Management Interview

A management interview was held on May 19, 1972 and the following items

were discussed:

1. Faasse confirmed the inspector's understanding that B&W would

developed a procedure for the control of small parts and tools

during the repairs to the steam generators. He also agreed

that the general repair procedure for the Oconee Unit 1 steam

generator "A" would be revised to reflect the inspector's comments.

Smith agreed that DPC would audit the B&W Quality Assurance

Program for the repair and modification of the reactor coolant

system.

(See Section II, paragraph 4)

3.

Smith stated that the shift supervisor's log would be upgraded

to reflect the inspector's comments. This work will be completed

in approximately one month.

(See Section II, paragraph 5)

4.

Beam confirmed that isometric drawings used by construction will

be controlled by the document control procedure. Work necessary

to accomplish this will be completed within a month.

SECTION II

Prepared By:

C. E. Murphy, Reactor

Inspector (Testing

and Startup Unit)

ADDITIONAL SUBJECTS INSPECTED, NOT IDENTIFIED IN SECTION I, WHERE NO

DEFICIENCIES CR UNRESOLVED ITEMS WERE FOUND

1.

Repairs to Unit 1 Steam Cenerator A

B&W is preparing a full scale mock-up of t>e steam generator upper

head and tube sheet. Each weldor will take 1.is qualification

test on the mock-up. The test will require making ten tube to tube

sheet welds. The test pieces will be sectioned and penetrant

tested at twenty points. No indications will be permitted on the

test pieces.

2.

Unit 2 Main Steam Piping

The inspector reviewed the NDT records relating to welds Nos.

4-19 and 4-31- of the Unit 2 main steam piping. No deficiencies

were observed.

3.

Plant Schedule

DPC hopes to be able to establish a schedule for the fuel loading

for all three units within the coming week.

(At a meeting on

May 24, 1972, the inspector was advised that Unit 1 fuel would

be loaded starting December 1, 1972, and Unit 2 fuel would be

i

loaded starting January 1, 1973. Unit 3 would follow Unit 2 by

'

one year. These schedules are based upon the modifications to

the reactor coolant system components being ecmpleted without

unanticipated delays and the methods being acceptable to the

AEC.)

DETAILS OF SUBJECTS DISCUSSED IN SECTION I

4.

Repairs and Modification to the Reactor Coolant Systems

The inspector reviewed the Quality Assurance Program being developed

by B&W for the repairs and modifications to the three reactor

coolant systems. Faasse advised the inspector that the procedures

for the program were not completed at the time, but he could outline

RO Report Nos. 50-269/72-5

and 50-270/72-4

the details of the program as it was presently planned. One weakness

noted by the inspector was that B&W did not plan to have a procedure

for the control of small tools and parts. At one point in the

repair of the Unit 1 steam generator A (OTSG A) such a procedure

is extremely important since the secondary side of the tubes of

the OTSG A will be open to the primary side. Recovery of parts

dropped through these openings would be extremely difficult to

recover from the tube bundle area. Faasse agreed to develop a

procedure for the control of small tools and parts for use when

working in the steam generators.

The inspector also reviewed the " General Repair Procedure, Oconee 1,

OTSG A" dated April 21, 1972. Although this procedure had been

revised after this date there was no mechanism for determining

the revision number in use.

In addition the procedure did not

require a final penetranc test after welding. Faasee agreed to

correct these weaknesses.

The inspector expressed concern to Curtis that work was proceeding

on the repairs to the Unit 1 components, apparently without a

,

complete QA program. Curtis advised the inspector that although

DPC had not audited the B&W QA program, that such an audit would

be made within a month.

These items were discussed in the management interview and the in-

spector plans to review the progress made during the next inspection.

5.

Plant Logs

As a followup to the previous inspection, the inspector reviewed

the Shift Supervisor's Log, the Control Room Log, and the Work

Order Log. No progress had been made in upgrading the Shif t.

Supervisor's Log since the last inspection.

Smith advised the

inspector, however, that a Standing. Order (S0) was being prepared

that would establish requirements for.the Shift Supervisor's Log.

He stated that the S0 would be in effect within one month and

that the inspector'a previous comments would be incorporated.

In discussions with Hampton regarding the Station Work Orders.

Hampton agreed that the system was weak in that the possible

need for testing after completion of the work was not identified.

and 50-270/72-4

He and Smith agreed that when a Work Order request is approved,

the test requirements, if any, would be identified on the form.

Work would not be considered complete until the testing had been

accomplished.

These items were discussed in the management interview and the

inspector will review them during a future inspection.

6.

Isometric Drawings

During the review of the nondestructive test records relating

to the Unit 2 main steam piping, the inspector questioned Blaisdell

as to how his group knew to inspect a weld. Blaisdell stated

that the Mechanical Piping Section prepared isometric drawings

showing the location of each weld. Wald QC check lists were then

made up for each weld shown on the isometric and as required by

the type weld required. Typically these would include Form QC-37,

Heat Treating Records; QC-30, Radiographic Inspection Report;

Form QC-36, Field Weld Checkoff List. The inspector asked Blaisdell

if a mechanism existed to assure that his inspectors had the

latest revisions to the isometric drawings. Blaisdell answered

negatively stating that the isometrics were not covered by the

document control procedure. The inspector questioned Beam and

Freeze concerning the handling of revisions to the isometric

drawings and both agreed that the isometrics would be brought

under the document control procedure.

This item was discussed in the management interview and Beam

confirmed the agreement. The inspector plans to review the

progress during the next inspection.
