1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF INSPECTION

On October 14, 1988, an NRC inspector identified a penetration support

(No. X-52) with two loose concrete expansion anchor bolts in one of the

base plates. The base plate was ceiling mounted and had a total of six

anchor bolts to transfer load to the structural concrete in the ceiling.

The penetration support was on the "B" loop of the residual heat removal

system at elevation 33'-6", inside the "B" valve room in tne reactor

building. The deficiency was brought to the attention of the licensee

and subsequently the licensee implemented an extensive program of plant

walk-down inspectioas, anchor bolt torque testing, stress analyses and

records reviews to determine the extent and safety significance of the

problem.

An NRC inspection of licensee activities regcrding this issue was conducted

at the Pilgrim plant and at the licensee engineering offices in Braintree,

Massachusetts during the period from October 27 to November 4, 1988.

Further review of the findings from licensee plant walk-down and stress

analyses of piping supports'was performed in the NRC Region I office during

the week of November 14, 1988, and a management meeting was held with the

licensee on November 17, 1988 in the NRC Region I office to discuss NRC

findings and licensee actions to resolve *this issue. The objective of the

NRC inspection was to assess the extent and safety significance of the

loose anchor bolt problem and to assess the adequacy of the licensee's

actions to resolve the issue. During the course of the inspection the

scope of the licensee's activities and the NRC inspection was expanded to

include un assessment of the effectiveness of t*evious activites by the

licensee in response to NRC Bulletins 79-02 and 79-14 regarding piping

support base plates, and "as-built" configurations, respectively.

Section 2.0 of this report presents the NRC inspection findings regarding

the licensee's activities. Section 3.0 presents a summary of the

management meeting held on November 17, and Section 4.0 presents the 4

conclusions. Attachment 1 is a list of persons contacted during the

inspection, Attachment 2 1s a list of documents reviewed and Attachment 3

is an attendance list and copy of the licensee's presentation from the

November 17 management meeting.

2.0 CONDUCT OF INSPECTION '

Following discovery of the loose anchor bolts in containment penetration

pipe support X-52, the licensee implemented a program to 16ntify and

examine simiitar penetration supports. The purpose of the program was to

determine the extent of the loose anchor bolt problem and to erify the

integrity of similiar suppe -ts..on other primary containment penetrations.

The licenseis program incsuded a review of plant drawings to determine

the location and type of supports on systems penetrating the primary

containment drywell. The licensee identified 393 drywell penetrations.

Out of these 393 penetrations, 303 are small bore (2 1/2 inches or less in

diameter) and hoe no pipe supports. For the remaining 90 large bore

penetrations, draw!ngs were reviewed and inspections were performed in the

4

plant to determine if there were any supports installed to strengthen the

penetrations. The resiew identified 16 large bore piping penetrations in

, primary containment with supplementary structural steel and base plates, t

These penetrations are l hted below.

Penetrations with drilled in expansion anchors:  ;

X-12, RHR Shutdown Cooling, A-RHR Valve Room

X-51A, RHR-LPCI Loop "A", A-RHR Valve Room

X-518, RHR-LPCI Loop "B", B-RHR Valve Room

X-52, HPCI Steam Supply, B-RHR Valve Room

X-53, RCIC Steam Supply, TIP Room, and ,

  • X-7A thru 0, X-8, X-9A and B, (Steam Tunnel Gang Support).  ;

Penetrations with cast-in place anchors:  ;

X-14, RWCU Ht Ex Su; tion, RWCU Ht Ex Room

X-16A, Core Spray Loop "A", RWCU Ht Ex Room

'

. X-16B, Core Spray Loop "B", MG Set Rm Area, and i

X-17, RHR Head Spray, Full Pool Ht Ex Room. '

! ,

These penet. rations involved ten supports, because one of the supports i

(identified with *) was a "gang" support for seven piping penetrations. '

For penetration X-14, the licensee's inspection indicated that the support

i was installed using "Wej-it" anchors, although the design drawing

indicated cast-it place anchors. l

l

! The licensee :onducted in plant inspections that included torque testing i

l of all the anchor bolts in the ten containment penetration pipe supports

!

as well as comparison of the "as-built" configuration of the supports to

the design drawings. This inspection identified two loose base plate  ;

i anchor bolts in support X-51A in addition to the two loose bolts that had ,

been observed in support X-52. Also, several discrepancies between the  !

"as-built" configuration of the supports and the design drawings were *

'

, identified. These discrepancies included items such as missing cross <

bracing, missing gusset, plates and, in some cases, over sized structural  :

l members. i

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's follow-up on this problem to

verify that the safety significance of the identified deficiencies was

being properly evaluated and that licensee actions were adequate to

resolve the issue. On October 27, 1988, two NRC inspectors performed an

inspection in the plant to visually examine support X-52 in which the

loose anchor bolts were initially observed and other similiar containment

penetration supports that the licensee had identified arJ examined.

Also, the findings from the licensee's plant inspectione and their

ongoing evaluations were reviewed by the NRC inspecurs at the licensee's

engineering offices in Braintree, Massachusetts. Based on this review

and discussion with licensee personnel engaged in the follow-up on this

problem, the NRC inspectors identified the two following coacerns:

1. Adequacy of the containment penetration pipe supports to assure

systm operability considering the deficiencies identified in the

licensee's walk-Jown inspections, and ,

2. Adequacy of the licensee's previous programs and actions in

response co NRC Bulletins 79-02 and 79-14 regarding piping support

base plates and "as-built" discrepancies, respectively.

The licensee's actions and NRC inspection activities in these two creas

are discussed in the following sections.

2.1 Adequacy-of "As-Built" Containment Penetration Pipe Supports.

Because original design calculations could not be located for all of

the containment penetration pipe supports and because of the

discrepant conditions identified, the licensee performed stress

analyses for all ten of the penetration pipe supports. Two sets of

analyses were performed. The first analyzed the "as-found"

condition of the discrepant supports to determine if the identified

discrepancies would impact system operability. For these analyses a

minimum factor of safety of two was considered necessary to demonstrate

system operability. This approach is consistent with NRC Bulletins

79-02 and 79-14. The second set of analyses was performed to determine

if the applicable code factors of safety committed to in the FSAR

were satisfied or if modifications or repairs to the discrepant

supports were necessary.

The NRC inspectors reviewed in detail the reanalyses of all ten

containment penetration pipe supports to determine the technical

validity of the analytical apnroach and the acceptability of the

results of the calculations, ihe reviews were performed at the BECo

engineering offices during the period from October 28, 1988 to

November 4, 1988, and in the NRC Region I offices during the week of

November 14. The following aspects c the calculations were

reviewed:

, */ *

' !.

,

.

-

S

- Origin and validity of the loads on the supports;

- Coordinate axis and orientation of the loads used in the

analyses;

- Methods and basis of load combinations;

- Transformation of loads from global to local axes, as

required;

- Validity of the mathematical models in representing the

correct "as-built" geometry and dimensions of the supports;

- Validity of interaction equations for structural members,

eided connections, cast-in place anchors, and concrete

expansion anchors;

- Random checks of numerical values; and

- Overall validity of assumptions, analytical procedures, and

conclusions.

The inspectors also verified that the containment penetration pipe

supports were properly modeled as anchor points in the piping stress

analysis models.

Based on their review, the NRC inspectors identified no deficiencies

in the licensee analyses and concluded that the analyses were properly

performed and supported the licensee's conclusions.

The results of the licensee's calculations indicated that all ten

containment penetration pipe supports had a minium factor of safety

of two in their "as-found" condition. Thus indicating that the

identified discrepancies between the "as-found" configuations and

design drawings did not affect system operability. The licensee's

calculations also demonstrated that eight of the ten supports

satisfied the applicable code factors of safety committed to in the J

FSAR and that the remaining two supports would satisfy those factors

of safety af ter repair or modification. The licensee informed the

NRC that the specific repairs and modifications required are in

progress, and are expected to be complete by November 22, 1988.

The licensee also performed a records review and physical

examinations to determine the cause of the loose anchor bolts

identified in supports X-52 and X-51A. It was determined that the

entainment penetration pipe supports were included on the

containment civil / structural design drawings and not on the piping

..

drawings that had been used to establish the Bulletin 79-02 and l

79-14 and pipe support ISI programs. As a result, the containment

per etration pipe supports apparently had not received the same

tk sughness of inspection as other piping supports. The licensee

, u formed a review of other civil structural drawings and a plant

i walk-down to verify that no other supports had been missed in a

j similiar fashion. In addition, the licensee performed physical

inspections of the loose anchor bolts found in supports X-52 and

X-51A. These particular bolts were "Wej-it" type anchor bolts located

in ceiling and wall base plates. Examinations revealed that the bolt

holes in support X-52 had been drilled oversize and the bolts grouted

in place. The anchor spades on the bolts showed no indication that

they had been properly set and the washer tabs that operate the anchor

,

spade push rods were bent on two bolts. The loose bolts in X-51A also

appeared to have not been properly anchored when Initially installed.

As a result of these observations, it was concluded that the failures

i

were most likely due to improper installation in the difficult over

head and wall positions. Torque testing of other bolts as described

later in this report included a large number of additonal "Wej-it"

, type anchors and no other loose "Wej-it" anchors were identified.

+

The NRC inspectors reviewed licensee data and visually examined removed

"Wej-it" bolts and concluded that no generic installation problem

existed.

2.2 Adequacy of Prior Activities Related To Bulletins 79-02 and 79-14

The loose anchor bolts and "as-built" discrepancies identified in the

containment penetration pipe supports raised concerns regarding the

adequacy of prior licensee activities in response to NRC Bulletins

79-02 and 79-14 regarding piping support base plates and "as-built"

,

configuations, respectively. To address this concern the licensee

performed ir ,, ant inspections of piping supports included in the

79-02 and 79-14 programs and other supports, including dual service

pipe whip restraint / pipe supports and civil structures (cat walks,

etc.) utilizing anchor bolt supports. A review of previous pipe

support inservice inspection program results also was performed.

Licensee Inspections c' Supports in the 79-02 and 79-14 Programs

l

! The licensee initiated a program of "as-built" verification inspec-

. . tions and anchor bolt torque testing for pipe supports that were

included in the NRC Bulletins 79-02 and 79-14 programs. Statistical

, sampling methods described in, "Sampling procedures and Tables for

i

Inspection by Attribute", MIL-Standard 1050, indicated that a sample

size of 80 was necessary to provide a 95% confidence level of a .95

probability that the percentage of defective supports was five percent

i or less. The actual number of supports inspected to verify the

"as-built" configuration was 115. These supports were included on

nine isometric drawings selected from the five plant systems identified

l

as most important to risk in the pilgrim Individual plant Evaluation

(IPE). The selected systems were: high pressure core injection

(HPCI), reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC), residual heat removal

(RHR/LPCI), core / pray (CS) and salt service water (SSW). In addition,

184 base plates were inspected and 160 anchor bolts torque tested in

accordance with mant.facturer reconmendations. These inspections and

tests identified four 1cose anchor bolts out of the 160 tested and

five discrepancies in a pports; none of which impacted system oper-

-

ability.

,

The most significant discrepancy identified was a failed member on an

RHR pipe support. The failure occurred at a fillet weld between a

vertical tubular support member and a ceiling base plate. The licensee

performed visual examin.. tons of twelve other supports in the RHR

system (not part of the original 115 sample) and found no other

damaged supports.. Licensee evaluation concluded that the failure was -

the result of lack of penetration of the fillet weld and possible

thermal hydraulic loads in the system; although, no other evidence of

significant pipe motion or damage was observed. Also, the licensee

reviewed the erection / installation documents of the support to identify

the welder who had performed the installation welding. By this review

. of records the licensee established that the. two welders who had

. performed welding on the failed support r. iso had worked on six (6)

l other supports in addition to the one i,ith the' failed weld. The

4 licensee performed visual examinations of these supports and found

that two welds had minor discrepanctes (one with weld spatter and

i one undersized). All inspected welds, however, were determined to be

acceptable for intended service.

Dual Service Supports and Civil Structure Inspections

In addition to the above, the licensee performed "as-built"

!

inspections of 15 supports in balance-of plant systems,14 supports

i in non-safety related high energy systems, performed torque testing

I on 125 anchor bolts in pipe whip restraints and 94 anchor bolts in

j civil / structural supports such as catwalks. These inspections

revealed no significant "as-built" discrepancies. Of the 207 anchor

i bolts tested,16 failed to reach the manufacturer specified torque

I values. As of November 18, none of the conditions found were determined

l to affect system operability; although, analyses of some conditions

i were still in progress. In addition to operability analyses, the

i licensee was performing analyses to confirm that the discrepant supports

'

satisfy applicable code factors of safety or will satisfy these

-l factors of safety af ter repairs are completed. The inspectors reviewed

l in detail analyses for the following dual service supports:

The above review indicated that there was no appannt tret.d or

programatic inadequacy in the design of these supports. Also, the  !

review of discrepancies identified in the licensee's inspection did -

not disclose any safety significant problem in the installa',fon of

these supports.

The results of the operabil.ity analyses and the analyses to

5

demonii.ral.e code safety factors will be examined during a future NRC

, inspection (IFl 293/88-30-01).

l

Piping Support ISI Procram Review

  • ;

The inspectors determined that the licensee's inservice inspection-  !

program includes a visual inspection of 100% of the safety related

piping supports every ten years. Since 1985, approximately 600

supports have been inspected by the licensee under this program.

The inspectors questioned whether these inspections had revealed any

discrepant conditions relevant to the current issues. The licensee

performed a review of the non-conformanco reports associated with ISI

activities. The results of this review indicated that there was no

discernable trend or other evidence indicating previous similar pipe

support problems.

3.0 NOVEMBER 17, 1988 MEETING

A management meeting was held with the licensee on November 17, 1988

in the NRC Region I office to discuss the NRC inspection findings,

the safety significance of the loose anchor bolts and the licensees

program for resolving the issue. A list of the meeting attendees and

a copy of the licensee presentation are included in Attachment 3.

During the meeting the licensee presented the scope and findings of

their program to resolve the loose anchor bolt concern and their

schedule for final dispositon of identified discrepancies. The

licensee indicated that all necessary repairs would be completed by

approximately November 22. They also stated that their review to

determine if any aspect of the issue requires reportability under

10CFR S0.72 would be completed by approximately the end of November.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS ,

i

Based on the above inspections, evaluations, and observations by  ;

inspectors, the NRC Region I staff identified no conditions regarding ,

the containment drywell penetrations th..>tould adversely impact *

operability of the associated systems. The licensee's plan to repair  ;

and restore the pipe supports to meet their design safety rargin i

required by ASME code prior to plant start-up is acceptable. The '

licensee's exter ive ti. plant walk down inspections, reanalyses and ,

-

in-depth evaluations of identified deficiencies, and corrective

, actions, when necessery, have provided confidence in the reliability

of plant safety' systems to fulfill their intended fcction.

'

Additionally, the licensee's efforts to assure the tdequacy of prior I

activities relative to Bulletins 79-02 and 79-14 have demonstrated  !

that those activities were generally adequate to identify and 1

resolve significant deficiencies as was intended by the bulletins.

The licensee's current efforts in this area have been extensive and  !

are based on recognized statistical methods to provide an acceptable ,

level of confidence that systems important to safety are operable, i

The above conclusion is also supported by the licensee's in-service '

inspection program for pipe supports, the results of which do not

indicate any adverse trend in this area.
