                  2.    Tagging Status of Equipment - Unit 2 (50071)
                        Numerous procedures on the site required tagging to reflect the correct
                        status of the items tagged. During the inspection in the "B" Isolation
                        Valve Cubicles (IVC), five instances were observed by the NRC inspectors
                        where the tagging on valves and components did not reflect the current
                        status of the tagged equipment. The observed incorrect tagging is listed
.''                    below:
                        *        One tag indicated a valve to be temporarily installed. The valve was
                                  permanently installed.                                                                    ,
                        *        Two tags indicated parts were removed or to be removed and had been
                                  on the equipment for three years. The required action was found to
                                  be abandoned.

                                            ,0ne. gate valve was found with only the body intact in the line.              No
                                              status or tagging was on or near the valve.
                                              One secondary system hydrostatic test tag was observed which should
                                              have been removed before the primary hydrostatic test was perfonned.
                                      During the review of the procedures, the NRC inspector concluded that
                                      clarification in some instances was needed for removal and change of
                                      status.          This problem could be a plant generic problem. The licensee's
                                      failure to maintain current status tags on equipment (tags that were
                                      invalid or did not correctly identify the status of components) is an
                                      apparent violation (499/8824-01) of NRC requirements and licensee
                                      commitments.                          ,

                                  3.  Cable protection - Unit 2 (51065 and 51063)
                                      During the inspection of the "B" Isolation Valve Cubicle on April 20
                                      and 21, 1988, and previous inspections of the electrical switchgear rooms
                                      in the electrical auxiliary buildin
                                      there were numerous (more than instances        25) g, the of
                                                                                                  NRC    inspectors
                                                                                                      failure          observed
                                                                                                              to install cable that
                                      softeners over the sharp edges on some of the cable trays. The sharp edges
                                      on cable trays were observed in the cable trays where electrical cables
                                      were routed from one cable tray to another cable tray. Licensee procedures
                                      are clear concerning this item. The NRC inspection results indicated that
                                      failure to install cable softeners could be a generic plant problem. The
                                      licensee's failure to provide cable softeners, where required, to preclude
                                      damage -to electrical cableijacket material is an apparent violation
                                      (499/8824-02) of NRC requirements and licensee coninitments.
                                  4.  Followup on Licensee Reported Significant Construction Deficiencies
                                      (10 CFR 50.55(e)) (36100 and 92/00)
                                      (Closed) Incident Review Committee (IRC) No. 398
                                      This item involved a finding that if the standby diesel generator (SDG)
                                      was being operated in the testing mode and a loss of offsite power (LOOP)
                                      occurred, the electrical supply breakers to the 480 VAC load centers would
                                      be tripped. Then, since the SDG would be running at design speed, the
                                      breakers would be signaled to close shortly thereaf ter. The signal to
                                      close prior to full spring recharge would cause the antipump feature on
                                      the electrical supply breakers to the 480 VAC loads to lock out the
                                      breakers. The breaker lockout would prevent energizing of all 480 VAC
                                        loads connected to the affected train.
                                      Configuration control package (CCP) 2-E-ST-833, Revision 0, dated
                                      August 20, 1987, was issued to add an Agastat relay (6-second setting) in
                                        the LOOP control circuit f rom the sequencer to ensure that the DG breaker
                                        does not close until the 480 VAC circuit breaker closing springs are
                              ,
                                        cha rged. Site electrical discipline personnel had been reinstructed in
                                        the proper design methods assnciated with conditions to prevent
                                        recurrence. This item is considered closed.

                                This item involved a finding that some motor shaft-to-pinion gear keys
                                sheared (failed) in Limitorque Model SMB-0-25 operators. The shearing of
                                the keys was apparently due to'the keys being machined from incorrect or
                                defective material. Twelve motor shaft-to-pinion gear keys in valve                                                              ,
                                operators in Unit 2 (Deficiency Evaluation Report 87-046) were replaced
                                with keys manufactured from AISI 1018 steel. According to the material

                                This item involved the failure of tubes in the component cooling
                                water (CCW)heatexchangers. The tube failures resulted from shell side
                                flow induced vibrations. Design modifications to the heat exchangers were
  o                              required to prevent further damage. In each CCW, 30 tubes were removed in
                                the areas above and below the impingment plate. Two hundred sixty-four
                                tubes were rodded with steel rods inserted to dampen vibration ar.d to
                                decrease the vibration level in the adjacent inboard tubes. The vacated
                                tube sheet holes and the rodded tubes were plugged with plugs manufactured
                              .
                                from aluminum bronze material (similar to and compatible with the
                                tubesheet cladding and essential cooling water (ECW) piping materials).

                                the heat exchanger tubes have been recalculated for the modified condition
                                of the heat exchangers. The seismic qualification and the weight increase
                                due to the modification of the heat exchangers have been reevaluated.

                  This item involved an 8-inch pneumatic operated butterfly-valve that was
                  found to "fall closed" instead of "fail open" during system testing
                  (system flush) in Unit 2. Nonconformance Report (NCR) SN-03566 was
                  dispositioned to change couplings on the pneumatic operator. The
                  . replacement of those couplings changed the failure position from "close"
                  to "open." The licensee checked pneumatic operated butterfly valves of
                  similar design to assure that correct couplings had been installed. No
                  other valves have failed in an incorrect position.    This item is

                  This , item involved loose valve-shaft-to-actuator keys on motor operated
                  valves (M0Vs). During performance of preventive maintenance on MOVs in
                  the reactor containment building, the electrical maintenance division
                  found that keys used to key the motor actuator to the valve stem on
                  butterfly valves were loose or out of place on some MOVs. The licensee
                  identified the manufacturer of these 12- and 16-inch diameter butterfly
                                                -
                  valves. The licensee identified a total of 42 M0Vs to be inspected for
                  icose or missing keys in the keyways. The licensee replaced the loose -
                  keys with "snug tight" keys in the respective keyways. The licensee also
  .
                  followed up on an NRC issued Information Notice (IEN) 85-67,
                  "Valve-Shaft-to-Actuator Key May Fall Out of Place When Mounted Below

                      d.    Weld Inspection of Reactor Vent Piping
                            The NRC inspector performed an inspection of the 1-inch piping from
                            the near center of the reactor vessel head including two manual
                            relief gate valves and the balance of piping, including the four
                            Target Rock solenoid operated relief valves. The Target Rock valves
                            were identified by their respective serial numbers: 103, 105, 108,
                            and 110. The inspection determined that the weld quality and the
                            installed piping and valve configurations were in accordance with
                            design and construction requirements. No indications of damage or
                            inadequate installation were identified. Visual inspections of
                            weldin'; and general installation indicated that the welding,
                            components, and reactor vessel; closure head were in satisfactory
                            condition.

                      and inspection personnel associated with the reactor vessel, reactor
                      vessel closure head, and internals had been trained and qualified to
                      perform the designated tasks. The licensee had developed appropriate and,          '-
                      adequate procedures. These procedures assured that activities associated
                      with the reactor vessel, reactor vessel closure head, and internals were
        "
                      controlled and performed in accordance with NRC requirements and SAR
                      commitments-(SAR Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, and 17 and the codes and standirds
                      referenced in these SAR Chap;ers).
                      These procedures included precautions to preclude damage or mishandling of
                      equipment and components.    The installation of the reactor vessel
                      internals and the reactor vessel closure head were properly addressed.
                      No violations or deviations,were identified.
                    8. Standby Diesel Generator Expansion Seals (Bellows) Replacement - Unit 2
                      (50073)
                      During the licensee's prerequisite testing (initial startup) of the "A"
                      SDG, leaks were discovered in cylinder liner expansion seals (bellows) on
                      cylinders 10R, SR, 2L, 3L, and 4L. Each of the three Unit 2 SDGs is a
                      V-type, 20 cylinder, Model KSV, manufactured by Cooper-Bessemer.
                      These bellows are designed to allow the cylinder liners to expand and
                      contract. The bellows are a cooling water jacket pressure boundary
                      secondary seal between the cylinder liners and the cylinder block. The
                      secondary seal prevents jacket water cooling system fluid from entering
                .      the diesel lube oil sump. The primary seal is the metal to metal contact
l                      of the liner to the engine block.
L                      The NRC inspectors performed 19 separate inspections during the expansion
                      seals (bellows) removal and replacement activities on the "A" SDG. The
                      NRC inspectors visually inspected all 20 of the bellows that were removed
                      for replacement by contractnr personnel. Visual inspection by the NRC
l
                      inspectors verified that the bellows removed from cylinder 10R- had a
l                      through wall hole about 1/4 inch in diameter and that the bellows removed
I                      from cylinders SR, 2L, 3L, and 4L had through wall pin holes. Replacement
l                      of all 20 bellows on "A" SDG and related work activities was completed by
                      the contractor on April 22, 1988.
,
                      The licensee shipped the two bellows that were removed from cylinders 10R        i
!                      and 10L to the Bechtel Material Laboratory for analysis. The analysis
                      reported that both bellows exhibited evidence of Microbiological Induced
              '
                      Corrosion (MIC) and trar,sgranular stress corrosion cracking.
                    ,
                      The licensee prepared a detailed report for submittal to the NRC. The
                      licensee's report was submitted to the NRC on May 11, 1988. This report
                      discussed the discovery of MIC in the jacket water cooling systems, piping

  '
                                    The NRC inspector performed an inspection of safety related piping to
                                    assess the licensee's program for welding off-site fabricated spool pieces
                                    into completed systems and to determine the adequacy of inspection to the

'
                              The NRC inspectors visually examined the pi)ing systems for correct
                              length, size, and configuration. The pipe langers were inspected for
                ,            location, configuration, welding, and hanger type. The valves were              "
                              examined for data plate information, identification, visual damage,
                              installation assured flow in the proper direction, and general
                              condition.
    '
                              The NRC inspectors determined that the two piping systems inspected
                              had been installed in accordance with the procedures and drawings,
                          b.  Record Review
                              The NRC inspectors reviewed the code data packages for the spool
                              pieces and valves in the safety-related portions of two systems (main
                              steam and feedwater) inspected. The following records were found to
                              be properly stored, retrievable, and representative of this
                              particular segment of the installation.

                              No violations or deviations were identified during the inspection of
                                the piping systems. However, the inspection was expanded to include
                                construction activities in the "B" IVC, and the results of the
                                inspection are documented in paragraph 10 below.
                    10. Housekeeping - Unit 2 (50073 and 49063)
                          During an inpsection of the ICV's, the NRC inspectors observed excessive
                          amounts of construction debris, abandoned tools, and various supplies

April 22, 1988. ,

2. Tagging Status of Equipment - Unit 2 (50071)

Numerous procedures on the site required tagging to reflect the correct

status of the items tagged. During the inspection in the "B" Isolation

Valve Cubicles (IVC), five instances were observed by the NRC inspectors

where the tagging on valves and components did not reflect the current

status of the tagged equipment. The observed incorrect tagging is listed

. below:

  • One tag indicated a valve to be temporarily installed. The valve was

permanently installed. ,

  • Two tags indicated parts were removed or to be removed and had been

on the equipment for three years. The required action was found to

be abandoned.

,0ne. gate valve was found with only the body intact in the line. No

status or tagging was on or near the valve.

One secondary system hydrostatic test tag was observed which should

have been removed before the primary hydrostatic test was perfonned.

During the review of the procedures, the NRC inspector concluded that

clarification in some instances was needed for removal and change of

status. This problem could be a plant generic problem. The licensee's

failure to maintain current status tags on equipment (tags that were

invalid or did not correctly identify the status of components) is an

apparent violation (499/8824-01) of NRC requirements and licensee

commitments. ,

,

3. Cable protection - Unit 2 (51065 and 51063)

During the inspection of the "B" Isolation Valve Cubicle on April 20

and 21, 1988, and previous inspections of the electrical switchgear rooms

in the electrical auxiliary buildin

there were numerous (more than instances 25) g, the of

NRC inspectors

failure observed

to install cable that

softeners over the sharp edges on some of the cable trays. The sharp edges

on cable trays were observed in the cable trays where electrical cables

were routed from one cable tray to another cable tray. Licensee procedures

are clear concerning this item. The NRC inspection results indicated that

failure to install cable softeners could be a generic plant problem. The

licensee's failure to provide cable softeners, where required, to preclude

damage -to electrical cableijacket material is an apparent violation

(499/8824-02) of NRC requirements and licensee coninitments.

4. Followup on Licensee Reported Significant Construction Deficiencies

(10 CFR 50.55(e)) (36100 and 92/00)

(Closed) Incident Review Committee (IRC) No. 398

This item involved a finding that if the standby diesel generator (SDG)

was being operated in the testing mode and a loss of offsite power (LOOP)

occurred, the electrical supply breakers to the 480 VAC load centers would

be tripped. Then, since the SDG would be running at design speed, the

breakers would be signaled to close shortly thereaf ter. The signal to

close prior to full spring recharge would cause the antipump feature on

the electrical supply breakers to the 480 VAC loads to lock out the

breakers. The breaker lockout would prevent energizing of all 480 VAC

loads connected to the affected train.

Configuration control package (CCP) 2-E-ST-833, Revision 0, dated

August 20, 1987, was issued to add an Agastat relay (6-second setting) in

the LOOP control circuit f rom the sequencer to ensure that the DG breaker

does not close until the 480 VAC circuit breaker closing springs are

,

cha rged. Site electrical discipline personnel had been reinstructed in

the proper design methods assnciated with conditions to prevent

recurrence. This item is considered closed.

(Closed) IRC No. 400 ,

This item involved concerns related to inadequate cooling of the Unit 2

~

high voltage cubicle panels for the SDG. HL&P completed and installed a

design, modification to provide additional cooling for the Unit ~2 SDG "

panels. A 100-hour test run of the SDG was completed successfully. No

recurrence of overheating conditions were observed. This item is-

considered closed.

(Closed) IRC No. 402

This item involved a finding that some motor shaft-to-pinion gear keys

sheared (failed) in Limitorque Model SMB-0-25 operators. The shearing of

the keys was apparently due to'the keys being machined from incorrect or

defective material. Twelve motor shaft-to-pinion gear keys in valve ,

operators in Unit 2 (Deficiency Evaluation Report 87-046) were replaced

with keys manufactured from AISI 1018 steel. According to the material

specifications, AISI 1018 steel is the correct material. This item is

.

considered closed.

(Closed) IRC No. 403

This item involved Class 1E electrical cable splices which utilize Raychem

^ insulation material and which had been identified as nonconforming after

final QA-acceptance. Three different problem areas were identified by the

licensee. The licensee reviewed the completed cables and terminations; '

reviewed a computer resort of cables and terminations to validate previous

data; reviewed data on electrical penetration termination cards to assure

that electrical splices to electrical penetrations had been reinspected;

reviewed the transfer of data from master splice lists to the reinspection

data lists to identify any omissions; and reviewed the qualifications and

. work performed by off-project Bechtel personnel to assure that the

methodology and reviews had been performed correctly. This item is

considered closed.

(Closed) IRC No. 408

This item involved the failure of tubes in the component cooling

water (CCW)heatexchangers. The tube failures resulted from shell side

flow induced vibrations. Design modifications to the heat exchangers were

o required to prevent further damage. In each CCW, 30 tubes were removed in

the areas above and below the impingment plate. Two hundred sixty-four

tubes were rodded with steel rods inserted to dampen vibration ar.d to

decrease the vibration level in the adjacent inboard tubes. The vacated

tube sheet holes and the rodded tubes were plugged with plugs manufactured

.

from aluminum bronze material (similar to and compatible with the

tubesheet cladding and essential cooling water (ECW) piping materials).

1he ECW flow (design flow rate was 15,000 gpm) and pressure drop through

the heat exchanger tubes have been recalculated for the modified condition

of the heat exchangers. The seismic qualification and the weight increase

due to the modification of the heat exchangers have been reevaluated.

Other safety-related heat exchangers have been evaluated to determine if

any of these heat exchangers would be susceptible to the problems observed

in the CCW heat exchangers. None of the heat exchangers evaluated were

'

found to be susceptible to these identified problems. The changes that

have been made to the CCW heat exchangers to resolve the vibration induced

problems do not alter previous FSAR commitments. This item is considered

closed.

(Closed) IRC No. 410

This item involved an 8-inch pneumatic operated butterfly-valve that was

found to "fall closed" instead of "fail open" during system testing

(system flush) in Unit 2. Nonconformance Report (NCR) SN-03566 was

dispositioned to change couplings on the pneumatic operator. The

. replacement of those couplings changed the failure position from "close"

to "open." The licensee checked pneumatic operated butterfly valves of

similar design to assure that correct couplings had been installed. No

other valves have failed in an incorrect position. This item is

considered closed.

(Closed) IRC No. 411

This , item involved loose valve-shaft-to-actuator keys on motor operated

valves (M0Vs). During performance of preventive maintenance on MOVs in

the reactor containment building, the electrical maintenance division

found that keys used to key the motor actuator to the valve stem on

butterfly valves were loose or out of place on some MOVs. The licensee

identified the manufacturer of these 12- and 16-inch diameter butterfly

-

valves. The licensee identified a total of 42 M0Vs to be inspected for

icose or missing keys in the keyways. The licensee replaced the loose -

keys with "snug tight" keys in the respective keyways. The licensee also

.

followed up on an NRC issued Information Notice (IEN) 85-67,

"Valve-Shaft-to-Actuator Key May Fall Out of Place When Mounted Below

' Horizontal Axis" and an NRC Circular (IEC), "Valve-Shaft-to-Actuator Key

May Fall Out of Place When Mounted Below Horizontal Axis." This item is

considered closed.

No violations or deviations were identified.

5. 10 CFR Part 21 Reporting (36100)

An inspection and review of site documents was initiated by the NRC

inspector to verify that the requirements included in 10 CFR Part 21 were

being adhered to and that licensee documentation and implementation of the

10 CFR Part 21 process functioned as required by NRC regulations and

licensee commitments. The licensee controls were adequate to assure that

the reporting, disposition, evaluation, and records management met NRC

requirements and licensee commitments.

b. Installed Reactor Vessel Protection

The installed reactor vessel was being protected in accordance with

approved pr_ocedures. A protective covering over the top of the

reactor vessel assured that foreign objects and debris would not fall

into the reactor vessel. Personnel access into the covered reactor

vessel was controlled. No personnel entryway into the reactor vessel

was provided through to the covering over the reactor vessel into the

'

reactor vessel.

c. Installation of Reactor Vessel Closure Head Components

The NRC inspectors verified that the reactor vessel closure head

assembly disconnect devices and the instnament port columns were

installed in accordance with approved procedures and the following

drawings:

  • CE E 12173-101-003, "Closure Head Assembly," Revision 3, dated

d. Weld Inspection of Reactor Vent Piping

The NRC inspector performed an inspection of the 1-inch piping from

the near center of the reactor vessel head including two manual

relief gate valves and the balance of piping, including the four

Target Rock solenoid operated relief valves. The Target Rock valves

were identified by their respective serial numbers: 103, 105, 108,

and 110. The inspection determined that the weld quality and the

installed piping and valve configurations were in accordance with

design and construction requirements. No indications of damage or

inadequate installation were identified. Visual inspections of

weldin'; and general installation indicated that the welding,

components, and reactor vessel; closure head were in satisfactory

condition.

e. Review of Data Packages

'

s The NRC inspectors reviewed the data packages for the two manually

operated globe valves and for each of the four solenoid operated

globe valves. The solenoid valves were manufactured by Target Rock.

These six valves and the associated piping were designed to meet the

prinary system requirements, including design operating pressure of

2485 psig and 650 F. The results of the review of the-data packages

for the four Target Rock manufactured solenoid valves.are as follows:

Component Material Spec. No. Material

Body ASME SA 182 SS316L

Bonnet ASME CA 479 SS316

Disc ASME SA 564 SS17-4ph

e tube

The data packages for these'six valves were complete and contained

,

the information required by ASME, Westinghouse, and the licensee to

fully document the material, testing, welding., and inspections

performed on each of these six valves. The data packages also met

the requirements stated in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.88, "Collection,

Storage and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plant Quality Assurance

Records."

f. Procedure and SAR Review

'

The NRC inspectors determined that the inspection, installation, and

wiring in progress were in accordance with licensee approved

procedures and the SAR (Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, and 17, including

appropriate codes and standards referenced in these SAR Chapters).

g. _ Containment Vessel Housekeeping

The licensee was adhering to the recommendations stated in RG 1.39,

"Housekeeping Requirements for Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants" in

the general area of the reactor vessel internals and reactor vessel

head laydown areas.

No violations or deviations were identified.

and inspection personnel associated with the reactor vessel, reactor

vessel closure head, and internals had been trained and qualified to

perform the designated tasks. The licensee had developed appropriate and, '-

adequate procedures. These procedures assured that activities associated

with the reactor vessel, reactor vessel closure head, and internals were

"

controlled and performed in accordance with NRC requirements and SAR

commitments-(SAR Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, and 17 and the codes and standirds

referenced in these SAR Chap;ers).

These procedures included precautions to preclude damage or mishandling of

equipment and components. The installation of the reactor vessel

internals and the reactor vessel closure head were properly addressed.

No violations or deviations,were identified.

8. Standby Diesel Generator Expansion Seals (Bellows) Replacement - Unit 2

(50073)

During the licensee's prerequisite testing (initial startup) of the "A"

SDG, leaks were discovered in cylinder liner expansion seals (bellows) on

cylinders 10R, SR, 2L, 3L, and 4L. Each of the three Unit 2 SDGs is a

V-type, 20 cylinder, Model KSV, manufactured by Cooper-Bessemer.

These bellows are designed to allow the cylinder liners to expand and

contract. The bellows are a cooling water jacket pressure boundary

secondary seal between the cylinder liners and the cylinder block. The

secondary seal prevents jacket water cooling system fluid from entering

. the diesel lube oil sump. The primary seal is the metal to metal contact

l of the liner to the engine block.

L The NRC inspectors performed 19 separate inspections during the expansion

seals (bellows) removal and replacement activities on the "A" SDG. The

NRC inspectors visually inspected all 20 of the bellows that were removed

for replacement by contractnr personnel. Visual inspection by the NRC

l

inspectors verified that the bellows removed from cylinder 10R- had a

l through wall hole about 1/4 inch in diameter and that the bellows removed

I from cylinders SR, 2L, 3L, and 4L had through wall pin holes. Replacement

l of all 20 bellows on "A" SDG and related work activities was completed by

the contractor on April 22, 1988.

,

The licensee shipped the two bellows that were removed from cylinders 10R i

! and 10L to the Bechtel Material Laboratory for analysis. The analysis

reported that both bellows exhibited evidence of Microbiological Induced

'

Corrosion (MIC) and trar,sgranular stress corrosion cracking.

,

The licensee prepared a detailed report for submittal to the NRC. The

licensee's report was submitted to the NRC on May 11, 1988. This report

discussed the discovery of MIC in the jacket water cooling systems, piping

length, size, and configuration. The pipe langers were inspected for

, location, configuration, welding, and hanger type. The valves were "

examined for data plate information, identification, visual damage,

installation assured flow in the proper direction, and general

condition.

'

The NRC inspectors determined that the two piping systems inspected

had been installed in accordance with the procedures and drawings,

b. Record Review

The NRC inspectors reviewed the code data packages for the spool

pieces and valves in the safety-related portions of two systems (main

steam and feedwater) inspected. The following records were found to

be properly stored, retrievable, and representative of this

particular segment of the installation.
