RBS - PSAR 17.1.7.5B Site Receiving Inspection Examination of materials and equipment, upon delivery at the
. construction site, is performed by the Superintendent of Field QC and his staff engineers for assurance that quality was not impaired during
. transit to the construction site. Receipt inspection also verifies that specified QC records are available prior to use or installation of the material or equipment.
Receiving inspection and examination consists of, as appropriate to the item, the following actions:
a.
Verification that identification and markings are in accordance with applicable codes, specifications, purchase orders, drawings, and applicable quality control procedures or instructions.
b.
Visual inspection to assure that protective covers and seals are intact.
c.
Verification that special coatings and preservatives are applied in accordance with specifications, purchase orders, or manufacturers' instructions.
d.
Initiate a Quality Assurance Inspection Report.
\\-
e.
Visual inspection for cleanliness to assure that accessible internal and external areas are within the specification requirements for dirt, soil, mill scale, weld spatter, oil, grease, or stains, f.
Items not previously accepted by the Procurement Quality Control Inspector are inspected at the site to the inspection requirements of the purchase document.
17.1.7.6B Quality Documentary Evidence Effectiveness of the control of quality by vendors is assured at intervals, as necessary and consistent with specification requirements and the complexity of the item. Vendor assessments by SWEC are documented and include the following evidence of quality: test reports, inspection records, special process procedures approvals, witnessing of required NDT and operating tests, audit reports, inprocess checks of materials, manufacturing, and fabrication. The fully signed-off SWEC Certificate of Compliance by the Engineers' QA Representative is the summary documented evidence that specification requirements in the procurement and manufacturing or fabrication area have been complied with, rN

accordance with a given procedure, the welder must be requalified for that procedure.
The control of special processes includes documentation of welding by welder, date, procedure, inspection performed and records of preheat, post heat, and stress relief. These records are used to assure that the requirements of the weld procedure, specifications, standards, and special requirements have been met.
17.1.9.3B Cast and Forged Components y_
Specifications for QA Category I cast and forged valves and other cast components important to nuclear safety require verification of wall thickness. Cast and forged valves over one in. nominal pipe size, within the reactor coolant pressure boundary (Quality Group Classification A) and within the boundaries of systems of Quality Group Classification B and C as defined in Regulatory Guide 26, shall require demonstration of acceptable wall thickness. Thickness measurements are made using deep throated vernier calipers or approved ultrasonic thickness measuring devices. A sufficient number of measurements are taken to assure that the finished valve body and bonnet meet the minimum wall thickness requirements as shown on drawings, which in turn must meet the requirements of ASME Section III. Qualified UT procedures, including calibration requirements must be submitted to SWEC for review and evaluation prior to use.
All wall thickness

verification measurements are to be documented.
17.1.9.4B Nondestructive Testing Nondestructive test examinations and personnel performing these examinations are controlled by requirements specified in specifications and in the QA Program manuals.
Manufacturer's personnel performing NDT must be qualified in accordance with the applicable Code requirements. Qualification, certifications, and the results of such tests are reviewed and verified by SWEC QC Inspectors in vendor's shops and at the construction site.
Field QC personnel witnessing and/or performing NDT examinations at the construction site are qualified in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, and the American Society of NDT, l
SNT-TC-1A-1975 Recommended Practice.
SWEC QC personnel performing radiography are also qualified in accordance with NRC regulations for safe handling of radioactive sources. A computer program for SWEC Nondestructive Test personnel is established and maintained current in regard to qualification and training. Sellers and subcontractors NDT procedures are submitted for review and evaluation when required by the specifications.
