Inspection _ S_umrary

Inspection on November 16-17 and 21, 1978 (Report No. 50-355/75-27)

Areas Inspected:

Inspection of safety-related hangers and restraints

and document control provision for pipe stress calculations and reports

including:

(1) Review of wel. ding and NDE procedures, (2) Observation

of weld control and performance, (3) Review of welding and raterial

records, (4) Observation of hanger component outdoor storage, and (5)

Review of document control reasures for pipe stress analyses.

The

inspection involved a total of 13 inspector-hours onsite, and 5 inspec-

tor-hours at the Sargent and Lundy offices by one NRC inspector.

Results: Of the five areas inspected, no apparent items of noncorpliance

were identified in four areas; one item of noncompliance was identified

in one area (Infraction - rigid supports welded to essential piping were

without material and welder's identification - Paragraph 3.d).

Licensee Action on Previous 1v Identified Items

(open) Noncompliance Item (358/78-18-01): Inadequate hanger, snubber,

and restraint inspection program.

The details of the probicm areas

observed are recorded in RIII Report No. 78-18,Section II, Paragraph 1.

_-

During this inspection samples of the KEI " Construction Inspection

.

-

Plan Daily Work Sheet, Inprocess Inspection", and the CG6E " Mechanical

Construction Test Procedure" MC-5 entitled " Pipe Support Final Inspec-

tion," Revision 0, dated September 5, 1978, were reviewed by the

inspector and are considered unacceptable based on the following

findings:

.

1.

The inprocess inspection checklist relative to the specific

inspection areas was not prepared and approved by supervision

or engineering.

2.

No requirements for documenting deviations if they are not within

specific acceptance tolerance.

3.

Inspections that should be carried out during inprocess instal-

lations to ensure timely corrections and prevent recurrence

were placed in final inspection period when adjustment of

components are required prior to testing and operations.

Functional or Program Areas Inspected

1.

Review of Welding and NDE Procedures for Hangers and Restraints

The following procedures from the Kaiser Engineers, Inc. (KEI)

Special Process Procedure Fanual (SPPM) were reviewed by the

inspector relative to the welding and NDE work for hangers and

restraints.

a.

SPPM No. 3.1.51, " Shielded Metal Arc, AWS Carbon Steel

to Carbon Steel Structural Shapes Charpy Tested A-588

Gr. B (As rolled)", dated February 17, 1975.

This procedure

was qualified on January 24, 1975.

b.

SPPM No. 4. 6, R. 3," Visual Examination", dated May 23, 1978.

c.

SPPM No. 3.3, R.4,

" Welding Filler Materials Control

Procedure", dated April 9, 1975.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

.

.

2.

Observation of Weld Controls and Performance

-

a.

The inspector observed the weld filler metal issuanc.6

station east of the reactor building.

Items reviewed

-3-

.

included calibration of electrode holding oven, control

of portable heated containers, segregation of electrodes

by type and size, and certifications of electrodes.

-

b.

The inspector observed the finished shop and field welds

on hangers and snubbers number lWS044SR, LWR 091SR,

,.

LWR 214HR, LWR 200HR, and 1WS311HA.

No rejectable weld

surface conditions had been identified.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

3.

Re_ view of Welding and, Material Records

Selective areas of weld filler metal and attachment hanger

materials for the following items were reviewed by the

inspector for certification of compliance.

a.

Snubber lWS0445R:

The heat number on the pipe attachment, a section of 8"

sch. 40 pipe, is 31565.

It was shop welded to line

lWS15A18.

b.

Rigid Restraint LWR 091SR:

The heat number on the pipe attachment is 252661, shop

welded to line 1WR03A14.

c.

Anchor lWS311HA:

The heat numbers on the shear lugs are 69D782 and 71AOSS.

The material certification, including tensile testing

and chemical analysis for Heat No. 69D782, was reviewed

by the inspector.

d.

Rigid Supports LWR 200HR, and LWR 214HR:

The heat numbers for the rigid support pipe members

welded to the Closed Cooling System lines LWR 06A14

and LWR 07314 designated as pipe class "C" and seismic

class "B" essential components were not available.

Further, the heat numbers for the weld filler metal

and welders' identification were not marked on the

supports or recorded in the installation documents.

.-

Rigid Seismic Restraints 1FC0375R:

-

e.

There were no heat numbers on the eight shear lugs. ~

Noncompliance Report No. E 1445, dated November 8,

1978, was written to document this.

-4-

.

'

The lack of control and identification of safety related materials

as described in item d above is an apparent item of noncompliance

identified in Appendix A.

(358/78-27-01).

J

Except as noted, no items of noncompliance or deviations were

identified.

.-

4.

Observation of Hanger Component Outdoor Storage

The condition of components for hangers and restraints stored

outdoors at the laydown area, east of the reactor buildings,

was considered questionable.

Rust was observed at the ball

bushing coated structural members.

Components were observed

off the dunnage on the sandy soil.

A Nonconformance Report,

No. E-851 identified piping storage problems at the same area

on October 10, 1977. This report was still open.

The inspector

stated that he had concerns relative to:

(1) the acceptability

of the rusty and frozen bushings which may require close gap

clearance, and (2) the timely resolution of noncemformances.

This is an unresolved item pending more in-depth inspection

during a future visit.

(358/78-27-02)

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

5.

S&L Pipe Stress Report Document Control

The inspector received a telephone call on October 17, 1978, from

an individual who alleged that the control for documentation of

the stress reports was not adequate.

The inspector performed

investigations relative to the subject matter on November 21, 1978,

at the S&L office, Chicago. With the exception of one specific

problem relative to the engineer not keeping an up-to-date proce-

dure, no apparent problems were identified during the investigation

and inspection.
