for construction testing of instrumentation. The inspector reviewed

procedure IM. SAD.01 Revision 00 dated January 26, 1979, titled Instrument

and Control Program.

(Closed) Noncompliance (358/78-16-04):

Sargent and Lundy specifications

require that the manufacturers supply motors which are capable of starting

and accelerating load at 80% applied voltage and are capable of developing

breakdown torque of not less than 200% of their normal full load

running torque. The inspector reviewed associated data curves for

the Electric Machinery supplied service water motors and Westinghouse

,,

reactor building closed cooling water pump motors. The records indicated

that the torque values were in accordance with S&L specifications.

.

(Closed) Noncompliance (358/78-16-05): Cables routed through flexible

conduit were located within three inches of each other.

The inspector

observed that the valves that are supplied by the above mention cables

were relocated. The cables were rerouted to meet the minimum separation

criteria.

(Closed) Noncompliance (358/78-16-06):

Requirements for qualification

and training of inspection and test personnel. The inspector reviewed

CG&E Audit Report lio. 218 which documents the results of audits conducted

on CG6E Electrical Operating and Test Department (EOTD).

The audit

indicated that certifications for CG&E employees meet the requirements

of ANSI-N45.2.6-1973.

(0 pen) Unresolved Item (358/78-29-02): Tech-Sil, Inc. Quality Assurance

Program.

The inspector reviewed Tech-Sil, Inc. qualification and training

program, against the requirements of ANSI N45.2.6-1973.

Also, the inspector

reviewed, calibration of test equipment. This item remains open pending

CG6E's QA conducting an audit on Tech-Sil, Inc. for scheduling and perform-

ance of audits conducted by Tech-Sil, Inc.

They stated that they would

. evaluated these audits prior to Tech-Sil performing safety-related work.

(open) Noncompliance (358/78-09-05):

Electric cable No. VY-710 was not

installed in accordance with instruction KEI QACMI No. E-7, Revision 7.

Per CG6E letter dated November 1,1978 from W. W. Schweirs to 3. K. Culver

concerning sample testing of instrument cables, the scope of the noncom-

pliance includes 157 cables (both Raychem and Samuel Moore).

Twenty-five

percent of those cables will be tested in accordance with the Samuel Moore

letter dated January 9, 1979, from A. P Clements to J. Seibert to

verify shield integrity.

100% of the cables will be tested in accordance

with the Megger/Hi Pot Testing Procedure EC-1, Revision 2.

(Open) Unresolved Item (358/78-16-01): Nonseismically supported pipe

installed over Class IE cable tray.

Sargent and Lundy is performing a

review to determine where nonseismic installations effect safety related

equipment.

Where necessary the nonseismic installations will be upgraded

to seismic.

(Open) Noncompliance (358/78-16-02):

No documented evidence could be

provided to assure that 53 differential pressure switches met the

requirements of the purchase specification.

During this inspection, the

RIII inspector reviewed partia) documentation supplied to CG&E (site)

for the cited instrumentation.

The documentation appeared to be

inadequate and incomplete in that in some cases there was no direct tie

between the supplied instrumentation and in some cases the documentation.

The documentation did not indicate testing in accordance with design

parameters specified.

The licensee has also started receiving documentation from other instru-

.

ment suppliers (three uf at least nine suppliers).

The CG&E Audit of Sargent and Lundy dated November 27-30, 1978

Report No. 78/10,Section II, Paragraph 3 indicates that checklists

-

based on purchase specification submittal requirements for all

safety related equipment at Zimmer are being prepared to assure, by

S6L engineering verification, that all necessary documentation is

received and complies to the purchase specifications. The licensee

stated that these actions will be reaffirmed and that an additional

audit will be performed by CG6E to assure the effectiveness of the

actions. The questionable equipment will be controlled in accordance

with the licensee's QA program.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (358/78-19-01): Quality Documentation -

Feedwater Safe End Modification.

Instrumentation - Review of Quality Records for Calibration

The RIII inspector reviewed calibration data sheets for the instruments

mentioned in paragraph 1.a of this section. Results of this review

are as follows:

-8-

.

a.

On January 24, 1979, in CG&E's calibration lab the inspector

observed the scale from test gauge TGA-024 being used as an aid,

i.e. pressure conversion, to calibrate IPT-CM010. TGA-024 was

schedaled for calibration 2 1/2 years previously and had a

sticker applied "D0 NOT USE UNTIL CALIBRATED." Use of TGA-024

would not effect calibration of IPT-CM010, however, the licensee

could not determine if TAG-024 had been used to calibrate

other Class IE instruments.

(NOTE: Procedure IM. SAD.01 to control nonqualified test equip-

ment had been approved on January 26, 1979.) This matter is

unresolved and will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.

(358/79-01-03)

b.

Instrument calibration procedure IC-GCP-P101 was used while

calibrating IPT-CM010.

The procedure was not approved for use.

It was stamped "Information Only."

This condition is contrary to 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI;

Wm. H. Zimmer Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1, FSAR, Chapter 17,

Paragraph 17.2.11.

This is an item of noncompliance identified

in Appendix A of the report transmittal letter.

(358/79-01-04)

Instrument IE 22-N004 was calibrated January 8, 1979, using test

c.

instruments TGA-193 and TDV-054. Calibration sheet for IE 22-N004

indicated calibration for TGA-193 expired December, 1978; TDV-024

expired October, 1978. Actually, exp*_ ration dates were March

and May, 1979, respectively as indicated on TGA-193 and TDV-034

calibration records.

NOTE: The test data sheet for IE 22-N004

had been reviewed and accepted by the I&C supervisor.

Failure to evaluate test results is contrary to 10 CFR 50,

Appendix B, Criterion XI; Wm. H. Zimmer Nuclear Power Station,

Design Change Control

The RIII inspector selected four Design Document Changes (Nos.

SLE-295 dated January 4, 1977, SLE-466 dated June 16, 1978,

SLS-322 dated October 30, 1978; and SLM-461 dated November 7,

1978) to verify implementation.

The DDCs were either posted on or

incorporated in the applicable drawings.

The change identified in SLE-295 was accomplished as indicated on

the appropriate record, during the initial insta11allan activities.

Thus, there was no need for rework or reinspection.

The changes identified on SLE-466 included jumper wires which were

to be removed from Panel IPL10JC.

SLE-466 had been incorporated

into S&L drawings E-3572, Revision F and E-3571, Revision A.

Electrical Construction Test Procedure EC-12 record indicated

requirements of SLE-466 had been accomplished.

The RIII inspector

checked 10 of the 27 jumpers.

The jumpers had been properly removed.

The activities required by SLS-322 and SLM-461 had not been accomp-

lished but were controlled.

The RIII inspector reviewed and discussed the measures established

to assure that all design changes would be accomplished.

The

Construction Coordination of System Turnover for Preoperation

Testing Procedure, No. Admin 2, Revision 1 identified design change

reviews (i.e., Design Document changes, drawings, specifications,
