A.

Persons Contacted E. J. Baraniak, Piping Engineer W. P. Coffey, Electrical Engineer A. N. DeAngelis, Supervising Discipline Engineer, Structural R. L. Kerstetter, Design Supervisor, Nuclear K. A. Laird, Piping Engineer

  • R. C. Lesnefsky, Quality Assurance Engineer D. C. Harr, Supervising Engineer, Quality Planning A. P. Ricci, Design Supervisor, Instrumentation & Control R. B. Rock, Electrical Engineer J. J. Rockwell, Design Supervisor, Mechanical Serv.'.ces
  • D. J. Stride, Project Administrator J. Wenelawiak, Supervising Engineer, Mechanical Services
  • Denotes those present at exit meeting.

B.

Action on Previous Inspection Findings 1.

(0 pen) Leviation (Report No. 79-02): Contrary to Chapter 17.1.3 (Design Control) of the WPPSS-PSAR, a specification for the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST) and the Demineralized Water Storage Tank contained seismic response spectra which had been superseded.

UE&C has issued a contract modification to the vendor (Welk Brothers) which requires them to submit revised calculations for the BWST and Demineralized Water Storage Tank that will meet the revised response spectra. These calculations are to be submitted in mid-September.

2.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (Report No. 79-02):

It is not apparent who is to maintain the Design ~

cew Control Logs, how much detail is to be maintained in the logs a_. how to determine when a management level design review (DRR) is complete. Administrative Procedure No. 21 (Seabrook Station) was revised on 8-3-79.

This procedure now states "When a DRR has been approved with comments and a resubmittal using a new DRR number is not required, the response to the CDE comments will use a project serial memo addressing the DRR serial number as a subject, and a reference, will be used to document the resolution of the comments from a design review. Memorandum serial 1593 112

3 numbers will be recorded to close out the DRR in the control log."

The Design Review Control Logs have been updated to show these entries.

3.

(0 pen) Deviation (Report No. 78-04): Contrary to 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVII, and WNP-1 PSAR, some vendor drawings were not reviewed by the UE&C Reliability and Quality Assurance Department.

This method of not reviewing all drawings for inclusion of quality requirements appears to be inconsistent with NRC requirements and has been forwarded to NRR/QAB as an item for further consideration.

C.

Design Change Control 1.

Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that:

Procedures have been established and implemented for controlling a.

changes to approved design documents.

b.

Design Changes resulting form tests, interference problems, failures of structures, systems or components, disposition of nonconformances, changes in requirements, operating experience and design improvements are:

(1) reviewed for the impact of the change (2) documented as to the action taken, and (3) transmitted to all affected persons and organizations.

The design changes are justified and subjected to review and c.

approval by the same groups or organizations as for the origi-nal design (see d. below for exceptions).

d.

When responsibility has been changed, the designated organiza-tion shall have access to the pertinent information, competence in the specific area of design, and an understanding of the requirements and intent of the original design.

2.

Method of Accomplishment The preceding objectives were accomplished by an examination of:

Section 17.2 (UE&C Quality Assurance) of WNP-1 PSAR (Prelim-a.

inary Safety Analysis Report) amendment 10, plus utility approved PSAR Deviation Requests.

1.

Documentation related to vendor surveillance activities for Contract 15-1 for containment Steel Liner for PDM (Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel) for Project 9763 (Note that PDM contract scope includes both fabrication and installation; hence the containment liner will not be finally accepted by UE&C until after site erection and testing):

(1) Audit Report No. NH-42 dated March 5,1975, indicating that PDM will sub the fabrication of the containment liner (except sumps and pits) to IHI (Ishikawajimr-Harima Heavy Industries Co. Ltd.) and surveillance over IHI fabrication to Inteco (International Inspection Company, Ltd.) UE&C stated that surveillance of IHI and Inteco is a PDM respons-ibility. Hence, UE&C did not perform direct surveillance, but audited PDM and performed detailed documentation reviews of IHI document packages and radiographs of knuckle welds and penetration welds.

(2) Audit Report No. NH-57, reviewing the status of Level 2 Sur-veillance at IHI and includes several findings; Audit Report No. NH-101, including 20 findings; Verificatica Audit No.

j.

Documentation related to acceptance of services supplied under Contract 5-1 for Civil Testing Facility and Services by PTL (Pittsburg Testing Laboratory) for Project 9763 (Note that sur-veillance of PTL activities is done at the site by UE&C Field QA and records were not available in Philadelphia):

(1) Audit Report No. NH-234 dated November 29, 1978, indicating eleven (11) findings, and acceptance of responses dated April 10, 1979.

3.

Findings a.

In this area of the inspection, one deviation was identified.

(See Notice of Deviation, Item B).

Concerning this deviation, note that for this project Vendor Nonconformance Reports dis-positioned "use-as-is" and " repair" are not included or required to be in the vendor data packages (vendor manufacturing records) by purchase orders or Vendor Surveillance Check Plans (see Procedure QA 7-2).

Requirements of Procedure QA-17 are not being implemented as to the method of retention of Vendor Nonconformances (use-as-is and repair) as QA Records designated for lifetime re-tention. No other method of retention is designated procedurally to assure maintenance and retrievability, although Seabrook PSAR commits to both ANSI N45.2.9 and N45.2.13.

b.

No unresolved items were identified.

c.

During the inspector's selection of procurements to examine and their safety designations, it was noted that the purchase order list for Project 9763 did not indicate the Spent Fuel Bridge 1593 12;

12 and Hoist as Category I (Seismic I), whereas Table 3.2-2 of the PSAR for Seabrook did list these as Category I (Seismic I).

Further review showed that PSAR Amendment 5, Section 9.1.1.3, changed this crane from Seismic I to non-Seismic Category I, but the change was inadvertently missed in Table 3.2-2.

During the course of the audit, a " Record of PSAR Design Deviations" was generated to correct the internal discrepancy within the PSAR and to assure that the needed editorial correction to Table 3.2-2 has been identified, approved, and will appear in the FSAR (Final Safety Analysis Report).
