Background
Millstone Unit No. 2 Technical Specifications require that two of the four vide range flux monitor channels be operable during shutdown and core alterations. On October 9, 1990, vide range channels A, B and D vere operable and being used to satisfy the Technical Specifications requirement. Intermittent spiking of the dravar indication has been a long standing problem. Over the past two years, six AV0s have been implemented to troubleshoot and resolve this problem. Efforts to determine the exact cause in the past have been inconclusive because the spiking is not repeatable on demand. Recent efforts to isolate the fault included interchanging the A draver into the C cabinet. This has proven successful in isolating the prt,blem to that draver as opposed to the rest of the channel's components. Current plans for resolving this problem include preparation of a spare drawer to allow one for one replacement and evaluating the need to upgrade the system to one of a design easier to maintain and more resistant to EMI.
Response
It is not an acceptable practice to " bang on" electronic equipment to resolve a problem. As the spiking problem with this draver is an intermittei , one, poor electrical connections are a possible cause.
Movement of the draver and the components within it has been attempted in an effort to determine a causal relationship. No repeatable response has been established.
- 2) "C" channel cable has been damaged and this damage has affected readings on the channel. The channel has "lov IR" readings on the cable.
Response
Vhile replacing the channel "C" cabling, the cable outer conductor was 6 damaged. NCR 290-110 documented this damaged condition and described the repair in the disposition details. Subsequent testing of the cable was performed under AVO M2-90-ll450 and shoved the repair to be satisfactory and the "IR* to be within the specification limit.
- 3) A PDCR to change out the channels continues to be open and until closed and signed off, the channels cannot be operable.
Background
PDCR MP2-90-072 vas written to address the replacement.of vide range cable pull boxes and junction boxes. The equipment was accepted by Operations on November 2, 1990 after satisfactory retest. The PDCR vas closed on November 9, 1990.

Operations then determines the operability of the system based on the overall system status. The closeout of the PDCR document Its status, after the AVO is follows the closeout of the AVO document.
accepted by Operations, does not affect the operabil'ty of the system.
Issue 1.b._
i The I&C technicians have been under pressure to allow the_ (above) discrepant conditions to continue to exist with the channel considered operable to allow fuel alterations to occur.
Response
The intermittent spiking of the "A" vide range dravu has been a f rustrating problem for I&C technicians to deal with. During refueling activities, the appropriate _ conservative action has been taken when a problem such as EMI interference has caused any of the operable channels to be of suspect status.
These: include Steps 5.5 and 5.6 of Engineering Procedure gN-21008.
During the refueling activities of the 1990 refueling outage, technical specification requirements for flux monitoring vere met. No situations associated with the vide range nuclear instruments during core alterations occurred that required specific determination of operability by PORC.
Maintenance and surveillance testing was done in accordance with PORC approved procedures. The detector, junction box, and cable replacement activities vere accomplished to correct EE0 deficiencies. PORC has reviewed and anoroved an operability evaluation of the vide range nuclear instrumentation on December 12, 1990, PORC 42-90-192. This evaluation addressed the environmental qualification of the system.as required by 10CFR50.49 Issue 2 The "ovner" of the vide range nuclear instrument procedure, SP-2417H, was not consulted for a recent procedure change processed to support outege activities. This is contrary to I&C Department policy.
Background
ACP-0A-3.02 contains the station requirements for the reviev and approval of procedures. Procedure Unit revisions are required to be reviewed by the department 2 I&C has a department specific instruction (3.01) on head and by PORC, department procedures to ensure that consistent, high quality procedures result from the department's efforts. Department instruction 3.01 currently includes guidance on the development of revisions. It also discusses the use

planner to indicate what scope and the number of reviews necessary for any given revision.
The concept of each procedure having a procedure owner was implemented in 1988 to make the procedure review and revision process more offective and efficient. Previously, procedures were not assigned individual responsibility below the department head level. This concept has proven effective in allowing the procedure owner to be the focal point for resolving issues associated with the procedure.
The refueling outage vide range nuclear instrumentation work activities were assigned primarily to one 160 specialist. This specialist was assigned to dayshift-throughout the outage. During the work activity, he foundThe the PMMS existing procedure deficient and prepared the necessary revision.
planner, with the department head's concurrence, deleted the normal practice of having one of the reviews done by the procedure owner. The basis for this change in the normal department practice was the availability of other and better qualified reviewers. The procedure 'ovner" vas on nightshift during this time frame and was involved in other important issues of his ovn.
Response
Adequate Revision 3 of 1C-2417H vas not revieved by the procedure "ovner".
This issue was raised by review in lieu of the procedure "ovner" did occur.

- b. Vere single page AV0s appropriate in the prst to ensure E0 requirements were satisfied? (If a reviev of single pago AV0s is conducted, please discuss the sample size and effort to ensure that the sample is representative).
Response
Unit 2 Maintenance and Unit 2 Engineering conducted a review of allThe one-page AV0s (152 AV0s) that had been written for EE0 equipment.
result of the review indicated that none of the AV0s were actually used to direct any EE0 activitien, and therefore, ne challenges to EQ requirements were created by the use of one-page AV0s on the associated equipment.
- c. ACP-0A-2.16 van revised on September 11, 1990 to require that maintenance on EE0 equipment be documented on three-page AV0s (Reference HH-90-214, dated November 5,1990). Vhy was this revision required?
Response
The revision to ACP-0A-2.16 was part of the periodic review of procedures.
The paragraph specifying the use of QA AV0s was primarily revisedThe to word address EQ equipment replacements (Section III.d. paragraph 2).
changes to paragraph 1 of Section III.d were not meant to change the intent. As stated in the response to Item 1 above, a clarification to this concern vill be issued.
- d. Are motor-operated valve cover gaskets replaced or are torque switch settings changed when using single page AV0s? If so, is this satisfactory to ensure EE0 requirements?
Response
As stated in the response to Item 2 above, Unit 2 Maintenance revieved all one-page AV0s that had been written for EE0 equipment. There vere no one-page AV0s written, nor vere there any descriptions of actual work performed to change torque switch settings or replace motor-operated valve cover gaskets.

' U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission A09163/Page 7 December 21,.1990 2-MS-1908 is on our E0HL, the electrician was directed to remove and investigate the existing terminatton and re-terminate the solenoid valve correctly.
The "as found" termination was inspected by two Unit 2 electricians and a OC inspector. All agreed that the braided material on the solenoid valve leads appeared to be under the Raychem sealing leg of the breakout which is not acceptable for an E0 termination. The termination was removed and replaced.
The termination that was removed was given to a Maintenance engineer for The termination was partially cut open, and it was destru:tive examination.
evident that the braided material had not been removed from the solenoid valve leads. An NCR (290-362) was generated to document the non-conforming termination and the associated rework. A PIR (90-143) was initiated to address reportability of the incident. The PIR vas dispositioned as not reportable. The partially opened termination and a copy of the inspection sheet for the original termination vere turned over to the Quality Services Department so their involvement with the original termination could be investigated. The Electrical Supervisor had a discussion with the Job Supervisor concerning the problem with the original termination and the importance of following procedures.
Atter our review and evaluation, we find that none of these issues taken either singularly or collectively present any indication of-a compromise of nuclear safety. Ve appreciate the opportunity to respond and explair. the basis for our actions. Please contact-members of my staff if there are any further questions on any of these matters.
