Exit Interview The inspection scope and findings were summarized on April 18, 1980 with those persons indicated in Paragraph 1 abov.
Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Deviation Item (281/79-08-01), Failure to impl~ment the fire protection commitments of document entitled "Steam Generator Repair Program for Surry Units 1 and 2".
As previously reported in IE Report Nos. 50-280/79-61 and 50-281/79-80 corrective action was taken on the following two examples of this deviation:
(1) Temporary fire protection equipment for the Unit' __ 2 containment

are (2) Organization and training of construction site.fi£'e brigad *
--* During this inspection a tour was made of the Unit 2 containment and the installation of the standpipe system was found complet There-fore, the deviation is close (Closed) Inspector Followup Item (281/79-08-03), Sprinkler system installation discrepancies-Construction warehouse numbers 7 and The previously identified sprinkler system discrepancies have been corrected; therefore, this item is close (Closed) Inspector Followup Item (280/79-29-03 and 281/79-46-04),
Supervision of fire protection control valve All valves in the fire protection system are either electrically supervised or are locked in their normal position and a visual inspection of the position of the valves is made weekl This item is close (Closed) Noncompliance (Infraction) Item (280/79-61-01 and 281/79-80-01),
Inoperative fire door between Unit Nos. 1 and 2 emergency switchgear room The transformer blocking the fire doors has been removed; a memorandum has been sent to all plant superintendents and contractors to not block fire doors; and, areas adjacent to fire doors are checked periodically to ensure that doors are not obstructe This item is close However, during the plant tour on April 17, 1980, the fire door separating the Unit 2 emergency switchgear room from the Unit 2 cable vaule of the service building was found blocked in the open position by an electrical cable which was located in the doorwa A limiting condition of operation (LCO) consisting of a continuous fire watch had not been established on at least one side of the door as required by Technical Specification Section 3.2 This item is identified as Noncompliance (Infraction) Item 281/80-09-01), Nonfunc-tional fire door between Unit 2 emergency switchgear room and Unit 2 service building cable vaul (Open) Deviation Item (280/79-61-02 and 281/79-80-02), Substandard fire door This deviation identified several fire doors located throughout the plant which were not provided with positive type latching devices as required by National Fire Protection Association Standard No. 80 (NFPA-80), fire doors and window The correct type latching devices had been provided on the previously identified door However, during this inspection a number of additional doors were found which were not provided with the correct type latching hardware or the latching devices were inoperativ The licensee has committed to conduct an inspection of all fire doors installed at the plant and to repair or replace the latching devices as required to bring the doors up to the standards of NFPA-8 Therefore, this ite~ ~emains open.

main supply system is rendered inoperative. Until this design change can be accomplished the system will be normally supplied by.the main bank of cylinder However, if the main bank of cylinders are removed
- for recharge or repair, the reserve cylinders will be relo.cated and connected to the main cylinder discharge assembly to permit operation by the remote activato This item is close (Closed) Unresolved Item (280/79-61-04 and 281/79-80-04), Missing periodic test data on fire protection system The missing test data for PT-24.4B fire protection systems (electrical) was reviewed by the station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee (NSOC).
The test data was listed on the electrical coordinators check sheet and the NSOC felt that these inspections were apparently accomplishe Therefore,
- no further action is necessar The missing test data for PT-24.4!
Fire Protection Systems (Warehouses) was not located and was apparently not reviewed by the NSOC since this inspection and test is not required by the Technical Specification. During this inspection a tour was made of the warehouses.and several inspection sign-off tags for various fire protection devices were reviewed. It appears that these items were inspected each month during 1979 and thus far in 1980 as required by PT-24.4 The licensee advised that appropriate action was to be
. taken to assure that future inspections of the fire protection systems and equipment would be properly documente Therefore, this item is close.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspectio.
Fire Protection/Prevention Modifications This. inspection evaluated the licensee's progress and corrective action on the fire protection modification and improvement commitments made to the NR The NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report (FPSER) for this facility dated September 19, 1979 (Amendment 54 to Operating License N DPR-32 and Amendment 53 to Operating License No. DPR-37) and the licensee's document entitled Fire Protection Systems Review (FPSR) for Surry Power Station dated July 1; 1977 were used.in this evaluatio These documents describe the fire protection modifications and target dates for implemen-tation of the modification The modifications and findings of this inspection are as follows:

The floor drains are not dike This item will be evaluated during a subsequent NRC inspectio (125) Refer to Paragraph Within the areas examined, no items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie.
Plant Tour A tour was made of the plant to review the completed fire protection modi-fications, to verify that the existing fire protection systems were in service and to review the licensee's compliance to the administrative procedures for the control of fire hazards within the plan The following discrepancies were noted: Cutting and Welding Operations At the two foot elevation of the auxiliary building welding operations were being accomplished without a "Welding and Flame Permit".
VEPCO procedure ADM-56 Special Processes Involving Ignition"Sources prohibits welding or cutting operations in all areas of plant except the welding shop unless a welding or Flame Permit is issue The ~elding foreman for the job in the auxiliary building advised that welding operations were also being conducted at other locations in the plant without an approved permi A review of the permits on file within the control

-16-room appeared to confirm this statement. It appears that this problem existed primarily due to the fact that the existing procedure does not clearly describe the requirements to be followed in the preparation, posting and record retention of the permit However, the procedure clearly states that a welding and flame permit is required and lists the safety provisions which must be followe The performance of welding operations without the issuance of an approved Welding and Flame Permit is a failure to fully implement the facility fire protec-tion program as required by Section 6.4.J of the Technical Specifications and is identified as Noncompliance (Infraction) Item (280/80-08-02),
Failure to implement fire protection program procedures for special processes involving ignition source The licensee was advised that the existing procedure for special processes involving ignition sources should be reviewed and revised as necessary to assure that these operations are safely conducte Fire Doors A number of fire doors were noted in which the latching device was the wrong type or inoperativ Also, one fire door was found blocked in the open position by electrical cable in the doorwa For additional comments on these items, refer to above Paragraphs 3.d and Compressed Gas Cylinders Compressed gas cylinders were noted improperly stored throughout the plan Cylinders were not secured in the upright position to prevent being knocked ove Cylinders were stored without protective valve covers in place, fuel cylinders were stored adjacent to combustible materials in safety-related areas, and contaminated cylinders were stored within radiation areas of the plan The licensee agreed to evaluate the plant's current administrative procedures covering the use a~d storage of compressed gas cylinders and to establish a program to assure that cylinders will be properly stored while in the plant and for cylinders to be promptly removed from safety-related areas upon completion of work in these area This item is identified as Inspector Followup Item (280/80-08-03 and 281/80-09-03), Improper Storage of Compressed Gas Cylinders and will be reevaluated during a subsequent NRC inspectio t*:
