Safety Related Pipe Support and Restraint Systems

The seismic verification has resulted in ninety-two large bore piping

hangers requiring modifications. As of this inspection, eighty-two

hanger modification packages have been received onsite and changes to

forty-five hangers have been completed. Verification of these completed

hangers with as-built drawings has not yet been completed.

Approximately sixty-six small bore (2" diameter and smaller) piping

hangers require modifications.

Forty-four of these modifications are

to provide two-way vertical restraint of the pipe. To date, modifications

to fifty-one small bore hangers have been completed.

The inspectors examined modifications to large and small bore pipe

supports in Unit I containment to ascertain by visual examination

whether the pipe supports met the requirements specified by licensee's

drawings, procedures and specifications.

a.

The following pipe supports were examined in the containment and

~

found acceptable:

All of the supports had been examined and accepted by Pullman's

quality control and all of the supports appeared to meet the applicable

requirements.

b.

The following pipe supports were examined and found unacceptable:

(1)

Pipe Support flumber 57-ll7R:

Undercut was found in one area of the T-shoe welds that was

approximately 5/8" long by 1/16" deep, and adjacent to the

undercut was a slag pocket that made it impossible to determine

visually if the undercut was deeper or longer.

Pullman

Power Products Engineering Specification Diablo (ESD) flumber 223

in paragraph 6.8.2.4(b) states in part, that, "The final surface

of all welds shall be substantially free of sharp surface

irregularities, excess, surface slag, slag inclusions, and

shall have a good workmanship appearance." and in paragraph

6.8.2.4(c) that, " Undercut, extending the length of the weld

shall not exceed 1/32" in depth. Local undercut shall not

exceed 1/16" when the length of a local undercut area does not

exceed 1/2" in any 6" length of weld."

The inspectors also found one arc strike on the Class I pipe

for this support.

ESD 223 in paragraph 6.8.2.4(D) states in

part, that "No arc strikes on pipe shall be permitted."

This pipe support was examined and accepted by Quality Control

on Febru'ary 4, 1982.

(2)

Pipe Support flumber 41-60R:

A gouge was found on the supporting structural steel for this

support which measured 0.5 inches in length and 0.080 inches

in depth.

PG&E Structural Steel Specification Diablo Canyon

Number 8833XR states that the maximum allowable depth for

gouges and other similiar discontinuities shall be 0.062 inches.

This pipe support was examined and accepted by Ouality Control

on February 4, 1982.

(3) Pipe Support Number 2155-42:

This support was found to have one weld that was not as

detailed on the as-built drawing. The weld detail as specified

was later determined to be a drafting error, and the weld on

the support is as the Designer / Engineer intended. Also, on

l

one end of the support a number of weld discrepancies were

'

found " circled" with a soap stone marker indicating that work

on this support was incomplete.

However, in both cases the

Quality Control Inspector failed to notice the discrepancies

and turned the support in as examined and acceptable.

ESD 223

in paragraph 6.8.2.5(A) states in part, that, "The fillet weld

size shall be as specified on the drawing," and in paragraph

i

This support was examined and accepted by Ouality Control on

January 27, 1982.

(4) Pipe Support Number 2180-18:

The inspector noted th'at two bolts on the T-shoe strap

'

for pipe support 2180-18 did not have full thread engagement.

ESD 223 in paragraph 6.4.3.3 states that, "The Field QC Inspector

shall verify that all lock nuts are in place and tight and that

,

there is full thread engagement at all connections, at least

flush".

This support was examined and accepted by Quality Control on

,

'

December 1,1980.

The failure to perform work in accordance with approved procedures

is considered an apparent item of noncompliance with 10 CFR 50,

Appendix B, Criterion V, " Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings".

(50-275/82-07/01).

Seismic Limiters-(Snubbers) and Spring Hangers

During examination of the pipe support modifications the inspectors

noted the following:

a.

Pipe Support Number 176-141SL was found to have two snubbers which

had the four bolts /capscrews on the transition tube flange which

did not have full thread engagement or locking devices. A PG&E

memo dated June 4, 1980 required that from that date all new PSA

snubber installations or rework on snubbers should have the bolts

safety wired. However, the licensee never verified that all the

snubbers installed prior to June 4,1980 had the flange bolts safety

wired. Also, the licensee presented the inspector with a letter

from Pacific Scientific (PSA) that appeared to imply that it was

innaterial whether or not the bolt /capscrews extended through the

snubber flange as along as the bolts used were supplied by PSA.

This matter is considered unresolved pending further investigation.

(50-275/82-07/02).

b.

Pipe Support Number 2180-18 was found to have the spring hanger

rod attachment supported on the threads of the beam attachment

bolt. Discussions with the licensee personnel indicated that the

beam attachment, and the bolt and nut were all vendor supplied items

(ITT-Grinnell). The inspector questioned whether the vendor had

considered the reduction in load rating when the threaded portion

of the bolt is used as the base.

Several other spring hangers

in the area were observed supported in a similar fashion.

This item is considered unresolved pending further investigation to

ascertain whether this condition is acceptable.

(50-275/82-07/03).

been started.

Consequently no field inspections of this work

were made.
