Items Discussed at the NRC/ CECO /ERC Meeting
January 3, 1985 9:00 a.m. ,
al
!
During Mr. Kaushal's presentation, it was stated that under CSR )element of BCAP, three populations will require document review only. |These three populations have been identified as Post Tensioning, Cored '
Holes and Cadwelds.
Mr Kostal stated, during the Sargent & Lundy presentation, that thetesting of the silicon bronze welding process has been established and thathe would keep the NRC informed of the test results in future meetings.
A discussion of the engineering evaluation of loose flex connectionson conduit centered around the approach that Sargent & Lundy will take toanalyze these discrepancies.
Mr. Smith presented the BCAP-QA activities for the month of Decemberduring which discussion centered around the recertification of BCAP- QAinspectors and the validation method used to evaluate BCAP Task Forceinspections.
Mr. Ham stated that the 1500 had found an inspection observation withan incorrect elevation stated on it which had been reviewed by the BCAPEngineering group without finding the error. The point was made that theTask Force should not count on catching problems of this type in the
,
Engineering review process. Mr. Ham stated that he had the understanding ,that BCAP would include the highly stressed items in the Engineering
; Judgement portion of the reinspection samples under CSR. Mr. Wallace ;'stated that CECO had planned to prepare a comprehensive presentation on the
subject of adverse locations and highly stressed samples which would bepresented at the February meeting.
This concluded the presentation from CECO and IEOG to the NRC. Atthis time the NRC opened the meeting for questions to the NRC from thepublic in attendance.
;
I
Mr. D. Cassel expressed a concern that the IBOG did not have acomplete understanding of how the highly stressed items were being included,
! in the reinspection sample under CSR.||

The NRC stated that the lack of a response to highly-stressed-items
question during this meeting did not hurt the BCAP Program. They furtherstated that they would wait until the February meeting to address thisafter the presentation on this topic is made by Ceco.
Mr. Cassel expressed a second concern which applied to the NRC Policyallowing third party independent groups to be hired by the utility ratherthan being hired by the NRC. Mr. Cassel said he was not suggesting that
BCAP was not operating properly nor was he questioning the integrity orqualifications of the IBOG or BCAP personnel, but rather wanted to expresshis concerns.
Mr. Forney of the NRC responded to Mr. Cassel's concern and statedthat in the past when the NRC was requested to pick the independent revieworganization, they (NRC) declined to do so. He further explained that inthe case of the BCAP IEOG, Region III did review the selection.
Mr. Davis of the NRC stated that the CECO selection of the independent
review organization (IEOG) for BCAP followed specifically the policyestablished by the commissioners of the NRC.
There being no further questions the next meeting was scheduled forFebruary 14, at 9:00 a.m. The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 a.m.

BRAIDWOOD STA? ION ;
6 BRAIDWOOD CONSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT PROGRAMREPORT PERIOD DECEMBER 1, - DECEMBER 31, 1984
1. SUlWIARY/ STATUS ;
|'
This is the sixth monthly Progress Report cn the Braidwood Construction ~jAssessment Program (BCAP), covering the period from December 1, through
December 31, 1984.
During this period, CSR inspections have progressed on an additional fivepopulations, bringing the total to eleven. Preparation of additionalinspection packages has continued. Document Review was also initiatedduring this period.. In the RPSR effort, accumulation of constructionrequirements from the FSAR for checklist preparation was completed. Useof Sargent & Lundy specifications for this purpose is nearingcompletion. Progress continues on all active programs in the RSCAPelement.
|As of December 31, the number of personnel assigned to the BCAP effort
1 has risen to 104. Satisfactory office and clerical support continues tobe available to the BCAP workforce.
,,
|
II. SCHEDULE ANALYSIS
The rescheduling effort was completed during this period. Resourcesrequired to support this schedule have been established and authorizedfor joining the BCAP workforce in January. Personnel additions inJanuary will include five engineers and 16 inspectors.
III. PERSONNEL AND BOUIPMENT STATUS
BCAP manpower totaled 104 as of December 31, 1984. No additionalInspectors were certified during December. Inspection personnelactivities included training, accessibility walkdowns, reinspections,document reviews and weld mapping.
The Mapper Data Base, for tracking observations and verificationpackages, is being updated regularly. Reports are issued monthly, and
i interim reports are available on an as-required basis.!
IV. BCAP BLEMENT STATUS
A. CSR STATUS
During this period, preparation of visual inspection packages andperformance of inspections continued. At this time, 11 populations
,
are being inspected: HVAC Ducts, Duct Hangers, HVAC Equipment,concrete Placements, Small Bore Pipe Configurations, Large Bore PipeConfigurations, Large Bore Pipe Rigid Pipe Supports, Large Bore
Large bore pipe bolted joints and small bore pipe bolted joints werecombined into a single population thus reducing the totalpopulations to 34.
In addition to the 11 populations now t*ing inspected, documentreview was started for Small Bore Pipe Configuration. Packages forthe random portion of the sample are being assembled for twoadditional reinspection populations and two additional documentreview populations. Technical review has been completed for 31 of76 checklists and instructions, of which 14 have been released forreinspection / review. Initial engineering judgment samples have beenidentified. Packages were issued and reinspection initiated forfour populations. Checklists and instructions for the remainingpopulations in each discipline are being developed.
During December, the number of certified inspectors remained at atotal of 22. This total reflects three Level III and nineteen LevelII inspectors. To date 544 inspections have been completed with 765observations recorded.
B. RPSR STATUS
During December, the RPSR group was primarily involved in developingchecklists with construction and personnel qualification /certification requirements from the FSAR and applicable Sargent &Lundy specifications. This effort consisted of breaking downreferenced codes and standards into construction requirements,preparing ten checklists to complete the total number of 29, andresolving open items. Finalization of the lists requires resolving
' two remaining open items and then conducting final reviews andsignoffs.
Contractor procedures have been assembled for review. Engineers whowill be involved are becoming familiar with the general content ofthese documents. The actual comparison of requirements inchecklists to articles in procedures is expected to commence uponfinalization of the checklists.
C. RSCAP STATUS
The nine RSCAP programs have progressed as follows:
a. Quality Control structural Steel Review - 95%.
b. Safety Related Pipe Supports - 90%.
% c. NSSS Component Supports - 70%.

i. Instrumentation Installation Verification - 30%
V. PROBLEMS /DISCREPENCY FINDINGS
A. Implementation Problems
No specific implementation problems were experienced during thisperiod.
B. Discrepancy Findings
N As reported in Section IV a total of ~165 observation reports havebeen written as of December 31, 1984. Of these the review forvalidity has been completed on 365. of these, 332 have beendetermined to be valid discrepancies and have been forwarded to
| Sargent & Lundy for review for design significance.
-ro date S&L has not identified any discrepancy as design significant. -
VI. RECOPEENDATIONS
; No specific recommendations are offered at this time.
On January 25, 1985, Messrs. Greenman, Forney, Gardner and Pelke discussedthe status of BCAP with Messrs. Wallace and Fitzpatrick during a teleconheld at the licensee's request.
Over the last few days, the licensee had received input from several sourceswhich caused them to take a midpoint look at the BCAP Construction SampleReinspection (CSR) activities. The sources included findings by ERC,the CAT team, R. Gardner and the licensee's QA organization. The midpointlook amounted to a stoppage of certain CSR inspections until the licenseecould ascertain the significance of the findings.
CSR activities were stopped in the areas of mechanical pipe supports,electrical hangers, and civil / concrete placements. Other areas of CSRwere allowed to continue. The licensee is implementing a program toaddress the problem areas including a repeat inspection of 160 mechanicalpipe supports, an assessment of the need to reinspect other BCAP populations,an assessment of the need for additional training of BCAP inspectors, andan assessment of the need to revise CSR checklists and instructions.
