! * Designates those attending exit interview on May 14, 198 . Independent Inspection and Tours Daily tours of some portions of the Unit 3 construction site i were normally conducted by the resident inspector during each

on-site work day.

,

'

Tours of Unit 5 were limited to verification of inert atmosphere for heavy equipment in the storage area near the Unit 3 cooling

, towe No items of noncompliance were identified.

!

j Proj ect Construction Status - Unit 3 i

At the end of the report period, project site construction had

! reached 54 percent completion.

I l Weld Material Controls

! Weld material control for the Morrison-Knudsen (263) structural i steel contract was further examined during this report perio The examination included practices and records at one weld rod issue station not previously covere Morrison-Knudsen procedure A.I. 07 " Welding Material Control" was examined against AWS D 1.1 requirements and used as the criteria for this examinatio No items of noncompliance were identifie . Welder Qualification Practices of PKS and Joint Venture were examined for controls which assure that the welder qualification process is not com-promised. One previous question of the resident inspector with regard to the marking of qualification samples had been resolved by the Joint-Venture by changing their system to metal stamp (rather than paint) markings. PKS routinely uses metal stamps I but their procedure permits paint if necessary. The inspector l

believed that the systems of these.two contractors could not be compromised without the deliberate collusion of individuals responsible for conducting.the tests or evaluating the test i results.

!

! Control room 7anel installation was1 examined against drawings  :

I controlling tiis activit Questions of the NRC inspector were

, resolved except for one condition concerning some apparent ex-

!

cessive grinding of the shop welds, which was documented as a

. nonconforming condition in order to facilitate engineering ,

j evaluation, i

, No items of noncompliance were identified.

. C. E. Avery Quality Program i

The initial organization and procedure system to be utilized by this Combustion Engineering organization to control the i

quality of pump internals and core internals work was discussed

with CE site personnel. Quality assurance and control manuals j for in-office review by the NRC were requested of the Licensee i for this activity.

'

No items of noncompliance were found. Follow-up inspection will be conducted as part of the routine NRC inspection program.

i Primary Loop Welding

The preparations for post weld heat treatment of primary loop I

weldments were examined against procedures and ASME Section III and IX requirements.

l

! No items of noncompliance were identified.

! Shutdown Cooling Heat Exchangers A visual inspection of these units by the resident inspector raised certain questions which have not been satisfactorily answere The north nozzle of the North Unit contains markings indicating unsatisfactory PT examination Why had the weldment of the safe-end been accepted? The north nozzle of the North Unit indicates that the safe j end weld is excessively close to the heavier nozzle sectio How could satisfactory radiographs be obtained?

l t

l Is the peeling of metal on the safe end related to a shipping i'

,

nut attachment or base material flaws?

!

I

' Why is the south nozzle of the South Unit configured differently '

from the others? Is minimum wall maintained? '

10. Primary Loop Welding Material Control The Joint Venture initiated an investigation of an incident which resulted in the inability to positively confirm whether E-308 or E-309 weld material was deposited in a 6" section of a single pass on primary loop weld No. 21 The follow-up of this contractor-identified deficiency was examined by the resident inspector. No items of noncompliance were found and it was determined that the Joint Venture had satisfactorily dispositioned the condition and taken the necessary corrective actio . Structural Steel Welding Welding procedure of the Morrison-Knudsen Company (263 contractor)

for welding of the galvanized missile shields was examine The procedure, WP-73-WPPSS, and the supporting PQR were examined without finding any deviations from the applicable AWS Code (D 1.1).

However, the procedure was forwarded to the regional office for specialist revie . Exit Interview The resident inspector conducted two weekly meetings with the site QA Manager and other Ebasco and WPPSS personnel prior to taking annual leave in the latter half of the report perio The items of this report were discussed in these meetings.
