Thisportionincludedthewalluniqueidentification numberandorientation ofthewallasshownonthedesigndrawings.

Reference wasmadetothemasterreference drawing(BCS)showingthewall,andadescription oftheplantlocation, including

llUponcompletion of,thePhaseIportionoftheinspection datasheets,thefieldinspection programorPhaseIIportionwasimplemented.

Inspectors performing PhaseIIfieldinspections wereEbascodesignorengineering personnel, familiarwith,powerplantoperation andsafety-related equipment identification.

Theinspectors werebriefed.documented, certified, inaccordance withInspection Procedure FLO128-4.800.

ThePhaseIIfieldinspection consisted oflocatingeachwallidentified onthemasterreference drawings.

Afterlocationofeachwall.,aninspection wasmadewithaJamesElectronics R-Meter,toverifytheexistence ofverticalreinforcing rebarand/orhorizontal reinforcing Dur-O-Wal, ifcalledforinthedesignconstruction drawings.

Thisinspection wasasamplingverif-icationtodetermine theexistence ofatleastoneverticalreinforced rebarcolumnand.-twohorizontal reinforced Dur-0-Wal joints.Afterfur'therfieldverification ofwallthickness andcomposition (whereverifiable),

theappro--.priatesectionoftheinspection datasheetwaschecked.

r 6-Following this,aninspection ofeachwallwasmadetodetermine iftherewasanysafety-related equipment mountedorincloseproximity ofthewall.Thisequipment

included, butwasnotlimitedto,safety-related pipingandsupports, conduit,cables,electrical boxes,pumps,heatexchangers andinstrumentation.

Forthepurposeofthisinspection, "closeproximity" wasdefinedas:i)adis-tanceequaltoapproximately.

Uponthedetermination thatnosafety-related equipment wasattached, orincloseproximity toawall,theinspection datasheetwasmarked"notSafety-Related"andsignedoff,withnofurtherverification required.
