Licensee Actions on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Unresolved Items (50-286/78-28-02 & 80-21-02) These items address concerns related to PT-A05 Electrical Heat Tracing. This annual test performed on the heat tracing circuits, which prevent freezing of piping at the screen well intake, consistently identifies problems with circuits that are not used in the summer months. A recent review, by the inspector, of the most recent surveillance test performed by the licensee closes these items.
Refer to Section 4.B of this report for details.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (50-286/79-12-01) Establish procedures for flushing and hydrostatic testing of yard mains. After a review of Administrative Procedure AP-12 " Modifications," and discussions with the licensee, the inspector has determined that if future additions were added to the fire mains, hydrostatic testing and flushing pro-cedures would be an integral part of the modification package.
l (Closed) Unresolved Item (50-286/79-15-01) Pipe support deficiencies.
The inspector conducted a review of the pipe support deficiencies
'
delineated in inspection report 79-15, and has determined that proper repairs and actions taken by the licensee are acceptable.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (50-286/79-23-05) Review by the licensee of lamellar tearing of foundations. The unresolved item stemmed from the discovery, by the inspector, that a portion of a plate in the steam l
generator support had been cut away to accommodate a large drilling rig that was necessary to repair a broken stud on #31 steam generator. The inspector reviewed repair package M-I-763-3C, which was utilized to replace the portion of the plate on the steam generator support structure.
The inspector found the repairs were satisfactory, and has no further
,
questions regarding this item.

Plant Tour A.
Normal and backshift inspections were conducted during routine entries into the protected area of the plant, including the control room, PAB, fuel building, and containment.
During the inspection activities, discussions were held with operators, technicians (HP & I&C),
mechanics, foremen, supervisors, and plant management. The purpose of the inspection was to affirm the licensee's comitments and com-pliance with 10 CFR, Technical Specifications, and Administrative Procedures. Particular attention was directed in the following areas:
Instrumentation and recorder traces for abnormalities;
-
Proper control room and shift manning;
-
Proper use of procedures;
-
Review of logs to obtain plant conditions;
-
Verification of proper radiologically controlled areas
-
and access poliits; Verification of surveillance testing for timely
-
completion; Verification of safety related tagouts;

B.
The inspector recently reviewed PT-A05, surveillance of heat tracing on the equipment located at the intake structure. The results were the same as in past years with regard to circuit lights not function-ing, switch boxes containing moisture and corrosion, rnd circuits not functioning. This PT is performed to prove the circuits functional for the winter months. As in the past, these circuits were repaired and made functional The inspector addressed to management the subject of moisture and corrosion, as well as non-functioning circuits, and asked what course would be taken to prevent reoccurrence. Management has started re-pairs on the affected circuits and other problems delineated in the surveillance test, and has begun a study to correct the moisture problems. A long range solution, according to discussions, will be to erect a structure over the area to keep out the weather.
No violations were identified.

Receipt of Radiological Materials During this inspection period, the inspector reviewed the actions taken by the licensee with regard to the receipt of packaged Radiological Materials.
On September 24, 1982, the licensee was removing newly acquired equipment from the packaging, and discovered a box of unmarked radiological sources. The li-censee placed this box into their source vault until it could be resolved as to the origin of the sources. The licensee detennined that the sources were shipped by mistake by the manufacturer of the source test equipment. The li-censee also determined that they were to receive the sources, but in another shipment with proper certification. This certification has subsequently been received, and the sources are being utilized by the licensee.
The inspector contacted Region I and Region III with details of the incident.
No violations were identified.
