Areas Inspc-*ed:

Routine, unannounced inspection of construction activities

including site tour; observation of work and review of records for Unit I

safety-related welding of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary piping; observation

of work and review of records and procedures related to protection of installed

safety-related components; and the review of records relative to protection of

the Unit 1 reactor vessel internals.

The inspection involved sixty-six inspector-

hours by two NRC inspectors.

2.

Site Tour

'

The IE inspectors toured the Units 1 and 2 Reactor Buildings and Auxiliary

Building to observe construction activities in progress and to inspect

housekeeping.

.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

3.

Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping

a.

Observation of Work

The IE inspector, in the process of observing the fit-up and alignment

i

of a socket weld, identified as FW-13 on Drawing BRP-SI-1-RB-025,

Revision 1, noted that the type 308 weld material being used for tack

I

welding was not of the type specified in the Welding Procedure Specifi-

cation (WPS) 88023, Revision 8, Interim Change Notice 1.

The WPS

specifies that type 316 weld material shall be used for welding type

316 base material to type 304 base material.

In the case of weld FW-13,

the valve is type 316 and the pipe is type 304.

At the time of the inspection, no other Class 1 welds were being

<

fit-up or welded in the area for observation by the IE inspector.

Failure to follow the WPS with respect to type of weld mater al

appears-to bs in noncompliance with the requirements of 10 CFR

Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V.

b.

Review of Records

'

The IE inspector selectively reviewed documentation of receiving

'

inspections, welding material test reports, welder qualifications,

nondestructive tests, and QC inspection personnel certifications

for compliance with the ASME B&PV Code requirements for the following

,

I

- QI-MCP-10.1, Revision 0, " Mechanical Equipment Storage Maintenance,"

l

dated May 19, 1979; TUSI Procedure QI-QP-11.3.12; and Construction

Procedure MCP-10, "Scorage and Maintenance of Mechanical and Electrical

<

Equipment," Revision 4, dated June 14, 1979. QA/QC inspection records

t

reviewed included the period September 2, 1977, through December 4, 1979.

Safety-Related Components - Observation of Work and Work Activities

During this inspection, the IE inspector conducted a walk-thru and

inspection of the Unit 1 Containment Building and Auxiliary Building

"

to observe installation and prctection of safety-related components.

In addition to a general observation, the IE inspector selected four

motor control valves installed in the primary coolant system for specific

observation and records review.

Valves slected were: 12" GM 88SEH 0007A;

10" GM78FHN 0008A; 10" GM88FHN 0002B; and 10" GM78FHN 0007.

Observations

were made of each of the installed valves with a comparative review of

the requirements prescribed by B&R Construction Procedure, " Storage and

Storage Maintenance of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment," MCP-10,

Revision 4, dated June 14, 1979, and TUSI Procedure QI-QP-ll.3.31, dated

January 5,1980.

It was observed by the IE inspector that both mechanical

and electrical protection is being maintained in accordance with the pres-

cribed procedures.

-

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

6.

Safety-Related Components - Review of Quality Records

During this inspection, the IE inspector conducted a review of the licens-

4

j

ee s records of inspection activities relative to the protection of safety-

related components after installation.

Inspection records were reviewed in

conjunction with requirements prescribed by B&R Procedure, " Mechanical

Equipment Storage and Maintenance," QI-MCP-10.1, Revision 0, dated May 19,

i

1979, and TUSI Procedure QI-QP-ll.3.31, dated January 5,1980. Records

'

selected for review included inspection records of components observed by

the IE inspector as having been installed in the Unit 1 Containment Building,

i.e., motor control valves No. GM88SEH 0007A, GM78FHN 0008A, GM88FHN 0002B,

and GM78FHN 0007.

The records reflect inspection activities were conducted

in accordance with procedural requirements.

<
