o INTERIM REFORT OF SIGNIFICANT CONSTRUCTION DEFICIENCY NO. 78 AMERICAN BRIDGE REACTOR AUXILIARY BUILDING AND FUEL HANDLING BUILDING BOLTING AND WELDING DEFICIENCIES INTRODUCTION This report is submitted pursuant to 10CFR50.55(e). This report describes RAB, FHB bolting and welding deficiencies. This problem is considered reportable under the requirements of 10CFR50.55(e) .

To the best of our knowledge it has not been reported pursuant to 10CFR21.

DESCRIPTION Ebasco record review and surveillance inspection of American Bridge bolting and welding in the Reactor Auxiliary Building (RAB) and Fuel Handling Building (FHB) revealed insufficient documentation to cover work performed by American Bridge.

Ongoing field inspection results are expected to be evaluated by Ebasco Engineer-ing within the next 60 days. (American Bridge demobitized from site in 1981).

SAFETY IMPLICATIONS Some of the bolting and welding documentation missing is on structural steel in safety related systems. Reinspection will be required before Engineering can determine if degradation would occur on the safety systems involved.

CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN Nonconformance Reports have been issued to track and document deficiencies in the RAB and FHB. An update or final report will be submitted June 30, 1983.
