THIRD SUPPLEMENT TO NRC STAFF RESPONSE TO CASE'S REQUEST FOR ADMISSIONS
- 1. INTRODUCTION On February 4,1985, Intervenor Citizens Association for Sound Energy (CASE) filed a request for admissions in which it asks the Staff to aomit certain facts purportedly found by the Staff's Technical Review Team (TRT) during the course of its review and evaluation of Applicants' construction and quality assurance / quality control activities at Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES). In its March 1, 1985 Response the Staff indicated that the TRT's findings and conclusions regarding the matters within its jurisdiction are set forth in applicable Supplemental Safety Evaluation Reports (SSERs). See Staff Response at 2-3. At the time the Staff's March 1 Response to CASE'S Admission requests was filed only the SSER concerning Electrical / Instrumentation and Test Program issues had been published. Subsequently, the Staff issued SSER No. 11, which addresses Quality Assurance / Quality control issues. Consequently, the Staff is now in a position to resnand to CASE admission requests

The Staff's responses are set forth below.
II. NRC STAFF RESPONSE TO SPECIFIC ADMISSION REQUESTS
- 34. The TRT found, based on a review of about 200 fuel pool travelers, that the fuel pool travelers included irregularities such as:
- 1) There was apparently a routine practice during construction of the fuel pool that allowed craft personnel to complete a portion of the inspection report fonns prior to the actual inspection. Craft personnel entered the word " SAT", dated the entry, and left blank only the space for the QC inspector's signature. It appeared that the craft personnel were judging the inspection results prior to inspection.
- 2) The date accompanying the signature for visual examination of an inside weld was changed to a date that appeared to precede the examination.
- 3) Entries by the same inspector for two different inspections did not appear to match in that one entry appeared to be written by another person.
- 4) The procedure number for a dye penetrant inspection was changed by an insoector different from the one who conducted the inspection.
- 5) The date for a dye penetrant inspection was changed by an inspector other than the one who performed the inspection.
- 6) Fuel pool travelers were found with missing QC signoffs for fitup and cleanliness. No proof could be found that some of the required weld fitup and cleanliness inspections were ever performed.
-1/ The Staff's Response to CASE Admission Requests 1-13, 14-17, 18-27, and 28-33 were timely filed on March 1, April 4, and June 7, 1985, respectively. The Staff will respond to CASE Admission requests 86, 90, 91, 116, and 123 on July 1, 1985.
- 7) The TRT rtview disclosed the following irregu-larities with t?aveler entries in addition to those listed above:
(a) Date changes a'ter the fact (b) Signoffs for functions our of sequence
' (c) Corrections after the fact (d) Changes to first party inspector date signoffs (e) Missing signatures STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at pp. 0-199 thru 0-206.
- 35. The TRT found no basis or criteria for paint removal or identi-fication methodology of " worst case" pipe whip restraints which had received inadequate source inspections. This resulted from a TRT review of 17 NCRs issued involving weld defects.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit only that CASE Admission Request 35 fairly reflects the contents of Part 2(B) of the enclosure of the TRT's January 8, 1985 letter to TUEC. See SSER 11 at 0-196.
- 36. The TRT found that although pipe support components had been previously inspected and accepted by TUEC Oc as rreeting the respective construction and installation requirements, of 42 pipe supports inspected, 46 deficiencies were identified.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at pp. 0-249 and 0-250.
- 37. The TRT found that TUEC did not report to the NRC, pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 50.55(e)(1), the omission of thread-locking devices in the Unit I nuclear safety systems and did not attempt corrective action until May 1984, when TUEC tested previously applied paint for thread-lock capability. That test was inconclusive, since it did not establish that
. the paint, an epoxy process, would reliably perform as an effective locking device under all service conditions and throughout the expected lifetime of the plant.
STAFF PESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-263.
- 38. The TRT found that TUEC could not identify to the TRT which paint was the subject of testing.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-260.
- 39. The TRT found that paint was applied to ASME code-controlled, NF hardware per specification 2323-AS-30 (non-Q) which required no inspection. (This issue appears to be generic for Unit 1.)
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSEP 11 at p. 0-259.
- 40. The TRT found that TUEC did not initiate an NCR, required by procedure, identifying _the widespread problem of missing locknuts; only a Request for Information was apparently generated which TUEC could not locate for the TRT.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-259, 263.
- 41. The TRT found that pipe support RC-1-901-702-C825 had a load bolt at a beam attachment which did not exhibit an approved locking device. (The bolt material type was SA-307 grade A.) The TRT found that pipe support CS-1-085-003-A42K had no approved locking device on the "special clamp" bolts, even though the design drawing for this clamp showed each bolt with a nut and a locknut.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 42. The TRT found that the baseplate for pipe support CC-X-039-006-F43R, located in the component cooling system, Room 249A, Fuel Handling Building, violated minimum ed;e distance criteria for bolt holes.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 43. The TRT found the horizontal member of Support CC-1-126-010-F33R was 3 inches lower at its centerline relative to the upper bolt-hole centerline than shown on the vendor-certified drawing.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 44. The TRT found that an excessive free gap existed between spherical bearing and washers on the sway strut asserrbly of support CC-1-126-015-F43R.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250,
- 45. The TRT found that other supports with similar bearing gap anomalies found in TRT's inspections were: RC-1-052-016-C41K, RC-1-052-020-C41K, and MS-1-416-001-533R.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit with following clarification: Correct pipe support number is RC-1-052-015-C41K, not RC-1-052-016-C41K. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 46. The TRT found that the frequency of this type of procedure violation in the TRT's limited inspection suggests that this problem is generic for Unit 1.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit that TRT found the frequency of this procedural violation to be " excessive." See SSER 11 at 0-263; see also 1_o, d at 0-250.
- 47. The TRT found paint contamination in the bearings of both snubber assemblies on component support SI-1-909-006-C41K that severely obstructed the bearing cavities and limited their movement.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. Correct support number, however, is SI-1-090-006-C41K. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 48. The TRT found that a similar condition exists on supports MS-1-416-002-533R.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 49. The TRT found that procedure QI-0AP-11.1-28, Revision 25, Attachment 29 permits less than full thread engagement in threaded plates. This allowance for less than full thread engagement is a potential violation of the ASME Code Section III, NF-7411; no code was invoked to set aside this procedure.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250, 262.
t
- 50. The TRT found that sr#!Jer (shock arrester) adapter-plate bolt threads were insufficiently engaged in all four threaded holes of component support MS-1-416-002-S33R.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
51, The TRT found that a similar lack of full threaded engagement deficiencies on NF supports SI-1-090-006-C41K and CT-1-013-012-S32K.
STAFF RESPCNSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250,
- 52. The TRT found that sight holes were present in the strut body to verify threaded rod engagement. The rod was not visible through the i sight hole for support RC-1-901-702-C825.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 53. The TRT found locking device deficiencies. An example was that sway strut No. AF-1-001-014-S33R had a broken cotter pin.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 54. The TRT found load sides of pipe clamp halves that were not parallel. An example is that clamp halves for pipe supports AF-1-001-S33R and AF-1-001-014-S33R were not parallel.
STAFF RESPONSF: Admit. SeeSSER11;atp.0-250.
l-Q'
- 55. The TRT found pipe clearance outside of allowable tolerance violations. An example of is that pipe support CC-1-126-013-F33R exhi-
bited no clearance on top or bottom, while the hanger drawing called out 0" on the bottom and 1/16" on top.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 56. The TRT found that a similar problem existed for pipe support AF-1-001-702-S33R.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 57. The TRT found that pipe clamp locknuts were loose. An example was that a pipe clamp locknut for pipe support AF-1-035-011-S33R was founo lcose (less than finger-tight).
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit that the pipe clamp locknut for pipe support AF-1-035-011-S33R was found loose. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 58. The TRT found that pipe support CC-1-126-014-F43R exhibited angularity that exceeded requirements.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-250.
- 59. The TRT found that a similar problem existed with pipe support RC-1-052-020-C41R.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. Correct pipe support number, however, is RC-1-052-020-C41K. See SSEP 11 at p. 0-250.
- 60. The TRT found that snubber cold set (AC) dimension did not natch the design drawing. An example was that pipe support CS-1-085-4
F 003-A42K deviated by approximately 1" from the cold set dimension shown on the design drawing.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-251.
- 61. The TRT fcund that support configuration did not match the cesign drawing. An example was that pipe support snubber CT-1-005-004-522K was installed end-to-end opposite from the orientation shown on the drawing.
STAFF RESPONSE: A imi t. See SSER 11 at p. 0-251.
- 62. The TRT fo;nd that a similar problem existed with pipe support CT-1-013-010-522K, where dimensional discrepancies existed on the support drawing that detailed the orientation of the snubber.
STAFF RES,P0NSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-251.
- 63. The TRT found that a component type /model number did not match the design drawing. An example was that model numbers of installed snubbers fer pipe support SI-1-090-006-C41K did not match the model number on the design drawing.
STAFF PESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-251.
- 64. The TRT found that a similar problem existed with pipe support RC-1-052-020-C41R.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-251.
- 65. The TRT found that weld data cards were missing QC initials for welds. An example was that support number CC-1-126-013-F33R had some welds performed with no CC inspector initials or signature on the corresponding blocks of the weld data card for that support inspection package.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit that the weld data card (singular) was missing GC initials. See SSER 11 Attachment 3, p. 4.A.17.
- 66. The TRT found deficiencies in identification of materials and parts. An example was that a replacement part (sway strut eyerod) for pipe support CT-1-013-014-532R had no apparent material identification either on the hardware or in the documentation package for the support.
The Material Identification Loa (MIL) did not list any identification traceable to the origin of the replace part.
STAFF RESPONS,E_: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-251.
- 67. The TRT found that a similar problen existed with pipe supports CI-1-126-012-F33R, CC-X-039-005-F43R, and AF-1-035-011-S33R.
STAFF RESPONSE: Admit. See SSER 11 at p. 0-251.

107. The TRT four.d that installation of certain butt welded valves in three systems required removal of the valve bonnets and internals prior to welding to protect temperature-sensitive parts. The three systems involved were the spent fuel cooling and cleaning systems, the boron recycle system, and the chemical and volume control system. This installation process was poorly controlled in that disassembled parts were piled in uncontrolled arets, resulting in lost, damaged, or inter-changed parts. This practice created the potential for interchanging valve bonnets and internal parts having different pressure and tempera-ture ratings.
