2. Inspection Purpose and Scope

The purpose of the inspection was to determine if the licensee had

modified the Millstone Unit 1 Nuclear Power Station containment in ac-  :

cordance with commitments to NRC concerning USI A-7 involving suppression

pool (torus) hydrodynamic loads. The licensee's basis for the necessary

modifications was provided by Teledyne Engineering, Waltham, Massachusetts,

in the PVAR Revision 2, dated November 1984. The NRC concluded in safety l

analysis report LS05-84-09-009 that all but a few of the modifications  !

made by the licensee were in accordance with the generic acceptance

criteria contained in NUREG-0661. Where deviations to NUREG-0661 were

taken, they were found acceptable by the NRC. The modifications are shown

in figures 1 and 2. The objectives of the inspection were accomplished by  :

(1) reviewing design calculations and attendant drawings of certain selected i

components in the torus to determine compatibility with the design loads  :

provided in the PUAR and (2) reviewing QA records covering materials, (

welding and NDE to determine conformance to specified code requirements. l

The internal modifications to the torus, except as noted, were performed L

by E. N. Flagg. The external modifications were performed by Chicago i

Bridge and Iron (LBI). The internal items selected for review were the [

Safety Re?ief Valve T-Quenchers and temperature heaterwells. The external ,

items selected for review were the saddles. It is noted that temperature [

heaterwells were welded directly to the torus on both I.D. and O. D. surfaces.

The modifications were performed during the 1978, 1980, and 1982 outages.  ;

The requirements of the modification work were specified in the 1977 Edition '

of Section XI of the ASME Code with addenda through Summer 1978. Materials *

requirements were specified in the applicable sections of ASME Section [

III. The documents reviewed by the inspectors are shown in Table 1.

3.1 Design Review

.

', ,

The inspector reviewed selected design specifications, design calcula-

. tions, and fabrication and installation drawings generated by Taledyne

_  ;. . _ . . , . Engineering of Waltham, Massachusetts attendant with the issuance of

. the PUAR. The inspector reviewed the design of the modificat. ions to

'

the SRV T-Quencher and its supports, and concluded that the structures

were acceptable on the basis that the actual stresses were found to

^

be within the allowable stress values established in Section III of

the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. It is noted that the

. drawings prepared by Teledyne were used for installation by

'

C. N. Flagg and Company, Inc. and Chicago Bridge and Iron. The

~

-" - '

inspector reviewed photographs of the as-built condition of the vent

deflectors, T-Quencher and its supports, and the torus supporting

columns and saddles and concluded that the location and geometric

-

configuration of these items conformed to the fabrication-installation

drawings.

The inspector observed a minor drawing deficiency involving the

T-Quencher support installations assembly. The vertical and skew

lines in Teledyne drawings 0-4818 and 0-4835 did not cross reference

, the other two sets of additional and complementary drawings 0-5375,

0-5376, E-7162 and E-7165. The licensee agreed to cross reference

- these drawings by adding appropriate notes.

3.2 Installation procedures

The inspector reviewed the QA documents on microfiche for the instal-

lation of the temperature thermowells, SRV Quenchers and saddles.

The twenty-eight thermowells, as shown in Figure 2, were installed by

.

C. N. Flagg in accordance with TES drawings B-5264 and B-7195. The

'~

inspector reviewed Carpenter Technology tertified mill test report

dated June 19, 1980, and verified that the thermowells were fabricated

-

from solution annealed SA-479 type 316 stainless steel. The inspector

reviewed appropriate welding records and concluded that the type 316

stainless thermowells were welded to the SA-516 Gr 70_ torus with an

acceptable ASME Section IX welding procedure (WP 8-33). The procedure

employed the Gas Tungsten Arc Weld (GTAW) Process with typo ER 309

filler wire. The filler wire was furnished by Teledyne McKay in

-

accordance with SFA 5.9 requirements. The procedure qualification

record identified as WP 8-21 was reviewed and found to be acceptable.

-

A random check of a production welder (B 29) indicated conformance to

... - .

Section IX performance qualification requirements. Quality Assurance

Plan records were reviewed by the inspector which indicated that both

.*,

fit-up, and liquid penetrant inspection of the final layer had been

performed by inspectors certified by Hartford Steam Boiler and

-

Nondestructure Test Division.

The inspector reviewed the QA documents covering the installation of {

sixteen saddles as shown on TES drawing E-5208 Rev 3. The installa-

tion was performed by Chicago Bridge and Iron during the outage of

1981. The inspector verified by a review of operational records that

the torus was emptied during the saddle installation. The records

showed that the 1 1/2" thick saddle plates were purchased and cut by

Thames Valley Steel. Certified mill test reports indicated that the

saddle plate material was produced by Phoenix Steel and conformed to

SA 516 Gr 70 specification requirements as specified in the Owner

Specification 05-2138-2 including acceptable charpy impact properties

performed at 0*F. The records showed that attaching the saddle

plates directly to the torus was avoided by prebuttering the torus

using a special butterbead/temperbead technique followed by magnetic

particle inspection a minimum of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after welding. This

technique and welding with the torus empty were employed to preclude

brittle areas in the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the torus and

delayed cracking due to hydrogen. The inspector verified that the

CB&I manual metal arc welding procedures E7018-3 and E7018-4 which

were employed in the installation of the saddles conformed to ASME IX

and III qualification requirements as recorded in Procedure Qualifica-

.

tion Record 4400. The record showed satisfactory impact tests at O'F

l

for weld metal, base metal and HAZ. Representative E7018 electrode

i

'

test reports were reviewed and found to conform to SFA 5.1 requirements

along with satisfactory impact requirements at -20*F as shown in

Alloy Rods certified test report for material heat 421J461.

The inspector reviewed the QA records covering the installation of

, the T-Quencher as provided by C. N. Flagg. Welding was performed

l utilizing qualified ASME IX wolders in accordance with welding

l procedure WP 1-34. Representative NDE records were reviewed which

showed that the welds had been subject to visual and magnetic

particle testing. No defects were reported.

3.2 Audits and Surveillance

The inspector reviewed several detailed licensee surveillance reports

covering CBI work on the internal components of the torus. These

were identified a C-1266 (welding of Temper beads), C-1293 (magnetic

particle inspection of girders, C-1295 (welder qualifications) and

C-1322 and C-134 (welding of saddle plates). No problems were re-

corded. The inspector reviewed several licensee reports covering C.

N. Flagg work inside the torus. These included C-1258 (MT of ring

guide), C-1270 (baking of electrodes), C-1294 (MT of downcomer lugs)

C-1345 (Weld Rod Control) and C-1248 (general welding surveillance)

and C-1345 (weld rod-control). These reports did not disclose any

significant findings. Several minor findings were reported involving

baking and weld rod control. These were corrected with recom-

mendations to continue surveillance in these areas.

3.3 Tour .

!

During a tour of the control room, the inspector observed that the  ;

bulk water temperature in the torus was 80'F-82'F (Control Room

'

Panel 903) as compared to the Technical Specification requirement of  :

90'F maximum.  :

4. Conclusion f

Based on the review of design calculations, drawings, photographs of as

built condition and QA records, the inspector concluded that the licensee

had modified the Mark I containment in accordance with the commitments in ,

the Plant Unique Analysis Report. The records showed that the work was

performed under a comprehensive QA Program. No violations or deviations

were identified. l

An exit meeting was conducted on September 16, 1988 (see paragraph 1.0

for attendees) at which time the findings of the inspection were  ;

j presented. i
