The inspectors also interviewed other licensee emoloyees during the

course of the inspection.

They included Quality Control and con-

struction craft personnel, and technicians performing eddy current

and liquid penetrant testing of steam generators.

During this insoection, the inspector also accompanied the following

personnel on a tour of the facilitv on August 17, 1978:

Mr. E. Greher, IE-HQ Staff

Ms. C. Stuart,

Budget Analyst, OMB

2.

Pl ant Tour

The inspectors observed work activities in-progress, completed \\

work, and plant status in several areas of the plant during daily

general inspections of the plant. A plant tour-inspection was

performed by two NRC inspectors during the second shift on August

14, 1978.

The inspectors examined work items for any obvious

defects or noncompliance with regulatory requirements or license

conditions. Particular note was taken of the condition of installed

equipment/piping/cables. The inspectors also noted presence of

quality control inspectors and quality control evidence such as

inspection records, material identification, nonconforming material

identification, and equipment calibration tags. The inspectors

interviewed craft personnel, supervision, and quality inspection

personnel as such personnel wer~ availabla in the work areas.

Where more detailed inspection of an area wa*s conducted, the

inspection scope and findings are described in other paragraphs of

the report.

No items of noncompliance were identified.

Licensee Action on Previously Identified Items

(Closed) Unresolved Item (311/78-02-05):

Pickling of stainless

steel pipe.

The pipe manufacturer provided a corrected materials

test report, identifying the fact that the heat number 38792 was

pickled and passivated in accordance with.Armco procedure #4A.

The

procedure was-also provided for approval; it maintained that pickling

was performed following the basic recommendations found in ASTM-

A380.

This information was provided to the quality control repre-

sentative of the material supplier and was subsequently approved by

the licensee engineering organization. Although the procedure was

approved subsequent to material delivery/installation, this matter

appears to have been a documentation review oversight.

The NRC inspector examined a sample of other material certifications

for stainless steel pipe for this site, and noted no irregularity.

This item is resolved.

The inspector reviewed the following documentation relative to this

matter:

Armco Material Test Report HM-6-8996 (Revised June 12, 1978)

Armco Pickling Procedure for Austenite Stainless Steel dated

March 5, 1973

Armco to Pullman Power Products letter dated June 12, 1978

PSE&G to Pullman Power Products letter dated June 21, 1978

(Closed) Unresolved Item (311/78-04-01):

Discharges to the Delaware

River through the storm drain system--hydrotesting effluent. The

licensee has been in contact with EPA since January 26,

1978, relative

to hydro-test water discharges. A March 17, 1978

letter from EPA*mentions January-March discharges and authorizes

the discharges subject to specific limits on chemistry and reporting.

The required report was submitted to EPA, indicating that the

limits had been met.

In addition to the EPA March letter, the

inspector examined PSE&G letters to EPA relative to the above

dated

January 26, 1978, February 15, 1978, February 28, 1978,

March 2, 1978. This item is resolv~d.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (311/78-04-02):

Fltishing chemicals discharge.

Since the NRC inspection.in January 1978, the licensee has been in

close communication with EPA regarding chemicals to be used in

hydrotest and flushing operations, in addition to heat exchanger

layup chemicals, and condensate polishing system chemicals, and

their discharge types and frequency.

These matters are currently

under review by EPA, as evidenced by eight PSE&G letters to EPA

between January 26, 1978 and July 12, 1978, and the EPA response of

March 17, 1978.

The PSE&G test engineer ts cognizant of the need

for EPA action, and no discharge of chemi~al flushing material is

planned prior to that action.

Retention of some flushing chemicals*

. in a temporary holding basin onsite has been documented to the EPA

by the licensee. The necessary coordination with EPA appears to be

occurring at this time. This item is resolved.

(Closed) Unresolved* Item (311/78-06-02): Tubing tray hardware

approved equal aualification, use, and control. The inspector pre-

viously established that the materials quality control was such that

bolts wtthout certifications of compliance could be and were installed

in tubing tray supports. Drawing 233083-4 required specific brand

name/catalog numbered bolts and nuts or approved equal.

Another

type bolt-nuts were used; the documentation of approval or commensurate

quality control was absent.

The inspector noted that requisition

  1. 36934 shows that 3/8-inch stainless steel round head bolts were pro-

cured for the I&C group as non-safety related in May 1978.

As

resolution of this item, the PSE&G site QA organization showed the

5

inspector a July 28, 1978 memorandum by the site Controls Field

Engineer which evaluates the situation and deems it acceptable.

He indicates that the UE&C purchasers have been instructed to

classify all *future purchases of tube tray hardware as safety

related to assure provision of certificates of conformance.

The

inspector also examined an October 13, 1976 memorandum from the

Field Engineering Mechanical Division manager to Department heads

which assigns the Controls Field Engineer such responsbility for

determining material requirements for purchase orders.

Although.the evaluation by the Controls Field *Engineer was some-

what vague regarding the basis for the use-as-is acceptance of

hardware.already installed, when interviewed by the inspector he

expressed confidence that whatever material may have been provided

without material certifications would be functionally adequate.

At the exit meeting the licensee stated that the vendors, who pro-

vided hardware already installed, have been contacted and certificates

of compliance for the catalog items furnished will be provided

shortly. The inspector had no further questions on this item, and

this matter is consi~ered resolved.

lClosedl Unresolved Item (311/78-14-03): Separation of analog and

digital cables from power cables.

The inspector examined a licensee

senior staff engineer memo to the site electrical field engineer,

dated* July 3, 1978, presented by the licensee site QA office as a

basis for resolution of cable separation questions previously raised

by the inspector.

The memorandum reiterates the intent to generally

maintain cable separation as discussed in FSAR Section 7.2, but with

some exception. It defines the basis for certain exceptions, which

are described in project Field Directive # 69 and Procedure DCP-2205.

The basis includes the fact that the instrument cables are twisted

and. shielded and control cables are shielded, and only in local

areas {_such as shafts) are the exceptions allowed.

The inspector

reviewed this matter with regard to the FSAR and IEE-Std-422-1977

and current NRR criteria and could identify no violation of regulatory

requirements or specific safety impact of the noted exceptions. The

licensee's approach appears acceptable. This item is resolved.

Review of Licensee Follow-up on NRC Issued Bulletins

{_Bulletin 78-10) - Bergen-Paterson Hydraulic Shock Suppressor

Accumulator Spring Coils.

This area was inspected, *fn part, during inspection number

77-06. The inspector reviewed purchase orders E-197852 February l,

1974 and E-160050 May 26, 1972 documenting hydraulic snubber

suppliers. Documentation listed twenty-four hydraulic snubbers for

Salem Unit No. 2:

6

Sixteen 'Rexnord Hanna* on the four S/G

1s,

Eight

1Paul-Munroe

1 on the the four MSIV

1s.

The inspector observed the four installed

11Paul-Munroe

11 snubbers at

the two main steam isolation valves (MSIV

1s) in the south side

penetration area.

The conditions described in the Bulletin did not

appear applicable to the facility.

-Licensee Followu Activities Relative to .Items Re orted to NRG

Under 10 CFR 50.55 e

a.

Pressurizer Snubber Malfunction:

The inspector examined licensee corrective measures for Salem

Unit #2, which arose from construction deficiencies reported

under 10 CFR 50.55(e) for Unit #1, as described in licensee

letters to NRG dated April 2, 1976 and June 10, 1976. These

letters related to pressurizer mechanical snubber malfunctions

in devices manufactured. by-International Nuclear Safeguards

Corporation (IN:C}.

This area was inspected, in part, during inspection number

77~06.The inspector verified by visual observation, on a

sampltng basis, that only Pacific Scientific Company snubbers

are being incorporated in Unit #2.

Accordingly, the Unit #1

problem did not appear to be applicable to Unit #2.

b.

Damage to RPV internals due to fallen UT calibration block:

The inspector reviewed licensee actions with respect to an ul-

trasonic examination calibration block which fell into the

reactor pressure vessel, as reported to the NRG by letter

dated August 9, 1978 in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55(e). The

inspector verified that the event was reviewed and evaluated

by the licensee and that corrective action was taken to prevent

recurrence, and appropriate planning accomplished to effect

necessary repairs. The inspector's review included the

foll owing:

UE&C Deficiency Report (DR) #6623

UE&C DR#9084 and Attachment

UE&C QC Surveillance Report #M2159

PSE&G Significant Deficiency Evaluation Report #78-05

--

PSE&G Letter to NRC:I Dated August 9, 1978

Southwest Research Institute Customer Notification Form

  1. 100080

7

The inspector was informed that necessary repairs will

be made using approved procedures developed by Westinghouse

Electric Corporation. The inspector had no further questions

at this. time.

c.

Pipe cracks in small bore piping:

The inspector examined licensee corrective measures for

Salem Unit #2, which arose from construction deficiencies

reported under 10 CFR 50.55(e) for Unit #1, in letters to

NRC dated March 16~ 1976 and March 31, 1976.

These items

related to piping cracks occurring in Residual Heat Removal,

Chemical Volume Control, and Safety Injection Systems small

bore piping.

The inspector examined engineering instructions, layout

drawings, detail drawings, and physical installations which

show that socket weld strength and transition welds have

been or are planned to be improved, and pipe bracing is

planned to be installed. A socket fillet-weld Detail 17

  • has been added to applicable drawings in accordance with an

PSE&G Engineering Department April 20, 1976 directive .

Detail 17 requires a 2:1 length ratio fillet weld at the

pipe socket connection of small bore piping to certain safety

related coolant systems.

The smaller fillet leg is specified

as at least 1-1/4 times the small-bore pipe nominal wall thick-

ness; the larger leg is specified as at least twice the size

of the smaller leg. The large leg size is a requirement

beyond the usual equal leg requirement of ANSI-831.7 figure

1-727 .4.4Ce).

The inspector interviewed the responsible field mechanical

design engineers for hangers and piping, and examined installed

pipe sockets for drain lines in the vicinity of valve 2RH2 and

valve 24 SG55., of the safety injection system.

The specific

welds examined included FW-2-RH-3378-1 and FW-2-RH-3070-1.

The fillet weld at these socket welds was not accomplished

in.accordance with Detail 17 of applicable drawing 218268-A-

. 8903-12.

The weld, No. FW2-RH-3378-l, had been inspected and

accepted by tield quality control inspectors on December 22,

1977 and approved January 8, 1978.

The inspection record

{_Fillet Weld History Record) did not incorporate the weld

configuration requirements of Detail 17, although it referenced

drawing 218268 upon which Detqil 17 appears .

8

The Fillet Weld History Record for Nuclear Class I weld No.FW

2~RH-3378-l shows a required fillet weld size of the usual

(ANSI-831.7) 3/8

11 size, for the 1-1/2 schedule 160 small bore

pipe (nominal wall of .281

11 x 1-1/4 = .351

11 ).

No provision is

made for a 2:1 length ratio. The actual weld was an equal-leg

3/8

11 fillet weld, as measured by a UE&C quality control in-

spector in the presence of the NRC inspector on August 18,

1978.

The Fi 11 et Weld Hi story Record for Nuclear Cl ass I Weld pw .. 2-RH.-3070 ..... 1

was labelled

11Temporary Weld.

11 The weld was identified on this

record as a l

11 schedule 40 ptpe with required 3/16

11 (equal

leg) fillet. Detail 17 of applicable.drawing 218268-A-8903-ll

(referenced by 218213-A-89Q.l-2) would require .133

11 x 1-1/4 x

2 = .33

11 large leg and .166

11 small leg.

The actual weld was

equal 1 eg of apparently 3/16

11 size.

The condition of the above two described fillet welds, and the

fact that the Fillet Weld History Records did not incorporate

the special requirements of the design drawings, appears to be

a breakdown of the construction/inspection quality assurance

program.

This is an item of noncompliance relative

to Criterion V. (311/78-26-01)

The inspector examined the following documents relative to the

above:.

Engineering Memorandum SGS/M-DM-025 dated January 31, 1977

Interface Control for* System/Equipment Turnover for Testing

The inspector reviewed the licensee's startup manual as it reflects

the construction verification testing program.

In:particular, the

inspector examined the systems/equipment turnover for a part of

the main steam system.

The systems/equipment turnover or SET is

generated to yield a system or portion of a system with boundaries

which are logically and conveniently testable.

The inspector found the main steam valves at the north penetration

to be green tagged which indicates that the UE&C test group has

jurisdiction over the use of this equipment.

The main steam valves

24 MS 167 and 22 MS 167 were included in form 3.3 SET Nos. 076-MI-

R3 and 076-M2-R4.

The SET provides a testable entity for the

verification of the individual component cleanliness, integrity and

intended functional capability with the intent of bringing together

completed systems, functionally checked and ready to support pre-

operational testing.

The inspector'examined each 200 Kip Paul-Munroe snubber attached

to the above designated main steam valves.

Each valve has two

Paul-Munroe 200 Kip hydraulic snubbers.

The snubbers were examined

relative to drawings 2389650-4130-2 (5 sheets), PSBP No. 143870 and

PSBP No.139873.

The inspector also considered Specification No.

73-6373, Hydraulic Shock and Sway Suppressors for Piping and/or

Equipment Protection with.respect to licensee vendor requirements.

The snubbers were examined for indications of hydraulic. fluid level

requirements, hydraulic fluid leaks, physical deformation that may

affect the proper functioning of the units, cleanliness, and cold

set dimensions.

The examination resulted in the following findings:

Snubber pin to pin spacing was not in accordance with drawings

  1. 238965-04130-2 sheet 3 and PSBP-139873; the 100° temperature

of the system under test did not appear to be the cause of the

l/4" to 5/8" differences.

The snubber reservoir assemblies specified by drawings PSBP-

129322 were not installed.

The accumulator on each of two snubbers, attached to MSIV 24MS

167, was not installed properly in accordance with specification

73.,.6373 and drawing PSBP-139873.

The accumulators are used

for maintaining hyd~aulic fluid pressure during shipping and

storage.

10

Althdugh the above conditions existed, the equipment was under

test, havi"ng been released by construction through appropriate

approvals of the SET (System/Equipment Turnover - UTG) #076-Ml-R3,

form-3.3.

These approvals involve the UE&C Test Engineer QC

Superintendent, Project Superintendent.

The SET form provides for

Boundary Description/Component Listing, definition of exceptions,

and acceptance of the equipment.. A separate SET Open Item Report

and POTT open item list (for after turnover) provide for tracking

open items.

None of these documents, reviewed by the NRC inspector

with the UE&C startup engineering representative on August 18,

1978, identified the conditions described above as exceptions or

open items. Subsequently, the UE&C test engineer prepared SET

  1. 076-M8-RO dated August 18, 1978, to cover valves, piping, tanks

and filters associated with the MSIV snubbers.

This separate SET

is similar to the manner in which steam generator snubbers have

been handled as a separate SET.

.

This resolves the

specific accumulator/reservoir concern, in that the licensee evaluated

the condition and established a control to assure correction of the

conditions in a timely manner.

The licensee stated that the observed conditions would probably

have been i denti fi ed during the final system

11wa 1kdown 11 inspection

when the systems were turned-over to PSE&G* by UE&C.

If so identi-

fied at that time, the items might be recorded on the POTT open

item list.

The conditions observed by the NRC inspectors, along with informa-

tion obtained by interview of the UE&C startup group, indicates

that not all approving parties had the same understanding of exactly

which equipment was or was not included in the SET package.

This

item is unresolved.pending licensee review of the interface defini-

tions, and timely correction of observed nonconforming conditions

regarding pin-to-pin spacing measurements. (311/78-26-02)

7.

Safety Related Structures Welding Records

The inspector examined records associated with welding of structural

steel and similar major steel pipe restraints. Particular emphasis

was placed on the records relating to four main steam line restraints

in the north.penetration area (21 MSG-209, 23 MSG-211, 21 MSLS-16,

and 23 MSLS-17).

The inspector examined Form FP-720-3 which lists the welding depart-

ment inspection acceptance signature for each hanger; this signature

signifies that all welds on the hanger have been examined by the

welding inspector. Supporting in-process inspection work-records

were not available . The Form FP-720-3 also provides a space for

11

other information, such as minor modifications, or deviations pro-

vided for by procedure DCP-2403.

The inspector reviewed approximately

100 of the FP-720-3 forms to identify a sample of nine structures

which had some weld irregularity notation associated with them,

(period covered included May-July 1978).

He interviewed the respon-

sible hanger verification group manager, who described the followup

actions provided for such deviations.

The manager showed the in-

spector the current file of design modification requests associated

with hanger inspection and work activities. Of the nine hangers

selected.by the inspector, the inspector identified one safety

  • related hanger and verified that a followup design modification

request had been processed.

No i terns of noncompliance were identified *.

The. inspector examined the fa 11 owing documents re 1 a ti ve to the above:

Drawings

Preservice Inspection Program

The Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) General

Procedure 75-6467 Revision 0 dated August 6, 1975 and entitled

11Preservice Examination Administrative Plan No. 1 and 2 Units"

provides the basis for administration of a program of preoperational

examination in atcordance with the Salem FSAR and the 1971 ASME

Code Section Xl (with addenda through winter 1972) and the applicable

.J

12

requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(g). The eddy current examination of

steam generator tubes is included in the above plan, including a

commitment to Regulatory Guide 1.83, Inservice Inspection of

Pressurized Water Reactor Steam Generator Tubes.

.

I

The inspector found that the PSI program was in accordance with the

ASME code Section Xl, 1971 edition.

Preservice Inspection*Work Activities - Eddy Current Examination

of Steam Generator Tubes

The steam generator inspection program conducted at this time was

done to satisfy PSE&G general procedure 75-6467 and the Salem

FSAR.

Procedure 75-6467 requires that a preoperational examination

of 100% of .the steam generator tubes be done.

The inspector witnessed the eddy current examination of the following
