Unresolved Item

9-

a.

Scope of Valve Wall Thickness Verification' Program

.C

The scope of valve wall thickness verification program established

by the licensee is based on a sample number of valves. The in-

spector informed the licensee that all of the valves designated in

the RO:I letter of June 22, 1972 were to be inspected. This item

is considered to be unresolved.

(Details, Paragraph 3)

B.

Status of Previous Unresolved Items

The unresolved item listed below has been resolved.

1.

Ultrasonic and eddy current inspection data as originally reported for

,

repairs to in-core housing weld No. 28-05.

attendees:

Jersey Central Power & Light Company

D. Ross, Manager, Generating Stations-Nuclear (telephone contact only)

D. Reeves, Chief Engineer

R. Swift, Maintenance. Engineer

J. Carroll, Plant Superintendent

Items discussed are summarized below:

A.

Purpose of Inspection

The inspector stated that the purpose of this inspection was to audit the

licensee's compliance with valve wall verification requirements outlined

in the RO:I letter dated June 22, 1972.

In addition, this inspection included a review of test data and the licensee's

evaluation of this data with respect to repaArs performed on in-core housing

28-05 as previously reported in RO:I Inspection Report No. 50-219/74-12.

B.

Valve Wall Thickness Verification Program and Scope of Program

Valve Wall Thickness Verification Program

a.

Procedure Review

.

The inspector reviewed the licensee contractor's procedure,

NSD-V-3-010, Rev. O, dated February 1, 1973.

The procedure,

Ultrasonic Wall Thickness Measurement of Nuclear Piping System

Valves, reflected those parameters necessary to obtain required

<

results.

b.

Personnel Qualifications

The inspector reviewed the contractor's personnel certificates of

qualifications of all inspectors making valve wall thickness measure-

.

OE6N

ments and were in compliance with the requirements of referenced

standard, SNT-TC-1A.

c .- Data Review

The inspector audited the valve wall thickness measurement data of

the 43 completed valves.

All data had been evaluated and accepted

by the licensee.

,

The data supplied and evaluation results appeared to be sufficient in

content and detail.

d.

Reactor Safety Valves

The inspector reviewed the mechanical wall thickness measurement data

4

of the 22 safety valves, including 6 spare valves.

Valve design precludes the possibility of ultrasonically measuring the

wall thickness of the pressure boundary portion of the valve. The

i

pressure boundary of these valves are machined nozzles which are

,

fabricated to closely controlled tolerances to permit assembly. After

disassembly, nozzles of 5 valves were checked by the licensee for

compliance to detail design requirements and were found to be within

drawing tolerances. The remaining 17 valve nozzles were checked

assembled and they were deemed to meet design requirements.

The

inspector reviewed the nozzle measurement data and found the data

met specification requirements.

3.

Scope of Valve Wall Thickness Verification' Program

The licensee's valve wall thickness verification program is comprised of

a total of 73 valves, exclusive of the reactor safety valves. The scope

of the licensee's program was to inspect a representative sample of each

type of valve as stated in their letter to the Regional Office, dated

July 21, 1972. The licensee was informed by the inspector that.all of-

the valves designated in the RO:I letter, dated June 22, 1972 were to

be inspected to meet the intent of this verification program.

This item is considered to be unresolved pending completion of the_ wall

thickness verification program for the remaining valves. The licensee's

program for the verification of the wall thickness of the 22 reactor

safety valves is considered to be complete and meets the intent of the

R0:1 letter.

4.

In-Core Housing 28-05 Repairs

.

1

The inspector reviewed the licensee's letter of September 10, 1974, which

i

clarified the previous ultrasonic report for in-core housing weld No. 28-05.

In addition, a pressure test of this weld was performed during the May 1975

outage and no leakage was observed.

$

The inspector also reviewed the licensee's inspection contractor's formal

evaluation report dated July 30, 1974 with respect to certain indications

found during eddy current tests of the housing. The report stated that

during eddy current testing of the housing tube material, slight pitting

was detected in the tube's I.D. which was less than 5 percent of the tube

wall thickness. The pitting was within acceptable limits according to the

contractor's evaluation report to the licensee.

This item is considered to be resolved.
