--
were identified.
LSSS/LCO:
equipment status or operating parameters were
--
observed for conformance to the LSSS/LC0 requirenents.
Shift turnovers of control room operators and watch
--
supervisors were observed on regular and back shifts.
Acceptance criteria for the above items included inspector judgement and requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(k), Regulatory Guide 1.114, applicable and the following licensee procedures:
SA0105, " Work Permits"
--
SA0114, " Station Fire Protection Systems"
--
SA0 116 " Housekeeping Policy"
--
SA0 126, " Jumper Log"
--
SA0128, " Security Plan Implenentation"
--
No items of noncompliance were identified during the plant tours.
Minor discrepancies in the area of Containment Spray System piping closure flanges were identified to the licensee for corrective action.
c.
Fire Hazards Observations on a sampling basis were made of fire extinguishers, hoses and nozzles, and emergency equipment during the various tours.
.
No items of noncompliance were identifie.
Observations of Physical Security The resident inspector made observations, witnessed and/or verified, during regular and off-shift hours, that the selected aspects of the security plan were in accordance with regulatory requirements, physical security plans and approved procedures.
a.
Physical Protection Security Organization Observations and personnel interviews indicated that a
--
full time member of the security organization with authority to direct physical security actions was present, as required.
--
Manning of all three shifts on various days was observed to be as required.
--
All physical security members observed appeared capable of performing their assigned tasks.
b.
Physical Barriers Selected barriers in the protected area (PA) and vital areas (VA) were observed and random monitoring of isolation zones was performed.
c.
Access Control Observations of the following items were made:
Identification, authorization and badging
--
Access control searches
--
Escorting
--
--

Licensee Reported Items a.
In-Office Review of Licensee Event Reports A review was conducted of the Licensee Event Reports (LER's)
received in the Region I office to verify that the details of the events were cler.rly reported, including the accuracy of the description of the cause and the adequacy of the corrective action.
The LER's were also reviewed to determine whether further information was required from the licensee and whether generic implications were involved.
The following licensee event reports were reviewed.
Report Number Subject LER-78-031/03L-0 Static Inverter Failure.
LER-78-032/03L-0 Leakage at Seal Injection Line Drain Valve C-15.
LER-78-033/0lT-0 Blockage in BIT Tank Discharge Line.
b.
Onsite Licensee Event Followup All the LER's listed in Paragraph 4 above were selected for onsite followup. The inspector verified that the reporting requirements of Technical Specifications, Station Administra-tive Orders No. 124 and No. 125 had been met, that appropriate corrective action had been taken, that the event was reviewed by the Technical Engineering Director and that continued operation of the facility was conducted in conformance with the Technical Specification limits.
The inspector's findings regarding the licensee events were acceptable, unless otherwise noted below:
LER 78-033/0lT-0: The licensee has instituted corrective action to preclude the recurrence of the type of blockage caused by the failure of a defective jumber wire by placing additional surveillance requirements in the boric acid electrical heat tracing test, PT-Q7.
The inspector verified the inclusion of additional testin.-
Additional review by the inspector in the areas of logging, identification and operator action on an alarmed boric acid low temperature annunciator was reviewed and the following discrepancies were identified:
(1) An annunciator alarm indicating an anomaly boric acid heat tracing system remains lighted on the Control Room Board once one or more circuits approach TS limits, thus, blocking additional oncoming alarms.
(2) The nuclear plant operator's log sheets fails to identify individual alarms.
(3) During observations in the primary auxiliary building, a low temperature alarm was identified on a Safety In-jection suction line.
A faulted test switch was identi-fied by the licensee.
This type of failure is not identified during surveillance testing.
The resolution of the above items will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection. These are categorized as unresolved items (50-245/78-37).
5.
Review of Periodic Reports a.
Quarterly Report on Seismic Monitoring Network in the Vicinity; of Indian Point, New York, Consolidated Edison Project WCC/7 June / August 1978 The inspector's review of the report identified two errors relating to the time of an event at Annville, New York. The introduction to the report identifies the event as occurring in September 1978 although the report is for the period June thru August 1978.
The body of the report states that the Annvill event occurred on June 23, 1978 while the tabulation of events identifies the event date as July 23, 1978.
These items have been identified to the licensee and corrective action has been taken and will be documented in subsequent seismic repor *
..
b.
Monthly Operating Reports The Monthly Operating Reports for June, July, August, September, October, and November have been reviewed.
The criteria for the review included:
--
Examination of selected Maintenance Work Requests.
--
Examination of significant occurrence reports to ascer-tain that the summary of operating experience was pro-perly documented.
c.
Findings The inspector verified through record reviews and observations of maintenance in progress that:
--
Corrective action was adequate for resolution of the identified items.
Information in the reports were identified as licensee
--
event reports where required per TS 6.9.1.7.
Operating Reports included the requirements of TS 6.9.T.~6.
--
The inspector had no further questions on the reports reviewed.
6.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items are matters about which more information is re.
quired in order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, items of noncompliance or deviations.
Unresolved items disclosed during this inspection are discussed in Paragraph 4.b.
7.
