The following procedures were reviewed to ascertain that provisions have been established to insure that the requirements of the Technical Specifications are met during the refueling process:
GOI 100-2:
New Fuel Handling GOI 100-3:
Fuel Handling TI 14:
Special Nuclear Material Control and Accountability System TI 25:
Identification of Failed Fuel by In-Core and Out-of-Core Sipping no items of noncompli 6.
Refuelin Activities The official copies of these procedures and the documentation of the applicable stages of completion of the activity covered by these procedures were reviewed by the inspector.
Within the areas inspected, ance or deviations were identified.

fuel accountability methods were being implemented (c)
proper make-up and license requirements for the crews on the refueling floor and in the control room were established (d)
coordination of the refueling crew in the control room and on the refueling floor existed (e)
