Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings

(0 pen) Noncompliance (358/79-13-16):

Specification of Env._ nmental

Requirements for Gaskets, Sealants, etc. in HVAC systems.

Sargent &

Lundy issued Supplement 3 dated August 3, 1979 to Specification H-2298

for HVAC ductwork with the radiation dose requirements. However, the

temperature and humidity requirements, which these material will be

subjected to in addition to the radiation, specified in pages 3-11-12

through 3-11-14 of the,Zimmer FSAR are not reflected in Revisison 3.

The additional information provided consisted of the following documents:

1.

Literature from DuPont elastomers stating the thermal resistince of

Neoprene.

2.

A letter from Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company to S & L st. ting the

cht.racteristics of style E diaphram, on which irradiation tests were

not performed. The lettey indicates the results of a sir.ilar EDPM

compound tested at 5 x 10 trads.

'

The licensee stated Gat the specification will be revised to reflect

the temperature au m idity requirements and would obtain from the

manufacturer the maionship between EPDM compound and 'E'

style

diaphram.

(CloseO Noncompliance (358/79-13-02): The inspector reviewed Weld

Procedure Specification (WPS) PQW-33 approved by S & L on June 1, 1979

which qualifies welding A527 type material to A-240 using AWS#RCuSi-A

type electrode. Tests performed by Patzig Testing Laboratories indicate

that the WPS meets the requirements of 1974 edition of the ASME Section

IX.

Inspection of these welds is not complete as work is being

accomplished in other areas.

(Closed) Item of Noncompliance (358/79-13-03): Failure to perform audits.

The inspector reviewed a corporate audit perfo 1ned by the Waldinger

Corporation, Des Moines, on their site office during June 13, 14 and 15,

1979 to verify the implementation verification of the Quality Procedures.

Four audit findings were identified relative to approved vendor's list,

controlability of the Construction Manual, alignment inspection of installed

rotating equipment and inspection requirements for equipment placing

(hanging) and setting.

Corrective action taken was verified and signed

off as complete on all four findings prior to July 18, 1979.

(Open) Unresolved Item (358/79-14-01): Additional information from the

manufacturers of HVAC equipment was being collected to prepare checklists

to verify the adequacy of the installation. The contractor requested the

licensee to provide acceptance criteria. Pending receipt of the infor-

mation and development of an acceptable checklist, this item remains

open.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (358/79-16-02): The floor above the switchgear

room adjacent to the control room was observed to have dust paricles and

Zonalite. Corrective action taken is considered inadequate, and this

unresolved item is escalated to an item of noncompliance, a deficiency,

housekeeping conditions adverse to quality contrary to the requirements

of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion XIII.

(358/79-28-01)

(Closed) Unresolved (358/79-14-03): The certificate of conformance

supplied by ACS Industries, the supplier of the moisture separators for

the Essential Filter Packages did not address the requirements of

paragraph 203.2.C.

S & L Design Document change #SLM-498 dated May 30,

1979 deleting this requireme .t; justification was tha: 203.2.C far exceeds

the actual design requiresents that essential moisture separators will be

subjected to during abnarmal operating conditions.

.

(Closed) Unresolved (358/79-16-05): A program was to be developed and

implemented by Powers Regulator to inspect the compressed-air lanes

installed by them which are attached to safety related systems to preclude

damage to the safety related systems during installation. The licensee

in a letter dated June 15, 1979 requested MCC Powers (Powers) to submit

as-built drawings to S & L for approval. Discussion with Powers' Site

Manager indicates that Tubing / Tray Installation procedure #QAP526 is

under preparation and a system walkdown will be performed to confirm that

their installation is in accordance with their as-built drawings and

p'rocedure .

(Closed) Unresolved (358/79-16-06): The details on mounting of the

Radiation Sensors - RelD13N009B and RE1D1BN019B to meet Seismic Category

I requirements has been finalized in Design Drawing Change (DDC) #SLS-349

and drawing M559 Revision 6, respectively. The sensors are in storage

since they contain radioactive elements.

Functional or Program Areas Inspeciqd

1.

Observation of HVAC Hanger Repairs

The inspector reviewed the pregress of the corrective action being

taken bv Walding, Young & Bertke (WYB), the HVAC contractor, to

repair the nonconformances identified on the hanger supports. This

work is being accomplished by working in designated areas.

The

inspector reviewed selected Nonconformance Reports on which correct.ve

action was completed and verified that the completed work was satis-

factory. The inspector also observed the work in progress and

det rmined that applicable procedures were being followed.

The following hangers at elevation 546' in the proximity of the

a.

control room as indicated in drawing 514-5 required additional

Everdur and reinforcement on welds.

Corrective action taken

was verified to be complete and satisfactory.

(1) Hanger #2020 - Inspection Report (IR) I#21

(2) Hanger #2011 - IR#22

b.

During the inspection, corrective action vas being taken on the

hanger #2022, IR#I-73, at elevation 546' in the control room

vicinity. Clips which had not been installed on the hanger

legs as shown in drawing M514-5 were being corrected. Weld

Procedure Specification (WPS) JW1-28 Revision 2 was specified;

as specified, Shield Metal Arc Welding process was being used

with 1/8" diameter E-6011 type weldrod.

Subsequently, documenta-

tion on the qualification of the weldor who was performing the

weld and the weldrod withdrawal wa. verified and determined to

be acceptable.

c.

The inspector observed installation of hangers #2190 and 2195

in progress; the hangers are identified in drawing #M513-6.

Design Drawing Change (DDC) WYB-600 which identifies the

modifications to the hangers was being implemented. Welding

was being performed to the requirements of WPS W1-28 Revision

2; SMAW process with 1/8" and 3/32" diameter E6010 type elec-

trodes were being used. Subsequently, the inspector reviewed

.

documentation on the weldor qualifications and weldrod withdrawal

..

and determined it to be acceptable.

d.

The inspector reviewed NCR#FI-1A dated May 22, 1979 which

identifies that one nut was tissing on the support structure

for secondary containment iso ation damper IVG03YB identified

on drawing M513-6. The inspector independently verified that

the bolt has since been replaced. The NRC remains open pending

reinspection.

2.

Unacceptable Housekeeping Conditions

Unresolved Item 378/79-14-02 identified during an inspection in

May 22-24, 1979 identified unacceptable housekeeping conditions on

the false cei'ing of the switchgear room adjacent to the control

room. The inspector was assured that these conditions would be

corrected. On September 10, 1979, the inspector observed the following

conditions.

Considerable sandlike dust disintegrated from Zonolite flooring

a.

was on the floor.

b.

Miscellaneous construction debris mainly consisting of insulation

removed from installations were scattered on the floor.

c.

Welding activities were being performed by HVAC and electrical

contractors without' adequately protecting the installed safety

related cables.

The licensee and contractor personnel acknowledged the adverse

housek2eping conditions. The inspector expressed concern that the

above unacceptable sonditions could adversely affect the operability

of the equipment installed in the control room due to a construction

opening joining the false ceiling to the control room. The inspector

informed the licensee that this previously identified unresolved

item is being escalated to an item of noncompliaace, contrary to the

requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XIII.

(35S/79-28-01)

The licensee acknowledged the findings and initiated corrective

action to clean the area, to block the construction opening and

review the cleanliness of the installed panels in the control room.
