Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Deficiency (78-01-01): Provide acceptable method of retaining and storing QA records. Corrective actions stated in CP&L letter dated March 9, 1978, were verified to have been completed. (paragraph 5). Unresolved Items No new unresolved items were identified during this inspectio.

Exit Interview A meeting was held on September 15, 1978, with Mr. R.E. Morgan, Acting Plant Manager, and staff members denoted in paragraph 1. The scope and findings of the inspection were discussed, including two new open items discussed in paragraphs 6 and RII Report No. 50-261/78-22 1-2 Review of Licensee Actions on Record Storage Noncompliance This item was identified as a defeciency in IE inspection report 50-261/78-01 and concerned the temporary storage of certain QA records not in accordance with ANSI N45.2.9-1974. Licensee response GD-78-462 on February 20, 1978 described the corrective action to be taken and that full compliance with this item would be achieved by August 1, 197 The inspector reviewed the revised administrative instructions, Section 8.1 (Plant Records) which incorporates corrective actions stated in licensees response. The inspector also review the actual record storage vault files and discussed the revised storage program with personnel assigned to record storage activitie The implementation of the revised record storage program as described in Administrative Instructions, Section 8.1 appears to meet regulatory requirements of ANSI-N45.2.9-1974 associated with the noncompliance. This item is close.

Review of Safety InJection Actuation System and Associated Emergency Procedures The inspector reviewed applicable emergency procedures (EP's) to insure that adaquate instructions were provided to assure operation of the emergency diesel generators and related engineered safety features after a loss of offsite power following a LOCA, and subsequent to SIS reset. A review of the SIS actuation and reset design for the facility indicated that the following conditions existed subsequent to the SIS reset: A loss of power to the emergency buses would result in automatic sequencing (energizing) of the Black Out loads instead of the SIS load All automatic safety injection actuation signals are blocked until all conditions that cause automatic safety injection are cleare The inspector reviewed EP-1 (Incidents Involving Reactor Coolant System Depressurization) to determine if the procedure adaquately addressed conditions a. and b. stated abov The inspector determined that EP-1 did not contain specific operator actions necessary to manually restart the required engineered safety features if a loss of offsite power or an accident occurs after the SIS has been reset and before the SIS automatic actuation has been rearme The inspector discussed the NRC's concerns and the apparent inadaquacies of EP-1 in the areas of concern with cognizant licensee personne The licensee stated that a thorough review of EP-1 and their SIS

RH Report No. 50-261/78-22 1-3 design would be conducted, and appropriate revision to EP-1 would be made to address the stated concerns. The inspector stated that this item would remain open pending licensee's review and procedure revision, and would be inspected during a future inspection (78-22-01). Procedural Instruction for Recovery from Spurious Safety Injection During the review of emergency procedures discussed in item 6, the inspector noted that the licensees operating manual did not provide specific instructions detailing the recovery of the plant from a spurious safety injection. The inspector discuss this apparent lack of specific procedural instruction with cognizant licensee personne The licensee stated that existing procedures in the operating manual had been considered sufficent in this area, however, a review of existing procedures would be conducted to reevaluate the possible need for additional instructions. The inspector stated that this item would remain open pending a review of existing procedural instructions for the recovery from a spurious safety injection during a subsequent inspection (78-22-02).

8. Review of Licensee Event Reports (LER's)

The inspector reviewed two LER's for consistancy with the requirements of Technical Specifications Section The inspector examined the licensee's analysis of the event, the corrective action taken, and discussed the LER's with licensee representatives. The following LER's were reviewe LER 78-17, Engine Driven Fire Pump Failed to Start The inspector discussed the corrective action with the licensee and determined that action had been taken to add an inspection of the engine distributor to routine maintenance program. This LER is close LER 78-18, Station Battery Fire This LER had been reviewed onsite during inspection 50-261/78-21 and remained open pending the licensee's receipt of the battery vendor written repor The inspector reviewed the written vendor report to confirm that the analysis by the vendor was consistant with the analysis stated in the LER. This item is close.

Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Operation During Emergency Item (78-16-03) concerned the fact that no temporary administrative guidance exited for placing the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump (TDAFP) in operation for potential or actual emergency condition RII Report No. 50-261/78-22 1-4 The inspector review determined the TDAFP was still declared inoperable; however, the shift foreman had been issued administrative instructions for placing the TDAFW in operation if an emergency conditions existe This item is close.

Review of IE Circular 78-13 An inoffice review of IE Circular 78-13 indicated that this circular was not applicable to the H. B. Robinson 2 facility due to the fact that plants located in South Carolina were exempted. Circular 78-13 is close.

Review of IE Circular 78-08 The inspector reviewed the licenee's actions on IE Circular 78-8 (Environmental Qualifications of Safety-Related Electrical Equipment)

to determine the following: That the licensee had assigned responsibility for reviewing the material referenced by the circula That the licensee had compared the H. B. Robinson 2 circumstances with problems identified in material referenced by the circular That the licensee had identified or planned corrective actions including the schedule of such action The inspector discussed this circular with licensee's personnel assigned responsibility for providing the Plant Manager with a recommendation for a course of action and schedule. The license's course of action and schedule had not been finalized as of this inspection. The licensee stated that a course of action and schedule should be developed within a couple of weeks and further stated that such action would be contingent upon CP&L Corporate approva The inspector stated that this circular will remain open pending a review of licensee's planned actions and schedule during a future inspectio.

Facility Tours The inspector toured portions of the facility including the auxiliary building, turbine area and control room to ascertain the general state

.

of cleanliness and housekeeping. Control room operations, including performance of incore surveillance testing were observed and discussed with control room personnel to assure compliance with Technical Speci fication No problems were identified.
