DETAILS 1.
Persons Contacted Rochester Gas and Electric Com an
- James C. Bodine, Nuclear Assurance Manager
"D.
R. Gent, Results and Test Supervisor
- Roger W; Kober, Vice President, Electric Production
"T. Schuler, Operations Manager
"Bruce A. Snow, Superintendent, Nuclear Production
- Stanley M. Spector, Superintendent, Ginna Production
- J. A. Widay, Technical Manager U.S. Nuclear Re ulator Commission
- T. J. Polich, Senior Resident Inspector In addition to the above, the inspector contacted and held discussions with other licensee personnel (including engineers, supervisors, managers, and control room operators)
during the course of this inspection.
2.0 Surveillance Testin Pro ram The inspector reviewed documentation to ascertain whether the licensee had developed and effectively implemented programs for surveillance testing and calibration, and for inspections required by the plant Technical Specifications
,(TS).
The inspector also interviewed and held discussions with licensee personnel and cognizant plant management to assess their knowledge and understand-ing of the program requirements, and to review responsibilities assigned to various departments, sections, and groups of the licensee organization.
The surveillance test program is managed by use of a
computer program, which schedules and tracks the implementation of individual tests.
A monthly as well as a
weekly surveillance schedule is regularly issued to.initiate and control surveillance activities.
The inspector found the program to be adequate to initiate, track, and control surveillance testing at the plan.2 Surveillance Procedures and Records The inspector reviewed surveillance test procedures and a
random sample of completed surveillance test records to determine if the surveillance of safety-related systems and components were being performed in accordance with approved procedures, and also to ascertain if the approved procedures were adequate to accomplish the intended test and obtain valid results.
Documents reviewed are listed in section Attachment 1 to thi s report.
Areas reviewed in this inspection were:
Reactivity Control and Power Distribution Reactor Coolant System Emergency Core Cooling System Plant Emergency Electrical Power System 2.3
~Findin n
Based on the above review, the inspector determined that:
a.
A master schedule.for TS surveillance testing, cal.ibration, and functional testing of systems had been established.
b.
The responsibi liti'es for maintaining and updating the schedule was established and assigned by procedures.
C.
The responsibility for review and evaluation of data, reporting and controling deficiencies and ensuring that required surveillance/calibration was satisfied and had been established by procedures.
d.
Procedures included required prerequisites and preparation for tests, acceptance criteria, instruction and steps to ensure that the system or components were restored to an operating status after the test; and appeared to meet the intent of the TS surveillance testing requirements'he inspector, however, noticed that the starting time and date of any particular test was not clearly documented on either the test procedure or the control room log; although, the control room log and the test procedure clearly indicated the date and time
- of the completion of the test should be entered.
The inspector's concern was 'hat in many surveillance testing situations, the system configuration would not be exactly the same as normal operating
'S
configuration of the system.
Therefore, if a system was undergoing any surveillance testing and/or calibration, the starting time:. and date for such tests were important data to be recorded to document the test status of the system and/or component during that time.
The period of time it took to complete a
test is also important information in the post-test-review of test data to determine the adequacy and validity of the test results.
The inspector discussed the absence of these data with the licensee management.
The inspector was later informed that the plant management concurred with the inspector's concern and they had initiated steps to record this information in the control room log and the surveillance test procedure.
The inspector had no further questions in this regard.
No violations or deviations were identified.
3.0 Maintenance Pro ram The inspector reviewed the licensee's Maintenance Program to determine if the licensee was implementing an effective maintenance program that met the plant technical specifications (TS), regulatory requirements, industry codes and standards, and commitments made by the licensee.
To ascertain the adequacy and effectiveness of the program, the inspector reviewed procedures, quality assurance requirements, and held discussions with cognizant personnel.
The inspector also performed a general walk-through inspection of the plant to assess general status of plant equip-ment and systems, labels and tags, any obvious mechanical problem, and the general housekeeping in the plant.
Based on the above, the inspector determined that the general housekeeping in the plant was adequate, and systems and equipment were properly and clearly labeled.
The inspector, however, also determined that the licensee had initiated an extensive review of the staffing needs and organizational structure of the maintenance department.
This review was initiated in response to an internal assessment of audit findings in maintenance area by various auditing groups (including NRC).
The inspector determined that the reorganization proposal for maintenance department and adjustment in procedures was at an advanced stage.
The proposal, however, was not yet approved by the corporate management of the licensee.
If approved and implemented, the proposed changes in the maintenance department policies as to increased staffing, upgrading the technical/operational expertise in maintenance personnel, and periodic assessment of trends in this area would be positive steps which could considerably enhance the effectiveness of maintenance organization at the plant.
The inspector had no further questions in this regard at this time.
No violations or deviations were identifie '
4.
Off-site Power Transformer Maintenance The inspector reviewed the licensee's maintenance practices for trans-formers providing off-site power to the plant, and determined that it was covered by electrical preventive maintenance program procedure A-1005.
The maintenance program included the following:
~
Frequency:
months specified in electrical preventive main-tenance program Administrative Procedure A-1005.
~
Inspection and maintenance of 34.5kV oil circuit breakers 751 and 767:
Performed by Electric Substation Dept.
and documented on RG5E Inspection Report Form 60-25 for outdoor oil circuit breakers.
~
Inspection and maintenance of 4160V supply breakers for buses 12A and 12B:
Performed under the direction of plant electrical foreman and documented on RG&E Inspection Report Form 60-23 for air circuit breakers.
~
12A and 12B buses inspection and cleaning:
Performed under the direction of the plant electrical foreman; includes checking all connections in each cubicle; and vacuum clean each cubicle.
~
Protective relay calibration:
Performed annually per procedure PR-7, for No.
12A transformer 34kV and 4160V bus relaying.
~
Protective relay trip test:
Performed on a
24 month frequency per procedure PR-27 for No.
12A transformer 34kV and 4160V bus relaying.
Maintenance procedures M-49. 1, M-49.2 and M-50. 1 were used for the isolation and restoration of No.
transformer and associated buses.
The inspector had no further questions
.in this area.
5.
Exit interview At the conclusion of the inspection, the inspector met with licensee managmeent (identified in paragraph 1 with an "), at which time the insepctor summarized the purpose, scope, and findings of the inspection.
At no time during this inspection, did the inspector provide written material to the licensee.
The licensee did not indicate that any proprietary information was contained within the scope of this inspectio IS'
