6 DUKE POWER COMPANY CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION Response to Infraction 413-414/80-11-02

" Inadequate procedure for the inspection of safety-related electrical cables."

Infraction As required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion V and implemented by the Catawba PSAR paragraph 17.1.5.2, " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures ... and shall be accom-plished in accordance with those instructions, procedures ..." The PSAR Paragraph 8.3.1.1.6.b states, "All interconnecting wiring and cabling will be inspected for proper installation and connections" and Procedure M40 Revision 6, dated July 6, 1979 states in paragraph 2, "This procedure l

'

covers the insta11.ation and documentation of all nuclear safety-related 3 cables. The Duke Power Company Topical QA Program Report lA states in

,

Table 17.0-1 that the program will conform to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.30

!

which endorse ANSI N45.2.4. ANSI N45.2.4, Paragraph 5.1.1 states in part i " Inspections to verify correctness of installation ... shall include ...

verification of ... tightness of connections ... and terminations."

Contrary to the above, on May 27, 1980, the following items were identified:

1. Procedure M40 was not being implemented. However, Supplemental l Inspection Instruction (SSI) M41B serial 15, Revision 0 dated August ,

28, 1979, is being used. The SSI M41B serial 15 states that "The l frequency of the termination inspection shall be weekly for a period of not less than one-half of a work shift. This procedure downgrades the termination inspection program below the requirements of M40 and the PSAR in that all cables will not receive a termination inspection.

2. SSI M41B Serial 15 states in Paragraph 3, " Visually verify that the cabic armor and shields have been properly terminated and grounded in accordance with CNS 1390.01-00-0035. This inspection shall be limited to that which can be observed after the cable has been terminated with-out dismantling the connector." The tightness of connections and terminations cannot be verified by this method. This procedure is inadequate.

Response

Duke Power Company inspection instructions will be revised to reflect an inspection of all interconnecting wiring and cabling for proper in-stallation and connections. Revised inspection requirements will be fully implemented by August 25, 1980.

DUKE POWER COMPANY CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION Response to Infraction 413-414/80-11-05

" Construction Electrical Test Program" Infraction As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI and implemented by the Duke Power Company Topical QA Program Report 1-A, "a test program shall be established ... and performed in accordance with written test procedures . ..

test results shall be documented and evaluated ..." The Topical Report states in Table 17.0-1 that the program will conform-to RG 1.30 which endorses ANSI N45.2.4. ANSI N45.2.4, Paragraph 5.2 states in part,

" Surveillance of construction activities shall include tests performed in accordance with written test procedures.

Contrary to the above, on May 27, 1980, the licensee was performing a circuit test without a procedure.

Response

i I A construction procedure will be written to provide requirements for circuit testing. Procedure will be fully Laplemented by August 25, 1980.
