WPPSS NUCLEAR PROJECT NO. 2 NRC INSPECTION - FEBRUARY 27-28, MARCH 1-2, AND MARCH 14-16, 1979 DOCKET NUMBER 50-397
References:

Dear Hr. Engelken:
C As requested in reference letter, we are implementing additional and immediate actions required to assure that ongoing construction activities are accomplished according to qual i ty requi rements.
Since our Hay 1978 conference, we have initiated actions to strengthen the WPPSS and the contractors gA Proqrams. However, we still have a need for continuing and increased attention in the following areas:
'1. Responsibility of Project Managers, Construction Managers and Supervisors for enforcement of job quality requirements.
- 2. Improve contractor training and the problem feedback'loop to firstline personnel .
- 3. Improve preplanning to prepare contractors before commencement of guality Class I work.
- 4. Streamline contractor procedures to eliminate overly complex and unnecessary requirements.
VQOVO39g72P
Nuclear Regulatory Commission c, pi Page 2 Some of our major actions, planned or underway, to address these specific areas and our overall gA Program are listed below:
We have initiated a detailed assessment and evaluation of our "guality Assurance Proqram Corrective I'1easures," submitted to you by letter of September 1, 1978, in response to our Hay-June 1978 enforcement conferences.
Target for completion of the evaluation and followup plan of action is
~37 31. 1979.
- 2. The Assistant Director-Projects has initiated a program of periodic reindoctrination of Project Hanagers and their Construction t1anagers and Supervisors for enforcement of job quality requirements.
- 3. WPPSS will instigate the training of craft supervisors and management:
of'elected major WNP-2 contractors. The training module for craft supervision is one specially prepared by our architect-engineer for foreman level. Target date for completion of this module is August 1979.
4, We are now reviewing with WNP-2 contractors their system for problems feedback to crafts and firstline inspectors. We will improve the system where necessary. Expected completion date is June 1979.
Before any new guality Class I work coranences, WNP-2 Construction ttanagement will ask for a gA audit to generally review the readiness. Work will not be allowed to except in contractors'verall proceed areas not affected by the review and audit findings. 'hose
- 6. Because we have been concerned about the adequacy of our for controlling their gA records, we have just audited their contractors'rogram programs and will improve them where necessary. We have personnel assigned tor ongoing review of records. To gain the necessary assurances, we, have assigned and located document review personnel at three of the critical contractors'ocument control areas. On Contract 215, our Construction management has been directing an effort to transfer documents from the field to the records vault.
- 7. In support of our Construction Management-Systems Completion Group, we have established a guality Completion Grqup with Project gA. The latter group will support Systems Completion and Startup by timely identification and resolution of inspection backlogs and quality-related deficiencies.
- 8. On Contract 216, Waldinger has replaced its Project Manager and gA )1anager and we are demanding their highest corporate attention to solve the gA problems. We are having weekly Project t1anagement meetings with them on gA problems. A joint Project-Contractor Task Force of Engineering/
Construction/gA-gC personnel has been started to speed up inspection backlogs. By June 1979, we plan to review and streamline Contract 216 procedures to delete overly complex and unnecessary requirements.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
( c~ Page 3 He are also having weekly Project f1anagement meetings with Contract 220 (Johnson Controls) on quality problems and are .expediting their program impl'ementation. We took stop work actions in April in two areas where existing procedures were inadequate. By June 1979, we plan to review and streamline contractor procedures to delete overly complex and unnecessary requirements.
- 10. You are aware that our efforts significantly improved the Contractor's
'A Program over the last one-year period. Because of the 215 size, importance and past history of the 215 Contract, we will continue to give this contract our close attention including improvement of hanger inspection backlogs.
If you have any questions or desire further information, please advise.
V ery truly yours,

The pipe support installation/inspection program up to May, 1978 was found to be seriously deficient and was the subject of 9 items of noncompliance during Dec.
1977-May 1978, indicating prior quality controls were not effective. (IE Inspection Reports 50-397/77-07, 78-03, 80-06).
HVAC installation (including safety related portions) up through 1978 was found by the licensee to be sufficiently deficient to require a 100/ reinspection.
(IE Inspection Report 50-397/79-04)
In 1978, the licensee found piping contractor welding procedures to have nontraceable test results and other problems requiring "re-qualification" of all procedures.

CONCERN EXAMPLES Timeliness of identification NRC identified a concern on the seismic qualification of of .problems to site and electrical conduit clamping devices in October 1978. As licensee headquarters of April 1980, the licensee has still not determined which management, and timeliness clamping devices will perform to seismic requirements.
of response to problems. Some steps were taken in January 1980 and April 1980 to restrict the type of clamping device to those which show the most promise in meeting seismic testing requirements; however, many devices installed between 10/78 and 1/80 may require reinspection/replacement. (IE Inspection Reports 50-397/78.-10) 78-11, 79-04, 79-09, 80-06)
Electrical separation requirements has been an NRC concern since October 1978. The licensee's requirements in this area have been changed by the licensee but were not formally submitted to NRR as of April 18, 1980. The latest set of requirements do not appear to comply with current industry standards and have the potential for resulting in significant rework if disapproved by NRR.
NRC: RV concerns with the new cr iter ia have been for-warded to IE:Hg for submittal to NRR.
Environmental qualification of electrical components has been an NRC concern since March 1979. While the licensee has been active in this area the actions have not been completed. (IE Inspection Report 50-397/
79-04).
In August 1979, the NRC pointed out an inconsistency between the PSAR and the 215 contractor's inspector qualification procedure. As of February 1980, no effective action had been taken. (IE Inspection Reports 50-397/79-14, 80-04).

CONCERN EXAMPLES Thoroughness in performing Licensee management was advised by their contractor evaluations of problems. of problems with the sacrificial shield wall in November, 1978. A corrective action plan was developed and implemented in March, 1979. In June, 1979, the NRC received allegations concerning the wall. Investigation at that time established that validity of Leckenby sacrificial shield wall records was in question (a thorough licensee evaluation during November, 1978 to March, 1979 should have identified this concern). In July, 1979, the licensee's corrective action program was expanded to include a quality review of the Leckenby program.
This review was effectively completed by November 30, 1979 without identifying significant problems in Leckenby gA program, which were identified by the NRC investigation of 11/27/79 to 2/28/80. In addition, in October, 1979, the NRC identified that licensee's engineering review for structural acceptability of the wall (which started in March, 1979) was being performed on an incomplete data base (engineers were plotting/extrapolating typical wall defects in lieu of all actual known defects).
(IE Inspection Reports 50-397/79-12, 79-13, 79-16, 80-04)
Licensee reported major defects in Leckenby electro-slag welds for certain pipe whip restraint brackets in a 50.55(e) item in March, 1979. Of the 45 brack-ets fabricated 20 had to be completely rebuilt, 14 were repaired, and 11 were found acceptable. The licensee's evaluation of the problem failed to address other electroslag welding done by the same contractor for WNP-2 (i.e., the sacrificial shield wall and pipe whip restraints) which turned out to have significant welding deficiencies as well as major quality problems. A thorough evaluation should have surfaced many of the Leckenby problems later identified by the NRC. (IE Inspection Reports 50-397/79-06, 79-12, 79-13, 79-16, 80-04).
Although the licensee has Refer to item 2 above for examples.
made significant improvements in training with their g-Tips program, further improvement is warranted in the licensee's program for personnel training and problem feedback in view of the repetitive nature of several items of noncompliance during the past year.
