Failure to follow procedures for concrete agitation and vibration.

The RII inspector examined a proposed draft corrective action response to the above inspection finding which revealed.considera-

ble indoctrination and a special retraining session have been conducted on vibration specifications for the manual placement crews including Journeymen, foremen and a general foreman.A%tend-ance records for the subject training session were examined to insure that this instruction was indeed implemented and documented.

Discussions with several attendees of the session revealed the training was beneficial.

The Batch Plant Superintendent has reinstructed his concrete truck drivers to reset their truck drum revolution counters to a zero reading prior to being loaded by the central mix plant and to maintain drum rotation at agitating speed while in the stand-by position.The RII inspector witnessed the partial placement of reactor containment building placement 110-B and noted that proper vibration techniques and concrete agitation measures were being implemented.

This item will remain open until the licensee's official response has been received and evaluated.

3.Unresolved Items No unresolved items were identified.

4.Inde endent Ins ection Effort Containment Structural Concrete I-Observation of Work Performance and Work Activities The RII inspector observed the preparation, concrete delivery techniques, partial placement, inspection and testing for reactor containment base mat placement Section 110-B.The activities associated with the subject concrete placement were inspected for conformance to the following acceptance criteria: Sections 3.8.1, 3.8.3 and 17 of the PSAR;Ebasco Specification FL0-2998.473, Rev.No.3;Construction Site Procedure CSP-2;Quality Instructions 10.3, 10.4, 10.6, 10.11, 10.71, 10.76;ANSI-45.2.5 standards; and construction drawing Nos.2998-G-488 Rev.5, 2998-G-490 Rev.2 and 2998~491, Rev.4.

Review of Contractor A Manual The PSAR, Chapter 17, paragraph 17.1.4.3, specifies the FP&L suppliers QA program evaluation commitments.

The detailed instruc-tions for evaluation of a supplier's QA program are provided in Quality Procedure No.QP 7.4,"Evaluation of Contractor's/Suppliers QA Program and Procedures." In accordance with contract No.NY-422501 the licensee obtained CBI's services to furnish, fabricate, shop paint, deliver, unload, haul, errect, single stage post-weld heat treat, test and field paint the steel containment vessel with all appurtenances, equipment hatches, personnel locks and other penetrations in strict accordance with specified Ebasco specifications and drawings.FP&L's Audit No.08.03.CBI.77.1 conducted January 17-18, 1977 on CBI's QA activities resulted in no unsatisfactory findings and verified the adequacy of CBI's QA program and related procedures.

The RII inspector reviewed Division 4, entitled"Construction" of the CBI"Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual for ASME Section III Products," issue No.6 dated April 3, 1975 to assure adequate plans and procedures had been established for their scope of work.This review included site organization, control of material and processes, control of conditions adverse to quality, document control, test control and control of test equipment, control of quality records and audits.Within the areas examined, no items of noncompliance or deviation were identified.

6.Site Audits The PSAR, Chapter 17.1.18.5, specifies the FP&L audit commitments.

The detailed instructions for conducting and scheduling audits are provided in Quality Procedure Nos.QP 18.1 and 18.2.The FP&L internal audit system was inspected and it was found that seven audits had been conducted between May 31 and July 27, 1977.

RII Rpt.No.50-389/77-3 I-4 In the conduct of these audits, the licensee identified two items needing corrective action and the required corrective action was found to have been accomplished in a timely manner..No items of noncompliance or deviation were identified.

7.Base Mat Un lanned Construction Joint-S.E.uadrant 10 CFR 50.55 e A meeting was conducted by Ebasco's Senior Resident Engineer and their New York design engineering representative to brief the RII inspector, site manager and FP&L QA personnel on the latest proposed plans for completing the subject aborted placement.

Cross sections of existing concrete profiles were displayed and details involving proposed lift thickness, consolidation of the concrete and the documentation of the repair work was discussed.

Ebasco determined that no additional rebar must be added nor are shear keys necessary to meet the intent of original design.Ebasco's evaluation report of the subject matter is presently being submitted to FP&L's corporate QA for comments and should be received by the NRC soon in accordance with requirements.

The RII inspector examined the subject placement and observed corrective action consisting of chipping and cleaning operations in progress.No items of noncompliance or deviation were identified.

8.Exit Interview The inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in para-graph 1)at the conclusion of the inspection and summarized the scope of inspection activities and findings relative to: the independent inspection effort (denoted in paragraph 4);the CBI QA Manual review (paragraph 5);the FP&L site audits examined (para-graph 6);and discussed the licensee's actions taken relative to the previously identified noncompliance (paragraph 2)and the reported 50.55(e)item (paragraph 7).The inspector stated that there were no new noncompliances, deviations or unresolved items found during this inspection.

The licensee had no questions or dissenting comments.
