14. Control Rod Drive Mechanism The resident inspector observed work being performed on the Control Rod Drive Mechanisms (CRDM) in the CDRM Clean Room on May 27, 1982. During this observation it was noted by the resident that two (2) nut ring retainer bolts (CDRM #1209 & CRDM #1215) were found loose on the control rod drive mechanisms. These deficiencies were immediately identified to the mechanical QC representative in the area. QCIR #20991 was generated with the following recommended disposition: " reinspect all installed nut ring retainer bolts for tightness. Record CRDM number for bolts forced loose listed on attached sheet. Disengage locking clips of all loose bolts and repeat steps 4.4.1.32 and 4.4.1.33 per SCC #INR-M-004 and, 17 & 18 per SCC

  1. INR-M-004 Document acceptance on appropriate SCC check off list and reference QCIR number." Further investigation revealed that a total of four(4) nut ring retainer bolts were forced loose during reinstallatio This included the addition of CRDM #1214 & 1245. It should be noted that the nut ring retainer bolts had been previously torqued and QC verified prior to being identified by the resident inspector. Sequence control chart SCC INR-M-004R1 Paragraph 31 states: " Torque nut ring retainer bolts to five (5) ft. Ibs." This item is identified as Violation 50-438/82-16-04 "CRDM nut ring retainer bolts."

15. Organic Films After Construction Flushes The Spent Fuel Cooling system was in the process of beir: t~ tially flushed for proof of cleanliness. Upon breaking the system open a foul odor was noted which may be indication of the presence of organic material. Webster's New World Dictionary 2nd College Edition, sub paragraph 4(a), (b), and 5, defined organic as " designating of any chemical compound containing carbon; designating of the branch of chemistry dealing with carbon compounds; of, having the characteristics of, or derived from living organisms". ANSI N 45.2.1-1973 paragraph 3.1.2 (sub-para 3) states: "The surface shall be free of orgainc films and contaminates such as oils, paints, and preservatives as determined by a visual examination or an organic solvent-dampened white cloth or an equivalent alternate method. When the system has received a final proof of cleanliness flush there should be an absence of organics".

The inspector will monitor these conditions. This is identified as Inspector Follow-up Item 438/82-16-05 " Organic Films." In addition several MEU QC personnel had been asked to describe the method by which they visually inspect for organics. The question could not be aswered by these personne . QC Personnel Physical Exams (Physical)

The resident inspector reviewed, between May 3-7, 1982, the health records of numerous QC personnel to ensure that proper eyesight / corrected vision / lack of color blindness exist among personnel performing quality control inspections. A sample of three or four QC personnel from each unit was reviewed. This review revealed that one IEU QC individual and one CEU QC individual had no record of receiving an eye examination since October 12, 1976 and March 15, 1976 respectively. The health record of the L

. . ,

IEU individual noted defective vision. ANSI N45.2.6 - 1978 paragraph 2.5 in describing " Physical" states: "the responsible organization shall identify any special physical characteristics needed in the performance of each activity. Personnel requiring these characteristics shall have them verified by examination intervals not to exceed one year".

The review noted that site health procedures specified: "an eye examination ,

is given to QC personnel upon initial hiring and once every 3 years". The individuals exceeded the site health requirments specified for physicals and had been notified by medical personnel of this delinquent time lapse; however, they did not respond. In addition, at the time of the review, no requirements on site specify that certain physical conditions be checked annually for QC personnel other than welding QC. This item is identified as Unresolved Item 438, 439/82-16-02 "QC Personnel Physicals."

1 Invalidation of Quality Control Documents During the past three months, the resident inspector has noted that numerous Quality Control Investigation Reports have been invalidated. At present, on site there is no criteria for invalidating a quality control document other than BLP-QCP-10-7R4 Paragraph 6.4.16 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion XV states: " nonconforming items shall be reviewed and accepted, rejected, repaired or reworked in accordance with documented procedure." For exampla, QCIR No.16451, under the description, recommended disposition and invalidation sections states: Description: The Code Date Plate for NAVC0 spool piece INM-144 and weld No. 285 are sealed inside a sleeve with a grouted anchor hanger. These items need to be visually inspected and verified for completion of N5 Date Form. Recommended Disposition: Perform hydrostatictestonsaiditemsperG-29Mprocessspecification3.M.9.1(d)

(sheet 2 of 15, section 2) paragraph 2.11b using maintenance of pressure as the acceptance criteria. INVALIDATION Reason: The Assistant Construction Engineer said that no process specifications or procedures were violate The above is identified as unresolved Item 438,439/82-16-03" Invalidation of Quality Control Documentation."

Secondary Containment Wall The resident inspector observed the final concrete pour of the secondary t containment ring beam. The TVA drawings which pertain to this pour include

! drawing no RWO 725-XI-53R3 and 4RWO726-XI-55 R3. Two Civil Quality I Control personnel were on site observing this pour. Also one concrete batch I

ticket was checked on a truck delivering concrete to the secondary con-i tainment pou No violations or deviations were identifie . IE Bulletins The following listed IE Bulletins do not affect Bellefonte and are therefore closed for both unit L _ _ . _ _ _ _
