Review of Plant Operations - A review of plant operations was conducted to ascertain whether facility operation was in conformance with the requirements estab-lished in Technical Specifications, 10 CFR, and administrative proce-dures, or licensee comnitments discussed in correspondence to the commission.

included in the inspection were observation of control room activities, review of operational logs and records, and a tour of accessible areas.

Logs and records reviewed included: Shift Supervisor Log (February 5-April 4,1979) Reactor Operators Log (February 5-April 4,1979) Turbine Building Logs (February 5-April 1,1979) Electric Plant Log (February 5-February 28, 1979) Surveillance Logs 1-3 (February 5-February 24, 1979) Operating Order Book Form 1 Log (je '" log) Plant Trouble Report During the tour of accessible areas, particular attention was directed to the following: Monitoring Instrumentation Radiation Controls Housekeeping Fluid Leaks Piping Vibrations Hanger / Seismic Restraints Clearance Tags Annonciators Control Room Manning During this tour, the inspector noted several items requiring remedial action: Water from check valve 46722 (PCRV cooling system) was observed to be leaking into a cable tray.

Inspection by plant electrical department personnel revealed minimal accumulation of water within the cable tray.

A plant trouble report was initiated April 4,1979, for repair of check valve 46722.

The oil reservoir level in seismic restraint MSS-149 was noted to be excessively low.

A licensee representative 286 357 .

Houseleeping in various areas of the reactor and auxiliary buildings was in need of attention.

A licenses representative has indicated that housekeeping deficiencies have been corrected.

Both emergency diesel generators had a greater than normal accumula-tion of oil beneath them.

Licensee representatives indicated that a cleaning schedule will be developed to preclude recurrence of this problem. This is an open item.

The inspector witnessed performance of the weekly functional test of the radioactive gaseous effluent vent monitor system (5.8.1d-W).

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

. . -8-Procedures examined in conjunction with the foregoing calibrations had been reviewed and approved as required by facility Technical Specifi-cations.

The calibrations and procedures contained no apparent incon-sistencies wit Technical Specification.

The inspector witnessed calibration of Buffer Helium Recirculator C 2106 S (LIS 21476). Trip settings of 12 and 21 inches of water were verified pursuant to Results Procedure 89A, using instruments M3149 (Wallace and Tierman Pressure Gage) and M3140 (Simpson Electronic VOM).

Both M3149 and M3140 were certified by Electric Standardizing Laboratory of Denver, Colorado, to be within manufacturers specifications, as indicated by test instruments traceable to the National Bureau of Standards.

Certification dates for these instru-ments are February 23, and February 28, 1979, respectively.

The inspector also witnessed partial calibration of Buffer Helium Recirculator C2105 (LIS 21475).

No items of noncompliance or deviation were identified.
