This special, announced inspection was conducted at TVA's Sequoyah Nuclear Plant site. The inspection was performed to review and evaluate 13 Employee Concern Task Group (ECTG) final Sequoyah Element Reports, in the categories of Construction and Materials Control, to determine accuracy and adequacy of content and conclusions. No inspections of hardware to verify concerns or corrective acticns were performed by the NRC inspector Five of the final Element Reports were evaluated to be satisfactory as written; five were evaluated as requiring revision or other written explanation to clarify or add details. Three reports were insufficiently reviewed by the NRC inspectors to determine their adequacy which will be evaluated in a future inspectio Results:

No violations or deviations were identifie {DR ADOCK 05000327 PDR

4. Discussion and Observations

,

The following observations were made on the Element Reports: C0 10603-SQN, Rev. 3 " Bolting Material Compatibility" The three concerns in this element were adequately evaluated, both in depth and detail, and the recommended corrective actions, consisting of inspecting all stainless steel flanged connections in systems

containing boric acid and the replacement of carbon steel bolts with

-

stainless steel bolts, are also adequat C0 11103-SQN, Rev. 5 " Method Used During Construction" The evaluation performed by the ECTG of the concerns, relating to snubbers and auxiliary steel, was adequate in depth, detail and scope and the corrective actions recommended in the element report are adequat C0 11203-SQN, Rev. 3 " Electrical Fuse Identification" The TVA investigation of the concern was appropriate and their resolution of the concern as described in the element report is adequat C0 11206-SQN, Rev. 1 " Unauthorized / Undocumented Work" The element report contains adequate depth and detail regarding procedural aspects and no further action is required in this regar The element report, and the NSRS report, do not identify the root l cause of the problem, i.e., why the CI refused to sign the as-built l drawings. The reports show no attempts to discover whether the

,

concern was isolated or general. The reports do not show the magni-i tude of the concern in terms of the number of drawings that the CI i refused to sig The position, education, training and experience of the concerned individual should be explicitly described, his reasons for refusing to sign the drawings thoroughly investigated and clarified, and the nature of the problem whether isolated or programmatic determine If this information is not available, it should be explicitly stated in the Element Repor C0 17101-SQN, Rev. 2 " Valves"

.

The concerns regarding valve orientation, maintenance requirements such as stroking, and inaccessible hand valve have been investigated in depth by the ECTG. Their findings show that existing maintenance and inspection practices meet the requirements for installation and

,

maintenance of the Limitorque valve motor operators specified by the vendo No inaccessible emergency hand valve was foun C0 17105-SQN, Rev. 1 " Piping / Fittings" l

The NRC inspectors agree with the evaluation, conclusions and resolu-tion of the concern for the ERCW system stainless steel material replacement. The replacement of carbon steel piping with stainless steel in the small lines and further replacements based on the periodic surveillance testing of the system flow rates is adequat The NRC inspectors require further details regarding the hydrotest of penetration welds. The affected penetrations must be identified and the welds marked on the penetration design drawings. Before the evaluation can be performed the governing design codes must be

identified, as well as jurisdictional boundaries between components

,

(process pipe vs containment) and between code CO 19101-SQN, Rev. 2 " Electrical Equipment" The NRC inspectors believe that the TVA resolution of the concern as described in the Element Report is not adequate and conclude that General Construction Specification G-40, Modification and Addition Instruction M&AI-6, and Standard Drawing SD-E13.6.3-1 should be revised to specifically include galvanized steel as an acceptable material for junction boxe C0 19203-SQN, Rev. 2 " Conduit Fittings" A review of General Construction Specification G-40 revealed that no controls have been established related to the addition of zinc coated or die cast materials within the containment building; however, TVA intends to take the following corrective actions:

Prepare a procedure that ensures an accurate update of .

inventories of light metals to be included in the calculations of hydrogen buildup inside containmen Revise General Construction Specification G-40 to prohibit the use of die cast zinc conduit components inside primary compone Utilize TVA Specification 21.001 for all procurements of conduit and conduit fitting The NRC inspectors conclude that the TVA investigation of the concern was appropriate and their resolution and corrective action

is adequat i. MC 40503-SQN, Rev. 2 " Valves (Test 70)"

The element report does not seem to reflect actual practices as .

evidenced by the documents examine Further, identification of valves by descriptions, in lieu of unique type mark numbers devised by manufacturers, may fail to identify correctly equal valve bodies with different trim A more detailed explanation of TVA practices regarding valve identi-fication, for purchasing, storage, installation, welding, maintenance, piping stress analysis, system tests, plant operating instructions, and tech specs, is required before the NRC inspectors can properly -

evaluate the Element Repor MC 40512, Rev. 3 " Containment Vessel Plate" The NRC staff concludes that TVA's investigation and resolution of 1 l

the concern was adequate. However, the element report should document how it was determined that Support Pad No. 125 was the plate with the wrong material and not one of the other plate i-5-

Detailed comments regarding the Element Reports were given to the appropriate ECTG evaluators and/or ECTG Category Evaluation Group-Head !

(CEG-H) of the appropriate group by telephone from the Sequoyah Nuclear plant sit . Conclusions A total of 11 Construction category and 2 Materials Control category final Element Reports were reviewed and evaluated in part or in whole by the NRC inspection tea The five final Element Reports listed below were evaluated as satis-factory; SER input for these reports can be prepared without addi-tional review unless final in-office review raises new question C0 10603-SQN C0 11103-SQN C0 11203-SQN C0 17101-SQN CO 19203-SQN The three final Element Reports listed below require further review and evaluation before a conclusion can be reached; the evaluations are continuing in the contractor's offices, and may require further on-site inspection at either the Employee Concern Task Group (ECTG)

offices at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant or the Sequoyah Nuclear Plan C0 11301-SQN C0 11305-SQN C0 11306-SQN Five final Element Reports were evaluated as inadequate, and will require revision or additional explanation in writing by TV The reports are:
