d. The inspector observed the magnetic particle examination of the

following integral attachment weld on the main steam system:

Component Identification Item Number Procedure

2-MCA-SM-H101 C3.40.12 NDE-25, hvision 8

The above magnetic particle examination was observed to determine

whether the following test attributes were as specified in the

applicable test procedure:

-

Material surface preparation / cleanliness

-

Material surface temperature

-

Light intensity

-

Particle contrast

-

Examination technique / coverage

-

Yoke lifting power

-

Magnetizing current

!

-

Pole spacing

-

Examination personnel knowledgeable of limiting test factors

The inspector observed the following test limiting factors during the

examination of the above weld:

(1) The magnetic particle examiner was observed taking initial

magnetic field strength readings with his magnetic field indicator

positioned upside down. The inspector questioned the examine" as to

which side of the field indicator should be used to check i.he

magnetic field and the examiner answered the inspector's question

correctly. However, as stated above, the examiner had

inadvertently positioned the field indicator incorrectly and had

proceeded to examine the weld. When the inspector requested the

examiner to re-check his magnetic field on the weld, a magnetic

field could not be obtained.

(2) A portable light mounted on the yoke was observed to produce a

light source les, reflective of the ferromagnetic particles than a

light source established using a flashlight. Investigation into

this problem revealed that in some instances the magnetic

particles on the field indicator could not be seen using the yoke

mounted light, however, a flashlight clearly revealed a definite

field of particles.

(3) As stated briefly in item (1) above, a magnetic field could not be

established in the weld under examination when using dry powder

magnetic particles with alternating current (AC) yokes or with

direct current (DC) prods. The reason for this abnormality was

not established by the licensee during the inspector's visit.

Since the weld examined above was not unique in configuration and

field strength indicators are not required to be used prior to

, each examination by the examination procedure, welds previously

,

T

j examined by the licensee may have been accepted when, in fact, a

magnetic field for dry particle examination may not have been  ;

induced into the weld.

(4) Procedure No. NDE-25, Appendix A, invokes the general requirements

{' of the Code for using a magnetic particle field indicator. However,

the test procedure fails to specify wt.en or on what specific

, components and shapes the magnetic particle field indicator

should be used.

At the conclusion of the inspection, the licensee was actively

investigating the cause and possible effects of the magnetic particle

examination abnormality reported by the inspector. Until the

licensee's investigation is complete and the scope of the problem

determined. This issue will be identified as Unresolved Item

370/86-11-01, Magnetic Particle Examination of Integral Attachments.

Within the areas examined, no violation or deviation was identified.

7. Inservice Inspection Data Review and Evaluation (737558) Unit 2

The inspector reviewed nondestructive examination (NDE) records for the

-

current inspection period to ascertain whether the extent and frequency of

examinations were consistent with the Technical Specification and the NRC

accepted ISI program whether they met the minimum examination requirements

specified in the applicable addenda of ASME Section XI, whether they had

, been reviewed by the Authorized Nuclear Inservice Inspector. See

paragraph 5 above for the applicable Code.

a. NDE records for the following pressure retaining piping system welds

were selected by the inspector

l

The records for the above welds were reviewed to ascertain that the

following requirements were met:

-

The method, extent, and technique of examination complied with the

licensee's ISI program and applicable NDE procedure.

-

The examination data were within the acceptance criteria as

outlined in the applicable NDE procedure and applicable Code

i

requirements.

I -

The recording, evaluating, and dispositioning of findings were in

compliance with the applicable NDE procedure and Code requirements.

j -

Inservice NDE results were compared with the recorded results of t

prior Section XI examinations.

-

The method used for NDE was sufficient to determine the full

extent of indication or acceptance.

t

Within the areas examined, no violation or deviation was identified.
