The inspector reviewed two LER's for consistency with the requirements of Technical Specifications, Section 6.9. The inspector examined the licensee's analysis of the event, the corrective action taken, and discussed the LER's with licensee representative The following LER's were reviewed: LER 78-21, Loss of MCC-5 The inspector discussed corrective action with a licensee representative and determined that corrective actions had been taken to prevent failure of the transfer device that caused this occurrenc This LER is close LER 78-26, Both Containment Spray Pumps Inoperable The inspector discussed the apparent cause and corrective action with licensee representatives and confirmed the designation of the cause of this occurrenc Since plant procedures had not been revised to prevent recurrence as stated in LER, this LER will remain open pending licensee procedure revisions and subsequent review during a future inspectio The inspector noted that since the cause of this event is related to operation in a
depressurized/refueling type mode, procedural changes should be implemented prior to operation in the cause related conditio.
Review of IE Circulars (IEC's)
The inspector reviewed applicable IEC's with licensee personnel to ascertain that IEC's had been received onsite'and reviewed by cognizant personne Licensee's actions on the following IEC's were reviewed: IEC 78-15, Tilting Disc Check Valves Fail to Close with Gravity in Vertical Position. The inspector determined that the licensee had identified each safety-related check valve installed in a vertical positio Further, the licensee determined that no leakage problems had been identified associated with failure of these valves to properly close; and that such failure, should it occur, would be detected by routine surveillance testin The inspector had no further questions on IE Circular 78-1 IEC 78-16, Limitorque Valve Actuator Failur The inspector determined that the licensee had identified each safety-related limitorque valve actuato Further, the licensee determined that
RII Rpt. No. 50-261/78-26 1-3 manual operation of the identified valves is not performed routinely and that no problems addressed in the IEC had been identifie The inspector had no further questions on IE Circular 78-1.
Review of Logs and Operating Records The inspector reviewed the following operating logs and records for the period August - September 30, 1978, to ascertain whether operation was in conformance with Technical Specifications and established requirement a)
Shift Foremans Log b)
Control Operators Log c)
Minimum Equipment List d)
Equipment Inoperable Record e)
Auxiliary Operators Log f)
Hot Operations Log g)
Auxiliary Operators Weekly Checks h)
Jumper and Lifted Wire Log i)
Standing Orders and Operating Notes No problems were identifie However, the inspector noted minor discrepancies and inconsistencies in some of the above documents which were identified to licensee representatives and discussed at the exit intervie The licensee acknowledged the inspectors comment.
Management Staff Plant Tours The inspector reviewed the policy and records pertaining to plant operations assessment by management personnel on weekends and back shifts.
