Review of Reporting Recuirements Since the licensee has not yet submitted his start-up report, this inspection was limited to the contents of the Semi-Annual Report submitted on August 29, 1974 and covered the period from June 5 through June 30, 1974. Within this report the area selected for verification was the " Primary Coolant Chemistry".
,
This inspection consisted of a random selection of five days during this period and comparison of the data from these days to the Technical Specifications and the data submitted in the Semi-Annual Report. Additionally, discussions were held with the Site Chemist and a Staff Chemist concerning the meaning of the data.
The days selected for review were June 10, 21, 24, 27, and 30,1974.
No discrepancies were noted between the data in the Semi-Annual
.
Report and the random sample nor was any data outside of the limits in the Technical Specifications.
The inspector had no further questions in this area.
5.
Radiation Monitoring Systems (RMS) Calibration Status During a tour of the Control Room, the inspector observed calibration stickers on the meters associated with the RMS indicated all the
instruments with calibration stickers (approximately 80%) had passed their required quarterly calibration date by one to two months.

The licensee indicated that difficu.1 ties with the calibration procedure and certain instruments have been encountered. The licensee has also st,ated that his difficulties with the RMS have not resulted in noncompliance with his Technical Specification requirements. The inspector informed the licensee that it appeared that no effective calibration of the majority of the RMS
-
had been accomplished since April, 1974.
In a subsequent phone call on September 17, 1974 between Mr. Herbein of the licensee's staff and Mr. Westerman of the AEC, the licensee stated an Abnormal Occurrence report would be submitted regarding the RMS. This item is unresolved and will be re-examined on a
,i priority basis.

Violation of Security Plan
1 l
On September 12, 1974 the inspector observed that a gate in the security I
perimeter fence was opened to permit the unloading of a delivery
truck. The inspector observed no guard at the opened gate and walked through without escort and unchallenged into the Service Building.
l This is a violation of Section 2.3 of the Security Plans Administrative l
Procedure AP10.ll.1 Revision 0, dated February 13, 1974 which states,
'_ l
"that the individual issued a key for a security area lock is respon-sible for the area under that key's control until the area is again
'
secured and the key is returned."
Upon being informed, the licensee stated he took corrective action to place a guard at the open gate.
Subsequent phone calls between the Station Superintendent and Mr. Davis of the AEC on September 13 and 16 and Mr. Arnold, Vice President of Generation, Metropolitan Edison Company and Mr. O'Reilly of the AEC on September 16, 1974, confirmed the licensee's intent to rpgrade security to meet esta-
~ ' ~
blished requirements and emphasized the importance of adherence to security requirements.
