul'xam Commen t Leckenby made 1,270 electroslag welds. >Jithout regard to size limitrqtions (platerial greater 1>-"), the required number of areas to exam would be 06. Leckenby performed ultrasonic tests on 83 welds. Test results are contained in 27 UT reports, This is in excess of the specification requirement, In addition, Leckenby examined an additional 2X of other type welds. In total, about 200 weld areas wel e examine~] 'by UT.
Corrective Rction Records available to verify proper inspection. Additional inyestigation is continuing to assure all associated certi fication records are in order;
~ ~
EH 17:~ (A) (SSH) Procedure deficiencies:;:enby used liquid penetrant testing to examine SSH structures .at Leckenb ps. Leckenby representatives reported .
that there approved Lp procedur~ at the time inspections were performed,
~
was no (0) The Leckenby procedure which provides for weld sequence control (entitled "Sacrificial Shield Hall Assembly Procedure" ) has no procedure number, no revision number, no date, no evidence of ever being approved. AHS 01.1, para-graph 3.4.3 required suhaittal to the engineer of. weld sequence and distortion control progr am.
Results o Liquid penetrant examinations are not required by code or specification.
~ Leckenby does have an approved liquid penetrant procedure.
~ Only 3 liquid penetrants reports were submitted for record purposes.
At least 4 examined by liquid penetrant were subsequently examined and accepted by UT. (UT did not have photocopied signature).
~ Leckenby's fab and erection procedure shows the general sequence of fabrication.
~ Leckenby has a commercial= document which depicts sequence of restrained joints.
This document was n>ade available (1/29/00) and is under review by Engineering.
Corrective Action A. Additional investigation to determine that all repaired areas were re-examined by UT.
B. Completion of weld sequencing review by Engineering.
(A) CONC="RN NO. 18 (SSM) Leckenby, as SSM fabricator, hired a consultant to deter ine the cause of an unusual crack in the SSM, BSR rejected the consultant's-
'etemination. According to Leckenby, their t consultant's opinion was misunderstood by BRR. BSR has not had an opportunity to review the con-sultant's last lett r (dated June 21, 1977).
(B) BACKGROUND During initial ins allation of radial beams at eleva ion 541 , a crack was discovered in the SSM at the point o attachment. Leckenby, through their consult nt, proposed a cause for the cracking to the Owner/AE.
Burns and Roe reviewed and disagreed with the consultant's proposal. A response was forwarded to Leckenby at that time.
Subsequently, the HRC was informed oi the existence of a second letter rom the consultant to Leckenby, in which the consultant clarified his ti ini ti al posi on.
The NRC questions whether Burns and Roe reco'ived, reviewed and responded to the letter.
(C) R"=SOLUTION No ac.ion is required.
(0) DISCUSSIOH This itemt should not be cause for concern,. because the cracksandin thethe adequacy SSM where the radial beams a are attached have all been repaired, of the repairs has been confirmed by ultrasonic examination. All 24 radial beams have be n disassembled and rewelded to the SSM and the adequacy of
.he attachments has been confirmed by ultrasonic examination. Thus, the explanation now of the cause'of the cracking is academic, except for its possible comnercial importance.
At the time the subject crack was discovered in the SSM where a radial beam was welded to it, three radial beams had'een attached and the install-ation of the fourth was in progress. Examination of these attachments revealed that two of the three were cracked.
Corrective action consisted of the following:
- l. The radial beams were all removed from he SSM.
- 2. The cracks were weld repaired and the repairs were determined to be.
sound by U-T.
- 3. The attachment areas for all ranaining radial beams were examined by U-T and found o be sound.
(SSM) Fre water in the SSM structure - NRC RY previously unders ood that the exis ence of free water in the SSM was ono isolated case. However review of 16 contract 215 IR's shows seven (7) cases (IR2525 (2 welds), IR 3069, IR 1703, 1464 ( wo 'locations), and IR 2915) where free water or moisture emanated rom he SSM. It is not clear, consider-ing the compar~nted structure of the SSM, how water rom an external source (i.e. weather) could be the source of all leaking welds. Heed to assure water is not/wax not detri-mental (not preseni on back side of joint during weTding).

(SSM) BSR Dwg. S-802 no e 3 refers to the spec. for PMHT reouirements of the stabilizer assemblies on the SSM. The spec. does not appear to specifically address PMHT of stab-ilizers. It" is, therefore, not clear whether designers intended to have PMET. Material involved is A514, A588, and SA537, 1 3/4" E 2" thick, full penetra ion welds. The SSM 9 stabilizer level is also A588 Grade A Steel 24" 5. 2~~"
thick with full penetration welds (0 channel S783.).

ITEN 7: (PllR) Pipe llhip Restraints of, the same or simi'lar design were provided under two contracts. One contract (890) required HDE and Pk!!lT oi'elds, the other (i'I215) required only visual inspection of welds. (215 PHRs may not have been PHllT'd).
. o PHR - tlDE and PHllT requirements Con tract,Scope Pl!R - All were provided by Contract 90 PWR Support Steel - Contract 215
~ Specification Requirements Contract 90 (Nat'1 A516, h537)
RHS '01.1 + PHllT, HDE Contract 215 (Hat'1 h36)
N<S Dl.l o Rationale for Different Requirements tiDE (VT 8 NT) was specified on the PMR because a rigid weld inspection would provide assurance that the PHR weldments would withstand a pipe whip.
PHllT of the PHRs was specified to assure retention of dimensional tolerances between the.PHR and the pipe.
PWllT not required on support steel because design of supports allows flexibility.

Q e

(PllR) USE records associated with pipe whip restraints (PHRs) contain photocopied inspector's acceptance signatures for ultrasonic and magnetic particle testing.
(See Item 0 for a related item on the SMll),
hc ti on Review of UT and HT inspection reports indicate that virtually al'I of the reports have photocopied signatures, (IOH J Bean to J Steldl, dated 1/7/00).
This has been verified to be a common practice by Leckenby. (see sworn statements by Hessrs. P. D. Hoore and E. D. jjamilton). This concern affects basically all 179 restraints.
Corrective hction The reinspection of all restraints will generate new HDE records which will become the final inspection records.
(PllR) NDE qualification records cannot be found for one, or possibly two, individuals wlro performed UT and HT on the PHRs, Contractor's qrralification procedure is not in frrll accord with SHT-TC-lA.
Action e Review o.f UT and HT inspection reports indicated questionable training and qualification of'evel II inspectors and of Level III exarrriners, Both NRC and llPPSS visited Leckenby to eva1uate cer tification adequacy, Certi-fication records for"Hr. Baldinger could not be found.
e In a sworn statement to the NRC on December 6, 1979, Hr, Phillip D. Hoore, Leckenby gA Hanager, attested that Hr. Baldinger had the experience, training, and was properly certified to SHT-TC-lA.Level II, o BM Source Surveillance Report, 10-26-76, indicated Baldinger's certification records were reviewed for UT and l1T and were adequate,
~ A review of the personnel qualification procedure revealed that specific requirements of SNT-TC-lA were not properly specified in the areas of training, education, and re-examinations.
Corrective Action The reinspection records which will .include qualified/certified personnel and procedures will become the final inspection records.
