SUMMARY

NRR in coordination with the Director of IE and the Region II & IV Admini-strators fonned a team to perforn a limited unannounced review of Comanche Peak. The purpose of the review was of 1) evaluate the current implementa-tion of the applicant's management control of the construction, inspection and test programs, 2) provide an indepth understanding and background

- infomation to the NRC new management team established by the Executive Director for Operations memorandum of March 12,1984, and 3) obtain infoma-tion necessary to establish a management plan for resolution of all out-standing licensing actions.

The team consisted of eight reviewers, a team leader and team manager. The reviewers and team leader were selected from the Region II staff. The manager was the NRR Comanche Peak Project Director. The team was assembled in Region II headquarters where it was briefed by NRR, IE and ELO. _

Y. The team conducted its review from April 3 to April 13, 1984 The review"

~

consisted of an audit of significant elements and processes of the appli-cant's management control in construction, inspections and testing of systems important to safety. These included:

1. Component and material receipt inspection and control.
2. Structure, systems, and component fabrication and installation.
3. Structure, system, and component acceptance, and preoperational testing.
4. Quality assurance and control documentation and procedures to effect i items 1 through item 3 above. ,

I '

! The portions of the system evaluated included piping, pipe and component

' supports, instrumentation and control, electrical cable separation and cable tray supports, component qualifications, and allegations relating to these areas. _

The reviews also included briefings from the Applicants' management and interviews with QA/QC, Document Control, and craft personnel. The total effort was conducted with little or no advance notice of areas, personnel or documentation to be reviewed.

l Each member of this team was chosen because he had both many years experi-

! ence in the discipline he was reviewing, and he had performed evaluations at

! a wide range of nuclear facilities. The team spent over 800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> per-

forming this review. The following is a list of the special review team members, their positions, and field of expertise

! receiving proper management attention. The findings identified three i potential enforcement actions (See Sections B&E); two areas of weakness 2 requiring Applicants management attention; (See Section B) and seven areas where Applicants activities exceeded normal and accepted practice (See

Sections A, B & E). The team also found improvements in the relationship between the current QA/QC management and inspectors which in the past has caused consnunication problems (See Section I). The team believes that the F results of this limited revi,ew reveal the plant is being built in a safe __

y manner. '

c. .

The findings and conclusions of this report of the teams review should not '

be construed as resolving any of the issues identified by the ASLB hearings, allegati::ns, or staff concerns of the design adequacy of the plant.

II. Background On March 17, 1984, the ED0 directed NRR to manage all NRC actions leading to

/l licensing decisions for Comanche Peak and Waterford. The purpose is to assure the overall coordination and integration of the outstanding regula- -

tory actions and achieving their resolution prior to a licensing decision.

This effort is to encompass all licensing, hearing, inspection and allega-tions issues.

1 Soon thereafter, the newly established Comanche Peak project team found that -

< there was a need to 1) obtain current infonnation relative to the management control of the construction, inspection and test programs and 2) obtain information necessary to establish a management plan for resolution of all outstanding licensing actions. To help achieve this objective expeditiously and objectively it was decided that an unannounced review of Comanche Peak i plant was necessary. As a consequence,'NRR in coordination with OIE and the

Region II and IV Administrators fonned a review team. Because of resource
limitations in Region IV, the team was staffed with Region II personnel.

J The team was assembled in Region II Headquarters on April 2, 1984. The team

) was briefed on significant issues raised as a consequence of the licensing l review, the hearing contentions and the allegations. The team leader and the reviewers were not provided with the names of the allegers in order to l assure their confidentiality. The team conducted their review from April 3 t to April 13, 1984.

5 III. Review Approach i The teams' review approach was to first obtain an understanding"of Comanche Peak management and management control systems. This was accomplished by briefing from the Applicants management.

With this understanding, the team reviewers comenced their efforts. These

- included examination of appropriate documentation, formal and infonnal interviews of plant personnel, and specific technical allegations related to

their areas. The allegations were not reviewed separately but were subsumed in the total review in order to provide further assurance of alleger confidentiality and not compromise any on-going or future investigations.

In addition to the review of the Quality Assurance program, from a program-

matic point of view, each of the reviewers examined the impl,ementation of P the QA/QC program in their individual areas of expertise in an attempt to _

s .

identify any breakdowns that could exist in a narrow area. .

~

'IV Review Findings 4

i The team conducted its review of the following areas:

J A. - Management Organization B. - Quality Assurance / Quality Control C. - Equipment Turnover and Preoperational Testing

. D. - Electrical i E. - Design Activities / Control

F. - Installation of Safety Related Fluid Systems .
G. - Civil Construction i H. - Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Systems
I. - Fonnal Interviews with QA/QC Personnel The review, f'indings and conclusions in each of these areas are provided below
A. Management Organization The construction and operations organization were reviewed to insure a working relationship between the organizations as well as functional
relationsh.ips within each organization. The qualifications of the individuals in positions of authority were reviewed against regulatory standards and the applicant's comitments. In addition to qualifica-tions, a review was made of the interface between all level: of the comand chain. .

The limited review revealed that in all areas, individual qualifications l

appear to meet requirements, the interface between construction and

- operations appears to be functioning in a workable manner and interface between all levels of the management chain appears to be functioning in an acceptable manner. There appears to have been a comunication ,

problem in the onsite QA/QC chain in the past, but according to interviews conducted during this review the problem has and is being corrected.

~

~ This review found the management and craft at Comartche Peak appear to be competent and management to possess a positive attitude which is a strength at this project. Management exhibited a sufficient level of consciousness for both safety and employee concerns. These management attitudes were confirmed by the attitudes they manifested in their

- employees and the attention to detail in the required quality of work.

B. Quality Assurance / Quality Control The following areas were reviewed primarily from a programmatic point of view: nonconformance control; training, audits; records (maintain-gp ability and retrievability); document control; receipt, storage and ~-

handling of materials; and procurement. ,,

T; 12 Within the areas reviewed, there were several findings identified. The following is a brief description of each according to category:

1. Potential Enforcement Issues.

a) ASME record packages were not being maintained .in a fire proof container.

b) At least two vendor audits had not been performed within the required time period. -

2. Weaknesses a) Certain drawing packages issued to the field contained non-applicable DCAs and/or CMCs, which had been deleted by -

engineering.

b) Many non-ASME Section 3 drawings centained a large number of DCA's and CMC's (over 300 in some cases) outstanding without being incorporated by revision.

3. Strengths a) The QA/QC training program is c4tcasivc and comprchcnsivc.

3 b) The use of a recently established computer system drawing control instead of stamped drawings referencing design changes.

, c) The vendor witnessing program is extensive in its audits and source inspection of purchased materials

, 3 7

d) The ability to. expeditiously locate and retrieve records, without prior notice, from permanent records vault.

J

Overall the current QA/QC program appears to be functioning

- satisfactorily. The recent management changes seems to have corrected past comunication problems.

{ C. Equipment Turnover and Preoperational Testing The p~rocesses of turnover of safety related equipment from construction to startup as well as pre-requisite and pre-operational tests of the equipment were reviewed to determine adequacy of: methodology employed in turnover of equipment to startup, return equipment to construction for rework, and ultimate release of equipment to operations; technical and administrative controls over preoperational testing; and preopera-

.' p tional test procedures, both technical content and administrative control. .{

c-

~

This review found the majority of the tests to be performed are retests -

or reperform's and could be conducted in parallel with the remaining initial test. The performance of the remaining test should not impact an October 1984, fuel load date. In addition, the turnover methodology and control of the preoperational test program appears adequate.

D. Electrical The assessment in this area was to determine acceptability of the safety related electrical equipment installed and inspected in accord- .

ance with NRC requirement and applicant comitments. A review was made

! of the overall program to include: drawings, procedures, quality 3

control inspections, and records.

The review found th'at the safety-related electrical equipment is being installed and inspected as required.

E. Design Activities / Control This review focused on the following areas: requirements of IEB 79-02;

,I IEB 79-14: Alternate Analysis for small bore piping system, rigorous 4 analysis for safety related piping systems; review of design calcula-l tions for pipe supports; review of stress analysis for piping systems; field inspection and verification; and the iterative design process.

A potential enforcement action was identified in that certain pipe supports which had been inspected and accepted were not installed in accordance with design drawings. There was also a strength identi-

'. fied in that the applicant was found to have used conservative considerations in many areas of design and analysis for the safety related piping systems and pipe supports.

  • 9 With the exception of two inspectors who were " unsure" due to lack of knowledge, all personnel interviewed felt the plant was being built in a safety and quality manner. There were some concerns raised which will be forwarded to the Comanch Peak Project Director for evaluation; in some cases, Region IV was already aware of the concerns and performing followup. The major problem in the past appears to have been comunication between inspectors and their supervision, but it is apparent that for the past couple of months and presently, this problem is being addressed properly.

In addition to formal interviews, each reviewer performed numercus infomal interviews to determine problem areas. The overall conclusion frc'n all interviews was that the Comanche Peak Project is being built safely and with quality.

~

p V. Conclusion _

1. -

The purpose of the special team review has been met in that (1) an assessment of the applicant's current management control of the construction, inspection and test programs has been made; (2) an in depth understanding has been achieved and (3) information has been obtained to establish a management plan for the resolution of all -

outstanding licensing actions.

With respect to the assessment of the applicant's management control of the construction, inspection and testing programs, the special review team has detemined that based on the number and significance of the strengths vs weaknesses identified in this review, that the applicant's programs are being sufficiently controlled to allow continued plant construction while the NRC completes its review and inspection of the facility. .

Further, the review provided a sufficient understanding of these programs .

and their strength and weakness to assist in the deve!opment of the

" Comanche Peak Plan for the Completion of Outstanding Regulatory Actions."

This plan was approved for implementation on June 5,1984.

A. Management Organization

1. Entrance Meeting

~

The afternoon of April 3 the special review team arrived; onsi.te unannounced. The team spent the afternoon of April 3 and:the morning of April 4th meeting with the applicant's Senior Corporate. Management, Site Management, Site QA Management, and Document Control l Super.vi'.s ion 3

being briefed on the organization, functions, and location .of: areas

!, under their control.

j 2. Management Organization >

. The' nuclear portion of Texas Utilities Generating Company is,org'anized in the following manner for its senior management:

l E a) The highest level executive is the President of the company. The r

! V - President has recently turned over all possible non-nuclear dutie~s ',

T to his Executive Vice President-Plant Operations. The President's'

- primary responsibility is to complete the Comanche Peak Steam ETectric Station as safely and expeditiously as possible.

l b) Reporting directly to the President are the Executive Vice

President Engineering and Construction and the Vice President l Operations. Even though there are fossil plants presently being built in the syitem and the licensing organization reports to the i Executive V.P. Engineering ar.d Construction he spends between j 60-80% of his time at the Comanche Peak Site. He has also
  • i delegated his non-nuclear responsibilities in an effort to focus on the nuclear station completion. The Vice President-Operations (V.P. OPS.) spends approximately 80% of his available time on site

- directly observing the operations group preparation to take over the plant upon construction completion. He is also an active. .

participant in construction and startup meetings and the decision making process. A few months ago the V.P.0PS. was moved from his nonnal reporting path to Executive V.P.-Plant operctions, directly reporting to the President.

l c) Reporting to the Executive Vice President Engineering and j construction is the Vice President Engineering and Construction (V.P.E.&C.). The V.P.E&C. has been located on the Comanche Peak I site since 1977 and during the same year he assumed the additional

)' title of Project General Manager for Comanche Peak. In January 1984 he delegated his non-nuclear responsibilities in

! order to devote his full attention to Comanche Peak completion.

I

! d) The Assistant Project General Manager (APGM) reports to both the 4'

V.P.E&C and the V.P.0PS. He reports to the V.P.E&C. in the areas

, of construction and onsite engineering and to .the V.P.0PS for

- startup (S/U). This position is where the comon tie between i

construction and operations is most decisive. The APGM has been on site since 1977.

f e) In addition to the APGM, the V.P.0PS has reporting to him: The L. manager of Nuclear Operations, who is located at the site, and the Manager of Quality Assurance who is located in the corporate office but has a Quality Assurance / Quality Control Manager on site who is resp'onsible for all QA/QC on site.

The current positive management attitude is a strength exhibited at Comanche Peak from both the operations and the engineering and construction sides of the company. This positive attitude appears to manifests itself in the attitudes of the workers, the training, i

and in its consciousness for. quality.

t p One additional strength was noted in that the applicant is using -

operations' maintenance procedures to perfonn periodic maintenance on T j Y..

equipment in the plant, and thea' pplicant is using full Anti-C dressout}-

and respirators for the craft (for training) to perform maintenance.

activities so when the equipment becomes contaminated the workers will l be use to the confining clothes and equipment. This practice shculd

! significantly reduce exposure and therefore dose received by these -

individuals after the plant is operational.

3. Project Management Meeting Every Saturday morning a project management meeting is held, wherein work activities, progress, startup and test problems, and QA/QC -

L coverage is discussed. This meeting is attended by Senior Corporate Management; including the President of Texas Utilities Generating i Company, and the Senior management-from construction and operations; it l is also attended by the site management of construction and startup.

Several members of the review team attended this meeting on April 7, 1984. The meeting appeared to be well managed, with problem areas being openly discussed (even though senior company management and NRC l

were in attendance, the dialogue between individual managers and supervisors was not toned down). An example of an area of concern

- which was discussed was the completion of the applicatica of protective  !

coatings in the containment. It was the general consensus that additional manpower was required to complete the work effort. An additional 100 people were authorized with the expectation they would be available within one week.

During this meeting it was decided to change the concept that was presently being used for plant completion. The applicant had been using a Building completion methodology, but after consultation and reviews by an acknowledged industry expert is was decided to prioritize 4

systems completion, with buildings to follow, or run in parallel where i possible.

The responsibility for closing NCR M-09812 S, R1, has been transferred to TUGC0 startup because these Westinghouse valves are required to be disassembled during system flushing. The. valves are to be reassembled under a startup work authorization (SWA).

Valve stroke time testing of these valves will be verified under the SWA. The relief valves listed on NCRs M-09765 and M-09766 were required to be reset because the ser. dor had not beer, i furnished the correct back-pressure information to set the valves.

verified retrievability of records from the PPRV.. ; ,

To verify general record retrievability, the reiiewer selected several general construction and inspection packages :such as weld data, concrete placements, equipment packages,: and equipment travelers. All records were retrieved in a short. period from the PPRV. During the review, other records were retrieved offspecific design / construction / inspection activities. No significant difficulties were identified during these real-t'ime challenges to the records retrievability system. The ability to expeditiously locate and retrieve records is identified as a strenoth. This ability appears to be primarily due to indexing and. storage of ~

' records by component or material, when possible,,instead of by record type. ,

F .

To review the B&R ASME records flow, the records associated with y.

i safety injection isometric SI-2-RB-13-4; Core Spray CS-1-SB-032; -

Chemical and Volume Centrol ~CT-1-SB-14; Component Cooling CC-2-SB-042; Boron Recycle BR-1-SB-05 Spool 103; BR-1-SB-004 Spool IQ3, BR-1-SB-006, and Main Steam MS-1-SB-050 were reviewed.

These records contained the inspector's identification, the type of inspections, the acceptability, verification of review and approval, and were readily retrievable. Heat numbers on materials installed in the field were recorded during a site tour.

Certified Materials Test Reports (CMTR) were requested and furnished which verified traceability for those items recorded -

during the tour. Also CMTRs, for selected subassemblies were verified to meet ASME code requirements. Review of records for

the subassemblies listed abcve confimed that Desi Authorizations (DCAs) and Component Modifications CMCs) (gn Change were incorporated into the as-built drawings prior to the ASME code '

stamp being applied .to systems. This program of records review, approval and turnover from B&R, the ASME "N" stamp holder, to TUGC0 appears to be very thorough, though complex. Records for work perfomance by B&R are assembled, reviewed, and approved,

- then submitted to the Authorized Nuclear Inspector (ANI) for i review, then submitted to TUGC0 for filing. A task force

} comprised of B&R and TUGC0 personnel, thea make another review of l these records. Any discrepancies noted are then resolved between i B&R and TUGCO. These recosds are then red labeled, and etn not be i removed from the vault without written approval of QA management;

, thereby, preventing loss of QA recceds, t -

l A review was made of the temporfry storage of records in the i

field. Although records are best protected in the PPRV, record storage in adequate fire proof cabinets is allowed based on the record storage equipment qualification in NFPA No. 232-1975, which bases fire protection on exterior fire . load calculations.

t j

Although the reviewer did not ch(ck any fire load calculations t

9 justifying the use of one-hour fire cabinets, those cabinets observed appeared to be adequately protected. During this review, the observation was made that several completed ASME moment restraint record packages being maintained in a non-fireproof cabinet in the ASME Safeguards Bu,ilding QC trailer. This failure i- to store quality assurance records in a fireproof cabinet is a potential enforcement issue. Prior to conclusion of the review, I

these records were relocated to fireproof' cabinets. Based on the J- above problem, the reviewer noted some confusion at the site on l

the control of " documents" as they progresa through design / con-struction/QC and as to when they become " records." This was evident as little distinction appeared to be made for the storage of " documents" or " records" in the field. Working " documents" were provided equal to or better protection than " records" in some instances. Other than the example stated, no other storage F problem was identified. Comanche Peak had esta'alished, on __

3 March 30,1984, records monitoring teams to reviw the records; .

t flow program. The clarification of the document / records interface:

for storage control is a weakness and is to be addressed by the monitor teams. This weakness is considered part of the potential

~

enforcement issue addressed above.

The physical construction of the PPRV was reviewed. The construc-tion of the PPRV is satisfactory for protection from exterior fire damage. For inside originated fire damage, the PPRV has a fire detection system but does not have the industry standard water or halon automatic fire suppression system. The system for unattended PPRV fire control was reviewed. With the fire detec-tion alarms annunciating in the close-by fire station, the fire -

l station personnel having ready access to the PFRV and the location of a fire hose reel outside the PPRV door, the fire protection

! appears adequate. Verification was made that the operations vault, into which all -the PPRV records will be transferred, -

contains an automatic fire suppression system.

. c. Conclusion The records control of the PPRV appears to meet all requirements,

! with sufficient staff to control the activity. Records flow to the PPRV needs clarification, but appears adequate in implementa-tion. Records personnel appeared (nowledgeable as to PPRV j

cperation.

5. Document Control ,

I

4 10 i

a. General Controlled documents, primarily drawings, specifications, 'and procedures are maintained and controlled by the site Document Control Center (DCC). The predominance of document control within the sphere of the DCC relates to drawing control and changes to those drawings. The DCC has established satellite document control centers which control and distribute most of the working l documents. -These satellites provide controlled document copies to crafts and the Unit 1 Task Force Paper Flow Groups (PFG).

Controlled documents and changes are provided to the satellites from the DCC. The DCC also provides controlled documents to

several " controlled number recipients" directly. The PFG provides controlled documents to craft working in that specific building task force. Revisions to controlled drawings and documents that P affect controlled drawings, such as design change authorizations _

g.

(DCAs) or component modification cards (CMCs) are distributed upqn, 4-~

~

receipt to the satellites and controlled number recipients. For :

drawings, a computer system keeps track of drawings and the DCAs and CMCs that affect those drawings. When new drawings, drawing revisions, DCAs, or CMCs are generated the computer is updated.

When the satellites receive a new drawing revision, CMC or DCA, any controlled drawings checked out to the crafts or under the control of the PFG are updated by the satellite DCC personnel.

This maintains current the controlled drawings in use by insuring that drawing packages contain the correct revision with applicable DCAs and CMCs Drawings checked out to the craft from the PFGs or directly from the satelTites are returned at the end of the working day. Prior to checking out drawings from a satellite l directly to the craft, a computer run is made to insure that

' drawing packages contain the appropriate revision and applicable i CMCs and DCAs. When craft personnel return drawing packages to the satellite or PFG, a drawing, CMC and DCA check is again -

perfonned to verify return of the controlled documents.

b. Re'viewiEffort A review was made of the references listed to verify they met the requirements of the accepted QA Program. The reviewer also i

verified that administrative controls have been established for the control of drawings and that indices are maintained for drawings, manuals, specifications, and procedures which indicate current revisions.

In order to verify the control of drawings, the reviewe'r selected several drawings to detennine if the current drawing revision with applicable DCAs and CMCs located in the DCC, was also onhand in the control ard auxiliary building PFGs. Two drawing discre-pancies were noted. Drawings 2323-El-2011, R8 and 2323-El-0900,

Sheet 1, R6 maintair.ed in the PFG had several DCAs in the package i

11 that were missing from the current drawing package computer printout. The verification was perfonned on April 12, 1984, using a current drawing status. This problem appears to be from engineering eliminating CMCs and DCAs from its data base applic-able to particular drawings without informing DCC of the change.

Although the computer change keeps satellite issues current, no

" trigger" device causes satellite personnel to remove the CMCs and DCAs from the PFG drawing package. A review of the engineering

, mechanism for updating the data base founti the procedure satis-factory and a review of having non-applicable CMCs or DCAs in the drawing package revealed that while possibly confusing, the  ;

practice is not a technical: problem. As the working controlled  ;

drawing packages are expected to be current at all times, this mechanism whereby non-applicable CMCs and DCAs remain in con-trolled drawing packages is identified as a weakness. ,

F The computer assisted drawing control program was reviewed. tI s.

t Specifically, with the sole reliance on the current computer . ;

printout to detennine drawing package adequacy, the controls of- ~

computer input and changes were reviewed. Access codes have been established so that a limited number of engineering and DCC

personnel have access to affect their respective data base. A procedure and training exists to define appropriate computer

, changes authorized for each group. The system appears to be .

adequately controlled and use of a computer system versus stamped ,

drawings referencing DCAs and CMCs is identified as a strength.

t During this review, a frequent observation from all reviewers was .

the continued maintenance of a large number of CMCs and DCAs in drawings ~ packages, rather than making a revision to the drawing incorporating the completed changes. Interviews with craft and QC  !

personnel revealed that other than the inconvenience of the sheer volume of a large number of CMCs and DCAs in a package, they had -

not encountered construction errors due to accumulation of DCAs and CMCs. In that no problem appear to be developing, but the potential to lose control is high when drawings are not revised periodically to keep outstanding drawing changes reasonably low,

  • the maintenance of working drawings with a large number of completed CMCs and DCAs without a drawing revision is identified as a weakness. The applicant does have a program under way which
began two yea'rs ago to update those drawings identified by
operations as needed for safe operation. This program is l

scheduled for completion by fuel load.

c. Conclusion
The limited review revealed that the current document control i system appears to be functioning satisfactorily. All DCC and i PFG personnel interviewed were aware of their responsibilities and how their job was performed. The DCC, satellites, and PFGs I reviewed appeared to be adequately staffed. l

a. . General Safety-related purchase requisitions are generated by TUGC0 engineering at the site and are converted to purchase orders by the site procurement and subcontracts section. Technical and QA requirements are detemined by engineering. A QA review of all safety-related purchase orders is conducted on site to verify QA Each purchase order requirements and use of an approved vendor.

requires the vendor to inform TUGC0 when a product is ready to ship. TUGC0 QA determines whether to perform a pre-shipment inspection at the vendor's location or to waive this inspection.

P Approximately one-third of all safety-related shipments are source _._

s inspected. TUGC0 also maintains a vendor audit program to insure .

5:

that vendors can meet the requirements imposed by the purchase. ;

orders. The vendors that are satisfactorily audited are placed on the approved vendors list. TUGC0 has also initiated an annual reviaw of supplier perfo,mance.

b. Review Effort A review was made of the licensee's procurement program with respect to selected elements of the accepted OA Program. The review was to verify that administrative controls had been - *:

established for the preparation, review, approval and revision of procurement documents. A review of the licensee's p.rocedures to verify that acceptable methods were being used to qualify vendors which provide quality goods or services; that these procedures required the maintenance of records of supplier qualifications and -

audits; and that responsibilities have been assigned to perfonn -

the vendor qualification program was performed. Several purchases orders at the site and at the TUGC0 offices in Dallas were

- reviewed. Purchase orders, based on the limited review, appeared to be handled satisfactorily.

Also reviewed was the source inspection or witnessing program implemented from the TUGC0 QA office. The program is quite extensive and appears to be very effective at performing material inspections at the source and identifying potential proolems difficult to detect by a receiving inspection alone.

A portion of this program, though, needs clarification.' Although, the witnessing procedures describes how to perform the source inspection, criteria is not documented for the decision on what This i

purchase orders are source inspected and which are waived.

' is considered a procedure weakness, but not a program weakness.

l The entire witnessing program is a strength.

t i 15 Also reviewed was the vendor audit program, which is used to maintain the approved vendors list. The reviewer selected several vendors on the current list and reviewed their most current audits. All audits reviewed were considered satisfactory. Two of the vendor audits, Dresser Industries and Forney Engineering were 4

I I last audited in 1978. The licensee, through the FSAR, utilizes j ANSI N45.2.12, Draft 3, Rev. O to develop the audit program, a i part of which is the vendor audit program. Paragraph 3.4.2 of this standard requires the performance of annual audits or at least one audit during the lifetime of the activity. NRC Regulatory Guide 1.144, Revision 1, Auditing of Quality Assurance Programs for Nuclear Power Plants, which the licensee has not endorsed, clarifies this annual requirement with respect to vendor audits, in that vendors may be audited triennially providing that annual evaluations continue to show the vendor perfor;ning satisfac-E torily. The TUGC0 vendor audit. program doet not provide for an -

r annual, triennial or any periodic vendor audit schedule. Vendors. ;

Y are reaudited primarily on a usage and performance history basis. ; *

. This failure to establish measures to audit vendors at least

- triennially is considered a potential enforcement issue. The inspector found no indication that a failure to audit periodically resulted in maintaining an unsatisfactory vendor on the approved _

vendors list. Also, although the vendor witnessing program does not review the vendor's QA program, and is not a substitute for a '

TUGC0 audit, the large number of source inspections would mitigate the possible consequences of not performing periodic vendor

. . audits. . .. ..

j c. Conclusion i The procurement program appears to be satisfactory. The vendor witnessing program is an asset and appears well managed. Other '

than the missing timetable for the vendor audit program, the -

conduct of audits and vendor annual evaluations appears to be well managed. Personnel in the procurement QA staff appear to be knowledgeable and professional in their work.

The administration of the test program was reviewed in order to verify that methods are established to receive (from construction) the jurisdiction over systems before comencement of testing.

The administrative mechanisms established for jurisdiction control -

of systems before, during, and after testing were reviewed in order to verify that those mechanisms adequately provide for:

control of system status before preoperational testing including

c. Conclusion Based on the above limited review, the following conclusions were formed:

(1) The administrative process of custody transfer of systems appears to be adequate.

(2) The preoperational test program appears to be intact, viable and adequate.

(3) Preoperational tests appear to be technically and administratively adequate.

(4) Preoperational testing could conclude by August 1984.

4 A review of some of licensee Inspection Reports (irs) that were E perfonned for QI-QP-11.3-29.1 " Verify Electrical Separation" -

.r showed that I.R E-1-0024985 of 2/28/84 and IRE-1-0036072 of '.-

T ' 4/12/84 applied to the same room (room 219) in the auxiliary i

. building. Neither of these reports indicated that they were -

perfonned as a result of a specific job or Inspection Item Removal Notice (IRN). Both were designated as final inspections. It is recognized that the licensee can perform re-inspection as deemed 1 . necessary; however, it is considered that there should be only one final inspection for post construction work. If additional final i inspections are required in this area for IRN's, Design Change i Authorizations (DCA), etc., they should be referenced in the 4

remarks section of the IR. The one " final" electrical separation

inspection, which could be perfonned concurrent or before
QI-QP-11.3-40 " Class IE Electrical Post Construction Verifica-l tion," would indicate that electrical work in this area in almost I complete and would aid in t-iggering the performance of -

QI-QP-11.3-40. The licensee stated that this area would be reviewed to see if the " final" inspection in this area could be clarified.

c. Observation and Conclusions There appears to be a good working interface between construction inspectors and the craft. For the most part the electrical construc-tion inspectors appear to be knowledgeable and conscientious in their work areas. The inspector encountered no cas'es of hostility or j harassment with the Comanche Peak Project employees.

a. General The organization of the general site engineering, construction, and procurement efforts were defined in procedure CP-EP-3.0. By this procedure, the Project Manager is responsible for the Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES) design and engineering. These activi-ties are normally delegated to Gibbs and Hill, Westinghouse, and other J(

ji: The above piping stress analyses were partially reviewed for conformance to design specification, applicable code, NRC require-

ments, and the licensee commitmerits. These analyses were also -

- evaluated for thoroughness, clarity, consistency, and accuracy.

The NRC reviewer examined portions of the seismic inputs to be

, used in the stress analysis. These seismic inputs in terms of periods versus accelerations from the corresponding floor response spectra curves under OBE and SSE conditions were partially verified for accuracy. Furthermore, the reviewer held discussions with the responsible engineers to ensure that seismic anchor movement, nozzle thermal movement, and valve orientations were properly considered in the stress analysis.

During the review the reviewer examined piping system AF-1-SB-006. -

This 3/4" dianeter vent and drain pipe was analyzed for support requirements. Results from the analysis revealed that no pipe

- supports were needed for the pipe. However, the reviewar noted that a Component Modification Card (CMC) No. 90567 was issued to the pipe in trat a piece of tee' (pipe) was added to the vent and

. drain system. The pipe support group accepted this CMC without

, performing detailed evaluation. The responsible engineer stated that this CMC was reviewed by a well qualified engineer. Based on his engineering judgement, no detailed calculations were required.

2 The inspector indicated that a detailed evaluation for this CMC was needed. In addition, a sampling program should be initiated ,

to ensure that no other similar CMCs were accepted without performing detailed evaluation. The responsible licensee repre-sentative took immediate action to perform detailed calculations for the vent and drain piping system due to the addition of the CMC (No. 90567). Furthermore, a sampling program was immediately initiated to review 53 other similar packages. This matter will be identified to the Comanche Peak Project Director for followup.

i Results from the detailed calculations revealed that no pipe supports were required for the vent and drain piping system as the original evaluation indicated. Results from the sampling program showed that no discrepancies were identified for the 50 other similar packages. ,

This observation was supported by the extensive discussions with the responsible -

engineering personnel and by reviewing the procedures and results of the design calculations. ,

c. Conclusion

Discussions with the responsible personnel revealed that the enginee-ring personnel involved in the area of stress analysis' for piping systems and pipe supports appeared to be knowledgeable. A review of ,

portions of the alternate analysis criteria and related documents was perfonned. It was noted that the methods and procedures used in the criteria were conservative. A review of the eleven calculation packages indicated that computer applications were extensively used in the. stress analyses, pipe support designs and, base plate and concrete expansion anchor bolt calculations. Design calculations, in general, were good.

During the review, the NRC reviewer noted that conservative considera-tions were found in many areas of design and analysis. These conserva-tive considerations included: factor .of safety used for concrete expansion anchor bolt calculation, computer program (FUB II) used for base plate analysis, weld stress allowables for welding connections, l i _. c ,

40 alternate analysis for small bore piping, and seismic loads used in design and analysis. These consecutive design considerations are censidered strengths in'the applicants program. Finally, the reviewer noted that the geographic location of Comanche Peak site has the lowest seismic risk -in the United States in accordance with the criteria specified in Uniform Building Code.

4 A field walkdown inspection performed by the reviewer has resulted in various discrepancies for 14 pipe supports that had been previously inspected by the licensee's QC inspectors. This item will be referred to the Comanche Peak Project Director to perform subsequent followup to ensure that safety-related pipe supports are installed in accordance with design drawings and to verify that corrective actions with respect to the aforementioned discrepancies are adequately implemented in accordance with established procedures.

(4) Residual Heat Removal Heat Exchangers (RHR Hxs Supports)

The reviewers requested the licensee to identify and provide for review the bolting requirements, the drawings and the installation records for the RHR Hxs. The drawings and some of the installa-

tion records were provided. The bolting requirements were not identified and the welding records were not provided by the completion of the inspector's visit. The records and infomation had been requested about li to 2 days before the end of the visit and licensee personnel indicated insufficient time was allowed to provide all of what was requested.

!P The reviewers examined the RHR Hx supports for visual weld quality-5; (size and location were not checked) and installation of bolting.

5: The weld quality appeared sati.sfactory (in accordance with code requirements). A few nuts were seen to be very loose, with many _

~

threads exposed between the nuts and the surfaces against whrich they would tighten. Also, the threads between the loose nuts and tightening surfaces were noted to have been painted (apparently inadvertently).

The status of the final inspections to be perfomed on the Hxs was i unclear, but the reviewers were informed that a final inspection of welds and to verify that bolting was in place and remained to be pertormed.

As already indicated above, the installation records for the Hxs .

did not appear to be readily retrievable and bolting requirements were not readily identified by the licensee. This appears to be

- contradictory to the findings of the general finding of the team.

I c. Conclusions

Based on their examination and findings described above, the reviewers

! generally concluded that the licensee's program for installation of 4 safety-related fluid system components assures compliance with require-

ments, comitments and good engineering practice. As their assessment
  • was incomplete relative installation of ~the Hxs described above, the
reviewers recomend additional evaluation to complete the review J

relative to such components. This will be identified to the Comanche l

Peak Project Director for followup. . .

4g l l criteria utilized by the reviewer appear in Section 3.8 of the FSAR. The pipe whip restraints are non-ASME since they are not attached to the piping. The restraints are treated as part of the reactor building internal structure and are constructed in accordance with the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Standard Practices, as is all other non-ASME structural steel members (cable tray supports, structural steel building: frames, stairwells, non-ASME equipment supports) in the power block. This is standard industry practice. Tha whip restraints were fabricated by the Chicago Bridge and, Iron (CB&I) Company. Onsite installa-tion was performed by Brown'and Rcot. Documents examined by 4

The reviewer also examined the outstanding (unincorporated)

design changes against the above specification and drawings.

Tnere were 29 DCAs against the specification,12 against drawing number 0581, 3 against drawing number 0581-01, 11 i

against drawing number 0584, and 11 against drawing 0585.

The reviewer examined the document packages maintained in DCC Satellite 306 for the above specification and drawings and -

verified that they were complete and contained the latest (current) revisions of the drawing and design changes.

, l (c) Review of Quality. Records -

The reviewer examined quality records documenting construc-tion (site erection) and QC inspection of whip restraint numbers M22, M25, and M-37 on elevation 900 of the Unit 1 reactor building. These records included weld travelers, QC inspection of structural steel bolting, QC inspection of welding, and as-built drawings showing as-built dimensions, F elevation and location for the restraints. The reviewer -

packages. Tnere was no resolution of this item during the -

review, therefore, this item will be refered to the Comanche Peak Project Director for followup and resolution. The reviewer did not examine the CB&I whip restraint fabrication

~

records.

1 (3) Review of Nonconformance (NCR) 10453 The reviewer exa' mined NCR 10453 which was written to document and disposition a problem which developed during field erection of four moment limiting component supports on the feedwater lines in the Unit 1 Safeguards Building. The supports, which are ASPE -

components, are similar to pipe whip restraints. The purpose of the supports, which were ere:ted' around the feedwater lines, is to limit movement of the pipes during pipe break accidents. The

- restraints are constructed from heavy beams and columns which were fabricated offsite by CB&I. During fiel'd erection of the restraints (which was accomplished by Brown and Root) cracks

developed in welds which attached small (6 inch by 9 inch) gussett plates to the colt.mns and beant when the bolts in the beam-column connections were torqued.

The reviewer examined the NCR and discussed the corrective action

! with QC inspection personnel. Review of the NCR disclosed that it had been revised five times. Some of these revisions resulted from changes to the corrective action aft'er further evaluation of l the problem.. Other revisions were as a result of changes to the administrative handling of the NCR, e.g., to repair all four 4- rer,traints under one NCR is lieu of writing a separate NCR for each restraint. These types of revisions are nonnal during disposition of NCRs. Review of the NCR and discussions with responsible inspectors disclosed that the problem was resolved by

removal of the damaged gusset plates (i.e., the plates where welds 1

. had cracked) from the beam and columns, non-destructive examina-tion (NDE) of the base metal in the beams and columns at the points where the gusset plates had been attached, fabrication of j new gusset plates, and rewelding of the new gusset plates to the

beam columns. The reviewer examined selected quality records associated with repairs of one of the restraints, including weld travelers, PT inspection report number 19059 and 19054 and design documents including CMC 96060 and Brown and Root drawing number MSB-0683-CBI. The corrective action to rasolve this NCR was completed in March 1984.

The reviewer observed the tension test of specimen 28, a 1 inch EC-2W Richmond Insert, and the shear-tension test of specimen 6, a li inch EC-6W Richmond Insert. During the tests, the reviewer verified that application of the test load was accomplished in accordance with the procedure requirements and that the test data was accurately recorded.

Following completion of the' above tests, the reviewer examined the results of tension and shear-tension tests that

( had been previously completed and noted that those results -

were. consistent with the results of the tests witnessed by the reviewer. The majority of the modes of failure resulted i in failure of t:1e high strength bolts, not the concrete or insert sleeve. The reviewer also examined the concrete cylinder unconfined compressive test data to verify the strength of the concrete was recorded for use in evaluation

, of the test results.

(c) Review of Cable Tray Loading As discussed in paragraph G.b.(4) above, the reviewer noted during field walkdown inspections that siderails had been raised on some cable trays in order to accommodate additional electrical cables. The reviewer also noted that fire barrier materials, commonly known as.thermolag, were being added to the cable trays (electrical raceways). The reviewer examined the design controls used to verify the structural adequacy of the cable trays from the increase in loadings due to the addition of thermolag and/or addition of cables to the trays.

Details of the review are discussed below.

- Evaluation of Effect of Thermolag Fire Barriers on Structural Adequacy of Cable Trays / Supports F The reviewer examined TUGC0 engineering procedure -

outlines the program to be implemented to verify that cable trays and supports meet seismic design criteria after installation of the thermolag is completed. The program will verify that the combination of the weight of the cables in the trays, the dead weight of the trays, and the weight of the thermolag will not exceed the maximum design allowable load of 35 psf. The procedure outlines steps to be followed when the allowable design load is exceeded. The reviewer discussed this program with licensee engineers who stated that the "as-bu.'iding" of the cable trays to account for the ~

installation of the themolag will begin. in the near future.

After the as-building program is completed, the evaluation of the effect of additional weight of the thermolag on the cable ,

trays will be perfomed per precedure CP-EI-4.0-49 require-ments. This area is being referred to the Comanche Peak 4 Project Director for followup.

- Evaluation of Increases to Height of Cable Tray Side Rails

  • 1 During the field walkdown dfscussed above, the reviewer randomly selected for review three four-inch cable trays in the Unit I cable spreading room which had 6 or 8 inch side rails. These were tray numbers T-13-0CC-F7, T-13-GCC-M10, and T-13-GCC-M33. The above trays ; ; 30 inches wide. The reviewer examined sheets 1 'and 12 of drawing number 2323-El-0712, and the 133 DCAs against sheet 1 and 4 DCAs against sheet 12. These drawings

(8) Personnel Interviews -

The reviewer conducted informal Subjects interviews covered with during the nine civil arid six interviews mechanical QC inspectors. .

were the inspector training program, ability to discuss their  ;;.  :

safety concerns with their management and/or the NRC, cooperation K@

between craft and QC personnel, and availability of technical assistance from engineering personnel. From the interviews, reviewer concluded that the QC inspectors felt freedom to express the I;W i

h@

their. safety concerns to management and/or the NRC, that the J'.

inspectors felt that . craft personnel were aware of the require- .

ments to do the work properly, and that the craft recognized the pi importance of QC inspection activities and cooperated with the F2 inspectors. The inspectors stated that engineering assistance in C~J resolution of problems was available whenever they requested it. .

^

The interviews also disclosed that the licensee has an extensive _.

training program which the. inspectors are required to complete , .

prior to becoming certified and being able to inspect and accept '

work. The training program involves classroom training, on the m.'

U~e job training, and passing written and practical exams (the exams M contain essay type questions, not multiple choice). The training '

4 program for the inspectors performing inspection of structural Mht steel protective coating involved 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of classroom training and 80 hours9.259259e-4 days <br />0.0222 hours <br />1.322751e-4 weeks <br />3.044e-5 months <br /> of on the job trtining. The inspectors did state  %

  • that the large number of unicorporated design changes against some -

drawings made their jobs more difficult at times, but most said l that after working in an area for a period of time they became familiar with the changes and were able to overcome this problem.

a. General The reviewer conducted tours of containment, auxiliary buildirig, safeguards building, and control building for both t; nits to generally observe quality, work in progress, material control, and protection of HVAC equipment, as well as weld rod control. Discussions were held with craft and inspection personnel during these tours relative to plant quality.
b. Review Effort Previous discrepancies identified by NRC regarding HVAC installation served as a driving force for this review effort. A review was made of .

evaluations and calculations performed as a result of the previously identified problems. In addition, the reviewer observed HVAC ducting p- and supports for confonnance to applicable drawings, specifications, __

y and standards. , , ,

c. i The reviewer generally observed ducting in various areas of the -

containments, auxiliary building, safeguards buildings, and control building for both units for proper bolting, proper gaskets, and structural integrity. In addition, the inspector observed duct and equipment supports for confonnance to requirements. Supports reviewed included unit 2 duct hangers 2J-1R, 2J-IV, and 2J-RIB; Unit 1 duct

hangers 1J-RIL, IJ-10C, IE-1A, IE-1L, and 1H-RIG; floor mount of Unit 1

! Train A Containment Spray Pump Room fan coil unit; and the two unit 1 j Safety Injection Pump Room Fan Coil unit hangers. ,

c. Conclusion No significant problems were identified relative to ducting. Only .

minor problems, well within previous discrepancies evaluated, were found in duct supports. Dimensional variations were noted in the ,

hangers for Safety Ir.jection Pump Room Coolers. These deviations were analysed during the review indicating that these hangers were accept-able. Several minor drawing errors were also notad which were corrected during the review. The evaluations and corrective actions perfonned as a result of previously identified problems with HVAC installation appear to be adequate.

I. Fonnal Interviews of QA/QC Personnel ,

a. Fonnal interviews were conducted of QA/QC personnel in order to assist I, in assessing . site quality and management support of site quality. It

! was felt that discussions with inspection personnel would give a good conservative insight into whether or not the plant was being const-ructed properly. Interviews of five management personnel and twenty-eight inspectors were conducted. Inspectors were selected at random with one exception. Electrical inspectors were primarily selected from a group of inspectors which had recently been involved in a personnel

k' f ..  :.

l 7

incident involving a dress code "(Tee Shirt)" issue in order to assess whether these persons had significant technical concerns. In addition, i two electrical inspectors indicated a desire to talk to NRC and were

? interviewed. Several additional electrical inspectors were chosen in addition to inspectors in various other disciplines.

The group included inspectors working for eight different supervisors.

Experience of these personnel ranged from persons who had been in QC less than a year, to persons who had been at Comanche Peak from early construction (mid 1970s). Most had some previous experience such as site craft, non-nuclear industry or military experience. Some had worked at other nuclear facilities.

The major thrust of the interviews was to detennine if the personnel had any plant safety or quality concerns. Concerns in these areas were i p- solicited from all those interviewed. Discussions of other subjects .,_ -

were also held with most of the individuals interviewed. These t .;

1l ? ~

subjects included intimidation, support for identifying problems, ability to have problems evaluated and corrected as necessary, feedback'

! on evaluation of problems, adequacy of training program, and relation-

ship with NRC.

! All but two inspectors stated they felt the plant would be safe which

meant they had no significant quality problems which they felt would compromise safe operation. One inspector, who was not sure of the-
plant's safety, stated he was assigned to an' area which was less controlled than he was used to, e.g., non-ASME code work versus ASME -

code work (which has the most stringent requirements), and was uncomfortable with the leeway allowed in this area. This person also indicated he had doubts about QA at nuclear plants in general. The othe: individual who was unsure of plant safety indicate he was satisfied with quality with one exception. Thi.s involved a specific problem which he was not sure was adequately evaluated. This item was described to the NRC:RIV Senior Resident Inspector for followup. Two inspectors who stated they had decided on their own that they wanted to talk to NRC, expressed very strongly that the plant quality was

" excellent" and there was no plant safety concern. Another inspector,

with over twenty-years' experience, who was at his fifth nuclear plant ,

said Comanche Peak was the "best" plant he had seen.

Seven inspectors expressed one or more specific concerns. These concerns involved cuestions on whether a particular procedure require-
ment or whether a particular technical evaluation was appropriate, documentation problems not involving quality of construction., questions whether certain personnel transfers were discriminatory, inaccuracies in some written Nonconformance Report (NCR) evaluations, and concerns

", which had recently been brought up and were yet to be evaluated by the i licensee. All concerns have been forwarded to the Comanche Peak j Project Director for followup for review and evaluation as necessary.

Several concerns were given to NRC
RIV personnel during this inspection j and followup showed that there was no technical problem identified.

1

t . .-

P

62 The NRC Residait Inspector was familiar with one of the concerns and bad already evaluated the conditlon as technically acceptable. Several additional concerns were given to RIV personnel verbally en the last l day of this insper. tion for timely followup.

The special team interviewer reviewed the concern regarding transfers of six of seven individuals mentioned in the personnel transfer concerns. .Ihese transfers appeared to be non-discriminatory. It should be noted that in all cases of concerns involving specific hardware discrepancies these discrepancies had been identified to appropriate licensee personnel and had been or were being evaluated.

All inspectors questioned (21) as to their ability to identify problems

such as via NCRs, indicated no suppression in this area. Several inspectors indicated that NCR written evaluations could be more clear p and complete in some cases. _

Feedback regarding problems, su6 as via explanations of NCR evalua * '; -

i~. tions, was considered good by 19 of the individuals questioned. One -

I- individual indicated he did not always receive complete feedback but I these items did not involve significant t'echnical concerns. Two

! individuals stated they felt uncomfortable with some "use-as-is" NCR i evaluations. One stated that more feedback was needed as to reasons l

for procedure changes.

I i Many of the inspectors indicated that comunications were improving and i the assignment of the new site QA manager was a positive step in

improving comunications. It was clear that some.comunications
problems had existed in the past and rapport between inspectors and -

l their management had been strained previously in some areas. Comuni-i cations in the ASME code construction area appeared to be exceptionally i

positive.

i -

! All but a few inspectors were questioned regarding intimidation by

! craft. No significant problems were identified although two indivi-

! duals mentioned two incidents when the craft were upset with inspectors

! when problems wars found. No threats were made during these incidents.

Generallye the rapport between craft and inspection appeared to be very t

gcod.

Adequacy of the training program was discussed with approximately half i of the inspectors. Several indicated that the fomal training could be

! better, i.e., tougher (not necessarily more extensive) but femal l training, plus on-the-job training was adequate to perfom the j inspection functions. Many stated that the training was excellent.

Twenty inspectors felt no hindrance at all to talking with NRC and L indicated that the freedom to talk with NRC has been continually-stressed by management. Several indicated some apprehension about talking with NRC which appeared to be a natural fear of the position '

-,_-,.-,.--__---m _ . _ _ - . . _ .

63 NRC holds. Several were under the impression for a short while that they must have their "act together" if they were going to see the NRC,

but now appear to feel no hindrance. Most indicated they saw NRC inspectors regularly in the field but a majority indicated that they had not talked directly with NRC in the field.

Interviews of management indicated they were very supportive of inspectors and sensitive to inspector concerns. There appeared to be a strong encouragement for personnel to come forward with any concerns, as evidenced by a memorandum dated March 22, 1984, to all QA/QC personnel from the Site QA Manager. Postings indicating management support for inspectors and other personnel in identifying problems were

. prominent 1'y displayed along with NRC Form 3, NRC Information Notice 84-07 and 10 CFR 21 information.

(- In senmary, although some concerns were expressed requiring further --

3; review, these concerns did not appear to be excessive in number or t . _

5 . serious and would be normally expeqted during the interview process. ;

Generally, the most experienced inspectors had a high confidence in the quality of the plant. Past problems in communication and some past apprehension about management support had existed but there seems to have been a marked improvement in this area. No one indicated that past communication problems had caused them to not perform inspections properly or not to identify problems when found. Inspector freedom to identify problems and freedom to talk with NRC has apparently been strongly stressed. Management appeared t'o be sensitive to employee concerns and appeared to be seriously evaluating existing concerns.

b. In addition to formal interviews, numerous informal discussions were l

held between the NRC team personnel and site managers, craft, inspec-( tors, engineers, and office personnel as indicated previously in other i sections of this report. The comments received from these individuals l

were consistent with those received during the formal interviews.

' These discussions covered topics such as plant quality, training, l management support, and document control. ,

Appendix A, which follows, is a sanitized listing of concerns raised by individuals during the interview process. The concerns are only those which will require followup by the Comanche Peak Project Director.

The interviews were sanitized only so far as confidentiality is related. ,

!T. - craft complair.ed so procedure was revised to reduce number of ' }

inspections, 4 revisions made to delete requirements (bolt tight-ening,<etc.) _

- Has the impression that QA has been generally deficient at nuclear plants and QC has not been supported at Co,nanche Peak in the past.

- Indicated ma'in problem is probably him being able to adjust to non-ASME work: is not aware of code violations taking place.

65 Inspector Name: A-2 Date Interviewed:

G0neral

Background:

Interviewee Comments:

- Has some concern with use-as-is NCR situations, use-as-is seems particularly prevalent when using Specification ES-100.

~

- Specific Technical Concern: NCR was written when cable damage occurred during Biso Seal removal using a threaded rod. This occurred in Auxiliary Building, elev. 832'. NCR said no damage p was done to cable but some insulation had been scraped off by rod. Feel further evaluation may be in order for these cables and- '"

( there may be similar problems elsewhere.

- Specific: Wrote 2 NCR's regarding traceability of fuse blocks.

Blocks were not marked "Q". NCR said OK as-is because no non-Q blocks were purchased via order MS-605. Feels othee similar -

non-Q blocks have been purchased via different purchase order and could have been installed as Q. Thinks this a possible paperwork problem.

I

- Specific: Wrote recent NCR (not yet evaluated) on GE Motor .

Control Centers. Compression lugs have bends as much as 180 degrees (more than nomally done done by site constriction).

Don't think GE can violate requirements and may be -

a problem elsewhere in GE MCC's. Also have some broken wire strands which we are fixing as we find.

.I

- Specific: Hac previous paperwork conflict problem in solving rework of teminal blo:ks. 6 page RFIC involved and Proc. SAP-6 involved. Wrote 2 NCR's. NRC inspectors Creek and Johnson were aware, Creek told NRC inspector Taylor, Taylor told to have an answer. Never got feedback as to results.

I'

- Specific: Repaired a solenoid, shortly after coming to Comanche Peak in craft, without paperwork. Don't know if it was safety

< related. Not concerned with solenoid technically - did a

? good job.

f Notes: The specific concerns were given verbally to the SRI - Construction on'4/12/84 for further followup. It was indicated during the interview he would get more specifics for SRI. MCC problem was still being evaluated. I suggest allowing the licensee to evaluate and then followup for adequacy of corrective action. ,

General

Background:

a i Interviewee Coments:

- Generally concerned with finding numerous problems during past construction inspection and procedure being changed to delete inspection, e.g., loose terminations found in lighting.

~

- Some NCR's are answered simply that the problem is not addressed in Specification ES-100.

- Recent NCR written because restraint cable (lighting) crimp gages -

T -- #ere worn & therefore, inspection was inadequate. This is sti1T**.

'% being evaluated.- ,'

- Wires of two different gages were terminated at some lugs and many .

terminations are loose. ,

  • - Have more pressure not to write NCR's during turnover.

- Found loose LB's (elbow termination fittings) 9 East & South ends of Unit 1 Diesel Generators, wrote two NCR's, was accepted as is.

Found cables not trained (routed) in workmanlike manner in Unit 1 Cable Spread Room 9 junction boxes 1058 and 1059. NCR said OK because cable radius was OK but did not admit workmanship problem.

~

- Feels post construction inspectors were transferred to Unit 2 as .

[ retaliation for finding problems.

J - Heard second hand that .IR's (inspection reperts) were being L

written falsely (without reinspection) to clea. IIRN's (discrep-p Heard from lady in Paper Flow Group L

ancy)

(PFG and report) ladyonincable vault.trays.Said he would get back to NRC with more specifics.

]

!! Notes: Some review of the lighting tennination issue and post check j procedure was conducted by tean member Ruff. The site inspector j indicated he had told of most of these issues and QA was

" , evaluating. I forwarded concern relative to 1058 & 1059 junction boxes to RIV: Martin and he indicated he inspected these boxes and sees no technir.a1 problem. Resident Inspector: Smith partic-3 ipated in most of the interview ard indicated he was aware of the D/G loose fittings and sees no technical problem. I evaluated y reasons why 6 personnel including '

were transferred to Unit 2 and this move does not appear to be discriminatory.

General

Background:

Interviewee Coninents:

cable Uncomfortable with some use-as-is situations, e.g.,

separation problem found in fuel building during walkdown did not meet procedure but was evaluated as use-as-is. He crn shcw someone where it is.

- Wrote NCR on lack of S-thread engagement on a conduit fitting

- poor evaluation in that they simply said that couldn't see it; a second NCR was written on this area for cable damage, seemed to be-looking for a way to buy this area off, took two tries to get ' }

knows about this but didn't get back c.. ~ '

everytning evaluated.

- to him on fact that NCR's were poorly handled, i.e., non-tech- ~

- nical aspects.

~

- Feels discriminated against in that he was transferred to Unit 2 where there is no ?vertime. Got grilled on cable damage NCR at the same time as being counseled on a personnel issue so it appeared that his transfer had something to do with NCR.

Management is aware of this concern.

Note: I did not review this person's transfer situation.

General

Background:

i Interviewee Coments: .

- Had problems with post check, e.g., loose ' lighting tenninations and junction boxes. Took lighting out of procecure and made it more difficult to look at junction boxes. Management was made aware of these concerns. (Hasnosignificantsafetyconcern)

- More tendency toward use-as-is when pressure is on (safety p requirements are being met, however) _

~

T. - Has had some fear of talking with NRC, didn't think reporting ' i on-site would ever get off-site, doesn't have NRC RIV phone number

~

- Fiels discriminated against .by being transferred to Unit 2

- Some NCR evaluations are inaccurate or unclear, e.g., statement that workmanship was not compromised when in fact workmanship was poor but the item was technically acceptable r

Notes: I reviewed the transfer situation; appears to be reasonable but not as clear as reasoning on other 5 transfers. NRC Form 3 appears well posted so I'm not sure why he doesn't have the number. He does not appear to fear talking with NRC now.

Although, he stated he does not have significant safety / quality .

concerns, his coment on NCR answers is interesting. Similar general coments were received from other inspectors and this could indicate a need for better answers on NCR's. An example i would be that if a workmanship question was not addressed properly

. then perhaps needed retraining of personnel as preventive action would not get perfonned. Perhapss the licensee needs to improve in this area.

j STATEMENT OF THOMAS IPPOLITO, COMANCHE PEAK PROGRAM MANAGER, AT NEWS CONFERENCE ON THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1984 o

.y The objective of this news conference is to provide an cpportunity to

~ the news media to obtain information relative to (1) the Comanche Peak project's Technical Review Team, and (2) the Comanche Peak Special Review Team Report.

3 '

. The purpose of the review was to (1) evaluate the current implementation .

,s of the applicant's mr.,nagement control of the construction, inspection and test W programs; (2) provide an indepth understanding and background information to the NRC new management team established by Executive Director for Operations

& t" memorandum of March 12,1984; and (3) obtain information necessary to h establish a management plan for resolution of all outstanding licensing is actions. The team spent over 800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> performing this review.

$ The goal of the special team review rias been met in that (1) an q assessment of the applicant's current management ~ control of the construction, y- inspection and test programs has been made; (2) an indepth understanding has been achieved; and (3) information has been obtained to establish a management

, plan for the resolution of all outstanding licensing actions. '

With respect to the assessment of the applicant's management control of

, the construction, inspection and testing programs, the Special Review Team has a'

determined that based on the number and significance of the strengths vs.

weaknesses identified in this review, the applicant's programs are being

'sufficiently controlled to allow continued plant construction while the NRC completes its review and inspection of the facility.

Further, the review provided a sufficient understanding of these programs and their strengths and weaknesses to assist in the development of the

.) " Comanche Peak Plan for the Completion of Outstanding Regulatory Actions."

This plan was approved for implementation on June 5, 1984, t

NRC ASSEMBLES TECHNICAL REVIEW TEAM FOR COMANCHE PEAK The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has assembled a Technical Review Team (TRT) that will be gathering information at, the Texas Utilities Electric Company's Comanche Peak site for the next few weeks as the construction of the facility nears completion at Glen Rose, Texas. Onsite activities will be-managed by Thomas Ippolito, Project Directt r, under the direction of Darrell Eisenhut, Director, Division of Licensing in Washington, D.C.

A number of outstanding technical matters remain to be completed before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is ready to make its licensing decision. Included j are: (1) completion of review of TUGCo's Final Safety Analysis Report, (2) i completion of the NRC inspection activities related to construction completion j and preoperational testing, and (3) resolution of allegations received by the NRC regarding improper practices during construction of the Comanche Peak f acility.

Mr. Eisenhut, Mr. Ippo.lito, and John T. Collins, Region IV Administrator, _

Arlington, Texas, were dn Granbury, Texas on July 9 to to kick off the TRT

. effort. The team is co'mposed of staff from NRC headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland, Region IV and other NRC Regional Offices, and NRC consultants. The 2 information developed by this team will be used in making licensing decisions on Comanche Peak. Areas to be examined include the installation and testing of

. equipment as well as the' quality assurance aspects of construction. Of specific concern are allegations received by the NRC staff of improper construction practices. For these, the staff intends to determine the accuracy of the t ellegations, assess their overall importance and implications, and evaluate their safety significance.

The results of this team review will be published in an NRC safety evaluation report. In that document the NRC will describe the areas reviewed and the safety significance of any concern identified, and set forth any necessary corrective action.

Questions concerning these efforts should be directed to either Mr. Eisenhut, 4

Mr. Ippolito, or Mr. Collins. Mr. Eisenhut can be reached at (301) 492-7672 i

and Mr. Ippolito can be reached at the Comanche Peak TRT Office at (817)

, 897-3167, or in Washington, D.C. at (301) 492-7014. Mr. Collins can be reached at (817) 860-8225. -
