        of Spring Support Settings, paragraph 7.c.
        The licensee did not identify as proprietary any of the materials provided
        to or reviewed by the inspector during this inspection.
    3.  Licensee Action on Previous Enforcement Matters (92702)
        (Closed) Violation 348/85-22-01, Failure to Follow ISI Plan. Alabama Power
        Company's letter of response dated June 5,1985, has been reviewed and
        determined to be acceptable by RII. Based on examination of corrective
        actions as stated in the letter of response and discussions with responsible
        licensee personnel, the inspector concluded that Alabama Power Company had
        determined the full extent of the subject violation, performed the necessary
        survey and followup actions to correct the present conditions, and developed
        the necessary actions to preclude recurrence of similar circumstances. The
        inspector reviewed the following to verify implementation of corrective
'
        actions:
        -
              Corrective Action Report (CAR) No. 997
    '
        -
              FNP-1-STP-157.0, Revision 2, Inservice Inspection of Class 1 and 2
              Systems and Components
        -
              FNP-2-STP-157.0, Revision 2, Inservice Inspection of Class 1 and 2
              Systems and Components
    4.  Unresolved Items (92701)
        Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required to
        determine whether they are acceptable or may involve violations or
        deviations. One new unresolved item identified during this inspection is
        discussed in paragraph 5.a.(4).
    5.  Maintenance Welding and Nondestructive Examination (NDE) (Units 1 and 2)
        The inspector examined the welding and NDE activities described below to
        determine whether applicable regulatory and code requirements were being
        met. In general, the governing code is ASME Section XI,1974 Edition, S75
        Addenda.    For maintenance welding and NDE of ASME Code Classes 1, 2, and 3
        piping and components, the codes listed below apply as implemented by
        Alabama Power Company (APCO) Nuclear Generation Welding Manual (FNP-0-M-023)
        and NDE Program Manual (FNP-0-M-024). These manuals are evoked by site
        procedure FNP-0-AP-12, Revision 4.
        Welding - ASME Section III,1974 Edition, S75 Addenda
                  - ASME section IX, Latest Edition and Addenda
        NDE    - ASME Section V, 1980 Edition, W80 Addenda

      a. Nuclear Welding (55050)
        The inspector examined the following activities relative to the welding
        maintenance program:
        (1) Welding Program - General
              The inspector reviewed the welding program in general as defined
              by the following:
              -    FNP-0-AP-12, Revision 4, " Control of Special Processes During
                  Operations"
              -    FNP-0-M-23, Nuclear Generation Welding Program Manual
              During this review, the inspector noted several areas of weak-
              ness, i.e., areas where the program did not contain sufficient
i            detail. Examples were:
              -
                  Lack of guidance relative to in-process inspections - fitup,
                  welding procedure requirements, final weld size, etc.
              -
                  Insufficient details on material storage and issue
              -
                  Lack of requirements for detailed weld joint record
              -
                  Insufficient details on maintaining status of welder qualification
1
              The licensee pointed out that a new Special Processes Manual, in
              preparation and scheduled for issuance in September 1985, would
              provide much more detail and would strengthen weak areas in the
              welding program.    The inspector briefly reviewed a draft of the
              new manual, and it appears that the manual will greatly improve
              the welding program. Pending review of the new manual after final
              issuance, Inspector Followup Item 348, 364/85-33-01, Review of
              Special Processes Manual, is opened.
        (2) Welding Material Control
              The applicable procedures for welding material control are:
              -
                  FNP-0-AP-12
              -    FNP-0-AP-9, Revision 10      " Procurement and Procurenent
                  Document Control
              -
                  FNP-0-M-23, WP-011, Revision 1, " Welding Procedure for ASME
                  Section III"

  .
                                      4
          Relative to welding material control, the inspector verified that
          -    the licensee had established procedures for purchasing,
                receiving, storing, disbursing and handling of welding
                materials
          -
                welding material storage procedures contained requirements
                for environmental (moisture) control
          -    procedures contain effective measures for limiting moisture
                pickup and maintaining identification after issue to the
                welder
:
          -
                welding material control system meets requirements for the
                most restrictive application
      (3) Welding procedures
          The inspector verified that the licensee had established
          procedures for preparation, qualification, approval, certification
          and issue of welding procedure specifications. The applicable
1          procedures are:
;          -
                FNP-0-M-23 including WP-011
          -
                FNP-0-AP-1, Revision 16 " Development, Review and Approval of
1              Plant Procedures"
      (4) Welder Performance Qualification
2
          The inspector _ verified that the licensee had established
          procedures for qualification of welders.        The applicable
          procedures are:
'
          -
                FNP-0-M-23, WP-011
          -    FNP-0-M-23, WP-030, Revision 1, " Welder Qualification
                Procedure"
          -
                FNP-0-AP-12
          The inspector reviewed original qualification records and
          qualifiction status records for welders F-5, F-9, F-10, and F-12
          who performed welding on the welds listed in paragraph (5) below.
          The inspector noted that the method being used to track welder
          qualification status, the " Performance Qualification Renewal"
          form, precludes verification that welders maintain their qualifi-
          cation by welding with each, process every three months as required
          by ASME Section IX. Actual welding dates are not being entered on
          the fom; the fonn indicates that the welder welded some time
          within a calendar quarter, e.g., 07/01/85 - 09/30/85.        In

: '
                                      discussion of this problem with the licensee, it was also
                                      detennined that the form is being filled out prior to start of the                                                                      '
                                      quarter based on the welder having welded the previous quarter.
                                      Using this system, it is impossible to determine if the welder
:                                    used each process every three months. In addition, the makeup of
I                                    the form indicates that the Maintenance Supervisor, who signs as
'
                                      the " Responsible Supervisor", witnesses the welding. Discussions
                                      revealed that he does not actually witness the welding. It was                                                                          ;
                                      also noted that the Maintenance Supervisors' signature was not
  <
                                    . dated. Due to the questions relative to maintenance of welder
                                      qualification status, the licensee agreed to review past mainte-
                                      nance welding records and determine if welders have welded
.                                    production welds with expired qualifications. Pending evaluation
I                                    of the licensee's review, this matter is considered unresolved and.
!                                      is identified as Unresolved Item 348, 364/85-33-02, Welder
  l                                  Qualification Status Records.
                              (5) Production Welding
.                                      In lieu of observation of welding, the inspector reviewed weld
                                      records consisting of " Weld Process Control Sheets" for the

                                  Paragraph NA-4133.10 of ASME Section III, the applicable code

                                  performed and that the inspections be performed by persons
                                  other than those who performed the activity being examined.
                                  In addition, such persons are not to report directly to the                                      '

                                  than those who performed the activity being inspected.
                                  Paragraph 17.2.10 of the Farley FSAR, which implements
l.                                Appendix B, Criterion X, states that maintenance activity

            c.  During review of the above records, the inspector reviewed the
                  licensce's program for inspection of pipe supports required to be
                  inspected by ASME Section XI.      Inspection data for Unit I spring type
                  hangers, inspected during the last outage (period 3, Outage 1), were
                  reviewed.
                  The inspector found that for Unit I spring hangers "A" on 150 ALA-221
                  and "F" on ISO ALA-218, the support settings were not verified as
                  required by ASME Section XI, Table IWC-2520. Paragraph 3.6.1 of
                  Procedure ISI 8, revision 07, Am. 01, " Visual Examination Procedure",
                  requires that hangers having calibrated load indicators have the scale
                  reading recorded.      Paragraph 4.10 of FNP-1-STP-157.0, Revision 1,
                  " Inservice Inspection of Class 1 and 2 Systems and Components",
                  requires that support settings of constant and variable spring type
                  hangers be verified. This failure to verify support setting is in
                  violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, and is identified as
                  Violation 348/85-33-05, Failure to' Follow Procedures for Verification
                  of Spring Support Settings. ,The inspector noted that although the
                  licensee's procedures and QA program had been violated, the ASME Code
                  had not been violated at the-time the violation was found. ASME
                  Section XI requires that the supports in question be inspected during
                  the third 40 month period. Since or.ly th'e 1st outage of the period has
                  passed, the settings can be verified during a future outage prior to
                  expiration of the period. However, it is not certain that the licensee
                  would have caught the omission had the inspector not reviewed the
                  records.
"
            Within the areas inspected, one violation was identified. No deviations were
            identified.
