fl0TICE OF VIOLATIOf{
u Docket ilos. 50-508, 50-509 Washington Public Power Supply System Construction Permit tios.
P. O. Box 1223 CPPR-154, 155 Elma, Washington 98541 As a result of the inspection conducted on April 13-23,1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,1980),
five apparent items of noncompliance were identified. The inspection revealed that certain activitics performed by your contractors did not conform to the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, as described in Section 17 of your PSAR (as modified by PSAR Deviations flos. WP25 and 26).
S v
pecifically, the items identified below had not been identified or corrected.
" Measures 10 CFR 50, Appendix B,' Criterion VI, states, in part:
A.
shall be established to control the issuance of documents, such as instructions, procedures, and drawings, including changes thereto, which prescribe all ac'tivities affecting quality. These measures shall assure that docu'ments, including changes...are distributed to and used at the locati;on 'where the prescribed activity is performed...."
Paragraph 17.2.6 of the Quality Assurance Program states, in part:
"... Approved changes are promptly included where applicable into instructions, procedures,' drawings, and other appropriate doc-~*
uments... Obsolete or superseded documents are controlled to prevent inadvertent use...."
~
Contrary to the above, as of April 16, 1981, the Ebasco Site Support Engineering (ESSE) Group had not established measures to assure p'
Seven that approved changes to documents are distributed and used.
drawings were identified in ESSE controlled file tio. R-15 which did
[
not include approved changes that applied to these drawings (WPPSS/Ebasco drawings 3240-G-2520-S1; 2520-52; 2521; 2539; 2550; 1300-4; and
'^
1325).
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement II), applicable to Units 3 and 5.

Appendix A,
Paragraph 17.1.5 of the Quality Assurance Program states, in part:
"... Contractors and vendors, ini:luding Ebasco and CE, are required to have written instructions, procedures, policies, and/or drawings which govern their quality related activites...."
1.
Specification fio. 3240-412, (Formed Concrete Construction),
paragraph 5.02, specifying quality related requirements for placing and field bending reinforcing steel, states, in part.
"...Rebar shall be cold bent using proper bar bending equipment and the diameter of the bend measured on the inside of the bar shall not be less than the following...:
N T.
[
Bar-Size Minimum Diameters v
l i
llos. 3 thru 8 6 bar diameters ilos. 9, 10, 11 8 bar diameters..."
l Contrary to these governing instructions, on April 22, 1981, the reinforcing bar bending equipment, utilized by Morrison-i Knudsen for field bending of safety related reinforcing steel, N
had bending pin sizes which resulted in a bc.nd inside diameter smaller than those required by the specification, for bar
'{
sizes 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 11:
by about 1.3 bar diameters for flo. 4 bar; 2.24 bar diameters for fio. 5 bar; 1.9 bar diameter for flo. 6 bar; 1.25 bar diameters for flo. 8 bar; 3 bar diameters for fio.10 bar; and 3 bar diameters for fio.11 bar.
11 This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement II), applicable to Units 3 and 5.
2.
Morrison-Knudsen Administrative Instruction Procedure fiumber 15,
~
" Stud Welding Inspection Procedure," includes quality test instructions which state in paragraph 6.3 that, "Each operato5 shall bend the first two studs on each day's production to 30 o
and the first two studs on each member to 30."
i Contrary to the above, on April 15, 1981, on the south side of Unit 3 elevation 417', the inspector observed that a stud welding operator welding on a member (fiumber D1338) had welded twenty-four studs without bending the first two studs.
This repeat violation is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement II),
applicable to Unit 3.
3.
Ebasco drawing flo. 3240-G-3357 which governs structural steel I
beam fabrication shows that stiffener plates are coped or clipped at the beam web and flange intersections and that m.

fillet welds teminate at the coped edge of the stiffener t

I Contrary to the above, on April 20, 1981, most of the stiffener plate welds on structural beams Nos. D1190, D35A, D63A, D648, F18B, F69F, F118, A25B, 318A, 3088, at a site storage area, did not teminate at the coped edge of the stiffener plates, j
but continued through the coped areas.
These beams had been previously inspected at the fabrication shops and accepted.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement II), applicable
,y to Units 3 and 5.

Administrative Site Procedure ASP-CM-4-17 Revision 0 (entitled i
" Care and Issue of Measuring and Testing Equipment"), in effect from March 20, 1980, to March 3,1981, and Project Site Procedure PSP-Mit-11-9, Revision 0 (Interim) (entitled " Care and Issue of Measuring and Test Equipment"), in effect since I
flarch 3,19S1, provide detail instructions on the care, handling, I
and issuance of calibrated equipment used to perform quality l
checks.
Both of these procedures state, in part, "...At no L
time is measuring and test equipment to be issued when any damage is suspected...."
i i
Contrary to the above, calibrated torque wrench (Serial No. 33741) was returned to the calibration storage area on December 22, 1980, i
sa with a written statement indicating it was damaged, requiring repair. On March 6,1981, the wrench had not been repaired but was issued for use and was used to check the torque of bolts on a reactor coolant pump motor support. As of April 16, 1981, i
j the wrench torque puge still had a broken glass and bent indicating needle.
T This is a Severity Level VI Violation (Supplement II), applicable
! ?
to Unit 3.

N SIGNIFICANT OBSERVATIONS Washington Public power Supply System Docket Nos. 50-508, 50-509 I
P. O. Box 1223 License Nos. CPPR-154, 4
Elma, Washington 98541 CPPR-155 4
As a result of the inspection conducted on April 13-23, 1981, the following significant c5servations were identified in the implementation of your r-design and construction program.
Further information on these items is included in detail paragraphs lla-d of IE Inspection Report No. 50-508/509/80-08.
I s
yp A.
Procedures 1
q Site contractor's quality implementing procedures require improvement.
Actions to assure complete and workable contractor's procedures have not been fully effective.
This observation is reinforced by the follcwing:
\\
\\
1.
The Morrison-Knudsen procedure for field fabrication of N
s reinforcing steel does not implement the technical, requirements
,N-for minin.um bend diameter.
N 2.
A recently approved revision to the Morrison-Knudsen contract
\\
allows Ebasco Construction Management to provide the contractor technical direction in quality affecting activities without
\\
\\p rJ appropriate controls to assure compliance with the quality program.
3.
Implementing procedures used by J. A. Jones do not consistently '
j include or invoke specification requirements.
e 4.
The J. A. Jones structural welding procedure is not in accordance 5
with nomal weld procedure practice and depends heavily on the s
, p welder's and inspector's knowledge of the welding code.
1
(
5.
The J. A. Jones procedure for verification of concrete curing l has not been amended to reflect construction / inspection practices.

6.
Other examples of weak procedures are discussed in paragraph 11.a4
)
B.
Receiving Inspection
\\
The system ut'lized by the Licensee and Ebasco for on-site, receipt inspection of safety-related items and components does not include confomance to engineering specifications.

Appendix 0 C.
Organization and Quality Assurance Program Significant changes have been made in the Licensee's corporate and site organizational :,tructures. These changes were not reflected in the PSAR and implementing corporate quality assurance program manuals in a timely manner. While interim documents have now been issued, the time allotted to finalize all the documents appears excessive.
D.
Records There is a large backlog of quality records which have been submitted I
by contractors for review by the construction manager (Ebasco).
