Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during,this inspectio.

Review of Safety Limits, Limiting Safety System Settings and Limiting Conditions for Operation Reactor operations were reviewed to ascertain whether Technical Speci-fication requirements for safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting conditions for operation were being adhered to. Confirma-tion of compliance with Technical Specifications involved the following considerations:

Direct observations of process instrumentation monitoring current operation *

-2-Direct observation of consoles, panels and annuniciator boards for equipment "out of service".

Review of monitoring instrumentation charts for historical review of events or operations (i.e., power changes, transients, abnormal occurrences).

Review of surveillance requirement records and maintenance report Discussions with operators on shif Approximately fifteen (15) parameters which have Technical Specifi-cation limiting values were selected at random and checked for confor-mance to required values. Approximately twenty-five (25) surveillance requirements were selected at random and checked for conformance to required value Systems included the reactor coolant system, control rod system, turbine system, containment system, safety injection system, spray systems and emergency power syste Within the areas inspected, no items of noncompliance or deviation were identifie.

Licensee Event No. 50-281/78-38, "Flow Blockage in Boric Acid Lines" The licensee reported this occurrence in a letter dated November 17, 197 The event involved the blockage of flow by crystallized boron in a boric acid line. The inspector reviewed the maintenance report, the deviation report and the licensee event repor The inspector noted that the "cause subcode" on the LER was listed as "X" and the

Status of Open Items Jumper Controls (78-24-01)

This item involved the performance of safety evaluations after the installation of safety-related jumper The inspector reviewed both active and inactive jumper logs on both units. It was noted by the inspector that some safety evaluations were being performed on jumpers after the jumper was installed. In all cases observed by the inspector, these safety evaluations were being done on jumpers that were installed per a procedure (i.e., EMP, MMP, etc.), or on jumpers that did not actually need a safety evaluation but had one done anywa This item is considered closed.
