Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings

(open) Noncompliance Item (329/78-03-03; 330/78-03-03) The NRC inspectors

reviewed the' interim and final reports relative to this matter. During

discussions with the licensee and Bechtel personnel, the NRC inspectors

determined that there was no documented evidence that the field engineering

recommendation in NRC 987 "to rework all fillet welds that have coarse

ripples, high crowns, excessive concavity or convexity, and where

-2-

. _ _

.

'

the base metal has been ground and grooved to unacceptable thickness" was

in fact accomplished. The contractor personnel after consultations stated

that an engineering review was performed on the above unacceptable welds,

and concluded the welds "as is" were acceptable. The NRC inspectors

informed the licensee that these welds will be reexamined during a subse-

quent inspection.

(Closed) Noncompliance (330/79-22-02) Control of welding material. The

inspector established that Bechtel supervising personnel and craftsmen

have been instructed the procedure requirements of handling welding rods.

(Closed) Unresolved item (329/79-17-01 and 330/79-17-02) Welder Qualifica-

tion Records. The inspector reviewed the qualification records of the

welders in question. It was determined that the errors have been corrected

and a discrepancy was also corrected immediately. Additionally, the

inspector randomly selected qualification records of 30 other welders for

review, with no further discrepancies being identified.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (329/79-24-01 and 330/79-24-01) B & W procedure:

The inspector reviewed the revised procedure No. 9-WG-107, Revision 3.

It was determined that the procedure has 'oeen revised to clarify the

handling of return unused welding material.

I

(Closed) Unresolved Item (329/79-24-02) Ground out in pipe: The inspector

reviewed a Bechtel letter to Consumers Power Company dated January 3, 1980

stating that the ground in the pipe was examined and no mimimum wall thick-

ness was violated. However, why and when it was ground was undeterminable.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (330/79-22-01) Design changes after work is

complete: This item became an item of deviation (Section I, paragraph

8).

Service Water System Spools No. OHBC-19-S-619-6-6 and No. 2HBC-88-S-

619-6-1 and valve serial No. D0061-1-3. It was determined that r,n

August 21 and 22, 1979, both flanges of the valve were unbolted and

then re-bolted. The inspection records indicated that the internal

surfaces on the spools were inspected for cleanliness but not the

valve. Upon questioning the licensee's contractor, the inspector was

informed that the internal surface of the valve was inspected for

cleanliness but failed to date and signed off on the record. This

condition is an item of noncompliance as identified in Appendix A.

(330/80-01-02)

Design Changes Made After Completion of Work Activities (Unit 1 and 2)

During the inspection of October 10-12, 1979, (IE Inspection Reports

No. 50-329/79-22 and No. 50-30/79-22) the adequacy of tracking the

design changes after work activities have been completed was in

question.

-6-

.

During this inspection the inspector reviewed a letter from Bechtel

-

Power Corporation to Consumers Power Company dated November 23,

1979.

Paragraph 4 of the above letter states, that, " Assurance that

the change is implemented is provided by:

a.

Field Engineering monitoring of in process work.

b.

Final system walkdown by Field Engineering.

Piping configuration review by Quality Control per QCIR P-1.00.

c.

The inspector was also informed by the licensee's contractor that

each field engineer may have his own informal method of tracking

such a change. The inspector was shown a punch list which was ini-

tiated in November, 1979. The inspector asked how and when was the

punch list prepared. The licensee's contractor stated that, " Punch

list is prepared as a result of (1) awareness of item requiring

system completion (including design change of completed work) and

(2) as backup by physical walkdown. The punch list can be prepared

approximately six months prior to system turn over to the licensee.

The inspector stated that none of the above methods provides a

positive way of tracking design changes and assuring that completed

-work is modified in accordance with the design changes.

Furthermore, the inspector established that there is no procedure

for handling design changes made after completion of work. This

condition is an item of deviation as identified in Appendix B.

Review of Quality Assurance Implementing Procedures for

Instrumentation Units 1 and 2

The inspector reviewed Bechtel specification J-218 (Q) Revision 7,

titled, " Technical Specification for installation fo field mounted

instrumentation for Nuclear Services" which outlines the requf.rements

for the installation of field mounted instruments, procurement of

installation materials and layout detailing, fabrication, and instal-

b.

Receipt inspections are performed to Quality Control Instruction

(QCI) R-1.00 and the results documented in the relevant QCIR.

Nonconforming components are identified during receipt inspections'

cursory visual inspections and are performed to identify shipping

damage and verify whether the relevant documents have accompanied

the shipment.

d.

QCI I-1.10 outlines the installation requirements for instruments

and the results are documented in the relevant QCIR.

Some of

the salient points inspected are:

The inspector observed that in Unit 2 the tubing had been installed

to the above instruments, but were being dismantled because the

separation criteria was not met. The installation was according to

drawing FSK-JC2-0037 (Q) sheets one to four. Discussions with licensee

personnel indicate that the drawings reflected neither the separation

criteria nor Project Engineering approval, both of which are specified

in Paragrpah 5.3.7 of the Specification J-218 (Q). On January 11,

Containment Prestressing System (Unit 2)

During this inspection the containment prestressing system procedures

quality records and inspection and testing personnel qualifications

were inspected. In addition, specific allegations that were reported

to the Region III NRC office on January 7, 1980 regarding prestressing

system equipment calibration records, stressing sequence, qualification

of inspection personnel and prestressing work activities were addressed

during this inspection,

a.

Procedures

The inspector reviewed the following procedures for containment

prestressing work activities:

(1)

C-2, Revision 13 (Nov. 9, 1979), Technical Specification

for post-tensioning system including FCR C-1986 (revised

stressing sequence) and FCR C-2079 (revised stressing

sequence) to drawing C2-170-3. Both of these field

changes to the stressing sequence were reviewed and discus-

sed with the Bechtel design engineer since the stressing

sequence is different than what is normally specified. It

was shown that design control measures were in effect for

the review and approval of the subject stressing sequence

changes.

.

The inspector requested to be notified if any further

changes to the stressing sequence occur.

,.

(2) C-146 Revision 3B (October 11, 1979), Field Installation

Manual, including FCR's Nos. 2188, 2187, 2185, 2184, 2175,

2172, 2166, 2062, 2048, 2047, and 2041.

The inspector indicated a conflict between FCR No. 2062

and 2185. FCR 2062 approved the adjustment of both over-

stress value and lift-off value in the event of broken or

missing tendon wires. This was concurred with INRYC0 via

telex dated August 21, 1979. Subsequently, FCR 2185 was

issued which requested a clarification whether both over-

stress and lift-off should b

sted or just overstress

-

value. Bechtel Engineering re%

i with approval of

adjusting only the overstress v..ue. Because of this

discrepancy the inspector requested a telecon'with Bechtel

Engineering.

It was explained that the first FCR 2062 was in error and

FCR 2185 was to rectify that apparent error. There are no

further questions on this matter at this time.

The inspector also requested justification of the revision

to germit grease temperature to be increased first from

180 F to 210 F and subsequent to three nonconforming

Qualification of QC Inspectors for Prestresssing Work

During a May 14-17, 1979 inspection (Report No. 329/79-10;

330/79-10) this NRC inspector had indicated to the licensee

that none of the Bechtel QC inspectors to be assigned the

inspection of the containment prestressing system had any prior

related work experience on prestressing systems. At this time

no work had begun on the prestressing system.

During a follow-

up inspection on September 11-14, 1979 (Report 329/79-19;

d

330/79-19) this inspector issued an item of nomeompliance in

that the licensee's contractor failed to meet the requirements

of Regulatory Guide 1.58 and ANSI N45.2.6 in that the QC inspec-

tors permitted to inspect the prestressing system were not

qualified to the requirements of the regulatory guide.

Following the above, this inspector was requested by the licen-

see to re-evaluate the qualifications of the assigned inspectors.

The NRC inspector developed a series of questions based on the

requirements of the Prestressing Field Installation Manual. The

licensee administered this examination to the QC inspectors.

The results are documented in NRC report 329/79-22; 330-79-22.

The results indicated that a number of assigned inspectors did

not have a clear understanding of the requirements and therefore

were not qualified.

Subsequent to the above, a meeting was held in the Region III

NRC office in Glen Ellyn on October 25, 1979. The results of

that meeting are documented in NRC report 329/79-23; 330/79-23.

During this inspection, this inspector in conjunction with the

licensee's representative administered a practical examination

to eight QC personnel to demonstrate their ability *3

inspect

prestressing system buttonheads. The QC inspectors were required

to inspect 12 buttonheads for head dimensions, eccentricity,

and crack influence and record the results of their inspection.

- 13 -

!

.

..

The results of this. practical examination indicated that seven of

-

the eight QC inspectors understand how to inspect buttonheads.

However, it was clear that one of the assigned QC inspectors was

unable to perform the inspections on buttonheads. This individual

has been previously identified in Report 329/79-18; 330/79-18 as

Individual "A" and later identified in report 329/79-22; 330/79-22

as Individual "B".

The licensee has directed Betchtel to remove the individual from any

further quality control functions.

In addition, the licensee is reviewing the records to determine the

inspections performed by the individual to determine what reinspec-

tion is necessary.

This matter remains open and will be followed during subsequent

inspections.

In addition, the inspector is to witness any reinspec-

tion of completed work.

The specific allegation that the above jacks were not

properly calibrated by the INRYC0 was investigated. This

NRC inspector discussed the calibration procedure with

representatives from INRYC0 quality assurance group in

,

Melrose Park, Illinois.

INRYC0 Calibration Procedure QA 9.1.6 states that, "if

less than 66% of the readings are used in the computation,

the ram will be recalibrated." INRYC0 explained that

readings below 1000 PSI are omitted per procedure and that

- 14 -

_

_

_

.

'*

of the remaining readings are used.

This is included in

the procedure in that, "During computation of large rams,

usually in excess of 250 tons...the first reading of 1000

PSI will always be deleted from the calculations and will

not be considered in the tolerance check on the 66% accept-

able readings noted below.

Based on a review of the calibration records, readings of

500 PSI and 1000 PSI were deleted as permitted by the

procedure. In addition, readings of 2000 and 3000 PSI were

deleted. However, this still permits more than 66% of the

readings to be effectively used in calculating the ram

area. Therefore, the allegation that readings were being

omitted is correct; however, this is acceptable per the

INRYC0 procedure.

The calibration records noted above were reviewed and

found to meet the INRYC0 procedure for calibrating pre-

stressing jacks. INRYC0 indicated that the procedure being

used for Midland is QA 9.1.G, Revision 1, dated March 5,

1979.

It was also noted that the calibration record did not

include the theoretical ram area as an entry on the form

for Prescon Jack #1 and #3, Dugdeon Jack #'s 8780, 8778,

8783 and 8784. Discussion with INRYC0 QA indicated that

this information was neglected from the form; however, was

available and corrections would be made to the form.

INRYC0 indicated revised calibration records would be sent

to the licensee and NRC office. This item remains unresolved

pending corrections of calibration records.

(329/80-01-07;

330/80-01-08).

(2) Prestressing Gauges

The inspector observed comparison of prestressing gauge

No. N-601 and N-1113 to the master gauge. The calibration

comparison meets the required tolerance of 0.5% of maximum

gauge reading.

Gauge N-17 was identified as being out-of-tolerance or

December 15, 1979 in that the-gauge was out 400 PSI at

each increment of calibration. The gauge was returned to

INRYC0 and a nonconformance report 2812 issued to document

the occurrence.

This NCR is open and will be reviewed

when resolved.

Closure of Reportable 50.55(e) on Tendon Lengths

,

The Final Report on the Unit 2 containment Building prestressing

tendons was received by the RIII NRC office on October 31, 1979

(HOWE 281-79). The notification dealt with prestressing system

tendons that were shipped to the site with indeterminate wire

lengths. Tendons were fabricated by INRYC0 at their Wiremill

. facility in Florida. All of the suspect tendons have been

rejected and removed from the construction site. In addition,

corrective action has been taken to adjust the fabrication

equpment that caused the deficiency to occur.

Additional inspection effort on this issue is documented in NRC

Report 329/79-19; 330/79-19 (page 3). This reportable deficiency

is considered closed. Continuing inspections will be performed

in this area.

No items of noncompliance were identified in the above areas.

Unresolved Matters

Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required in

order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, items of noncomp-

liance or deviations. Unresolved items identified during this inspection

are discussed in Section II and III of this report.

Exit Interview

The inspectors met with licensee representatives (denoted in the Persons

Contacted paragraph) at the conclusion of the inspection. The scope and

purpose of the inspection were outlined along with the summarization of

the results. The licensee representatives acknowledged the indicated

results. The NRC inspector also emphasized that the review of Bechtel's

quality records needed improvement. Examples indentified by the NRC

inspector are unresolved items (qualification of welders 329/79-17-01)

and the item of noncompliance during this inspection (missed signoff on

Quality record). The inspector noted that other recordkeeping deficien-

cies were identified by the licensee during their audits.
