'icensee Action on Previous Inspector Followup Items (Closed)
(50-250, 251/79-31-02)
Followup on licensee plans to shift rod/posit'ion power from Nonvital to Vital.
The inspector v'erified that the power supply to the rod position indication system was presently a vital power supply.
Followup on Post-TMI Requirements Implementation (NUREG-0737)
Item II.K.3.10 - Proposed Anticipatory Trip Modifications.
This item is not applicable to Turkey Point inasmuch as no modification of their existing anticipatory trip has been proposed.
Item II.K.3.12 - Anticipatory (Reactor) Trip on Turbine Trip.
This item is closed based on the inspector's" confirmation of an existing anticipatory reactor trip caused by a turbine trip signal (above 10$ power).
Note:
The resolution and closure of the above two items is consistent with the position expressed in the August 20, 1981, NRC to FPL correspondence (S.
A. Varga to R.
E. Uhrig memo).
Emergency Drill On September 10, 1981, the licensee conducted an emergency exercise consisting of turbo parts:
(1)
a radiological drill and (2) a medical drill.
The inspector observed the response by the licensee's organization during the drill to determine the following:
a.
If the organization responds in accordance with approved procedures and plans.
b.
If the response was coordinated, orderly and timely.
c.
If the licensee is using designated persons to evaluate the organi-zation's response.
'.
If a critique is held shortly after the drill.
e.
If the results of the drill and licensee self evaluation are documented and reviewed by licensee management and supervision.
f.
If appropriate corrective actions are being initiated to correct identified deficiencies.
At the conclusion of this inspection report period, a report on the overall drill exercise being prepared by the licensee's on-site emergency drill coordinator was unavailable in final form.
The inspector will review this report during a subsequent inspection (250, 251/81-20-03).
llithin the areas inspected no violations or deviations were identified.

Surveillance Test Observation The inspector witnessed the performance of the monthly periodic test of the High Head Safety Injection (HHSI) System.
This test was performed in accordance with operating procedure O.P.
4104.1, High Head Safety Injection System - Periodic Test, dated June 4, 1981.
The test was performed on September 9,
1981, for pumps 3A, 4A and 4C and on September 17, 1981, for pump 3B (the 3B pump was unable to be tested at the earlier test date due to maintenance work being conducted on the 3B 4160 volt bus).
The inspector verified the followup aspects of this surveillance test:
procedure conformed to technical specification requirements and proper licensee review; test instrumentation was calibrated; removal of the system from service; conduct of the surveillance test; restoration of the system to service; review of the test data for accuracy and completeness; independent calculation of selected test results data to verify its accuracy; confirmation that surveillance test documentation was reviewed and test discrepancies were rectified; test results satisfied technical specification requirements; testing was done by qualified personnel; and surveillance schedule for this test was met.
During the running of the 4B HHSI pump, leaks around the pump casing were noted.
The technical department cognizant engineer on this periodic test documented the observance of the leaks on the "Leak Reduction Program Results Data Sheet" from O.P.
0206.4,
"Periodic Visual Leak Inspection of Systems Outside the Containment for Control of Radioactive thterial Leakage".
At the conclusion of this inspection report period, definitive corrective action on this 4B HHSI Pump leakage had not been identified pending final evaluation of the test results by the licensee.
Timely licensee definition'and implementation of corrective action will be tracked as inspector followup item (251/81-20-04).
The inspector observed portions of the performance of operating procedure O.P.
0207.3,
"Inservice Pump Testing Program Implementation Procedure for Auxiliary Feedwater-Pump" in conjunction with the performance of O.P.
7304. 1, "Auxiliary Feedwater System - Periodic Test".
The inspector ascertained that the following objectives were being met:
testing was scheduled in accordance with technical specification requirements, procedures were being followed, testing was performed by qualified personnel, LCOs were being met, and system restoration was correctly accomplished following testing.
During the testing, it was noted that the drainage system inside the Auxiliary Feedwater Pump (AFW) curbed area which is supported to handle the discharge from the Service llater Coolant System to the AFl/ Pump Turbine lube oil cooler was inadequate to remove the water, from the curbed area.
This item was previously identified in NRC Inspection Report 250, 251/81-11, paragraph 5.b.43 (250, 251/81-11-09).
The inspector was able to ascertain that the licensee
<<as.initiated a Reactor Engineering Assistance request, TPN-262, dated June 15, 1981, which would provide a recommendation for the resolution of this drainage inadequacy.
The licensee has set November 27, 1981, as the expected completion date for this REA request.
This item will

remain open for future inspection of the corrective action.
No violations or deviations were identified within the areas inspected.
Plant Operations The inspector kept informed on a daily basis of the overall plant status and any significant safety matters related to plant operations.
Discussions were held with plant management and various members of the operations staff on a regular basis.
Selected portions of daily operating logs and operating data sheets were reviewed daily during the report period.
The inspector conducted various plant tours and made frequent visits to the control room.
Observations included witnessing work activities in progress, status of operating and standby safety systems, confirming valve positions, instrument readings, and recording, annunciator alarms, housekeeping, radiation area controls, and vital area controls.
Informal discussions were held with operators, and other personnel on work activities in progress and status of safety-related equipment or systems.
On September 14, 1981, the inspector observed maintenance activities on breaker 3AB02, Unit Auxiliary Supply Transformer No. 3.
The inspector verified that the Plant Work Order was properly prepared and that an authorized maintenance procedure was being used.
The work observed was being performed in accordance with maintenance procedure tl.P. 9407.3, 4160 Volt Switchgear Cubille Component Inspection, dated December 18, 1980.
In conjunction with the above activities, the inspector observed work in progress associated with the installation of grounding devices
'on 4160 Volt switchgear.
This work was being performed in accordance with maintenance procedure H.P. 0707.31, "Installation of 4KV Switchgear ground Attachment" dated July 30, 1981.
No violations or deviations were identified within the areas inspected.
Plant Tours At about 1000 August 21,.-1981, the inspector was touring the control room when he noted that all three Unit 4 steam generators were being blown down; however, only two of the three generator blowdown sample isolation valves were open.
The third isolation valve FCV 4-1427 was shut thereby precluding monitoring of the "A" steam generator blow down effluent.
This circumstance was a violation of Technical Specification 3.9.1, "Liquid Wastes" section i which requires that continuous monitoring be performed while a steam generator is being blown down.
When questioned about the shut valve the operator reviewed Technical Specification 3.9.1 and reopened FCV 4-1427.
The valve had been shut about 3 minutes.
No release of radioactive material occurred.
During this period the air ejector radiation monitors were operable and confirmed the absence of primary to secondary leakage.
{251/81-20-02).
II t
During a tour of the control room on September 9, 1981, the inspector reviewed the Equipment out of Service Log which is required to be maintained by administrative procedure A.P. 0103.2,
"Duties and Responsibilities of Operators on Shift and Maintenance of Operating Logs and Records".
The inspector noted that Boric Acid Pumps 4A and 3B had been taken out of service at 0915 hours0.0106 days <br />0.254 hours <br />0.00151 weeks <br />3.481575e-4 months <br /> on 9-9-81 in order to repack valves 377, 378 and 379 on the CVCS.
The Equipment Out of Service Log further indicated that there was no technical specification time limit associated with Boric Acid Pumps 4A and 3B being out of service.
After examining Equipment Clearance Order number 9-17 issued for Unit 3 on 9-9-81 and reviewing the diagrams for the Chemical and Volume Control System, the inspector pointed out to the Nuclear Plant Supervisor (NPS) that the valve alignment called for in the clearance order for the replacing of valves 377, 378 and 379 resulted in the availability of only one (4B) Boric Acid Pump.
The operator did not recognize that valve alignment called for in the clearance order precluded availability of the 3A pump.
This placed the plant into a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> action statement covered under paragraph 3.6.d.2 of the technical specification.
Unawareness of this condition could have resulted in exceeding a technical specification limiting condition of operation.
After this was pointed out to the NPS, the erroneous
"not applicable" entry under the
"Tech Spec Time Limit" column of the Equipment Out of Service Log was corrected to reflect the applicable 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> limitation.
This error constitutes a failure to follow procedure A.P. 0103.2 and is this contrary to paragraph 6.8. 1 of the Technical Specifications.
(250, 251/81-20-01).
