Unresolved Matters

~

!

Reactor Pressure Vessel and Steam Generator Restraints

During the inspection of November 29 - 30, 1972, the inspector observed

that ultrasonic tests are specified for some of the subject restraints

i

but not for others.

During the follow-up inspection, Mr. M. Stutsfield

of the Bechtel Washington, D.C. office was available and was questioned

in regard to this matter. He stated that the ultrasonic tests will be

performed at the construction site, instead of at the fabricator's

. plant. This matter is considered closed.

Storage of Class I Piping

[

The piping storage area.was inspected ,and coverings, which were

a hindrance to inspection and air circulation, have been~ removed.

'This matter is' considered closed.

' i

\\

2 .'

Primary Coolant Recirculation Piping Subassemblies

f

l

A manufacturer's data report for the above piping assemblies has

not been received from the NSS supplier. This matter will remain

open until the data report is received at the site.

'

'3.

Repaired ~ Primary Pump' Volute

~

,

A primary pump volute, which was damaged when it fell from the

transporting truck while enroute-from Byron-Jackson (B-J) to the

site, has been repaired and returned to the. site. The receiving

documentation for this pump was examined, on December 13, 1972,

and found to be in' order.' This matter is closed.

Tagging and Desiccant Indicators on Components from the NSS

Contractt.r (B&W)

(a)

The tags on certain. Class I components, stored outdoors,

'are not waterproof and legibility of information has been

adversely affected by sun and moisture.

(b)

The indicator used to indicate the moisture content within

sealed components has acquired a nondescriptive color.

This makes it difficult to determine the condition of the

atmosphere within the component and, thus, when the desic-

cant should be renewed. This matter remains open pending

,

satisfactory resolution.

i

5.

Valve Wall Thickness Measurements

,

i

The Toledo Edison Company (TECO) informed AEC Region III that

,

Class I valves, installed within the reactor coolant pressure

boundary which are over one inch in nominal size, will be veri-

fled as having met minimum wall thickness requirements. TECO

i

,

and B&W purchase specifiaations are being revised to include

!

a requirement for documentation that valves, in the above

!

category being delivered to the Davis-Besse site, meet minimum

'

wall thickness requirements of the specified codes and standards.

s

The inspector will exunine valve records on a continuing basis

[

to assure that these requirements are met.

B.

Matters discussed and comments on the part of management personnel

were as follows.

1.

The NSS supplier, B&W, is responsible for the nanufacture and

installation of primary recirculation piping subassemblies.

The inspector commented that these items are in " hold" status

because of the lack of a data report and should not be installed

until the required documentation is received onsite. The

licensee stated that he understood this requirement.

2.

The inspector stated that the application of UT tests did not

appear to be consistent for reactor vessel, steam generator,

and priaary pump structural supports. The licensee stated that

the applic ble Bechtel specification (No. C-508A) would be

reviewed to determine the need for corrective action.

3.

The inspector stated that he had examined several tags fixed

to components supplied by the NSS supplier (B&W; and found

['N

that water had penetrated the tag covers, adversely affecting

\\

)

the legibility of tag information.

The inspector also com-

mented that indicators provided for sealed components containing

desiccant had faded, apparently from exposure to the sun, such

that meaningful information cannot be provided.

The licensee

stated that they would initiate the necessary corrective action.

The inspector added that he would review the results.

4.

The inspector stated that the overall commitments to single

{

failure criterion, and provisions for electrical and physical

i

separation of redundant system cables, appe~ared to be satis-

l

factory. However, the inspector pointed out that details for

implementing these commitments, normally found in specifications

and design data, were apparently lacking in the following areas:

Minimum requirements for separation and protection of

a.

redur: dant system cables in potential fire and missile

areas.

b.

Provisions to avoid vertical stacking of redundant trays.

'

Provisions to prevent location o. jower' cables (above 150

c.

volts) in cable spreading, relay, and control rooms.

inspector stated that he did not consider this an unresolved

item but that his purpose in discussing it at this time was to

prevent possible future misunderstanding.

Items Discussed

i

The inspector stated that he had reviewed records and talked to

personnel at the Davis-Besse construction site concerning Class

/~'

I (Q listed) piping spools fabricated by Grinnell Corporation

(N)

(Grinnell) using unqualified personnel to perform tack welds in

violation of the ASME Code. He stated further that he had inspected

Grinnell piping in storage at the site and observed that some of the

subject piping was being installed in the plant. The inspector com-

mented that, contrary to the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix

B, and the TECO DA Manual, the subject piping had not been segregated

or identified, although it was known that all or part of the piping

was in nonconformance with specifications.

In addition, a noncon-

{

'

formance report had no.c been issued.

!

i

t

The inspector added that, although TECO had notified RO:III of this

'

problem on October 6, 1972, a written report had not been submitted

j

as required by 10 CFR Part 50.55(e).

,

The inspector stated that these matters would be brought to the

attention of corporate management by enclosure to the letter sum-

marizing the results of the inspection.

Results of Inspection

1.

Valve Wall Thickness Measurements

TECO has audited several valve vendors with regard to valve wall

.

thickness measuring techniques.

The Powell Valve Com 2ny (Powell)

normally checks wall thickness by mechanical measurement but, if

}

this is not practicable, then by ultrasonics. Audits were also

made of Velan, Rockwell, and Crosby who, according to the licensee,

implement proceae es similar to those used by Powell.

2.

Cless I Piping with Welds Containing Tacks Made by Unqualified

Personnel

Class I (Q listed) piping is being fabricated for the Davia-Besse

facility by Grinnell at their Kernersville, North Carolina, plant.

Portions of the piping was found, by the Bechtel shop inspector,

to have been. tack welded (during fitup) by unqualified personnel

'

. contrary to the requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure Code,

Section III, Nuclear Power Plant Components.

Information in regard to this matter is listed below:

v

TECO personnel' were informed of the matter by' copy 'of a letter

a.

dated September 8,1972, from Bechtel to the Grinnell Kernersville

plant manager.

'-

b.

A TECO QA engineer made a trip to the Grinnell plant on

September 18 - 19, 1972, to investigate the matter and to

'

participate in a Bechtel audit of the plant.

i

TECO personnel were notified by a Bechtel letter dated

c.

September.20, 1972, that some of the piping, tack welded by

-

unqualified personnel at Grinnell, had been shipped to the

Davis-Besse site.

!

d.

TECO notified RO:III of the problem by telephone on October 6,

'

1972 (R0 Inquiry Report No. 50-346/72-03Q).

t

l

Only ASME Class II and Class III piping is involved.

No ASME

e.

Class I is involved.

f.

About 433 " spools" of Q-listed, ASME Class II and Class III

piping has been received at the Davis-Besse site from Grinnell.

Some of the spools (exact number apparently unknown) were tack

welded by unqualified personnel.

O\\

(

l

g.

The documentation at the Davis-Besse site, relative to the 433

' ' '

spools of piping, indicate that all the piping meets the

requirements of the ASME Code. The records do not contain

information concerning the tack welding.

h.

The Grinnell piping, although known to have welds containing

" tacks" made by unqualified personnel, was not segregated or

l-

otherwise identified as nonconforming.

1.

A letter from TECO to Bechtel dated October 6, 1972, established

TECO's criteria for acceptance of the piping tack welded by

unqualified personnel. The acceptance criteria included:

(1)

Retroactive qualificar'cn of the personnel involved.

(2)

Reexamination of radiograph film for ASME Class II pipe

welds for defects arising from tacks.

(Code requires

100% radiography of Class II piping welds.)

For the ASME Class III pipe, four welds minimum from two

spools to be 100% radiographed for each unqualified welder.

~

If the welder is no longer employed, then 100% of his

welds to be radiographed.

(The code does not require

Class III pipe welds to be radiographed.)

(4)

The Grinnell QA program to be revised to prevent recurrence

of the nonconformance.

i

'

During the inspection, it could not be clearly established that

!

the piping onsite met TECO's acceptance criteria or if the NDT

I

stamp was valid.

j.

TECO QA personnel verbally requested Bechtel not to install

.

Grinnell shop fabricated ASME Class III piping in concrete

embedments, unless the piping had been 100% radiographed.

,

The request was documented by a TECO internal memo dated

October 6,1972.

,

The licensee was informed that it appeared that the quality and con-

formance to specifications of the subject piping had not been clearly

established and that failure to segregate, or otherwise identify the

piping, was in violation of the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50,

Appendix B, Criterion XV.

The licensee was also informed that it

appeared this matter should have been reported under the requirements

O

of 10 CFR Part 50.55(e) .

The inspector stated that these matters would be brought to the

attention of corporate management by enclosure to the letter sum-

marizing the results of the inspection.

The licensee, construction manager, and electrical contractor

organization structures were reviewed with respect to both line

and quality control organizations for procurement, receiving,

installation, and testing of electrical components and equipment

(including cables) and appeared to conform to the licensee's-

commitments, as well as 10 CFR-Part 50, Appendix B.

Bechtel is the architect engineer and construction manager for

the Davis-Besse facility.

Bechtel prepares purchase and instal-

lation specifications for all Class I electrical components and

The electrical contractor, F&M, and Colgan Electric Company,

Incorporated,* has storage, installation, and most testing

responsibilities but will procure and receive some Class I

electrical components, such as cable trays, conduit, supports,

fittings, etc.

'

F&M will have a site quality control group consisting initially

of three inspectors and a manager. Additional inspectors will

be added as required.

F&M also has an offsite QA group who will

perform periodic audits of site activities. Bechtel and TECO

'

site QA personnel will also audit electrical work (including

work performed by vendors) .

In addition, Bechtel site QC

,

engineers will perform routine inspections of receipt, storage,

installation, and testing of electrical components and equipment.

l

Audit and inspection results will be documented.

In response to questioning, the licensee's representative

stated- that he had discussed this matter with the Bechtel

project engineer who assured him that the Davis-Besse PSAR

commitments would be met but that no further elaboration

it

ofl design criteria was plannad beyond'that provided in

.responee-to "L" question No. 7.5.

This is not considered

-

an open item, but future inspections will be made in these

areas in terms of the basic commitments stated above.

(2) ~ Two electrical cable purchase specifications for Class I-E

l

cable were reviewed for inspection and testing provisions

'

(Bechtel Specification No. 7749-E-13, Revision 1, June 14,

1972, medium voltage cable, and Bechtel. Specification No.

-

and control cable). .These specifications adequately cover

l

provisions for testing and QC procedures (inspections and

recordc). Prototype tests include radiation resistance,

'

- flame resistance, and physical tests. Production tests

,

include high voltage, insulation, power factor, corona,

,

F-M will install (but will not terminate) cables to instru' -

ment components in the field or to terminal strips in analog,

logic, and control room panels. The instrument installation

contractor is to make these terminations.

Electrical terminations made in switchgear cabinets, MCC's,

etc., will use crimp type connectors. A locking type

crimping tool will be used to assure proper connections.

Design review is still in progress regarding routing of DC

power cables to analog, logic, and control room panels.

It is a policy of Bechtel not to allow cable splicing in

trays.

If splicing is unavoidable, authorization in

advance must be made by the Be:htel construction manager.

Electrical system design will be based on:

(1) relevant

ANSI, NEC, NEMA, and IEEE recommendations, (2) a require-

ment for electrical and physical separation of cable and

equipment associated with redundant elements of engineered

safety features, and (3) a requirement that no single

component failure will prevent operation of required

engineered safety features.

Review of QC System

Grinnell work and QC procedures related to weld rod control were

reviewed.

Procedures for storage (before use and at the work site)

issue control, and disposal of unused rod were found to be adequate.

)

(Grinnell colors all weld rod ends green to aid in identifying

Grinnell rod at the construction site.)

Reactor Pressure Vessel

a.

Handling and lifting procedures will be used by B&W for any lift

over 50 tons.

Lifting equipment will be proof tested and steel

billets will be used for these tests. The steam generators and

the reactor pressure vessel will be lifted with the same equip-

ment.

b.

In-service inspection of the reactor pressure vessel will be

performed by Southwest Research Institute.

Base line inspection

1

will be performed by B&W Nuclear Steam Supply from Lynchburg,

Virginia,

Quality Control System

.

-All welders will be hired locally but are to'lut qualified by

B&W personnel from Copley, Ohio. All test materials will be

supplied-from the Copley Plant. Nondestructive test services

will be performed by personnel from the Copley Plant.

d.

The approved Quality Control Manual from B&W is onsite.

Reactor Pressure Vessel Supports, Steam Generator Supports,

and Pipe Restraints on Main Recirculation Piping

Bechtel Specifications C-48 and C-48A govern with respect to NDT

i

of the subject items. Due to scheduling requirements, steam

generator supports No. 349-3 and No. 349-4 will be returned to

the site from P-X Engineering and required NDT is to be completed

-

by B&W.

The reactor pressure vessel supports, supplied by P-X Engineering,

have been accepted and are in place. The RPV pipe whip restraints

are still in the P-X Engineering Shop pending completion of RT of

butt welds and UT of fillet welds.

L. A. Bentley & Son are to complete-one hot leg restraint, with

full radiography of all~ butt welds.

,

)

Qualification of L. A. Bentley welders will be handled by Pittsburgh

Testing Laboratory.

Nondestructive testing for production welding performed by L. A.

Bentley will be handled by Testmaster.

- The L. A. Bentley weld procedure was qualified to AWS D.2.0.69

.

and approved by TECO'on September 22, 1972.

The coolant pump support frames are being produced by CB&I instead

of P-X Engineering. Qualified procedures, welders, and NDT will

be furnished by CB&I.
