the lube oil strainer, the prelube pump strainer, and the lube oil circulating pump strainer. The inspectors also

examined the fuel injection racks and engine control linkage and observed

!

the sampling and refilling of the generator bearing oil.

Subsequent to j

the completion of CM-507 and PM-007, the inspectors verified the return to

service of the "B" Emergency Diesel.

!

j Additionally, the inspectors reviewed several outstanding job orders to

determine that the licensee was giving priority to safety-related

!

maintenance and that a backlog which might affect its performance was not j

developing on a given system.

.

i No violations or deviations were identified within the areas inspected.

10. Operational Safety Verification (71707)

l The inspectors observed licensee activities to ascertain that the facility was being operated safely and in conformance with regulatory requirements,

,

and that the licensee management control system was effectively

!

discharging its responsibilities for continued safe operation by direct i

observation of activities, tours of the facility, interviews and discussions with licensee management and personnel, independent

verification of safety system status and limiting conditions for

!

operation, and reviewing facility records.

'

In preparation for the refueling outage scheduled to commence on March 28,

.

1987, the inspectors witnessed the delivery of new fuel on February 10,

}

1987. The inspectors examined the shipping documentation and determined that the records agreed with the shipping canister numbered seals.

The

j inspectors also observed the disassembly of selected shipping containers, i

the receipt inspection of fuel assemblies, and the transfer of fuel j

assemblies to the new fuel storage racks in the auxiliary building.

t i

These operations were skillfully executed by the technicians involved and j

the work controls appeared adequate. The inspectors noted that, although l

not required by TS, the actual movement of fuel assemblies from the j

shipping containers to the new fuel racks was accomplished by a licensed j

senior reactor operator.

Fuel Management Procedure FMP-014 (Revision 2) " Insertion Limits for C and D Rod Banks" in part requires that at 50% of the fuel cycle as. defined by burnup, the alarms associated with the rod insertion limit curves shall be adjusted from the beginning of cycle (BOC) curve to the end of cycle (EOC)

curve. As identified by the licensee, the required adjustment of the C and D rod bank monitors which should have been accomplished during the week of September 22, 1986, were not made until January 23, 1987.

The licensee's immediate corrective action was to perform the rod insertion limit alarm adjustments for "C and D" rod banks. An analysis was performed by the licensee to determine if the control rods had been inserted below the EOC insertion limits during the affected operating period.

The results of this analysis indicate that at no time were the limits exceeded.

The inspectors determined that this failure to adjust the rod insertion alarm limits would not have precluded an alarm actuation prior to the violation of a rod insertion limit during the interval between the middle of the cycle and the readjustment of the limits.

To preclude recurrence of this situation, the licensee was in the process of modifying Engineering Surveillance test procedure EST-005 " Review of Critical Baron Concentration Monthly Interval" to include specific directions on exactly when to implement FMP-014 to adjust the rod insertion limit alarm setpoints.

The licensee's modification of EST-005 is identified as an inspector followm: item.

Inspector Followup Item 50-261/87-04-01; " Modification of EST-005" 11.

ESF System Walkdown and Monthly Surveillance Observation (71710, 61726, 56700)

The inspectors verified the operability of an engineered safety features system by performing a walkdown of the accessible portions of the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system as was prescribed in Operations Surveillance

,

Test procedure OST-251 (Revision 10) titled "RHR Component Test (Monthly)".

The purpose of this surveillance test was to verify the mechanical performance and assess the operational readiness of components in the RHR system to fulfill their required safety functions.

The inspectors confirmed that the licensee's system lineup procedures matched plant drawings and the as-built configuration. The inspectors looked for equipment conditions and items that might degrade performance (hangers and supports were operable, housekeeping, etc.) and inspected the interiors of electrical and instrumentation cabinets for debris, loose material, jumpers, evidence of rodents, etc.

The inspectors verified that valves were locked as required. The inspectors compared both local and remote position indications.

The inspectors determined that OST-251 conformed to TS requirements, that all precautions and LCOs were met and that OST-251 was completed at the required frequency.

The inspectors also verified that the required

administrative approvals and tagouts were obtained prior to initiating the test, that the testing was accomplished by qualified personnel in accordance with an approved test procedure and that the required test instrumentation was properly calibrated.

In particular, the inspectors witnessed the verification of proper oil levels in each of the RHR pumps tested, the starting and running of both the

"A" and the

"B" RHR pumps, the recording of pump discharge and differential pressures, and the recording of pump vibration amplitudes.

Upon completion of the testing, the inspectors observed that the recorded test data was accurate, complete and met TS requirements; and, independently verified that the systems were properly returned to service.

No violations or deviations were identified within the areas inspected.

12. Cold Weather Preparations (71714)

The inspectors conducted a review of licensee cold weather preparations to ascertain that the licensee maintained effective implementation of the program of protective measures for extreme cold weather. During the inspection, the inspectors verified that the licensee had inspected systems susceptible to freezing to verify the presence of heat tracing, strip heaters and insulation; the proper setting of thermostats; and that j

the heat tracing and strip heating circuits were energized.

On February 19, 1987, the inspectors witnessed the operability verification, performed by instrumentation and control technicians, of various freeze protection panels throughout the plant. The inspectors observed channel current testing in the subject panels and, for those freeze protection channels which indicated a faulted condition, the inspectors determined that corrective maintenance work requests were initiated.

Subsequent to the completion of the cold weather preventative maintenance testing, the inspectors independently witnessed the return to service of the affected equipment.

No violations or deviations were identified within the areas inspected.

13. Organization and Administration (36700)

The inspectors reviewed the on-site licensee organization to ascertain whether changes made to the licensee's onsite organization are in conformance with the requirements of the TS by verifying that (1) the established organization is as described in the TS and is functioning effectively, (2) personnel qualification levels are in conformance with applicable codes and standards, and (3) the lines of authority and responsibility are in conformance with TS and applicable codes and standards.

Comprehensive discussions of current safety-related activities were conducted with plant management and technical personnel during this reporting period including, and in particular, Operations, Environmental

Topics discussed included licensee activities associated with plant operations activities, plant modifications, the fire protection system, ongoing construction activities, and communications interfaces.

On February 11, 1987, the inspectors attended the regularly scheduled refueling pre-outage meeting conducted by the licensee.

The inspectors observed that significant management involvement in pre planning efforts was being devoted to the upcoming refueling outage in that concerns relative to:

outage contracts and material status, work schedule implementation, resource planning, manpower loading, modification and exception closecut status, reduction of pre-outage work backlog, radiological work permits, control of projected dose rates, and action item review and assignment were discussed in detail.

Throughout the meeting, the inspectors noted that the outage management organization emphasized the accountability and responsibility of task assignments to responsible individuals and organizations.

No violations or deviations were identified within the areas inspected.

14. Onsite Review Committee (40700)

The inspectors reviewed certain activities of the plant nuclear safety committee (PNSC) to ascertain whether the onsite review functions were conducted in accordance with TS and other regulatory requirements. The inspectors (1) attended the regular monthly PNSC meeting held on February 19, 1987 and observed the conduct of the meeting, (2) ascertained that provisions of the TS dealing with membership, review process, frequency, qualifications, etc., were satisfied, and (3) reviewed meeting minutes to confirm that decisions and recommendations were accurately reflected in the minutes, and (4) followed up on previously identified PNSC activities to independently confirm that corrective actions were progressing satisfactorily.

The inspection emphasized review of the following items:

plant modifications, nonconformance reports, proposed changes to the Operating License / Technical Specifications, ALARA subcommittee meeting minutes, and the Trip Reduction Assessment Program subcommittee (TRAP). The inspectors examined the data base which was previously developed for trip review and categorization and determined that it is currently being utilized for the development of a trip preventative measures program.

This effort has resulted in the detailed analysis of approximately 200 events characterized as near-misses.

The near-miss trending summary has highlighted the precursors for reactor trips for controllable conditions in both the heater drain and vent system and the operational concerns for clogger/ blocked sensing line...
