updated by December 31, 198 CWD's will be updated by March 31, 198. Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspectio.
Licensee Event Followup On May 30, 1981, a contractor employee made an unauthorized entry into the
'B' steam generator for probing of steam generator tube The individual did not request health physics personnel coverage, as required, prior to entry and was not discovered for approximately 15 minute When health physics personnel discovered the contractor employee in the steam generator, he was told to leave but remained for several more minutes. This resulted in an exposure to his head which exceeds regulatory limits. The details of this occurrence are documented in inspection report 50-261/81-1.
Plant Tour The inspector conducted plant tours periodically during the inspection interval to verify that monitoring equipment was recording as required, equipment was properly tagged, operations personnel were aware of plant conditions, and plant housekeeping efforts were adequat The inspector determined that appropriate radiation controls were properly established, excess equipment or material was stored properly, and combustible material was disposed of expeditiously. During tours the inspector looked for the existence of unusual fluid leakds, piping vibrations, pipe hanger and seismic restraint abnormal settings, various valve and breaker positions, equipment clearance tags and component status, adequacy of firefighting equipment, and instrument calibration dates. Some tours were conducted on backshift The inspector noted no violations or deviation. Technical Specification Compliance During this reporting interval, the inspector verified compliance with selected limiting conditions for operation (LCO's) and reviewed results of selected surveillance test These verifications were accomplished by direct observation of monitoring instrumentation, valve positions, switch positions, and review of completed logs and record The licensee's compliance with selected LCO action statements were reviewed as they happene.

TMI Action Plan Items TAP N II.F.2, NUREG 0578, 2.1.3.b Instrumentation to Detect Inadequate Core Coolin (1) This item required each PWR licensee to install a primary coolant saturation. meter (subcooling monitor).
An adequate subcooling monitor has been installed and an operating procedure (OP-54)
exists for the operator's us (2) This item also required that the licensee have a backup procedure for use of steam table This backup procedure exists as operating procedure OP-54 (3) The licensee has stated in his March 2, 1981, response letter to Inspection Report 50-261/81-02 that he will operate the core subcooling monitor in accordance with his proposed Technical Specification NUREG 0737, II.F.2, Item (1) is close TAP No. I.A.2.1. Modify RO/SRO Training (ITEM 4).
- This item required that the inspector verify that training programs have been revised in accordance with office of NRR letter dated March 28, 1980, and CP&L letter RSEP/80-1035 dated July 11, 1980, to the Operator Licensing Branch.

Modifictaion of License Concening Primary Coolant System Pressure Isolation Valves OThe inspector reviewed the NRR Order date April 20, 1981, and subsequent licensee action The above Order required backleakage testing of low pressure safety injection check valves 875 A, B, C and 876 A, B, C and of
high pressure injection valves 874 A and These valves had not been tested within the last twelve months, necessitating that the MOV in each line be closed by May 20, 1981. However, these upstream MOV's are normally closed valves, and no safety evaluation was required.
