On January 18,- 1987, 'the. inspector observed unsatisfactory-housekeeping conditions in the train Unit:3 A.ESF pump room in the. Safety Equipment. Building._ Testing had been conducted on

,

several of the check valves in the room during the previous

'

' shift and the room was left cluttered with 4 large bags-of contaminated P.C.s, several yellow poly bags,-tools, air hoses,

.

scaffolding, tape, oil, electric cords, kim wipes, wire, two~

dollies, flashlights'and trash.

In addition, a chainfall was

'

left hanging from the HPSI pump discharge piping.

'

o On January 18,- 1987,'while touring the Unit 3 piping penetration areas (rooms 207 and 209), the inspector observed that several bags'of contaminated P.C.s had been left in the area.

P.C.s were also littering the deck, there was a white bag of trash that had a single label to' indicate-fuel-flea contamination, and to'ols were left cluttering the area..Also present were air-

-hoses, a bucket of tools, I&C pressure testing equipment, an unsecured nitrogen bottle, a mop head, ISI tooling, unsecured

-

- scaffolding, an unsecured 6' ladder, a stain _less steel pressure

. flask, kim wipes, tape and solvent.

o On January 20, 1987, the inspector observed that two'4160 kv breakers had been-left adrift and un' secured in'the Unit 3 train

.

-A ESE switchgear room.

'

o On February 2, 1987, the inspector observed that a safety l

related nitrogen cylinder associated with Unit 1 pressurizer

relief and block valves (CV530, 531, 545 and 546) was improperly L

mounted to its storage rack in that one of the bolts which (

attaches one of two seismic restraints was not properly i

installed.

o On February 3, 1987, the inspector toured the Unit 3 containment and found an oxygen and an acetylene compressed gas cylinder

,

l secured to the fire sprinkler deluge piping near reactor coolant l

pump P-002 on the'45'-level.

The gas cylinders were only secured at one location (not two as required by the procedures).

'

A small nitrogen bottle charged to 2400 psi was found unsecured at the snubber test stand on the 45' level.

The actuator for valve 3HV-9342 was left hanging from a chainfall near safety injection tank (SIT) T008 on the 45' level.

The chainfall was rigged to a non Class 1E conduit (PUXWO4) and the load was left

.

unattended during a lunch break.

This condition

'

' appeared to be-typical of chainfalls that were'not-in use.

~

On February 3, 1987, the inspector' observed numerous nitrogen k o..

<

bottles which were not properly stored adjacent to safety

-

,

related equipment associated with the Unit 1 backup nitrogen system for reactor coolant pump seal supply' valves (RCP-FCV-1115E).

These bottles were not in permanent storage racks.nor were they secured in two places as required by. station y

housekeeping procedures.

~

o-10n February 5', 1987, the inspector observed'that a battery tool cabinet was'not properly secured in the Unit.1-battery inverter room as required by station housekeeping procedures.

'The inspector-discussed these observations with the licensee...The-licensee stated that.they had recognized the problem with the-

= unsecured nitrogen cylinders, and-issued CAR #S0-P-1023.,The

-. licensee agreed that-the specific conditions 1dentified by the '

inspector were unacceptable, but considered that.these conditions were isolated examples and that housekeeping has actually been

'

improving from one outage to another.

The inspector stated that,

.although conditions may have been improving, the above observations indicated a need for further improvement.

The licen::ee stated that additional emphasis would be given to.these areas.

Inadequate ~ licensee implementation of station requirements associated with work! practices and housekeeping has been addressed in' previous

' inspection reports and continues to be;a significant concern. This

. item remains. unresolved pending additional review (50-362/86-38-01).

Implementation of Post Trip Review

-

Following a February 5, 1987 reactor, trip-(see paragraph 3.a below)

the inspector' toured the control room and plant equipment areas involved'during-the~ event.

As a result of this tour, the inspector noted the following-instances for which;the licensee did not perform

-

an adequate post-trip review evaluation:

.

1).

P1 ant' Protection System-(PPS). Channel B did.not provide indication of a pretrip on low DNBR at'.the local PPS panel, although the panel did~ indicate a channel B trip on low DNBR.

The other three'PPS' channels all indicated both pretrip and trip

'

on low'DNBR.

The licensee did not' observe this condition during their post trip review process and the condition was~ not evaluateduntilpointedoutbythefinspector.

'

2)

The oiler on'the outboard pump bearing for the steam driven

,

auxiliary feedwater pump (2P140) was empty following post trip operation of the pump.

This condition was also observed earlier

,

by a plant equipment operator who took~ action to correct, document and report the observed condition. However, this

Evaluation of Plant' Trips and Eventis-a.

Reactor Trip on February 5, 1987 (Unit 2).

.

,

Unit'2 tripped from 100% reactor power at 0759 on' February 5,1987."

At the' time of the reactor' trip, a design. change was being.made to

>

J the Unit 3 feedwater regulating valve downstream block valve,.

3HV-4051.; A contract electrician was conducting circuit continuity tests associated with the design change and apparently entered the-electrical panel for Unit 2 instead.of Unit 3.

Subsequently, valve-

.

2HV-4051 went closed and the control" operator manually trippad the

'

reactor. when he' noticed steam generator water level decreasing.

Although~the. applicable electric panels for Unit 2 and 3 were located in the same room, the panels were clearly labeled and'the electrician

' ~

was simply inattentive. The inspectors noted that plant operators in

~

the control room at the time of this event wer'e particularly alert

.

and responsive-to indications of feedwater system malfunction.

The f

. unit was returned to service on February 7, 1987.

f b.

Improper Setting of Main Steam Safety Valves (Units 2/3)

-On February 5,_1987, the; licensee. advised the inspector that the main

.

steam, safety valves for units 2=and'3 may not be set at the relief

.

.

pressures: identified in the un'it technical specifications.

The

.

"

licensee stated that the reason for this concern was that the test device-(supplied by-Dresser Industries) used for settin'g the safety valves:(supplied.by' Crosby) did not use the correct parameter for diskJarea ratio in calculating valve lift settings.

The licensee

-

indicated that-the error could account for actual valve settings

Loss of Voltage.(LOVS) and Sequencing Relay

and Circuit Test

,

'

During performance of' paragraph 6.1.3.9 of Procedure S03-II-11.'1, the

~

inspector observed that one of the-Loss of Voltage relays ~(127F4) did not trip within the specified time of 2.47 to 2.73 seconds when the-

-voltage was. instantaneously reduced'from 120 VAC to 80-VAC. The

~

technician did not adhere to the procedure in that he did not record

the trip time of the relay. 'Instead,1the technician went on to'

-

pa'ragraph 6.1.3.'10 and calibrated the relay. :The desired time was

,

obtained,;and the technician repeated paragraph 6.1.3.9 and recorded

the calibrated response time'on the data' record as directed by paragraph 6.1.3.11 of the' procedure.

The technician did not fully comply with' paragraph-6.1.3.11, however,:because he did not repeat paragraphs 6.1.3.7 and 6.1.3.8 which was,also required by paragraph-6.1.3.11 of;the' procedure. :After recording the trip time on the data record, the technician went'en to calibrate the next relay.

-The inspector discussed these observations with the licensee.

The licensee concluded that,the intent of the procedure was only to record the calibrated value and that recording the "as found" value

-

was not intended or required.

This item remains unresolved pending additional' review (50-362/86-38-02).

.

Aside from the procedure compliance issue, the inspector observed that the initial trip time of relay 127F4 was 2.2 seconds.

Paragraph 6.1.3.9 of the procedure specified an acceptance criterion of 2.47 to 2.73 seconds.

The technician did not document this deficient condition so that it could be evaluated or trended. The inspector

reviewed the surveillance procedure and found that it did not provide a formal mechanism for reporting and evaluating out of tolerance conditions if they could be corrected during the calibration process.

This appears to be contrary to the requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI.

The inspector reviewed the licensee's Topical Quality Assurance Manual (TQAM), which implements the requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix B.

Chapter 5-D of the TQAM states that only those nonconformances which cannot be corrected by existing procedures or instructions shall be identified, documented and controlled.

As noted above, this appears to be contrary to the regulatory requirements and Regulatory Guide 1.30, as committed to in the TQAM.

Regulatory Guide 1.30 implements ANSI N45.2.4, " Installation,-

Inspection, and Testing Requirements for Instrumentation and Electric

Equipment During the Construction of Nuclear Power Generating Stations" dated 1972, for operating nuclear power plants.

Paragraph 2.6 of ANSI N45.2.4 states:

" Defects, deficiencies, discrepancies, or other nonconforming situations shall be resolved in accordance with established procedures.

These procedures shall provide for identifying, documenting, and obtaining authorization for resolving each nonconforming situation."

such as housekeeping,eprocedure compliance and. foreign materialL exclusion with.the licensee.

It appeared:that the licensee was well

During

,

material exclu~sion; controls were' properly implemented, and control of:

'

fuel movement was properly coordinated and tracked from the control

~

'-

room.,Thelinspectors provided the following comments relative to

~

observed refueling operations:

.

.,

1)-

The in'spector noted that unit technical specifications do not require containment integrity during reactor vessel head lift.

Although the inspector noted that inadvertent criticality does not appear to.be credible'during head lift (e.g. based on a minimum allowed boron' concentration-of.1720 ppm during refueling, the' control rods only appear to contribute -

approximately 5% of a total of approximately 24% shutdown during head removal operations), the apparent intent of the specifications as currently written is to require containment-integrity.for any manipulations involving core internals.

Since head removal is one of the most vulnerable periods for inadvertent and undetected control rod withdrawal, the inspector-requested that the licensee evaluate whether core alteration technical specification controls should be extended to cover

'

head removal. This is an open item (50-362/86-38-06).

t 2)

The' inspector noted that the rubber hoses which provide

_g.

inflation pressure to the cavity refueling seal did not appear

,

to'be adequately protected where they extend down the side of the refueling cavity.

If these hoses were inadvertently damaged, it is likely that the refueling cavity above the reactor vessel flange elevation would be drained into the reactor plant. This is an open item (50-362/86-38-07).

Independent Inspection a.

Control of Temporary Modification To Safety Related Equipment (Unit 1)

On February 2,'1987, the inspector observed that a temporary modification had been performed to the safety related nitrogen system which supplies-backup control air to the pressurizer power operated relief valves (PORVs) and their associated block valves (CV530, 531, 545 and 546).

It was observed that the nitrogen cylinders which had been installed by the original DCP had been replaced with shorter cylinders.

To accommodate the manifold connections and storage rack supports, wood blocks were used to raise the shorter cylinders.

The block valves are required by the plant' technical specifications to isolate a stuck open PORV.

The block valves are fail open valves and a backup nitrogen system is required to ensure that the block valves will remain closed under assumed accident conditions.

The backup nitrogen system was it. stalled by Design Change 79-31 and 81-30 in order to meet NUREG-0578 requirements.

A 10CFR50.59 safety evaluation was performed for these Design Changes and Design Change 81-30 states that "The bottles and piping shall be supported as Seismic Category A, Safety Related."

At the time of the inspection, the licensee was unable to provide any documented 10CFR50.59 safety evaluation addressing the observed temporary modification.

The licensee did, however, promptly correct nitrogen cylinder supports and connections after the inspector identified the deficiency.

This item remains unresolved pending additional review (50-206/86-49-02).

b.

Control of Rigging Evolutions Associated with Safety Related Equipment (Unit 3)

On January 18, 1987, the inspector observed that a chainfall was rigged to a four-inch discharge pipe on HPSI pump 3P-017.

The chainfall had been used to aid in disassembly of a 16" check valve (1204-MUO88).

The inspector reviewed the licensee's procedure for conducting rigging evolutions, 50123-I-1.13, and noted that little guidance was provided for rigging from safety related equipment.

The licensee stated that rigging from safety related equipment was allowed and damage to the equipment was prevented by providing extensive training to the riggers and limiting the load being lifted to 1500 pounds.

The procedure required that loads in excess of 1500 pounds receive engineering review and approval.

The load limitation was established by taking into consideration the specific training required for riggers and consideration of limitations that have previously been established for the placement of lead shielding and erection of scaffolding.

The licensee stated that a specific 50.59 review had not been performed relative to the generic 1500 pound load limitation because the licensee believed that damage to safety related equipment would be prevented by the existing programs and policies that pertain to l

It appears to the' inspector that rigging from plant equipment'is a

, type of temporary facility modification since an external load is being applied to the equipment that was not previously included in the design analysis.

This' item remains unresolved pending additional

review (50-362/86-38-08).
