Appendix A NOTICE OF VIOLATION The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Docket No.'50-440 Cc:pany Docket No. 50-441 Based on thr: results of an NRC inspection conducted in October 1-31, 1980 it' appears;that certain of your activities were not conducted in full co:plianer. with NRC requirements.. This item is an infraction.

10CTHFD, Appendix B, Criterion IX (Control of Special Processes) and PNPP PSAR Chapter 17, Section 17.1.9.6, requires that the contractor...estab-lish controls over special processes for all safety class equipment.and structures.

As a minimum, the, procedures will identify equipment, prepar-ation, para. meters, processing details, etc.

CEI Specification for Installation of Safety Class Piping - Group 1, spec. no. SP-44-4549-00 revision 1, Section 2:04.10 states that " piping shall be in proper alignment before connections are made.

No piping shall i

be " cold sprung" or prectressed unless it is so indicated on the Engineer's Drawings".

4 Contrary to the above, on October 23, 1980, the inspector observed fabri-cated spool pieces nos. 1-E15-32 and 1-E15-33 were being cold pulled into position.

See paragraph 2 of this report for details.

Licensee Action en Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Unresolved Item (440/79-01-01; 441/79-01-01):

CEI Quality Engineer-ing QA audit to verify the validity of General Electric (GE) Product Quality Checklist (PQC). The inspector reviewed CEI's audit report No. 300.545.1100, dated December 4, 5, and 6, 1979. The scope of the audit included:

seismic and environmental qualification documentation for the Emergency Core Cooling Systems Motors Standby Liquid Control System Motors, and Main Steam Isolation Valves Leakage Control Blower Motors.

With regard to test plans and quali-fication documentation for the H13 panels, electrical components, control room, and GE procured electrical equipment, the development of the test plans is behind schedule and none were available for revies by the audit team. The Resident Inspector (RI) will continue to monitor this area.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (440/80-02-01; 441/80-02-01): Housekeeping /

industrial safety concerns. The RI observed the cleanliness and safety throughout the plant and determined that it was satisfactory.

Interviews with the safety officer and contractor craftsmen indicated that there was an indoctrination training prograw for all new personnel. The inspector observed the availability of contractor QC inspectors in the welding areas and determined that this area is satisfactory.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (440/80-16-02; 441/E0-15-02):

Failure to docus.cnt in process inspection of deturring (reaming) activities during the installa-t ion of field cut conduit prior to May,1980. The inspector reviewed L. K. Comstock (LKC) Inspection Report No. 123 dated September 19; 1980.

LKC inspected conduit installed prior to May 15, 1980, per LKC QA/QC Pro-cedure 4.3.1, titled, " Cable Tray and Conduit Installation", and per conduit installation drawings D-215-111-F and D-215-08t:-G.

The RI has no further questions on this matter at this time.

Functional or Program Areas Inspected 1.

P'. ant Tours, Units 1 and 2 One or more plant areas were toured several times each week during this reporting period to observe general construction practices, area cleanliness, and storage / maintenance. conditions of equipment, piping, conduit, an cable trays.

d No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

2.

Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping - Observation of Velding Activities Unit I a.

The inspector observed welding of the Reactor Recirculation System Veld No. B33-1-B11 on traveller No. TI-B33-011.

It was determined that (1) work was conducted in accordance with traveller; (2) proper welding materials were used; (3) welding procedure requirements were met; (4) work area was free of weld rod stubs; and (5) physical appearance was acceptable.

b.

The following welds were ccmplete or partially completed; B-33-1-A6 is complete, B33-1-A7 completed and needs a final visual examination, B33-1-B7 comple.ted and needs a final visual examination, B33-1-A10

,is complete and needs an RT and visual examination, B33-1-A4 and B33-1-B4 are partially complete.

The RI will continue to monitor the welding activities and review the final documentation of the above mentioned welds, c.

The inspector toured the 1&SE welding material issuing station located at the Intermediate Building.

It was determined that (1) the welding materials are properly identified and segregated; (2) the temperature of rod ovens is maintained; (3) calibrations af temperature gauges are current; (4) records are properly kept; and (5) issuance and return of welding materials are controlled in accordance with approved procedures.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

i 3.

Installation of Safetv-Related Penetrations The RI observed work activities including handling, protection, inspec-tion, and welding of safety-related penetrations.

a.

The inspector observed the in process welding of penetration P-103, LPCS pump' suction, in accordance with Drawing B312-631, Revision D.

b.

The inspector reviewed the field weld process sheet.

c.

During this reporting period, the inspector reviewed NDE quali-fication records for two liquid penetrant inspectors (Pullman),

to verify that their qualifications were current.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

4.

Observation of Safety-Related Piping Welding Activities Unit 1 The inspector observed, on October 23, 1980, that fabricated spool pieces Nos. 1-E15-32 and 1-E15-33 were being cold pulled into position with a 2 1/2 ton "come-a-long".

The inspector could not determine if pulling the pipe a few inches would cause permanent cracking or permanent deformation in the pipe. Upon questioning the contractor, nonconformance report (NCR) No. CQC-1922 was generated. The NCR stated that this operation is not to be used, unless temporary cold springing is done without exceeding elastic limits of the pipe. The NCR also gave acceptance criteria for temporary cold springing. This condition represents an item of noncompliance as identified in Appendix A.

(50-440/80-25-01)

Note: The above mentioned condition was previously brought to the licensee's attention in IE Inspection Report No. 50-440/80-19; 50-441/80-17.

5.
