The inspector verified.that the above-listed Station Administrative Pro-cedures addressed the concerns of 10 CFR 50, and that a document control program is in effect. Particular attention was given to drawing control.
The inspector verified that current as-built drawings in the control room were consistent with the current drawings stored in the records vault.
The inspector also verified that:
Administrative controls are in effect for the use and issuance
-
,
of drawings, including changes, as a result of design modifi-cations; and, Procedures are in effect for the control of obsolete drawings
-
and drawings that are not controlled.
.
The inspector selected documents and drawings at random, and verified that the field copies are consistent witn the current master copies.
The licensee is currently in the process of verifying all drawings to
"as built." The program has been completed through the year 1981, and is continuing into 1982 No violations were identified.

Inspector Findings:
The inspector verified that the requirements and provisions required by ANSI 45.2.9 are delineated in the Station Administrative Procedures and Technical Specifications. The inspector also verified that the records are being stored in the required record storage facilities and filing cabinets.
The inspector verified that administrative duties have been delineated in the administrative procedures to provide for the disposition and storage of Quality Assurance Records.
The inspector conducted a tour of the storage facilities, and a veri-fication of selected documents to determine that the requirements of ANSI 45.2.9 and the administrative procedures were being adhered to.
The inspector identified the following nonconforrar.ces:
The installed Halon Fire Protection System had been disconnected,
-
thus rendering the fire protection system inoperable; and, The transient or operational cycling records for those plant
-
components that have been designated to operate safely for a limited number of transients or operational cycles did not exist.
These nonconformances are considered a violation. (82-25-01)
The inspector had discussions with the licensee concerning the above items. The licensee stated that the halon system was made inoperable to use parts from that system in other portions of the fire system designated to protect safety equipment. The rationale behind this action was that the records vault is alarmed in the control room, which is continuously manned, and the fire brigade ould respond to any indications of a fire.
(The fire brigade is on site 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day.) The inspector pointed out to the licensee that installed sys-tems must be operable or alternate systems should be in place to function in their behalf.
Further discussions indicated that the lack of the above-mentioned records was an oversight on the part of the licensee.

Licensee Actions The inspector verified that:
The licensee has issued Purchase Order 83-IP-0076, which procures
-
the services of a vendor representative, to repair and make operable the Halen System as well as ordering any parts necessary to make the system operational.
The licensee intends to enter into a service contract with the
-
vendor to maintain the fire system in the records vault as well as the new Technical Support Facility.
The records vault has several smoke detectors that will alarm in
-
the control room alerting the operators should a condition exist that would warrant the fire brigade to respond. Additional hand.
operated Halon fire extinguishers have been placed at the entrance to the vault, and the day shift records clerks have been instructed in their use.
The fire system has been made operational electrically, and is
-
currently awaiting a mechanical check to become fully operational.
The licensee has developed a transient log to monitor those sys-
-
tems that have a limited number of transients. They are in the process of developing a periodic test to update the log on a monthly basis.
The licensee has instituted a search of all records, required to
-
be maintained by ANSI 45.2.9, to detennine if any other logs or records have been overlooked.
Based on the above actions, the inspector considers these items closed, and will continue to monitor the results of licensee stated actions in future inspections.
Injury to Two Instrument Technicians On December 15, 1982, two Instrument Technicians suffered third degree burns while evaluating the tripping of a reactor coolant pump breaker. Another worker was burned while rendering assistance to the technicians. The three men were transported to the hospital, where the third worker was released, after treatment. Subsequently, one of the technicians was transferred to the burn unit at a nearby facility.

The results will be released when the findings are completed.
The damage to the electrical equipment is under assessment by the vendor.
The licensee has confirmed that no damage occurred to the cable, motor, or containment electrical penetrations.
No violations were identified.
Exit Interview s
At periodic intervals during the course of the inspection, meetings were held with senior facility management to discuss the inspection scope and findings. An additional exit interview was held on January 14, 1982 to summarize inspection findings, and to discuss plant status and current inspector concerns.
