Met Ed Maintenance Program l a.

Preventive Maintenance {} The preventive maintenance program being implemented by Met Ed station personnel was established by GPUSC Special Procedure No.

4, Freventive Maintenance TMI Unit 1.

This procedure covers systems and components within the QC scope, as defined by ! Gilbert Associates, Inc. Quality Acceptance Standard for TMI

Unit 1, SP-5550. The intent of the procedure is to properly l maintain QC controlled equipment from arrival or site through and including normal operations. An Equipment History Card, which specifies the required maintenance and maintenance Laterval, , is provided for each piece of equipment by Gilbert Associates, Inc.

The organization (UE&C Construction, UESC Startup, or Met Ed) hav--

ing jurisdiction over an individual system or component within the I QC scope is responsible for performing preventive maintenance in accordance with applicable Equipment History Card (~s).

As systems and components are turned over from one organization to another, the applicable Equipment History Cards are likewise turned over.

The inspector discussed the preventive maintenance program being implemented by Met Ed station personnel with cognizant Med Ed representatives and reviewed several Equipment History Cards for The components in various systems under Met Ed jurisdiction.

inspector's observations and the licensee representatives ces ents, where appropriate, were as follows:

  • R0 Inspection Reports No. 50-289/73-15, Paragraph 6.a. (6) and

. 50-289/73-06, Paragraph 4.f. (31 . I449 I80 we-.- ...eh -. .m.mer - -ye- -

... _ - .,.. _ _. ., _ _.. _,. _ . ._ _.

. __..... _._. _ _ __. . . - i . -/ . (1) About 90% of the program is being performed by operations personnel, and the remaining 10% is being performed by maintenance personnel.

(2) Equipment History Cards maintained by the operations and maintenance organizations were filed in notebooks according - to system and according to required maintenance interval, i.e., weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.

(3) Documentation contained on the Equipment History Cards reviewed by the inspector indicated that maintenance was being performed in accordance with the requirements of Special Procedure No. 4.

Maintenance performed by both operations and maintenance personnel was included in the inspector's review.

Additionally, surveillance test pro- , cedures w(.., referenced on the cards as.the procedure to be used when a Technical Specification surveillance test was to be performed.

, . I (4) A lubrication s.tedule covering each component within the QC scope has been developed to insure the proper grease and i ,'] d w/ oils are used during the performance of preventive r11ntenance.

l (5) Met Ed has depended on Gilbert Associates, Inc. to provide an Equipment History Card for each piece of equipment within the

QC scope; however, Met Ed ha_d not verified that all required cards for systems and components under their jurisdiction had been prepared and were included in their program. A licensee representative indicated that these cards are part of the system turnover package which Met Ed accepts and that as such all cards should be present.

The representative indicated that a review would be made to insure all required cards were prepared and included in the program.

(6) Special Procedure No. 4 sets forth general inspection require-ments for mechanical and electrical equipment and supplementary inspection requirements, inspection intervals and documentation requirements are provided on Equipment History Cards; however, more detailed inspection requirements / acceptance criteria are needed. For example, criteria for normal oil consumption, valve operating time, presence of contaminants like boric acid, , 1449 I81 ... .. _ ... . . .. _

Z. 3. L.. i....~.-. =. :...; w - .- -. -..-. . . .

-. iQ-7-i i chlorides and others, normal operating ranges of instruments, ! and other similar inspections are not included in the program.

' A licensee representative indicated that the program would be reviewed and more detailed inspection requirements would i be included.

(7) The program established by Special Procedure No. 4 vill be ' used until the unit is declared ready for commercial operation, and at that' time a more detailed preventive maintenance program, This which is being developed by Met Ed, will be implemented.

program was only in the early stages of development and theDur-program scope and requirements have not yet been defined.

ing discussions with a licensee representative relative to ,' this program, the inspector was shown an approved preventive maintenance procedure for a non-safety rela.ted system which ' The was an example of a procedure to Laplement this program.

' inspector reviewed this procedure and observed that definitive guidance / acceptance criteria was lacking in the following areas: the type of packing and packing adjustments data, pump align-t ment data, and vibration data. The licensee representative acknowledged the inspector's findings and indicated these ,_qj findings would be considered on a generic basis in tie develop-ment of preventive maintenance procedures for this reogram.

' b.

Corr'ective Maintenance . The corrective maintenance program being implemented by Met Ed station personnel was discussed with cognizant Met Ed representa-tives.

The administrative procedure which controls this program including f acility changes is Administrative Procedure No.1016 Implementation and Control of Station Maintenance; however, this procedure is only in draft form. Maintenance, when required, is being performed using this procedure in order to determine its acceptability.

This procedure establishes the use of the Work Request Form which includes the following: (1) Description of work required (2) Determination of whether or not a facility design change is involved (3) Assignment of Cognizant Engineer for post maintenanca testing, when required (4) Management review and approval including QC and PORC, as necessary (5) Maintenance procedure to be used (6) Description of work performed i449 l82 . . _.. . .. - - -

.. .... ........ -. - -.... . ...-.. . . . . ' -8-(7) Results of post maintenance test (8) Initiation of revisions to applicable drawings The inspector was shown the file of completed Work Request Forms, and the inspector selected two of these forms at random for review.

No deficiencies relative to documentation contained on these forms (including attached procedures) were observed.

  • According to.the licensee representatives, the administrative pro-cedure with the Work Request Form ensures maintenance or facility design changes are performed in a controlled manner; hcvever, the timeliness of individual jobs is affected because of the complexity of the system.

The inspector was informed that further chaIges to the administrative procedure were under revi.ew and that the pro-cedure would be revised. The need to develop and approve numerous ' maintenance procedures to work on safety related systems prior to core loading was stressed by the inspector during his discussions with the licensee representatives. The representatives acknowledged the inspector's remarks.

. . . . ., -10-During the inspection some procedural deficiencies were noted.

How-ever, all system turnover packages reviewed were in substantial con-formance with the licensee's procedures. The packages reviewed and the inspector's findings are as follows: a.

Rod Control System (MTX-53) . This package contained fifteen (15) file folders of material - numbered and arranged in accordance with TI-5.

Six cables had been identified as being improperly terminated on the print used for the check.

A field questionnaire had been generated as required. However, neither the field questionnaire nor the individual cables were noted on the Incomplete Items List.

> . When notified by the inspector, the item was added to the list ' by a licensee representative.

b.

Makeup and Purification System (MTX-144) O' - This package was subdivided Lato two (1) parts due to its size.

- (2) parts together contained thirty (30). file folders The two . of material numbered and arranged in accordance with. TI-5.

j The Incomplete Items Lists (2) noted the deficiencies Di accordance } with the applicable procedures.

However, the ttne completion section of the list had not been completed.

i l Sixteen (16) copies of Form ME-1 had been completed as required, but a signature identifying the data taker was missing.

j Several electrical checkoff sheets indicated that test 05 0?T and CT Check) had been completed on systems where the test was not applicable.

Six (6) instrument sheets were included that stated the instrument checkout was not complete. These instruments also appear 2d on the Incomplete Items List. However, the sheets-erroneously iuuicated the instruments had been accepted.

These deficiencies, representing a very small (<0.1%) portion of the package documentation, were corrected by licensea representa-tives prior to the completion of the inspection.

apparent discrepancies were found during the inspection of this

package.

I d.

Core Flood System (MTX-63) There were eight (8) folders of documentation in this package.

Part of the documentation in the folder for Valve CF-V-2A was a completed megger test sheet.

Other documentation indicated ,

the megger test was incomplete.

A licensee representative contacted the appropriate employee ' i and the contradiction was resolved.

i !

, RO:I has no further questions on these packages at this time.

3.

TP 250/2 l($) During the inspection the following generic deficiencies were found

in TP 250/2: '. a.

Procedure - Step 2 (Page 11) ' The statement in Step 2 of the procedure states requirements for signatures on UE&C Startup Turnover Agreement (TO-11. The state-ment is inconsistent with the practice of using a fascimile in.- stead of an original signature for the UE&C Construction. Department.

b.

Tab 2, Section V, (Page 28) . Paragraph "A" - General Requirements is in conflict with Section I, Paragraph Cll, regarding cables requiring a megger check.

In addition, Paragraph "A" refers to a paragraph "D" which is non-existant.

, A licensee representative stated that TP 25 3/2 would be revised to eliminate these conflicts. These items will be checRed during a future inspection.
