Functional or-Program Areas Inspected

a.

Site Tours

At periodic intervals during the report period, tours of areas

-

of the site were performed. These tours were intended to assess

the cleanliness of the site; storage conditions of equipment and

material being used in site construction; the potential for fire

or other hazards which might have a deleterious effect on person-

nel and equipment; and to witness construction activities in

progress.

No items of noncompliance or deviation were identified.

.

b.

Electrical Cable Installation

During the reporting period, the inspector randomly observed

the installation, handling, and protection of electrical cables,

specifically, work associated with Class 1E electrical cables

in the Power Block. The cables observed were hand pulled

through tray in the Auxiliary and Control Buildings.

It was

observed that pull cards were in use,-cables were identified,

Quality Control inspections were performed and Quality Control

personnel witnessed the pull. Quality Control coverage of each

event appeared adequate.

No items of noncompliance or deviation were identified.

c.

Program Control

At periodic intervals the inspector reviewed Nonconformance

Reports (NCRs), change implemented Field Change Requests (FCRs),

selected audit findings, construction procedure revisions,

Quality Control procedure revisions, and plant problems identi-

fied by the Licensee and Contractor (BA). The inspector attended

top of the Separator hosing down (cleaning) the sides of the

surrounding' pool walls. The sides of the Separator were un-

covered and wet.

Craft personnel stated they also intended to

hose down the Separator. :The inspector noted that the Shroud

-Head and Separator EquipmentLTraveler B13-004 did not contain

'a step or operation for cleaning or washing down the Steam

Separator. Contractor supervision stated they were verbally

instructed by the Licensee to perform.the operation and that

water quality was acceptable. _The inspector notes that there

were no written instructions for cleaning the Separator, nor

were there any written water quality requirements or results

available in the work-area or included-in the Traveler Package.

the appropriate Stop-Work action. The inspector performed a

follow-up surveillance on January 4, 1982, and notes that an
