including records of completed nondestructive
examinations
were reviewed to ascertain
whether:
the methods(s),
technique,
and
extent of the examination
complied with the ISI plan and applicable
NDE procedures;
findings were properly recorded
and evaluated
by
qualified personnel;
programmatic deviations
were recorded
as required;
personnel,
instruments,

were compared with historical
examination results.
e.
Observations
(I)
The licensee's
ISI program is very effective in most ar eas
reviewed.
The licensee
management
and technical staff assure
that technical
issued
are resolved, from a conservative
stand point.
The licensee
appears
to be very sensitive to any
NRC initiatives and the response
to these initiatives usually have
good technical
bases.
(2)
Relative to the evaluation of the records
management for ISI records
the inspector
noted that the licensee
has
a commendable
though not
documented
program for evaluation of all special
process
records for
deterioration.
The licensee
has just completed their second
biannual
lX examination of radiographic film, magnetic
computer media,
magnetic
video media
and photographs.,
(3)
Relative to the remote visual examination,
procedure
NES 83A0291
requires
remote visual examination
techniques
to be able to resolve
a
I/32-inch black line on an
18Ã neutral
gray card or a 0.005-inch
diameter wire as
Image (juality Indicators
(I(I).
There are two wires
visible,
on
a placard,
in the video tape record,
but there is
no
indication in either the tape (audio or video) or the procedure
as to
significance or the size of the wires.
The licensee
indicated that
the lower wire visable in the video tape is 0.005-inch diameter,
there
by confirming the required resolution level.
It is recommended
that
the procedure
contain'
depiction of the I(I used,
and the video tape
in future contain
an audio acknowledgment
of the IgI and the resolution
observed.
(4)
Relative to the verification of the accuracy of the relief requests
bases,
the inspector
found the relief requests
to be accurate.
However,
in the process
the'icensee
was unable to find the Preservice
Inspection
(PSI) examination record for the
45 degree axial
No.
RHX-OICHTSM-04, 05,
and 06.
The licensee
indicated that the record is
lost.
They further indicated they verified that the
PSI records for the
(5)
0 degree
and
45 degree circumferential
UT examinations
and the
examinations for all three welds, are in the yault.
Two of the three
on the missing record
have
been ISI examined
and the third is
scheduled for examination during the third 40 month ISI Period.
The
licensee
indicated that they would evaluate this matter
and take
appropriate
actions to assure
that ISI is consistent with the code.
Relative to the review of procedures
the inspector
noted the
following:
- Procedure
NES 83A0284 does
not make provisions for fluorescent
NT examiners
to stay in a darkened
area for at least five
minutes prior to performing examinations
to enable their eyes
to adapt to dark viewing.
The preceding is considered
a good
practice
and is included
as
a requirement
in later editions
of ASNE
B 5
PV Code Section
V.
- Procedure
NES 83A0284 does
not require the subtractive
black
light intensity determination specified in ASME
B 5
PV Code
Section
V (83S83)
- Procedure
NES 83A0284 does not make provisions for calibration
of the light meter
used to determine
the intensity of the black
light used for examinations.
The inspector verified that the
licensee
has objective quality evidence that substantiates
that
= the black light meter
used during this outage
was currently
calibrated.
- Procedure
NES 83A0283 Revision
3 has six unincorporated
Addenda
attached
to the front of the document,
which seems
excessive
and
an invitation to error.
- ASNE
B
8
PV Code Section
XI paragraph
IWA 2232 (c)(4)(a)(3)
requires calibration blocks to be of the
"same material
specification"
as
one of the materials
being joined.
Procedure
NES 83A0282 paragraph
5.5 A.. 1. permits calibration blocks to
be of "material of similar chemical
composition,
(by analysis)...".
The Procedure
does
not indicate the degree of similarity
required.
A review of calibration blocks
used during this
outage
revealed that the chemical
analysis of calibration
block UT-40-1 used in association
with the examination of
Pressurizer
nozzle to safe
end weld No.
NSEW 18 deviated
from
the chemical
analysis
ranges
specified
by the specification
for .the base material
being examined.
Specification
SA 182
type 316L requires
a carbon content of 0.035% maximum,
calibration block
UT 40-1
has
a carbon content of 0.049K
(consistent with SA 182 type
316 H).
The licensee
indicated
that they would evaluate this matter
and take appropriate
actions to assure
that ISI is consistent
with the code.
In the areas
inspected,
no violations or deviations
were identified.
3.
Housekeeping
The Maintenance
Team Inspection
conducted
during the
summer of 1990,
identified poor housekeeping
and material condition in remote infrequently
visited areas.
The inspector
made
a general
housekeeping
inspection of the
intake structures,
the cooling tower,
and the circulating water
pump
platform, noting that the housekeeping
and material condition had greatly
improved.
The inspector
noted that all running
pumps in the intake
structures
had inadequate
seal. water collection systems
as there
was
uncollected
leakage, on the floor around the operating
pumps.
In the areas
inspected,
no violations or deviations
were identified.
4.
Exit Interview
The inspection
scope
and results
were summarized
on May 3, 1991, with those
persons
indicated in paragraph
1.
The inspector
described
the areas
inspected
and discussed
in detail
the inspection results.
Although.
reviewed during this inspection,
proprietary information is not contained
in this report.
No dissenting
comments
were received
from the licensee.
