tion and inspection program including observation of work and conditions

of hardware; review of work and inspection procedures, and review of per-

soneel training and document control records. The inspection involved a

tcLal of 17 inspector-hours. on site by one NRC inspector.

Resuts: Of the areas inspected, two apparent items of noncomplieice were

Functional or Program Areas Inspected

1.

Observation of Work and Conditions

Very few Bergen-Paterson supplied Pacific Scientific Company

a.

(PSC) mechanical snubbers (less than 60) have been installed.

The inspector observed approximately 20 installed and 10

stored in the warehouse ar.d considered the conditions accept-

able. Very few spring haugers and rigid struts have been

installed. The conditions observed appeared acceptable. How-

ever, the snubbers and rigid struts installed on the positive

displacement charging pump pulsation damper tank SBG 05-112

were without proper connection pins. The licensee stated tha

a purchase order for the correct pin shafts will be placed a.l-

the design requirement relative to the spacer-washers for ball

bushings will be reviewed. This is an unresolved item (483/

80-09-01).

b.

Deficiencies relative to concrete expansion achor bolt locations,

bolt patterns, and component support-structural weld attachments

to plates were identified. Specific items included:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___

.

(1) Post Pour Embed Installation Form (PEIF) No. 2930, 8 bolt

-

horizontally placed rectangular wall plate, where hanger

EG17-H002 was attached.

(2) PEIF No. 2773, 8 bolt vertically placed rectangular wall

plate.

(3) PEIF No. 2932, 4 bolt square wall plate, where EG17 C004

was attached.

Deficiencies incltded:

The bolt locations exceeded the requirements established in

.

Drawing C-0037(Q), " Civil-Structural Standard Details, Sheet

34", Revision 10 requirement, which states in Note 3.B that

" Bolts and expansion anchors may be relocated a maximum of

3" from the location shown .

"

..

The weld attachments were not within the bolt pattern ar-

.

rangements per Bechtel Drawing C-0003, " Civil-Structural,

Structural Steel and Concrete General Notes" Revision 19,

General Note e, which states .

"the center of the total

..

weld area for the attachment of each hanger, support, or

restraint on the face of the embedded plates, where prac-

ticable, shall be within the middle one-third of the width

and length of square plate," and "The center of the total

weld area for the attachment of each hanger, support, or

restraint on the face of surface mounted plates shall be

within the same area allowed for the embedded plates they

replace, considering che center of the bolt pattern as the

center of the plate.

In addition to the above deficiencies, the responsible personnel

failed to record and report these problems per Drawing C-0003,

Note 7 requirement which state, "When the requirement of Note 6

above is impractical, a field sketch identifying the plata, shape,

and size of the attachments, location of the attachment on the

plate, and identification shall be recorded by the constructor.

The field sketches, thus prepared, shall be forwarded to Bechtel

for review in reasonably small lots."

Failure to comply with the design instructions is an item of non-

compliance identified in Appendix A (483/80-09-02).

Except as noted, no ite'ms of noncompliance or deviations were

identified.

2.

Review of Specifications and Procedures

The following documents were reviewed by the inspector:

Bechtel Specification No. 10466-M-204 (Q), " Specification for the

Field Fabrication and Installation of Piping and Pipe Supports to

l

1

-3-

O

ASME Section III for the Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant System

(SNUPPS)," Revision 21, dated November 30, 1979.

Bechtel Specification No. 10466-C-103A(Q), " Installation of Concrete

Expansion Anchor Bolts," Revision 4, dated March 28, 1979.

DIC Procedure WP-100, " Installation of Post-Pour Embedded Items,"

Revision 6, dated March 7, 1980.

DIC Procedure WP-200, " Field Fabrication and Installation of Piping

and Component Supports," Revision 9, dated December 28, 1979.

DIC Procedure WP-205, " Preparation and Processing of Travelers,"

Revision 8, dated October 31, 1979.

DIC Procedure QCP-200, " Inspection of Fabrication and Installation of

Piping and Component Supports," Revision 6, dated February 25, 1980.

DIC Procedure AP-XIII-07, " Employee Training Program," Revision 0,

dated August 30, 1978.

Review Findings:

DIC Procedure WP-200 did not include the manufacturer's specific

a.

component support installation and torquing requirements, and did

not indicate Bechtel's specified tolerance and clearance require-

ments.

DIC Procedure QCP-200 did not include an inspection checklist

item for verification of location and configuration of installed

componenent support structure and attachment assemblies.

The licensee's "QA Report of the February, 1980 Audit of DIC,"

dated February 25 - March 7, 1980, Open/ Unresolved Items 2/80-A

and 2/80-01 identified the above problems. An interim change to

WP-200, including special instruction FS-M-5333, " Installation

of Component Supports," was being prepared by DIC. Followup

review of the revised procedures will be performed by the in-

spector. This is an unresolved item (483/80-09-03).

b.

.0

this review of the overall inspection status, the inspec-

te

'ientified that none of the installed hangers, restraints,

'4;id struts, or snubbers had been QC inspected. Some verifica-

tion of component locations had been performed by the field

engineers. ?IC Procedure WP-200 requirements, state in Paragraph

3.4.2 that "After a component support is erected, the Construction

Superintendent shall notify the responsible piping engineer that

the support is ready for engineering inspection. The Piping

Engineer shall inspect the component for correct location, and if

acceptable, shall notify Quality Control that component is ready

for final Quality Control inspection."

.

The inspector stated that:

(1) inspection checklist requirements

were deficient as discussed in paragraph 2 above, (2) a field

engineer's preliminary inspection cannot replace the Quality Con-

trol final inspection after component installation, and (3) the

present Quality Control inspection just before piping system

turnover for testing was unacceptable as this would not assure

the prompt identification and correction of conditions adverse

to quality.

The lack of a requirement for timely inspection subsequent to

installation is an item of noncompliance identified in Appendix

A (483/80-09-04).

3.

Review of Training Records

Training records for the personnel conducting installation of safety-

related piping and equipment component support were reviewed by the

inspector. The training was conducted in accordance with DIC Procedure

AP-XIII-07 requirements.

Documents reviewed included:

CM-920, dated February 12, 1979

PPE-647, dated March 13, 1979

CM-1036, dated September 17, 1979

SAE-099, dated March 9, 1979

SAE-123, dated April 6, 1979

SAE-151, dated May 14, 1979

SAE-192, dated July 16, 1979

'

SAE-185, dated July 5, 1979

The inspector stated that he had no adverse comments after the review.

4.

Inspection of Site Document Control

During the course of observing work activities, the following drawing

numbers were obtained at one of the work locations:

C-0037 (Q), Revision 10

C-0C2211 (Q), Revision 11

C-0C2311 (Q), Revision 13

<

l

C-0C2312 (Q), Revision 5

These numbers were verified at the site document control center to

be the latest Bechtel design revisions. However, at* the second work

location, the C-0037 (Q), Revision 10, was not there; instead a

l

C-0037 (Q), Revision 9, marked " void" with the title block torn off

was retained in the drawing file.

In subsequent discussion with the

licensee engineer, the inspector stated that the provision for

the worker to retain the superseded drawings is documented in DIC

-

Procedure AP-X-03, " Document Control," Revision 5, dated October 3,

1978, Paragraph 4.7.11.

However, he was not sure whether or or not

l

.

the responsible personnel understands that he is still required to

obtain the up-to-date drawing for performing the work. This is con-

sidered an unresolved item (483/80-09-05).

Unresolved Items

Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required in

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

ance, or deviations. Three unresolved items disclosed during this inspec-

tion are discussed in paragraphs 1.a, 2.a, and 4.

Exit Interview

'The inspector met with the licensee representatives (denoted under Persons

Contacted) at the conclusion of the inspection. The inspector summarized

the purpose and findings of the inspection. The licensee acknowledged the

findings reported herein.
