DETAILS Persons Contacted

• Gates, Plant Manager C. Brunnert, Supervisor, Operations Quality Assurance M. Core, Supervisor, Maintenance J. Fisicaro, Supervisor, Nuclear Regulatory and Industry Affairs J. Foley, Supervisor, I&C and Electrical Field Maintenance M. Kallman, Supervisor, Security L. Kusek, Supervisor, Operations

• D. Munderloh, Licensing Engineer T. McIvor, Supervisor, Technical R. Mueller, Plant Engineer G. Roach, Supervisor, Chemical and Radiation Protection J. Tesarek, Reactor Engineer S. Willrett, Supervisor, Administration Services and Security

• Denotes attendance at the monthly exit intervie The inspector also contacted other plant personnel, including operators, technicians, and administrative personne . Operational Safety Verification The NRC inspector conducted reviews and observations of selected activities to verify that facility operations were performed in conformance with the requirements established under 10 CFR, administrative procedures, and the TS. The NRC inspector made several control room observations to verify:

. Proper shift staffing

. Operator adherence to approved procedures and TS requirements

. Operability of reactor protective system and engineered safeguards equipment

. Logs, records, recorder traces, annunciators, panel indications, and switch positions complied with the appropriate requirements

. Proper return to service of components

. Maintenance orders (M0) initiated for equipment in need of maintenance

. Appropriate conduct of control room and other licensed operators

y. .

During an emergency planning (EP) inspection performed by Region IV personnel, the NRC EP inspector noted that the individual designated on the watchbill as the shift supervisor and emergency site director had impaired vision. This individual had eye surgery for cataracts in the recent past and his vision had not fully recovered to a point where he could pass an eye examination. The licensee had elected to provide an additional individual licensed as a senior reactor operator onshift with the designated shift supervisor. The licensee stated that the purpose of adding the individual to the shift was to provide the shift supervisor with assistance, should the need arise, due to the shift supervisor's vision problem Following discussions between the licensee management and the NRC SRI on November 21, 1986, the licensee designated the additional senior reactor operator on shif t as the acting shift superviso On November 26, 1986, the licensee filed a report with the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR Part 55.41. This report provided the NRC with a netification of disability related to the vision impairment of the shift supervisor. This item remains unresolved pending review during a subsequent inspection. (285/8630-01)

No violations or deviations were note . Plant Tours The NRC inspector conducted plant tours at various times to assess plant and equipment conditions. The following items were observed during the tours:

. General plant conditions

. Equipment conditions, including fluid leaks and excessive vibration

. Plant housekeeping and cleanliness practices including fire hazards and control of combustible material

. Adherence to the requirements of radiation work permits

. Work activities performance in accordance with approved procedures During tours of the plant, the NRC inspector noted the following:

. On two different occasions, compressed gas cylinders were observed to be stored in the plant that were not properly secured. Upon notification by the inspector, the licensee immediately secured the cylinder . During replacement of fire doors, the individuals performing the replacement failed to reinstall the appropriate personnel warning sign This included signs such as no smoking, no two-way radio

No violations or deviations were identifie , Security Observations ,

The NRC inspector verified the physical security plan was being < implemented by selected observation of the following items: '

l u

. The security organization is properly manne . Personnel within the protected area (PA) display their identification badge .

. Vehicles are properly authorized, searched, and escorted or controlled within the P . Persons and packages are properly cleared and checked before entry into the PA is permitted. An observation, made by the SRI on November 20, 1986, regarding the apparent failure to search a package, was referred to the NRC physical security inspector, onsite at the tim .

The effectiveness of the security program is maintained when security equipment failure or impairment requires compensatory measures to be employe No violations or deviations were identifie . Safety-Related System Walkdowns The NRC inspector walked down accessible portions of the following safety-related system to verify system operability. Operability was determined by verification of selected valve and switch positions. The system was walked down using the following drawing and procedure:

. Raw water system (Drawing 11405-M-100, Revision 27, and Procedure 01-RW-1-CL-A, Revision 14).

During the walkdown, the NRC inspector noted minor discrepancies of an editorial nature between the drawing, procedure, and plant as-built conditions for the selected areas checked. None of the conditions noted affected the operability or safe operation of the system. Licensee personnel stated that the noted minor discrepancies would be correcte No violations or deviations were identified, s
