the pipe fabrication shop, all CB&I and

CP&L welding material issue

stations,

the pipe storage

area

and the containment

dome fabrication area

-2-

to observe construction progress

and construction activities such as welding,

nondestructive

examination, material handling and control, housekeeping

and

storage.

H%

.-. Within the areas

examined,

no items of noncompliance

or devigtions

were

identified.

Steel Structures

and Supports (Unit 1)

The inspector

observed

non welding and welding work activities for steel

structures

within the containment

as

described

below to determine

whether

applicable

code

and procedure

requirements

were being met.

The applicable

code for containment fabrication is the

ASME B and

PV Code Section III

Division 2 1975 edition with addenda through winter 76.

a.

Observation of Non Welding Activities

Observation of specific work activities were

conducted

to determine

conformance,

where applicable,

with the following; inspection and/or

work procedures,

record keeping requirements,

installation specifica-

tion

requirements,

specified

materials

and

qualified inspection

personnel.

Observation of Welding Activities

The inspector

observed

in-process

welding activities of containment

structural field welds as described

below to determine whether applic-

able code and procedure requirements

were being met.

(1)

Welding

The following welds

were

examined in process

to determine

work

conducted in accordance with traveler, welding procedures available;

welding technique

and sequence;

weld geometry, fit-up electrical

characteristics;

(a)

With regard

to the

above

inspection,

the inspector,

on

May 15,

1980,

noted that tack welds attaching

the

base

plate,

of containment

spray piping restraint

CT-H-117, to

the respective

containment

pad,

were desposited

over heavy

rust.

Further, the inspector noted that no attempt had been

made to

remove

the rust.

The

above is contrary to the

requirements

of the

ASME B and

PV Code Section IIIDivision

2 paragraph

CC-4541.2,

which states

in part,

"The surfaces

for welding shall be free of scale, rust---."

Failure to

fabricate structures

in accordance

with the applicable

code

is in noncompliance with 10 CFR 50.55a.

This is an infraction and was assigned

item No. 400/80-13-01

"Welding in the way of rust".

(2)

Weld Heat Treatment

The inspector reviewed the CBGI, and

CPGL programs for weld heat

treatment for compliance with QA procedure

and

Code requirements.

The welds listed in paragraph

6b(l) and

7b (1) were examined in

process relative to weld joint preheating to determine; procedures

available;

procedures

specify

acceptable

preheating

method;

procedures

provide

monitoring

and

recording

requirements

and

procedure compliance.

(a)

With respect

to the

above inspection the inspector

noted

that the COL procedure

MP-04 Revision 2 "Procedure for Heat

Treatment"

permits interrupted preheating

without material

restriction.

Regulatory

Guide

1.50 requires

uninterrupted

preheating

from the start of welding to the completion of

post-weld

heat

treatment for low alloy steel

production

welds.

The inspector

determined that, to the date of this

inspection,

the licensee

had not made any low alloy produc-

tion welds.

The inspector

discussed

the above procedural

inadequacy with'the licensee.

The licensee stated that they

would revise MP-04 to reflect the requirement of Regulatory

Guide 1.50.'.-The inspector stated that the above would be an

inspector

follow-up item

and identified

as

400/80-13-02,

401, 402, 403/80-11-02:

"Interrupted Preheating".

(3)

Welder Qualification

The inspector reviewed the CPSL and CBRI programs forgualification

of welders

and welding operators for compliance with l}Aprocedures

and ASME Code requirements.

(1)

The following welder qualification status records

and "Records

of Performance Qualification Test" were reviewed relative to

the weld joints listed in Paragraph

6b(1) and 7b(l).

and handled in accordance

with QA proce-

dures

and applicable

code requirements.

The following specific

areas

were examined:

(a)

With regard

to the

above inspection,

the inspector

noted

that the

CPM, procedure

MP-03 Revision 8,

Welding Material

Control" specifies

that

submerged

arc welding flux, after

opening, shall be stored at 150 degrees

F to 300 degrees

F.

AWS Structural Welding Code D1.1 requires

one of the following

actions for submerged

arc welding flux after open storage

and prior to use:

1) To discard the top one inch of flux or

2) To recondition the flux at 250 degrees

F for one hour.

The

inspector determined that, to the date of this inspection, the

licensee

had not stored

any submerged

arc welding flux.

The

inspector discussed

the above procedural

inadequacy with the

licensee.

The licensee

stated that they would revise HP-03

to reflect

the

requirements

of

AWS Dl.l.

The inspector

stated

that, the above

would be

an inspector follow-up item

and identified as 400/80-13-03,

401, 402, 403/80"11-03 "Flux

whether

essential,

supplementary and/or nonessential variables inclu-

.ding thermal treatment were consistent with code requirements;

whether WPSs were properly qualified and their supporting

and retrievable; whether all required mechanical

tests

had

been

performed

and the results met the minimum

requirements;

whether the PQRs had been reviewed and certified

by appropriate

personnel

and,

whether

any revisions and/or

changes to nonessential variables were noted.
