2.
Exit Interview The inspection scope and findings were summarized on March 1, 1979 with those persons indicated in Paragraph
above.
The inspector discussed the licensee's position on commitment to the equality Assur-ance ANSI Standards and Regulatory Guides listed in the FPL TAHAR.
Licensee management indicated that they did not consider Turkey Point committed to the standards referenced in the TAHAR. The inspector stated that the licensee had been inspected to those standards in the past and would continue to be inspected against them, however, clarifi-I cation was definitely in order.
The inspector stated the licensee s
corrective action for noncompliance on housekeeping procedures was inadequate in that the procedure developed and approved failed to meet ANSI 45.2,3.
The licensee management indicated that they would await clarification on the status of their commitment to the standards, as discussed above, prior to making any changes in the subject procedur.
Licensee Action on Previous Ins ection Findin s (Open)
Infraction (250/78-27-01, 251/78-27-01):
Failure to develop formal controls on housekeepirfg.
This item will remain open pending final resolution of the licensee's commitment to ANSI 45.2.3, Housekeeping During the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants, as endorsed for the Operations Phase by Regulatory Guide 1.39.
The procedure developed by the licensee in response to this item of noncompliance AP 0103.11, Housekeeping, does not include the zoning of the facility into cleanliness control areas as required by Section 2.1 of the referenced standard.
{Open)
Infraction (250/78-27-02, 251/78-27-02):
Failure to conduct QC surveillance of housekeeping practices.
The licensee had not completed QC surveillance activities in conformance with the Quality Procedures, however, the licensee stated that these activities were ongoing and records could be available during subsequent inspections.
b.
Unresolved Items
{Closed)
(250/78-01-02, 251/78-01-02):
Maintenance Quality Assurance Records,
'PMO's not stored in record vault.
The licensee has commenced sending safety-related PRO's to document Control on a timely basis.
This item is resolved.
(Closed)
{250/78-02-03, 251/78-02-03):
Adequacy of Quality Assurance Records storage.
This item has been resolved by transfer of QA records to permanent storage or one hour fire rated cabinets.
5.
Followu on en Items The inspector reviewed the status of several previously identified items which were left open pending licensee action.
This review was facilitated by the issuance of the Corrective Action Status Report dated February 14, 1979.
The following items. were reviewed with the status as indicated:
a ~
Implementation of Continuous Recirculation on Boron Injection Tank.
This item relates to the licensee's continuing problem with implementation of continuous recirc on the BIT. The licensee has completed a preoperational test for PC/M 75-11 as of 2/16/79 on Unit 3 and 2/22/79 on Unit 4.
The mini-recirc pumps have been in continuous operation for several weeks.
This action closes item (250/251/77-01-02).
Rod Bank D Withdrawal Limit Annunicator.
This item was identified during a previous inspection where the annuniciator was illuminated and operators were not taking the corrective action specified in OP 0208.4, Annunciator List, Panel B-Reactor.
The licensee modified this procedure to indicate that no corrective action is required when rod control is in manual.
This closes item (78-02-05).
Environmental (}ualification of Safety-Related Electrical Components.
IE Bulletin 79-01 on this subject details the schedule requirements and requires a licensee response.
This closes item (250/251/78-18-02).
Cleanliness Controls inside Containment and Maintenance of Grade A and B Levels of Cleanliness in Safety-Related Fluid Systems.
The inspector reviewed several related work packages and procedures and interviewed maintenance supervisors to evaluate the mainte-nance of Grade A and B cleanliness levels on safety-related fluid systems.
(}C holdpoints for cleanliness appeared in many of the procedures reviewed, however, the inspector could not determine the level of inspection completed for these holdpoints nor evaluate the discrepancies noted by gC inspectors since no records of detailed cleanliness inspections were available.
The inspector toured the Unit
containment to evaluate the housekeeping status being maintained during the current refueling outage.
It was apparent that significant attention had been given by licensee management to the general cleanliness inside the containment.
Debris, lagging residue, scrap wire and metal fillings were scattered on the deck in several locations, however, these conditions are a
considerable improvement over previous inspections.
This item will be reviewed in conjunction with the corrective action for noncompliances 78-27<<01 and 78-27-02.
Maintenance of Grade A and B levels of cleanliness will remain an open item (250/251/78-18"03).
Routine Audit of Outstanding Clearances.
The licensee agreed to implement a routine audit of outstanding clearances which have been outstanding for more than one month by April 30, 1979.
Item (250/251/78-23-01)
remains open.
Validation of Core Loading Plan.
The inspector verified that the licensee is now. receiving the full size print of the Westinghouse Approved Core Loading Plan prior to conductinp the verification of the actual core loading.
In addition OP 16002.5, Refueling Core Shuffle,has been revised to include this verification as a require-ment.
This action closes (250/251/78-25-02).
Operational Test of Fire Alarm System.
The licensee has completed two tests of the fire alarm system since this item was identified.
The fire alarm horn actuating button has been modified to make it seal in for approximately
seconds.
This modification wi LL preclude having the operator keep it depressed.
The licensee has verified that all annunciators at the facility are operable and audible.
This action closes (250/251/ 78 25-03).
h.
Boric Acid Leakage on Safety-Related Cable Trays.
The inspector toured the 4 ft.
elevation of the Auxiliary Building Waste Hold Up Tank area to examine the status of the leakage of boric acid on cable trays 3FDT10 and 3FCT40.
The leakage has abated, however the licensee has not completed the repairs on the floor drain.
Bechtel has been given a contract to repair the drain and the concrete surrounding it.
In the interim, the licensee has effec-tively diverted the leakage away from the subject cable trays.
This item remains open (250/251/78-27-03).
6.
Followu on IE Bulletins and Circulars IE Circular 78-18 - UL Fire Test The inspector verified that the licensee had received this circular and understood the issues addressed.
As of the date of this inspection the licensee had planned no additional action on sprinkler systems installed at the facility. This item is closed.
7.
Re ortable Events Followu The following event was reviewed to ascertain that:
a
~
reporting requirements were met; b.
corrective action was taken as required by Appendix B to
CFR Part 50; C.
the event was reviewed and evaluated; and d.
the facility was operated within the requirements of 10CFR50.59 and the Technical Specification subsequent to the event.
50-250/78-18,
"Auxiliary Feed Pump A Shaft Seizure."
As discussed in the licensee's report, the cause of this pump failure appears to be a combination of leaking steam supply valves which operate the turbine and pump against a shutoff head.
This occurs during the testing of other Auxiliary Feed Pumps (AFP) in that the operating AFP will not shut the discharge check valve completely and allows operating AFP discharge pressure to block the recircu-
a
lation flow from the other AFP idling because of steam supply valve leakage.
The licensee is grooming the system and repairing the steam supply valves and discharge check valves.
Additionally, long term corrective action may incLude replacing the current turbine casings with high pressure casings which will eliminate the need for steam reducing valves in the system.
