b.

(IEMI) 6M02 f or f abrication of the core flooding tcnks.

The documentation package for those tanks including Attach-

c.

cent A of QC 2-2 stating that the documentation package had

been reviewed and accepted by QA as teeting the require ents

'

of 6M32 and the tanks were released to construction.

The inspector observed that although IEMI 6M02 requires that

'

charpy tests be performed, records were not available to

confirm such tests for all of the material used in fabrication

-

of the tanks.

The material had been furnished by Lukens Steel

Company from Heat Mos. which were identified in the package.

However, documentation was not available to confirm performance

of charpy tests on soce of the caterial.

(Reat Nos. C5749-61

and 62, C5790-69 and C6588-72).

This is censidered to be a deficiency with respect to 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V which states, in part, " Activities

'

affecting quality shall be prescribed by docu=ented instruc-

l

tions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the

circu= stances and shall be acco=plished in accordance with

these instructions, procedures, or drawings."

UELC Field Welding

The inspectot observed field welding of the following joints:

-

l

No. DH-V107B (10 inch) on the decay Ecat Removal System.

a.

.

I

b.

Nos.143-A5 and 148-Al (1 inch) on the Makeup and Purifica-

tion System.

,

No.148A-1 (1 inch) on the Makeup and Purification System.

c.

g

The inspector found that the filler metal container of the welder

working on Item b above contained both bare filler metal, 308L

-

stainless steel and E7018 covered electrodes.

-B-

The inspector also observed that the welder working on item c above

made numerous " stops and starts" of the arc without grinding.

The

inspecter questioned the welder concerning the grinding require-

ments for this type of joint and was informed that grinding is not

norcally required f or socket veld joints

These actions are contrary to . . ' Specification 2555-72 Division

13, Section 13A. Paragraph 3.1.2.8 of this specification states,

in part, "Only one type of filler metal shall be issued to a welder

any one time and any previously issued but not used, shall be

atreturned f or bake-out or disposal".

And Paragraph 3.1.2.3 states,

" Arc strikes, starts and stops shall be recoved by grinding.

This is considered to be an infraction with respect to 10 CFR 50,

Appendix B, Criterion II which states, " Measures shall be estab-

lished to assure that special processes, including welding, heat

treating, and nondestructive testing, are controlled and acce=p-

-

lished by qualified personnel using qualified procedures in accord-

ance with applicable codes, standards, specifications. criteria,

and other special requirements."

4.

Drawing Control

.

Inadequate control of drawings in the field had previously been

identified as a noncompliance (Inspection Reports No. 50-320/74-04

and 74-09) .

The inspector reviewed the following:

UELC Procedure CCP l-2 " Drawing Specification and Document

a.

Control" dated April 22, 1975.

i

b.

Internal Memorandum dated April 21, 1975 which established a

~

require =ent for indoctrination of personnel in GCP 1-2.

,

GPU Service Corporation Audit Reports No. 75-01, 75-16 and

c.

75-20.

.

E

The inspector cbserved that CCP-12 required indoctrination and

training of personnel and frequent audits of drawings and other

docu=ents by each of the departments which receive and distribute

,

docu=ents.

The required indoctrination had been conducted and

the audits perforr.ed.

The GPU Service Corporation audits revealed

a decreasing number of deficiencies since early 1975.

Audit so.

75-20 identified only cinor discrepancies all of which were

corrected prior to co=pletion of the audit.

The site QA Auditor

stated that additicnal audits would be conducted in June and July,

1975 to observe that i= proved control of drawings was caintained.

The inspector examined the files and drawings maintained in the

UE&C Engineering Of fice and the piping and structural departtents,

spot checked the audits of the structural department and drawings

in the office of one of the piping forecen.

This item is resolved.

5.

Weldine Material Control

Failure to record the time of weld rod issue on requisition forms

'

had been identified as a nonce =pliance.

(Inspection Report 50-320/

75-03).

The inspector reviewed the appropriate velding caterial

control require =ents for B&W and UE&C.

The inspector reviewed several welding caterial issue slips and

observed that the date and time of issue of weld rod was recorded.

This item is resolved.

6.

Document Review

The inspector reviewed the following docu=ents in the areas speci-

fically related to velding of safety related piping.
