Areas ~ Discussed'at Management Meeting a.
Facilities to be provided for the resident-inspectors.
b.
Provisions for telephone service including a plant telephone extension and the NRC dedicated line from the site to NRC~ Emergency Operations _ Center in Bethesda, Marylan.
.
c.
Interface responsibilities for communications equipment installa-tion.
d.
Accessibility of NRC Resident Inspectors to members of the public.
e.

f.
Office space requirements, g.
All parties concurred on administrative and operational considera-tions needed to establish an on-site NRC resident inspection office.
A tour of the facility was conducted which included the proposed interim office space for the resident inspectors.
The licensee was informed that the allotted space was inadequate based on the office equipment that would have to be placed in the area to support the resident inspectors and clerical assistant.
NRC representatives were shown a larger office trailer on-site and determined that this space appeared adequate.
The licensee committed to provide a similar office trailer that would replace the existing smaller trailer by March 31, 1980.
3.
Plant Tour The inspector conducted an inspection tour of accessible areas of the plant, including the Primary Auxiliary Building, Turbine Building, Switch Gear Room, Diesel Generator Rooms, HP Control Point, and yard areas.
Details and findings are noted below.
a.
Monitoring Instrumentation and Annunciators Control Board monitoring instrumentation for power range nuclear instrument channels, pressurizer pressure and level, main coolant system average temperature, delta T, and inlet temperature, refueling water storage tank level, axial flux offset, control-rod position, and radiation process monitors were obs3rved and compared with Technical Specification requirements several times during the inspection. Control board annunciators were observed for abnormal alams each time the inspector was in the Control Room.
No items of noncompliance were identifie.
.
b.
Radiation Controls Radiation controls established by the licensee, including posting and controls established for radiation /high radiation areas, radiological surveys, condition of step-off pads, and the disposal of protective clothing were observed for conformance with the requirements of 10 CFR 20 and Technical Specifications.
No items of noncompliance were identified.
c.
Plant Housekeeping Plant housekeeping conditions, including general cleanliness and storage of materials to prevent fire hazards, were observed in all areas toured to verify conformance with QA 1.2-2.4, " Housekeeping Requirements." No fire nazards were identified and general cleanliness was acceptable, d.
Fluid Leaks and Piping Vibration Systems and equipment in all areas toured were observed for the existence of fluid leaks and abnormal piping vibration.
No abnonnal conditions were identified.
e.
Pipe Hangers / Seismic Restraints Spring pipe hangers and hydraulic shock suppressors installed on various piping systems throughout the plant were observed for proper installation, orientation, position, and fluid levels as applicable.
No discrepancies were identified.
f.

requirements; Plant Information Reports confirm there are no violations of
--
Technical Specification requirements; Logs and records are maintained in accordance with Technical
--
Specification and the procedures in 4.a above.
The review included discussions with licensee personnel and the c.

readings that do not meet stated acceptance criteria are not
--
annotated, highlighted or noted in the remarks section as to the reason for the out of specification condition.
In addition, supervisory personnel charged with the responsi-bility for review of the log sheets were not always aware of the out of spec condition or the reason.
ranges of acceptance values have not been established for
--
all parameters associated with Technical Specification requirements.
quality of control room log sheets are very poor e.g. copies
--
are illegib1'
od acceptance values often omitted when reproduced ;
master copy.
The licensee concurred with the inspectors' comments and stated that a review of all log sheets will be performed and the items identified by the inspector will be corrected.
