Licensee Action on Previous Insoection Findings (Closed) Item of Noncompliance (50-257/8015-01):

Failure to adhere to requirements of RWP #2365.

The corrective action specified in the licensee's response P-80320, dated July 16, 1980, has been reviewed by the inspector.

Goerational Safety Verification The inspector reviewed licensee activities to ascertain the facility is being operated safely and in conformance with regulatory requirements, and the licensee's management control system is effectively discharging its responsibilities for continued safe operation.

The review was conducted by direct observation of activities, tours of the facilities, interviews and discussions with licensee personnel, independent verifi-cation of safety system status and limiting concitions for operations, and review of facility records.

During a plant tour on October 27, 1980 at 10:46 a.m., seals were found missing from valves V-2212 and V-2213, Steam Water Dump Isolation Valves for Loop 1, although the valves were in the open position as required

!

by Overall Plant Operating Procedure I (OPOP I).

This procedure con-tains the sealed valve checklist in Section B.31 which requires certain valves to be sealed in position prior to plant startup.

This checklist had last been completed on September 24, 1980 and no reason for a change is known to have occurred.

The plant power level at the time the missing seals were discovered was approximately 4%.

The licensee replaced the seals upon notification.

Technical Specification AC 7.4.a requires in part that " Written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained.

" and OPOP I,

..,

section B, requires that certain valves be locked in position prior to plant startup.

Section B.21.b contains the sealed valve list for System 22 (Secondary Coolant System).

Contrary to these requirements the valves noted were found not sealed.

The failure to fulfill these requirements were discussed with the licensee at which time it was pointed out that this was an apparent item of noncompliance (8012-1).

The inspector had no additional questions in this area.
