Followup On Allegations The inspector performed followup activities relative to the following allegations pertaining to electrical activities at the Perry site.

Results are as shown for the individual al. legations.

Allegation RIII-83-A-0093 (1) '(Closed) Switchgear 5018, 5019 and 5020 were turned over to theNuclearTestSection(NTS). NTS damaged.the switchgear during the switchgear testing and turned it back to Comstock.

The alleger identified the damage in inspections conducted during September 1982 however, his supervisor would not allow the findings to be documented.

NRC Review Direct inspection of cabinets 1R24-5018, 1R24-5019 and 1R24-5020 and other switchgear in the area by the NRC inspector did not reveal any damage, neither internal nor external, to the switchgear. The inspector examined QC inspection reports issued subsequent to the September 1982 observations by the alleger. No incidence of damage was mentioned in these QC inspection reports. NCR-0QC-156 identified six overtorqued bolts which were removed and replaced in May 1982.

Through discussions with site personnel, the inspector determined that quality inspection of this switchgear, during the time of the alleged incident, was the responsibility of the Operations Quality Control (00C) and not the responsibility of the alleger's organization.

Therefore, 00C would have been responsible for documenting deficiencies, not the alleger. During interviews by the NRC inspector, the 0QC inspector responsible for the switchgear stated that the switchgear had not been damaged.

Conclusions Based on the NRC's direct inspections, review of quality assurance documentation, and interviews with cognizant site personnel that revealed that NCR initiation in this area was the responsibility of 0QC and not the alleger nor his supervisor, this allegation was not substantiated.

(2)

(Closed) There is a problem with the identification of wiring on the outboard side of all safety related penetrations. Bare vendor wires (wires that came with.the penetrations) are causing the problem. The L. K. Comstock Quality Control Manager was informed but the problem has.not been resolved.

NRC Review The NRC inspector examined the wiring on the outboard side of safety-related electrical penetrations. The inspector did not observe any conductors (wires), that were not identified, including both vendor and field wiring.

Inspection personnel who had been involved in penetration inspections did not recall a problem with wiring identification in these penetrations. There were no " bare" wires in the penetrations examined by the inspector.

Conclusion This allegation was not substantiated by direct inspection of penetrations or interviews with the quality inspectors remaining on site who were familiar with the penetration terminations.

(3)

(Closed) The licensee was reinspecting equipment in an attempt to identify any nonconforming conditions. Two motor control centers were mentioned by the alleger as possibly being involved, 1R23-5026 and 1R24-5028. The motor control centers are located flush against the wall. The Nuclear Test Section has to remove the internal buckets to get to the bus bars. The alleger had concerns about the bend radius of the determinated cables.

NRC Review The inspector examined randomly selected buckets in motor control centers including buckets in the two motor control centers mentioned in the allegation.

No evidence that minimum bend radii was exceeded was observed by the inspector. Review of the bucket removal methods and discussions with personnel involved, including the QC inspectors who were providing 100 percent inspection converage, revealed that cables were not determinated to remove the buckets. The design of the bucket permits easy removal of modular terminal blocks without removing the cables from the blocks.

Review of QC inspection reports did not reveal any problems identified with bend radius violations.

Conclusion Based on the results of direct inspection of the motor control center buckets and cables, review of quality assurance records and interviews with cognizant site personnel, this allegation was not substantiated.
