Contrary to the above:

Instructions and procedures provided for securing the Class IE Battery Chargers to the building structure are inappropriate to the circumstance in that eight three-eights inch fillet welds were required:

It is impossible to achieve the required fillet weld size for four of these weld locations because the material thickness is less than.200 inches.

The documents containing instructions inappropriate to the circumstance were Design Change Authorization 3380; Power Conversion Products, ~.c.

Drawing D-55-1539; and " Analysis of Anchoring Method of 3SD-130-3Co Battery Charger." These documents were verified by the RRI during a review on January 18, 1980.

The Resident Reactor Inspector verified by dirt 4t examination of ::wo of tF-four Unit No. 1 Battery Chargers that the materials shown in the Power Conversion Products drawing referenced above was what was actual]y furnished and that the four welds do not conform to the required thickness for a three-eights inch fillet weld.

The Resident Reactor Inspector also established that the welding was accepted by site Quality Control on January 10, 1980, as documen:ed in Inspection Report IR-E-5724 even though the welds could not be made in the manner required.
