               February 14, 1986.
           2.  Site Tour
               The NRC inspectors made several site tours in order to assess construction
               in progress, general cleanliness and housekeeping activities, condition of
               equipment, and plant status. The following areas of the plants were
               inspected: mechanical-electrical auxiliary buildings, containment build-
               ings, Intermeck fabrication shop (HVAC), pipe fabrication shop, weld test
               shop, pipe laydown yard A, paint storage warehouse, warehouses A, B, and C,
               fire pump house, fuel building, and essential cooling water structure.
               No violations or deviations were identified.
           3.  Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings
                (Closed) Violation (50-498-8506-01):
               This item concerns a Class 7 (II/I) HVAC support which had been accepted by
               EBASCO field engineering; however, during a reinspection by NRC, it was
               found~that the bolts were not torqued as required. Review of the licensee
               response and corrective action revealed that procedures have been revised
               for Class 7 components to include requirements for control of the~ removal
               and/or modification of items that have been~ inspected and accepted by field
               engineering. The Ebasco construction supervisors and engineers were
                reinstructed on.these requirements as outlined in ASP-22 prior to modifying
               or removing any item that has been. final-accepted. Craft personnel have
               been reinstructed not to perform any unauthorized work on accepted items.
               This was accomplished by distribution of a " check stuffer" to each employee
               at the site.
               This item is considered closed.
           4.  Licensee Action on IE Information Notices
                (Closed) IE Notice 79-08
               This item concerned the innerconnection of contaminated service air systems
                into the breathing air system. The breathing air system used at STP is
                separate and independent of any other system.
               The NRC inspector reviewed specification 5Q129MD1007, Revision 0, and
                Piping.and . Instrument Diagram SQ129F05044 concerning breathing air and
                concluded that the response is adequate.

   as "B" and meet the requirements of Branch Technical Position ASB 9.5-1,
   IV.B.7.
   (Closed) IE Notice 79-17
   This notice concerned source holder assembly damage due to misfit in
   reactors using 15X15 fuel assemblies. STP uses 17X17 fuel configuration.
   Therefore, this should not occur. The limitation on secondary source
   location in a 17X17 core is that they not be placed beneath a control
                                                    ~
   assembly.
   (Closed) IE Notice 79-20

             -a.   Procedures / Specifications Review
                   The NRC inspector reviewed procedures and specifications to determine
                   whether these documents conform to appropriate reference codes and
                   standards as well as the licensee's commitment to quality standards.
                   The NRC inspector reviewed the Standard Site Procedure Manual and the
                   structural and miscellaneous steel specification.
                   Review of the steel specification by the NRC inspector. indicated that
                   the technical requirements for the fabrication, assembly, erection,
                   and inspection of structural and miscellaneous steel expressed in the
                   specification conform to the licensee's QA program as described _ in the
                   FSAR. There were no apparent deviations of the specification from
                   reference codes ar.d industry standards.
                   The NRC inspector reviewed the Standard Site Procedure Manual, SSP-11,           i
                   " Fabrication, Erection and Bolt-Up of Structural Steel," to ascertain
                   whether the manual conforms to the structural steel specification as
                   well as the licensee's QA program. It was noted by the NRC inspector
                   that the procedure established appropriate methods and requirements
                   for the fabrication, assembly, erection, and inspection of structural
                   and miscellaneous steel .
                   Procedures and Specification reviewed were:

                         Miscellaneous Steel," Revision 6
              b.   Field Observation
                   The NRC inspectors performed an inspection of the installation and
                   erection of structural members and connections for the floor plan at
                   elevation 69'-6", HEAB Unit 2 (Ra#327). Welding was not observed
                   during this inspection.
                   Prior to start of the inspection the NRC inspectors witnessed the QC
                   calibration of the torque wrenches used in checking the required
                   torque values.
                   The.NRC inspectors randomly selected structural steel members to
                   determine if piece mark numbers stamped into the members matched the
                   drawing location / orientation as specified. Structural members
                   selected did match the installation drawing as required and no
                   apparent discrepancies were observed in the configuration / orientation
                   of the structural member examined. The NRC inspectors checked for
                   minimum torque values on 22 structural connections that had been QC
                                                                                            -_.

                  accepted. One of the structural connections inspected had one bolt
                  which was loose. The licensee performed additional inspections in the
                   same area and found no loose bolts. Additionally the licensee used a
                  statistical sampling plan to determine at a 95/95 confidence level
                  that all connections were satisfactorily inspected. The NRC inspector
                  reviewed the results and was satisfied. The i.bove mentioned loose
                  bolt is considered to be an isolated case.

         7. Review of Nonconformance Reporting
            The NRC inspector reviewed the licensee's commitment to nonconformance
            reporting in.the " Quality Assurance Program Description," Section 15, which
            requires that the licensee.and prime contractors Quality Assurance Program
            include a system which is documented by written procedures for the
            identification, segregation and disposition of nonconforming materials,
            parts and components. The procedures are to specify the preparation and
                                                                            .

                requirements; (e) include signature approval of the disposition and final
                closecut.
                Procedure SSP-19 of the licensee!s Standard Site. Procedure (SSP),
                paragraph 5.1.5, states that "NCRs are not to be used to report procedural
                violations, design conflicts or other system QA problems unless the quality
                of the hardware is affected." - Also, the contractor's procedure for
                Nonconformance Reporting.QCP 15.1 states, "NCRs are not to be used to
                                                                                ~
                report procedural violations or other system QA problems unless it affects
                quality of. hardware. Procedural violations may be reported to QA for
                appropriate action."
               .For reporting " Hold Point" or other procedural violations, the QC inspectors
                have been orally instructed to notify the QA group by memo, telephone,

'

                verbal or any other available means. At this point the QA group may
                initiate a Site Deficiency Report (SDR) for processing. No written project
                procedure exists which requires inspectors to report " Hold Points" or other
                procedural deviations, etc. Such deviations constitute a failure to follow
                procedures. This is an a
                of Appendix B. (86-02-1) pparent violation of Criterion X and XVI
            8.  Piping (Safety-Related)

. The. purpose of thi's piping inspection was to assure that the design basis

                as described in the FSAR is transcribed into applicable specifications and
                procedures and that these methods are adequately performed, inspected and
                documented.

             engineer (Bechtel) and five under the previous engineer (B&R). All of
             the pieces were fabricated in the Southwest Fabricating Company shops
             in Houston. Each assembly was inspected for damage, arc strikes, size,
             protection and dimensions i.e., weld to weld, configuration, flange to
             welds, angles and code markings and workmanship of welds.
             The yard foreman was asked to locate the spools in the yard according
             to the existing program used in controlling and locating each piece.
             The 15 pieces were correctly spotted in the yard. It was also noted
             that the materials in the yard were resting on wooden dunnage and the
             yard was well drained and laid out by row and section. The pieces
             examined were:

             pre-installed piping spools.
          c. System Walkdown and Inspection
             An inspection of the major lines of the fabricated piping in the High
             Head Safety Injection, Low Head Safety Injection and Containment Spray
             System in Bays A, B, and C in the Fuel Handling Building at elevations
             -2' to -30' was performed with the following results:
                   The suction side header consisted of 16" main pipe reducing to
                   12" for the Low Head, 10" for the High Head and 12" for the
                   Containment Spray. The three trains in each bay were examined
                   from the containment penetration to the second motor operated
                   valve on the header and to the pump. Approximately 125 linear
                   . feet of piping in each bay was inspected to the following
                   drawings:

                   The discharge side of the High Head was 6" piping, the Low Head 8"
                   and the Containment Spray 8".- The three trains in each bay were
                   examined to the details of the drawings which were:

                         2F369 PSI 572 sheet 5
                         SF369PCS515 sheets 1, 2, & 3
                   The examination included the piping from the pump to the
                   containment penetration. The piping inspected consisted of
                   approximately 300 linear feet in each bay.
             No deficiencies were observed in the inspection of the th'ree systems
             in each of three bays.
             Also observed in the inspection was the cutting, cleaning, and
             replacement of the Low Head suction pipe in Bay A. The cutting, weld
             prep and weld out appeared satisfactory. The NRC inspector also
             witnessed the flushing of part of the Low Head system in-the Fuel
             Building and Containment Building.
          d. Records Review
             Qualification records for welders were reviewed in the Weld Test Shop
             for five welders who were qualified to weld stainless steel in
             addition to other types. The record of Welder Qualification Test
             (ASME), Welder Qualification Test Record (AWS) and associated
             documentation were reviewed for completeness, accuracy, adequacy, and
             testing. These records were noted to be complete. Additionally, the
             test shop facility was found to be clean and in order.
             Training records .for mechanical-piping inspectors were reviewed in the
             Ebasco training office for seven in'spectors who were qualified to

l different levels and types of inspection. The following records were

             reviewed for cocpie'teness and included the Individual Quality
             Assurance Training Summary, Summary of Qualification, procedure
             certification, test scores and grades, training assignments, and sign
             offs and examinations and scores. Also reviewed were work and
experience history, education and training. No deficiencies were

!

             noted in this area.

,

             Nonconformance reporting concerning the safety injection system was
             reviewed in order to assess the effectiveness of the program. Ten

!. NCRs were reviewed for legibility, completeness and review cycle or '

             processing and resolution. The following nonconformance reports were
             reviewed and found to be satisfactory:
             C-M-00266-R2          C-P-00542-R0         C-P-03198-R0

                   The HL&P audit schedule was reviewed and noted to indicate sufficient
                   audits in the piping area.
                   Fifteen packages of data for field welding _in the safety injection and
                   containment spray system were tracked through the review cycle and
                   into the records management system vault. The specific item reviewed
                   was the Process Data Checklist which is a record of all of the steps
                   involved in the weld. The following were reviewed and found to be
                   satisfactory.
