Reactor Protection System Surveillance The inspector reviewed SP 1303-4.1, Rev. 17, Reactor Pressure System Surveillance Procedure, which is performed every four weeks on each RPS channel and prior to each startup.. The inspector also reviewed the data sheets from this procedure from the RPS surveil-lance procedures performed during January, February and March of 1976.

The purpose of this review was to determine that the follow-ing Technical Specification requirements were satisfied.

a.

T.S. Table 2.3-1 Item 3, Reactor Trip at less than 91% of rated power with only one Reactor Coolant Pump in each loop operating, Reactor Trip on loss of both RCP's in one loop and loss of one.or two RCP's during two pump operations.

c.

T.S. 3.5.1.6, verified that, during all tests, the trip de-vices did not fail in the untripped state.

The inspector found no inadequacies in the areas itemized above.

3.

High and Low Pressure Iniection System Analog Channels The inspector reviewed SP 1303-4.11, Rev. 7, High and Low Pressure Injection System Analog Channels which is performed monthly to

,

satisfy the requirements of T.S. Table 4.1-1 Item 15 to test monthly the HPI analog channels.

The inspector reviewed the data sheets for this procedure performed January 8, 1976 and January 30, 1976.

No testing was required in February or March of 1976 due to the refueling outage in progress during that period of time.

The setpoints for the HPI actuation are set in a range of 1540 to 1550 psig and 554 to 550 psig.

The data recorded indicated that the

setpoints are required to be greater than 1500 psig and 500 psig by fy T.S. 3.5.3.1.

The inspector found no inadequacies in this area.

i

.)

~

4, Reactor Building Spray Actuation Setpoint The inspector reviewed SP 1302-5.11, Reactor Building 30 psig Pressure Channel, and the data for this test performed 12/18/75.

The inspector noted that the procedure verifies or adjusts the six pressure switches in the spray actuation channels to trip at be-tween 28.0 and 28.9 psig and that, for the test data, all switches were. set to be within that range.

The setpoints are required to be less than or equal to 30 psig by T.S. 3.5.3.1.

The inspector found no inadequacies in his review of this area.

5.

Shift and Daily Checks The inspector reviewed the data sheets for SP 1301-1, Shift and Daily Checks performed in January, February and March of 1976 to verify the following Technical Specification requirements were satisfied.

.i Based on review of the above items, the inspector had the following findings.

(}

(1) Rod Misaligned On January 15,1976 at 2026 Rod 3 in group 1 dropped from the fully withdrawn position (the group average was 100 percent) to the fully inserted position.

The inspector reviewed the Shift Foreman's log to determine if the

,

-

actions taken were in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specifications 3.5.2.2 and 4.7.1.2.

The core i

!

shutdown margin was determined to be 1.45% ak/k thus

'

satisfying the requirement.of T.S. 3.5.2.2.c that the shutdown margin be greater than one percent.

The reactor power was ic=ediately decreased to 45% (of rated) thus satisfying the requirement of T.S. 3.5.2.2.d to reduce power below 60% of the thermal power allowable.

Subscquently, at 0555 on January 16, 1976 the plant was shutdown to replace the failed CRD stator on the dropped rod.

On return to power all rods were operable.

The inspector found no inadequacies in this area.

(2) Monitoring Requirements for Ouadrant Tilt Technical Specification 3.5.2.4.d requires that the quandrant tilt be monitored at least every two hours during operation above 15 percent power.

The inspector's review of SP 1301-1, Shift and Daily Checks noted that the procedures require recording of the values of the four power range channels and the calculation of the

-

Quadrant Power Tilt per the definition given in T.S.

1.6.1 and recording of that value.

The data sheet for SP 1301-1 completed on February 14, 1976 indicated that, with the reactor at 100 percent

,

power, the readings of the four power range channels, the core Quadrant Tilt, and the Core Lebalance were not re-

corded a,e 1800, 2000, and 2200 hours0.0255 days <br />0.611 hours <br />0.00364 weeks <br />8.371e-4 months <br /> as required by SP 1301-1.

The id:ensee provided the inspector with the hourly computre loge for that period which indicated that the Quadrant lower Tilt and Core Imbalance were within

.

the Technical Specification required values.

Through ()

discussio.'s with the licensee and review of other hourly computer logs to determine the adequacies of these logs the inspector determined that the plant computer logs satisfied the technical specification require =ents.

The bases for Technical Specification 3.5.2 states, "the plant computer will scan for tilt and imbalance and will

,

l satisfy the Technical Specification requirements."

l i

j Based on the above, the inspector determined that con-trary to Technical Specification 6.8.1 which states in

,

part, " Written procedures and administrative policies

'

shall be established, implemented..." the data for Quadrant Tilt and Core imbalance on February 14, 1976 between 1600 and 2400 hours0.0278 days <br />0.667 hours <br />0.00397 weeks <br />9.132e-4 months <br /> was not recorded in accord-ance with SP 1301-1.

This is a deficiency.

OP-1102-2, Plant Startuo

.

During review of OP 1102-2, Plant Startup, the inspector noted that, on page 39, Enclosure No.1, procedure SP 1303-4.12 was listed.

,

j The correct listing is SP 1303-4.11, High and Low Pressure Injection Analog Channels.

The licensee stated that SP 1303-4.12 has been combined with SP 1303-4.11 and that OP 1102e2 would be corrected.

This item is unresolved pending issuance of a corrected OP 1102-2.

8.

Reacter Building Pressure Setpoints

.

!

Technical Specification 3.5.3.1 requires that the ~ Reactor Building Pressure setpoint actuation of reactor building cooling and isola-tion and actuation of high pressure injection system is less than or equal to 4 psig.

The inspector reviewed SP 1303-4.13, Sections 6.1.7, 6.2.7 and 6.3.7 which require the checking and/or adjusting of the Reactor Building Pressure bistables to 2.5 to 2.8 psig.

The inspector reviewed the completed SP 1303-4.13 performed February 3,1976 and verified that the results indicated the setpoints were within the range specified in the procedure.

The inspector found no inadequacies in this area.

9.

Pressurizer Heating and Cooldown Rates Technical Specification 3.1.2.3 lLsits the pressurizer heatup and cooldown rates to 1000F/hr.

The inspector examined the com-pleted trend recorder traces of RC Loop temperatures and pressures recorded during plant cooldowns on 1/16/76 and 2/21/76 and the plant heatup on 1/17/76.

The inspector determined that maximum temperature change rate for the pressurizer during these events i

was 76 F/hr.

The inspector found no inadequacies in this area.

Emergency Diesel Generators Monthly Test Technical Specification 4.6.1.a requires a monthly test on each Diesel Generator which includes manually initiated start, manual synchronization with the other power sources and loading to 3000 Kw.

Surveillance Procedure 1303-4.16, Emergency Power Systems is designed to satisfy the Technical Specification requirement for the monthly test.

The inspector reviewed the SP 1303-4.16 data sheets for the tests performed during January, February and March.

During this period, a total of 21 tests were performed on the "A" Diesel-Generator and 19 tests were performed on the "B" Diesel-Generator.

,

Since T.S. 4.6.1.a required only 3 to-'s during this time, the

,

majority of the testing was performe6 demonstrate operability

,

prior to and following maintenance on.he Diesel-Generators.

The inspector noted that the data for this test required recording of the individual cylinder exhaust temperature and the maxi =um differ-ential temperature between cylinders.

The data sheet listed a normal range for exhaust temperature on each cylinder and a tem-perature limit.

The data sheet also listed a maximum differential temperature limit of 2500F. The inspector expressed concern that

-

on most of the data sheets the cylinder exhaust temperatures were k.)

outside the nor=al range listed on the data sheet and on 22 of the 40 data sheets, che enterec. value for differential temperature

{

exceeded the 2500F limit.

The maximum differential temperature recorded van 3000F for D-G "B" on March 1, 1976.

The licensee stated that the diesel vendor had been consulted on the accept-ability of this data and the vendor stated that it was acceptable.

The licensee is presently requesting that the vendor determine more realistic temperature limits.

This item is unresolved until the data sheet for SP 1303-4.16 is modified to reflect the actual temperature limits.

11.

Reactor Coolant System Oxygen Limits Technical Specification 3.1.5.1 requires an oxygen concentration limit in the pri=ary coolant of 0.1 ppm during power operation.

The inspector reviewed the data of SP 1301-3, Reactor Coolant Sample Procedure which samples and determines the oxygen concen-tration in the RCS five times weekly.

The data for SP 1301-3 indicated that for the period of January through Feburary 21, 1976 (date when refueling outage coc=enced) the maximum Oxygen Concer.cracion was 0.075 ppo during power operation.

The inspector found no inadequacies in this area.

Reactor Coolant Leakage Evaluations The inspector revieued the Shift Foreman's log from January 1 to February 21,1976 (date refueling outage commenced) and the data sheets for SP 1301-1, RC System Leak Rate, for the same period.

The review indicated that the Reactor Coolant did not exceed any of the limitations of Technical Specification 3.1.6 during this period of time. The inspector found no inadequacies in this area.

{

13. Maintenance on ECCS and Emergency Power Systems i

The inspector reviewed the Work Request documents for the seven maintenance items performed during February, 1976 on emergency

electrical system components.

The Work Request forms were properly signed and approved by the Supervisor of Maintenance and the

.

l Quality Control supervisor. The inspector also reviewed two Work Requests for maintenance performed on ECCS components during power operation in January and February. The inspector found no inade-quacies in this area.

14.

Maximum Rod Worth Test

[]

The inspector reviewed Enclosure 5 of SOP 199 dated 5/17/75,

" Ejected Control Rod Worth Measurements" this test is performed to verify compliance with T.S. 3.5.2.3 which states in part "the worth

!

of a single inserted control rod shall not exceed 0.63 percent ak/k at rated power or 1.0 percent ak/k at hot zero power." The data

l from SOP 199 performed 6/22/75 indicated the worth of control rod H-14 was 0.58 percent ak/k at zero power hot condition. The licen-

.

see stated that H-14 had been determined to be the strongest rod

.

from computer code analysis and that the rod would be worth less at rated power.

The licensee stated the evaluation and measurement was valid for the period of January through March of 1976 since the only core alteration was defueling the core which commenced on March 3, 1976 and was completed on March 10, 1976.

The inspector had no further questions in this area.

Requirements for Containment Integrity Technical Specification 3.6.2 states, " Containment integrity shall be maintained when both the reactor coolant system is open to the containment atmosphere and a shutdown margin exists that is less than that for a refueling shutdown."

The inspector determined by discussions with the licensee and re-view of the Shif t Foreman's log that the reactor coolant system was opened to the atmosphere on 2/26/76 and remained open through the inspection period.

The Shif t Foreman's log of daily boron con-centration determinations indicate that the concentration was main-l tained greater than 1900 ppm during this period.

A boran concentra-

'

tion of 1800 ppm provides the refueling shutdown margin (Refer to T.S. bases for Section 3.8), therefore containment integrity was not required.

The inspector had no further questions in this area.

16.

Containment Isolation Valves

.

Through discussions with the licensee and review of the Shift Fore-man's Log and the data sheets for SP 1303-5.1, " Reactor Building (3 Cooling and System Logic Channel and Component Test," the inspector

.

,/

determined that, during the period of January through March, no reactor building icolation valves were inoperable when the reactor was critical.

Therefore, the actions described in Technical

,

Specification 3.6.6 were not required to be performed.

The inspector found no inadequacies in this area.

.

17.

Corporate Technical Support Staff Review Technical Specification 6.5.2.A.2.a requires that the Corporate

,

.

Technical Support Staff (TSS) review evaluations of proposed changes to procedures, equipment or systems to verify that an unreviewed safety question was not involved.

The licensee identified 133 procedure changes and 7 change / modifications made to equipment described in the FSAR which were Unplemented during January and February of 1976.
