CONTRACT N0. NRC-05-80-251 TASK ORDER NO. 2 1.
Scope of Work:
Provide NRC-IE assistance as a technical consultant in the review of 1) concrete deficiencies, known as "honeycombing," found at the Marble Hill facility through visual observation, 2) the program to determine if internal voids exist, 3) the repair procedures, 4) the completed repairs, and 5) the evaluation of the affected structures to determine whether they meet the original design intent.
The effort will involve a review of the techniques used to locate voids, discontinuities, etc., to determine if all significant deficiencies have in all probability been detect'd.
These techniques included coring and e
pulse echo.
The repair procedures ano' repairs made as a result of the findings of the investigations are also to be reviewed for adequacy.
The main basis of the consultant's review effort will be the report submi.tted by the licensee and its references as prepared by Sargent &
Lundy, Report SL-3753,11/20/79, " Evaluation of In-Place Concrete, Marble Hill Generating Station, Units 1 and 2," dated November 20, 1979.
2.
Objectives of Tasks:
a.
To provide an independent assessment of the type and extent of deficiencies in concrete construction, defined as honeycombing, and/or voids that could have safety significance; b.
to provide an independent assessment of any needed repairs or remedial actions; i:.
to provide ' independent conclusions regarding the capability of the affected structures to perform the intended' design functions.
3.
Statement of Work:
a.
Determine that any structurally significant hcneycombing and/or voids visually detectable have been located and identified.
b.
Evaluate the need for and adequacy of the nondestructive techniques used by the licensee in the investigation of possible internal voids.
If other' techniques or additional investigation are necessary to assure structural adequt y, recommendations should be provided.
This evaluation and any necessary recommendations should consider sample location and size.
c.
Review and evaluate the repair procedures the licensee has used or plans to use to correct deficiencies which have safety significance.
If other techniques are more advantageous or
. will result in better assurance of restoration of the structure, f
recommendations should be provided.
- t. f 2
d.
. Review and evaluate typical areas requiring repair, if any, to determine whether procedures are or have been followed.
If any repaired areas are subject to question, recommendations for additional investigation or repair are to be provided.
e.
Utilize the facts and engineering experience to evaluate the adequacy of the affected structures to meet the safety requirements defined in the original design criteria or any revised criteria as approved by the NRC.
f.
In the cou.se of completing Items a-e above, it is to be understood that travel may be necessary to make observations in the field at the Marble Hill site, to meet with the licensee and his. consultants, and to meet with the NRC.
It is also possible that the effort may include providing expert testimony in public hearings and/or providing responses to Congressional committees.
NRC representatives will accompany consultants.
