Dear Mr. Hawkins:

With regard to your comments at the exit meeting held at PNPP on October 27, 1978, I am sending the following attached information: RE: Noncompliance 78-02-12; 78-01-12 a. Text of letter to all contractors placing concrete in safety-related structures requesting that indoctrination and training sessions be held and documented concerning performance of air content and temper-ature test when high slump procedures are implemented, and that this be a requirement to be included in the next revision of the applicable procedures. RE: Unresolved Item 78-02-10; 78-01-10 Engineering Change Notice to clarify the terminology in Table 5:13 (SP-14, National Mobile) will not be issued as NED/GAI Engineering does not agree with proposed change. Meeting with Engineering representatives will be held during next NRC inspection visit. RE: Unresolved Item 78-03-05; 78-02-05 b. Text of letter to all contractors placing embedments and reinforcing steel in safety-related structures to include cleanliness requirements for this material in the next revision of the applicable procedure and immediately conduct indoctrination and training sessions to clarify definition of " loose rust and mill scale." j Additionally, with regard to your concerns in the matter of cement in-process testing, we have attached c. the CCRL report for Medusa cement dated April 2, 1976, and; NOV 131978 381127 Wd

Mr. F. Hawkins November 3, 1978 d. National Mobile's internal audit checklists Qr ceme.nt manufacturers. When the CCRL report for Bessemer cement is available we will forward this to your attention also. Please note, ve Lave exhausted our last grind of Bessemer cement and do not anticipate.otaining another grind of Bessemer in the near future. Please call if you have any,estions.

BOX 5000 Serving The Best Location in the Nation November 2, 1978 The following letter has been sent to DICK Corporation, Great Lakes, National Engineering, National Mobile, U. S. Testing, S & M, Ernst-Comstock, and Construction Quality Control. RE: High Slu=p Concrete Procedure Currently, if a truckload of concrete is " spun down" to reduce the slump, there is no ' requirement for air content tests and concrete temperatures to be taken. This letter establishes the requirement i to perfom air content tests and take the concrete temperatures in addition to perfoming slump tests when 100 revolutions or more are made on the concrete transit truck in order to reduce slump. All contractors placing concrete in safety-related structures or who address a high slump procedure in their quality program are requested to take the following actions: 1. Conduct indoctrination and training session to immediately implement the perfomance of air content and temperature tests, in addition to slump tests, when " spin down" of the concrete transit truck equals or exceeds 100 revolutions, and 2. Include the conditions requiring air content and temperature tests in your high slump procedure during the next revision of the procedure. The above requests are not considered an increase in contract scope and have no cost impact since: (1) contractors are already required to have a high slump procedure; (2) contractors are not billed for in-process concrete testing perfomed by the independent testing laboratory; and (3) contractors' present quality programs require indoctrination and training sessions. Compliance with the above requests vill close a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) unresolved item. Therefore, we ask your imedit.te

l , November 2, 1978 and full cooperation on this matter. We emphasize: do not revise your high slump procedure just to include the requirement for air content and temperature tests. The NRC will not expect to see procedure revisions during their next inspection. The NRC will expect documentation of indoctrination and training sessions to inform your personnel of the new requirements. Please confim by November 17, 1978 your intent to comply with our request. If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact us at (216)259-3737, ext. 315 (W. J. Tokarcik) or 204 (J. J. Conne13,y). Very truly yours, A2J. %~* W. J.

BOX 5000 Serving The Best Location in the Nation November 2, 1978 The following letter has been sent to all safety-related contractors placing reinforcing steel or embedments (steel), plus Construction Quality Control. RE: Criteria for Cleanliness of Reinforcing Steel and Embedments During March of this year you participated in some discussions with Site Organization's' Construction Quality Control on the subject of cleanliness of reinforcing steel. Mr. M. Cohen, then of CQC, conducted individual and group instructicn sessions with CQC and contractor personnel to clarify acceptable and unacceptable conditions of reinforcing steel. During this period you were asked to include in your structural concrete preplacement inspections a specific item for assuring "all loose rust and mill scale shall be removed from embedded items and reinforcing steel." All organizations perfoming inspections of embedments and reinforcing steel have included an inspection item for loose rust and loose mill scale in their inspection programs. What has not been included in all cases is specific explanation or definition of what constitutes loose rust and mill scale. During the next revision of ycur procedure covering the inspection of embedments and reinforcing steel please include the following definition of loose rust and mill scale: " Loose rust and mill scale shall be the fomation of excessive rust or mill scale such that flecks or particles could fall off during nomal concrete placing activities." Your commitment to add such an explanation to the next revision of your embedment/ reinforcing steel inspection procedure will enable the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to close an unresolved item on the subj ect. We emphasize, the NRC will not expect to see a procedure revision including this definition during their next inspec-tion, unless you have revised the procedure for other reasons. Do not revise the procedure just to include definition of loose rust and mill scale. Please confirm by November 17, 1978 your intent to comply with our request. If you have any questions regarding i the above, please contact us at (216)259-3737, ext. 315 (W. J. Tokarcik) or 204 (J. J. Connelly). Very truly yours,

~ a _m. m. , h u.;-"- j I i 1 { ADDENDUM The Cement arid Cencret e Re f eret.ce Laborate y har heen in existence since [ 1929. 'n April of that year, a Research Associate Progran., known as the Cement [ Reference Laborat or y, was est ablished at the bational Bureau of Standards under j the Aponsorship of Com: nit tee C-1 on Cecent of tbn American Society for Testing [- Materials. The principal responsibility of the CRL was to promote uniformity i in the testing cf hydraulic cement s through the inspection of laboratories. I r i In 1945, the first steps were taken in a gradual expansion of the field [ work t o include son,e of the more important procedures used in the testing of concret e. On March 1, 1956, the resulting new inspection service was made available to any interested concrete testin3 laboratory within the prescribed areas of operation, and shortly thereafter Committee C-1 invited Committee C-9 to becoce a joint s p on s or.. The invitation was accepted and on July 1, 1960, the nacie " Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory" was adopted in recognition of the new arrangement. At the time of the redesignation, a joint C-1, C-9 Subcommittee on the Ce me nt and Concrete Reference Laboratory, consisting of seven representativcs of each of the parent committees, was created to work sith the National Bureau of Standards in administering the CCRL program. The new administrative plan l perpetuated the earlier arrangements whereby selected representatives of the Federal Agencies, materials producers, construction and design firms, and national associations, who furnish either financial or technical assistancc, participate in the direct ion of the activity through membership on the supervising ASTM Subcouaittee. As of July 1, 1975, organizations who were f urnishing financial or technical support were as follows: Feocral: Federal Highway Administration Hunt Process Corp., Southern National Bureau of Standards John Carollo Engineers U.

GEM $da Cement -1 DESCRIPTION OF INSPECTION The inspection was designed to include an examination of the apparatus and an observatior, of the test procedures used in deter-mining the physical properties of portland cement set forth in ASTM Specifications C150 und C175, and an examination of the apparatus used in determining the physical properties of casonry cement set forth in ASTM Specification C91.

The ASTM Standards on which the work was based were as follows: C91-71, C109-73, C115-74, C151-74a, C183-75, C185-75, C187-74, C191-74, C204-75, C230-68, C266-74, C305-65, C430-75, C451-75, C490-74, 4 and C511-75. Apparatus Storage Facilities for Test Specimens The physical condition and the functioning of the various mechanical features of the moist air storage facilities for cement test speciumns were observed, and where possible, the temperature and humidity of the storage atmosphere were checked for conformance t o the requirement s o f C511. In addition, it was determined whether the unit was equipped with automatic temperature control and or not with a recording thermometer. The cleanliness and the physical condition of all water storage tar.ks presented for inspection were observed, and it was noted whether or not the water was lime saturated. Where possible, the temperature of the water was checked for conformance to the requirements of the various methods of test for cements for which such facilities are required. Wan tt Turbidin,eter (Clli) Ecch Wa ner Turbidimeter, stirring apparatus, timing buret, and sedimentation tank presented for inspection was checked for c on formance to the design and dimensional requirements of C115. Each microammeter presented was checked for conformance to the design and accuracy of indication requirements of the specification, and the physical condit ion was observed. Wet Sieving Apparatus (C4 30) Each No. 325 sieve, spray nozzle, and pressure gage presented for inspection was checked f or conformance to the requirements of C430, anJ the physical condition was observed. A check was made of the nozzle in use to cetermine if the flow rate was within the limits set forth in the " Manual of Cement Testing." January 1976 y, ym. nw.s nsaan.--- m--

Each length comparator i and bar mold presented were checked for conformance to the design and dimensional requirements of the specification and the accuraev T of indication of each comparator was checked. Graduates (C490) One or more glass graduates typical of those used by the laborat ory in the testing 'of cement s were checked for conformance to the marking and volumetric requirements of C490. Flow Table (C230) Each ten-inch flow table and accompanying concrete pedestal, and each flow caliper and flow mold presented for inspection were checked for conformance to the design and dimensional requirements of C230. In addition, the performance of each table was tested. with a sample of the CCRL flow table material. Compression' Test Apparatus (C109) Compression Machine - Unless otherwise noted, only one testing machine was inspected. During this inspection, several of the more important mechanical features of the machine were examined, the bearing blocks were checked for conformance to the design and dimensional requirements of C109, and the accuracy of load indication was verified. The verification tests were made using proving rings calibrated at the National Bureau of Standards. In these tests, the proving rings were manually operated, test loads were approached by increasing the load from a lower load as specified in Method E4, the proving rings and the nachine were individually operated as is concidered to be good practice, and all load readings were corrected for dif ferences between the test temperature and the ring calibration temperature. Cube Molds and Tampers - The cube molds and campers presented for inspect ton were checked for conformance to the design and dimensional requirements of C109. Miscellaneous - Apparatus other than the compression testing machine, cube molds, and tampers used in making compressive strength tests is covered elsewhere in this report. March 1975

Mix Weights _: (b) The mix balance could be read directly over its entire capacity of 3,000 grams; therefore, mix weights of the conventional type were not checked. 1 Gillmore Needles (C266-74): (c) One set of C111more needles was examined, e d the tip of the final needle was found not to be straight and the end of the needle was not at right angles to the axis of the rod as is required. It was recommended that the needle be repaired or replaced. Miscellaneous _: (d) The relative humidity of the air in the laboratory was observed and found to be as follows: 36% at 9:00 a.m., 36% at 12 :00 noon, and 27% at 4 :00 p.m. on March 8,1976. The various methods of test for cement indicate that the relative humidity should be maintained at no less than 50 percent. (e) It was understood that the laboratory had not been supplied with a copy of the latest edition of the ASTM Book of Standards per-taining to the testing of cement. Availability of this publication is regarded as optional provided that the deficiencies noted in this l report are not attributable to reference to an obsolete standard or [ an operator's lack of familiarity with current specification require-l ments.

In April cf that year, a Research Associate Program, known as the Cemet.t , it ference Laboratory, was established at the National Bureau of Standards under L 'he sponsorsh1P of Cor_ait tee C-1 on Cement of the American Society for Testing ka t e r ia ls. The principal responsibility of the CRL was to promote uniformity it. the testin2 cf hydraulic cements through the inspection of laboratories, h In 19'.8, the firs t steps were taken in a gradual expansion of the field J hork to include son,e of the more important procedures used in the testing of p oncrete. On March 1, 1958, the resulting new inspection service was rnade c available t o at'y interested concrete testing laboratory within the prescribed ' 4:eas of operation, and shortly thereaf ter Committee C-1 invited Conunittee C-9 q ' to become a jcin' sponsor. The invitation was accepted and on July 1, 1960, the name " Cement and Concrete Re ference laboratory" was adopted in recognition 1 ! cf the new arrangement, At the tinne of the redesignation, a joint C-1, C-9 Subcommittee on the Ctrent and Concrete Reference Laboratory, consisting of seven representatives cf each of the parcht committees, was created to work with the National Bureau Cf Standards in administering the CCRL program. The new administrative plan ferpetuated the carlier arrangements whereby selected representatives of the l ' Iederal Agencies, tr.ater161s producers, cons truct ion and design firms, and tational associat ions, who furnish either financial or technical assistance, g hrticipate in the direction of the activity through membership on the i supervising ASTM Subcon:mit tee.
