Review Plant Operations a.
Shift Logs and Operating Records The inspector reviewed the following logs and operating records for the final quarter 1979 to verify that plant operation was in conformance with plant procedures, technical specifications, reporting requirements, and limiting conditions for operations:
Control Room Operators Log, October 1, 1979 to December 31,
.
1979 Shift Supervisor Log, October 1, 1979 to December 31, 1979
.
Shift Turnover Logs, October 1, 1979 to December 31, 1979
.
Jumper Log, October 1, 1979 to December 31, 1979
.
Night Order Book, October 1, 1979 to December 31, 1979
.
Surveillance Log, October 1, 1979 to December 31, 1979
.
Auxiliary Building Log, October 1,1979 to December 31, 1979
.
b.
At various times during the inspection, the inspector observed plant operations in the control room including shift change.
Control room manning and equipment status were found to be in accordance with Technical Specifications.
The inspector toured various areas of the plant and made the following observations:

General cleanliness was satisfactory.

No excessive fluid leaks or piping vibrations were noted.
.
No fire hazzards were noted.

Control room operators were knowledgeable in annunciator

status.
Seismic restraints and pipe supports appear to be in
.
satifactory condition.
Selected valves were observed to be in the required position.
.
In addition, the inspector observed various activities involved in the licensee's commitments to the fire protection / prevention plan and NUREG-0578. There were also various refueling outage activities underway.
The inspector noted that where required by the activities underway, fire watches were posted and vital equipment protected against construction activities.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
3.
Pre-refueling Activities The inspector reviewed the refueling outage schedule and identified milestone points and activities pertaining to meeting the requirements of the license's Fire Prevention / Protection Plant and NUREG-0579. The inspector previously identified those items that the licensee has committed to have complete prior to start up at the end of this outage and verified that they are scheduled for completion prior to start up.
The one remaining pre-refueling item to be reviewed is the fuel shuffle procedure.
The procedure is before the Plant Review
.
Committee for approval. After approval, but prior to the l
start of fuel movement, the inspector will review the procedure.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

Follow-up on Inspector and Licensee Identified Items During-the review of the operating logs the inspector noted l
a.
l an entry concerning the spill of contaminated water and con-tamination of two workers on January 13, 1980.
The spill l

.
...
occurred while the two workers were transferring the waste liquid to drums for disposal.
The hose being used for the transfer became dislodged from the drum and approximately 5 gallons of material was spilled.
A small amount of the liquid (actually sludge) splashed on the anti-C clothing of the two workers.
They were immediately decontaminated and a whole body count performed.
The inspector reviewed the whole body count results and compared them to the results of the whole body counts performed a few weeks earlier. There was no appreciable difference between the results.
The inspector also reviewed che isotopic analysis of the waste material.
The inspector then reviewed the licensee's health physics procedures concerning spills and personnel contamination, 10 CFR 20 reporting requirements, and discussed the incident with health physics personnel.
The inspector verified that the incident did not meet the reporting regiurement of 10 CFR 20, the licensee's health physics procedures or the Technical Specification reporting requirements.
b.
On January 17, 1980 the inspector was informed by the licensee that during surveillance test ST-SI/CS-1 containment sump valve HCV-383-4 failed to close.
This failure to close disabled one train of the Safety Injection System. The inspector was notified at 0845 that the 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> provisions of Technical Specification TS 2.3(2) were in effect. The problem was diagnosed as dirty contacts. They were cleaned and the surveillance test re-run.
The test was satisfactory.
The licensee is submitting a 14 day LER to the RIV office.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
5.
Exit Interview The inspector reviewed the scope of the inspection and discussed the findings with the Acting Station Manager on January 17, 1980.
