  • denotes those present at the exit interview.

2.

Facility Tour The inspector toured the facility on January 26 to verify licensee compliance with 10 CFR 20, Technical Specifications (TS) and procedure requi rements.

Posting and labeling and radiation area control were examined in the combined Unit 1 and 2 controlled area for compliance with 10 CFR 20.203 and procedures developed pursuant to Unit 2 T.S.

6.11 and Unit 1 T.S.

3.2.6.

Independent measurements were made to verify licensee posting.

Personnel working under Radiation Work Permit (RWP) numbers 1020 and 1049 were. observed to verify that they were ccmplying with the conditions of the RWP's.

Contamination control points (step-off pads) were maintained and contamination monitoring devices (portal monitors, hand and foot counters and friskers) were operational, calibrated and the alarms functional.

No items of noncompliance were identified.

Procedures The inspector reviewed two refueling maintenance procedures, one for the repair of Crosby valve 855 (part of the safety injection system) and one for steam generator eddy current testing and tube plugging for compliance with the criteria in Regulatory Guide 1.33 and ANSI standard N 18.7-1972.

The steam generator maintenance procedure referenced a temporary Health Physics procedure titled

" Steam Generator Primary Channel Head Work", which was also reviewed.

No items of noncompliance were identified.

4.

Advance Planning and Preparation The inspector reviewed the licensee's contractor entry control point and a modified gate' to control traffic behind the security desk at the current control point.. The contractor control point is capable of controlling traffic flow and preventing the spread of contamination outside the controlled area.

The inspector also reviewed the licensee's supplies and equipment to determine if they were adequate for the increased usage during the outage.

A tour was made of the licensee's Van Nest Shops where the steam generator mockup and other outage related items were located.

The inspector examined the full-scale (including interferences) steam generator mockup for eddy corrent testing and the full scale mockup for the placement of hand-holes and removal of tubes.

The use of these mockups should increase worker skill, greatly reduce exposure and facilitate resolution of difficulties encountered during the the task.

e 5.

Exit Interview The inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in Paragraph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on January 26, 1978.

The inspector summarized the scope and findings of the inspection.
