DETAILS 1.
Persons Contacted
- S. C. Stevens, Manager, Fort Calhoun Station W. G. Gates, Supervisor, Operations G. R. Peterson, Supervisor, Maintenance R. Mueller, Electrical Engineer L. T. Kusek, Supervisor, Technical B. Hickle, Chemistry and Radiation Protection Supervisor
- Denotes thcse attending exit interview.
The inspectors also talked with and interviewed other licensee employees during the inspecticn. These employees included licensed and unlicensed operators,.craf tsmen, engineers and office personnel.
2.
Operational Safety Verification The inspectors performed certain activities to ascertain that the facility is being operated safely and in conformance with regulatory requirements, and that the licensee's management control system is effectively dis-charging its responsibilities for continued safe operation. The inspec-tors activities and findings in this regard are described in the following paragraphs:
a.
Inspectinn Activities Performed Several Times Per Week (1) Control room observations were made which included the following items.
(a)
Licensee adhere 1ce to selected Limiting Conditions for Operations (LC0's).
(b) Observation of instrument and recorded traces for abnor-malities.
(c)
Verification of operator adherence to approved procedures.
(d) Verification of control room and shift manning.
(2) Review of selected logs and records to obtain information on plant operations, trends,, compliance with regulatory require-ments, and assess the effectiveness of communication provided by these logs and record.
.
(3) During the course of control room observations, the inspectors noted the alarm-status of the control room annunciators.
The alarm status was discussed with several licensed operato.1 to determine the cause for the alarm conditions.
The inspectors determined, as a result of these discussions, that for the plant status these alarms were normal and the operating staff is cognizant of the cause for the alarms.
b.
Inspection Activities Performed on a Weekly Basis (1) The operability of selected Emergency Safeguards Features (ESF)
systems were verified by noting valve positions, breaker positions, instrumentation, and the general condition of major systems com-ponents.
(2) The licensee's equipment control was reviewed for proper imple-mentation by performing the following inspection activities:
(a) Review of maintenance order log and tag-out log to deter-mine the licensee's compliance with LC0's and Technical Specifications action statements.
(b) Verification of " return to operable status of selected safety-related components and systems."
(3) The inspectors toured accessible areas of the plant at various times during the inspection to determine and/or verify equip-ment conditions, plant conditions, security, safety, and house-keeping. Observations included the following:
(a) General pla.:t and equipment condition.
(b) Fire hazards.
(c) Control of combustible material.
(d) Fire watch postings and presence of fire watches when required.
(e) Physical security.
The inspector verified that the security plan is being imple-mented by observing that:
The ecurity organization is properly manned and security
.
pei:.nnel are capable of performing their assigned tasks

The inspectors observed several shift turnovers and reviewed several shift turnover sheets.
No violations or deviations were identified.
3.
Maintenance Observations a.
The inspector observed portions of a maintenance activity M.0.11462 Repair of the Air Cperator for HCV-2918.
b.
The inspector determined through personal observation and review of records, where 3ppropriate that:
(1) These activities were not violating Limiting Conditions for Operations.
(2) Redundant components were operable.
(3) Required administrative approvals and tag-outs were obtained prior to initiating the work.
(4) Approved procedures were being'used, if appropriate.
(5) The procedures used were adequate to control the activity.
(6) Activities were being accomplished by qualified personnel.
(7) Replacement parts and materials being used were properly certified.

(8) Radiological controls were proper and are being properly implemented.
(9)
Ignition source controls were properly implemented.
(10) QC hold points, if any, were observed.
(11) Equipment was properly returned to service.
c.
The inspectors reviewed outstanding job orders to determine that the licensee is giving priority to safety-related maintenance and that a backlog is not developing on a given system which could affect its operability.
The inspec 'rs also determined that the proper approvals were obtained for job oroers which appear to constitute design changes.
No violations or deviations were identified.
4.
Surveillance Observations a.
The inspectors observed portions of the following surveillance test:
ST-RPS-12, R12,1/13/81, " Axial Power Distribution Channels"
.
b.
The inspectors determined through personal observations and records, as appropriate, that:
(1) Approved procedures were used.
(2) Test instrumentation was calibrated.
(3) Limiting Conditions for Operation were met when the system being tested was removed from service.
(4) The test data was recorded accurately and completely. Selected test results were independently verified by the inspector.
(5) The surveillance test documentation was properly reviewed and test discrepancies were rectified.
(61 Test results met Technical Specification requirements.
(7) The test was done by qualified personnel.
