.'(5) LPurchase' Order, Receiving Inspection Report, and' Material

Certification for E7018 welding rods with lot No. 02-1-D902R

and heat No. 402H9361, lot No. 02-2-C802P and heat No.

432B5961,. lot No. 02-2-B827P and heat No. 53119, E70S-2

welding rods with heats No. 065304, No. 065150, and No. 065163.

It.was determined that the above documents met the PSAR, 10 CFR

'50, Appendix B, and the applicable code requirements.

b.

Control of Materials

The inspector toured the weld rod issuing station located at the

Turbine Room and the trailer.

It was determined that (1) the

welding materials are properly identified and segregated; (2)

- the temperature of the rod ovens is maintained; (3) records are

-properly kept and (4) issuance and return of welding materials

are controlled in accordance with the approved procedure.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

2.

Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping - Observation of Welding

Activities

The inspector observed the following welding activities:

Reactor Coolant System Weld No. 2-BB-01-F204 on drawing No.

a.

M-03-BB01.

b.

Reactor Coolant System Weld No. 2-BB-01-F404 on drawing No.

M-03-BB01.

Reactor Coolant System Weld No. 2-BB-01-F302 on drawing No.

j

c.

M-03-BB01.

It was determined that (1) work was conducted in accordance with

l

traveler- (2) proper welding materials were used; (3) welding pro-

cedure requirements were met;-(4) work area was' free of weld rod-stubs;

(5) physical appearance was acceptable and (6) the welder welding on

,

weld No. 2-BB-01-F404 had some of the welding rod in a welding rod

l

pouch. .The condition is an item of noncompliance identified in

Appendix A.

(483/80-02-01)

i

Except as_noted, no items of noncompliance or deviations were

identified.

3.

Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping - Observation of Work and

Work Activities

i

The-inspector observed ti.e fitting up and alignment of Reactor Coolant

System Weld No. 2-BB-01-F305 on drawing No. M-03-BB01.

It was deter--

mined that work activities were performed in accordance with the.

,

applicable procedures and good construction practices were adhered

to.

'

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

4.

Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping - Visual Examination of Welds

a.

. Visual Examination

The inspector visually examined the following completed welds:

(1) The outside surface of the Reactor Coolant System Welds

-No. 2-BB-01-F202, No. 2-BB-01-F203 and No. 2-BB-01-F303 on

drawing No. M-03-BB01.

(2) The inside surface of the Reactor Coolant System loop 4,

weld No. 2 on drawing No. 26215-SCP, sheet 10.

It was detetmined that (1) weld surface finish and appearance

were acceptable and there was no evidence of wall thinning d.ae

to grinding; (2) are strikes and weld spatter were not evidence

and (3) there is some form of a linear indication on the inside

surface of loop 4, weld No. 2.

The indication is located at

approximately 9 o' clock to 1 o' clock when looking out from the

inside of the Reactor Vessel. The inspector also reviewed the

radiographic films and the liquid penetrant report but neither

the films nor the report showed the indication. The inspector

stated that this matter is considered unresolved pending a

review of a disposition report from Westinghouse and a written

acceptance of Westinghouse's disposition from the licensee.

b.

Review of Records

,

,

The inspector reviewed Weld Control Record of the Reactor

'

Coolant System Welds No. 2-BB-01-F202, No. 2-BB-01-F203 and

No. 2-BB-01-F303 on drawing No. M-03-BB01.

It was determined that (1)-the records indicated specified inspec-

tions were completed; (2) records are clear and legible and (3) purge

' dam removal, visual examination, and NDE have not been performed.

'

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

" Welding of Stainless Steel" and determined that preheating and

monitoring methods are specified and acceptable.

b.

Observation of Preheating

While observing welding activities for items stated in Paragraph

2 of this report,.the inspector determined that preheat met the

procedure requirements.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

6.

Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping - Welder Qualification

The inspector reviewed the following documents:

a.

DIC Procedure No. WP-502,. Revision 8, " Qualification of Welders."

b.

Randomly selected the qualification record of six welders who

performed welding on welds stated in paragraph 2 of this report.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

7.

the drawing.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

Unresolved Items

Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required in

order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, items of noncompliance,

or diviation.
