250-AC0-1 for use with the above procedures, are now available at Plant No.1 2.
(Closed) Deviation No. B (Report No. 78-01):
Failure to cali-brate the contact surface pyrometer SN N-13442, used in measu -
ing the welding preheat and interpass temperatures. The inspector found that the subject device was calibrated on July 19, 1978, by Service Tectonics, Inc. and their certificate of calibration is on file at plant No.l.
In addition, this device has been included in the calibration program recall file system.
3.
(Closed) Deviation No. C (Report No. 78-01):
Failure to provide a subcontractor's statement or certificate delineating calibra-tion details and data for prior calibrations of the Lucifer postweld stress relief furnace and failure to have the required heat uniformity survey performed on this furnace. The inspector found that the subject furnace was surveyed and calibrated in July 1978, and the documentation for the temperature uniformity survey and calibration are available at Plant No. 1.
In addi-tion, this furnace has been included in the calibration recall file system.
. 4.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (Report No. 78-01):
Failure to have all of the new corporate NDE procedures issued for use at Plant No. I accepted by the Authorized Nuclear Inspector.
The inspec-tor found that the AMIS at both Plants No. 1 and No. 2 had issued memorandums dated June 5, 1978, and June 2, 1978, res-pectively, verifying that all new procedures for use at Plant No. I had been reviewed and accepted by them.
