Unresolved Items Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required to determine whether they are acceptable or may involve violations or deviations.

New unresolved items identified during this inspection are discussed in paragraph 9(b).

5.

Independent Inspection Effort The senior resident inspector made 6 surveillance tours during which the status of project work was noted, and construction activities were inspected on nuclear safety-related structures, systems and facilities. The inspection was concentrated on Plant A power block structures, but included outlying structures such as the Plant A essential service water pump stations, earthfill for the A-1 and A-2 spray ponds, the intake pumping station, and valve stations and electrical conduit vaults between the spray pounds and north of the condenser cooling water pump house.

Open Item control:

Newly issued Nonconformance Reports (NCRs), significant Quality control Inspection Reports (QCIRs) and QA Unit audit findings were reviewed for pertinence to the inspection program and for adequacy of corrective actions.

Review of QCIR's and NCR's did not disclose any violations or unresolved items.

Welding: The resident inspector observed repairs to the A-2 plant leak chase channels in the fuel building shipping cask pool (-30'9" level).

This repair was necessitated for the corrective action of Non-compliance NCR number HNPA-138 where the removal of concrete from leak chase channels was accompl ished. Work Package C-380-f16 Addendum 2 was reviewed for drawing and procedural requirements.

Work activities observed by the inspector included cutting, fitting and preparation for welding of leak chase channels.

The inspector also observed welding activities in the steam tunnel restraint, auxiliary building of Plant A-1.

Drawings 822064-00-075 through 077 and weld map AIA-SRS-1 were reviewed.

Weld procedure specification Sft-PI-SMU-1 and SMII-B-1(5.5) Addendum 1 were appl ica ble.

AWS-01.1 1979 is the applicable code for welding of the steam tunnel restraint.

Other welding activities observed were hangers and supports in Plant A-1 auxiliary building at elevations -10' to -31' level Support identified as X17-125-AM2-G, Work Procedure AIA-SSP-H-1 activity C007, drawing 320-125-Af12, Revision 0, with DCN's 1 through 4, was observed in progress of welding and inspection activites. Weld procedure specification Sl111-B-3A, Revision 0, was applicable.

X17-244-FEl-MKC, X17-65-FEl-ItKB, X17-111-AE2-f1KC, and X17-112-AE2-MKI.

The resident inspector observed liquid penetrant examination in progress on RCIC piping girth weld identified as AIARC0100R01.

Applicable procedure was QCI-fi-101, Revision 4.

A Level II liquid penetrant inspector, certified to SitT-TC-1A requirements, performed the examination. The examination was performed in accordance with referenced procedure requirements and the inspection results were acceptable.

A-2 containment vessel welding of fourth ring segment number 4-13 was observed in progress. Weld procedure specification (WPS) Sit-11-BU, Revision 4, was applicable. Welder qualifications and adherence to WPS requirements were verified. Applicable code for containment welding is the ASitE boilder and pressure vessel code,Section III, Subsection f1E,1974 edition, including addenda through S74.

Within the area inspected, no violations or dev.ations were identified.

Lakes, Dams, and Canals-Review of Work and Work Activities--Earth Fill for

.

Plant A Spray Ponds The inspector made random inspections of earth placement, compaction and compaction testing on the earth work for Plant A essential service water spray ponds. Compaction testing in the field was inspected. Whenever the resutis was unacceptable, the sampled area was reworked and retested until adequate compaction was obtained.

'

Placement and compaction of earth fill for the peripheral dikes around the spray ponds is controlled by Specification N6C-875 Earth and Rock Founda-tions and fills. By observation of placement and testing operations, the inspector verified compliance with Specification N6C-875 and with quality control procedure QCI-102, Foundation and Fill, Earthfill Control Testing.

In the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.

Because of the number of valves in storage, valves are verified by warehouse number only.

This practice was recently initiated without written procedure. revision or approval.

TVA's Division of Construction itanual CEP 13.02, Revision 4, Section 3 " Preservation and Maintenance of Items" specifies that a " prevent card" will be maintained for each item requiring preventive maintenance.

The licensee was advised that either the valve preventive maintenance records should conform to the procedures, or the procedure should be revised to reflect the method of recording preventive maintenance. The site licensee personnel have

'

initiated a proposed revision of'the method of recording periodic naintenance for valves. This item is identified as Unresolved Item 518/81-18-01 and 520/81-18-01, Revision to Procedure for Recording Periodic Maintenance for Valves.

In addition to the above, one item (Residual Heat Removal Pump S/N 751-S-1321 f1PL #E12-C-001) had no preventive maintenance record on file. The receiving inspection report was issued. February 28, 1979.

Failure to control preservation of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions to prevent damage or deteri-oration is considered to be in violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII, and is identified as VIO 518/81-18-02, Failure to provide preventive maintenance to safety-related components (Procedure 50073C)

c.

The inspector observed installation in progress of the reactor water clean up pump in the Auxiliary Building, Plant A-1 (ADG 13), ana residual heat removal piping installation at the -6 foot level of the Auxiliary Building. Work procedures, drawings and special processes were specified in the applicable work package.

Qualifications of welders were verified, as well as adherence to procedure requirements.

(Except as noted in subparagraph b, no violations or deviations were identified.)
