configuration management 02.04 Review the documentation generated for the safety-related electrical cable activities.

Determine if the applicant/licensee/contractor system for documenting safety-related work is functioning properly. Records should be complete, reviewed by quality control, engineering personnel, or designee and readily retrievable.

a. receipt inspection and material certification (if applicable)

b. installation inspection

c. nonconformance/deviation record(s)

d. training/qualification records of craft, and quality inspection personnel (as required)

e. configuration management records 69020.G-03 INSPECTION GUIDANCE General Guidance The term cable includes all conductors such as fiber optics wires, cables, and busbars. The term termination refers to all electric-conductor terminations such as lugs, splices, connectors, and terminal strips that directly contribute to the electrical continuity of the circuit. Terminations also include potheads, bushing, stress cones, taping, compounds, and other devices or techniques that directly contribute to the continuity of the electrical insulation system.

Inspectors should review the facility description in the safety analysis report (SAR) or equivalent and be familiar with the requirements for safety-significant electrical cables being installed at the site. The purpose of these as-built inspections is to verify that the assumptions and critical attributes reviewed during the licensing review process remain valid; the design was appropriately translated to construction specifications; the licensee/applicant constructed the facility in accordance with these specifications; and any changes made to the design described in the SAR comply with the licensees configuration management program.

Inspectors should also be familiar with the licensees QAP and use IP 69021, Inspections of Quality Assurance Program Implementation During Construction of Non-Power Production and Utilization Facilities, to perform vertical slice inspections as described in the body of this IP.

Inspectors should complete this appendix by inspecting the attributes listed in this appendix for with a focus on safety-related electrical cables.

Inspectors should contact the applicant/licensee prior to the onsite inspection to help determine what electrical cables are to be inspected. Observation during in-progress installation of the electrical cables is desirable but not required. If necessary, inspectors may select completed electrical cables for inspection. Inspectors should not attempt to inspect all electrical cables on the site but may expand if significant concerns with the applicant/licensees control of electrical

Issue Date: 03/25/25 3

69020 App G cables installation/construction arise. Samples should include components or systems within risk-significant areas of the facility. Samples should include work of different subcontractors and work performed at various times throughout the project.

Inspectors should collect applicant/licensee procedures, electrical cable specifications, and work completion records in advance, if possible. If unable to review these documents in advance of the onsite inspection, then the licensee should be notified that these documents, and any other relevant documents, should be available when the inspector(s) arrives at the site.

Inspectors should choose one or more safety-related electrical cables and review the areas listed in Sections 02.01 through 02.04 to the extent practical and may use their judgment in determining which areas to concentrate on if time is limited. However, inspectors should gain an understanding of the applicant/licensees program to the extent necessary to determine if the applicant/licensee conforms to regulatory requirements. Not all items in the inspection requirements section will be applicable or required in all situations for all safety-related structures, systems, and components.

03.01 Inspection Requirement 02.01

(d)

Procurement requirements, such as qualification tests (seismic, environmental, etc.), functional tests, certificate of conformance, and other quality tests (material, physical, and chemical), have been successfully completed, or status of how and when such requirements will be satisfied is documented and adequately controlled.

2. Storage. Provide means to ensure the following:

(a)

The proper storage environments (as specified by the construction specifications and the manufacturers) are established for the various types of electrical components and meet applicable storage-classification levels, regardless of the location of the stored component.

(b)

Storage inspection procedures require initial verification of storage conditions and periodic verifications for the duration of the storage period. They should also ensure that special and in-place storage requirements are met.

3. Installation (a)

Procedures should require verification that loading requirements (both thermal and mass) are not exceeded in final cable routings in trays, busways, conduits, etc. This verification should include review of actual cable routing, cable routing records, and design calculations.

2. Provisions should include procedures for monitoring or surveillance of installed cables by construction quality control inspection personnel. They should ensure that maintenance requirements are satisfied and that adequate protection is provided against possible damage from adjacent construction activities, including construction traffic.

69020.G-04 RESOURCE ESTIMATE The appendices, or sections of the appendices, and inspection samples and hours, applicable to a specific facility should be in the range of 40-80 hours. Inspection preparation, including review of licensing basis, safety analysis report (SAR), and applicable codes and standards, is not included in this estimate.

69020.G-05 PROCEDURE COMPLETION This inspection procedure appendix is complete when one inspection sample is complete. Refer to Section 69020-05, Procedure Completion, of IP 69020, Inspection of Safety Related Items (and Services) During Construction of Non-Power Production and Utilization Facilities, for details on what constitutes a completed inspection sample. Inspectors are not expected to complete every activity in the appendices of this IP. Instead, inspectors should prioritize inspection activities based on 1) importance of the activity to safety, 2) availability of the onsite activity at the time of the inspection, and 3) available inspection resources. An appendix to this IP need not be completed if there are no safety-related items (or services) covered by that appendix at an NPUF.

69020.G-06 REFERENCES Refer to licensing basis requirements for applicable codes and standards for each fuel facility.
