Licensee Accion on Previous Inspection Findings a.
(Closed) Deficiency 78-08-01 (Paragraph 1-6 of RII Report 78-08):
Inadequate fire rating on record storage vault doors. The inspector reviewed this item with the licensee to insure that action taken was in accordance with corrective action indicated in the licensee's letters of response dated May 9, 1978, and May 31, 1978.
This review indirsted that two new doors (Class A, 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> fire rating)
had been installed on the record storage vault.
However, upon verification of the installation of the doors the inspector deter-mined that one of the new doors only had a fire rating of 1 1/2 hours rather than the required 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> rating. The fire rating nameplate on the inadequate door was still covered with tape at the 2355 032

-2-time of this inspection.
In addition, this door was wedged fully open with a book and was left unattended. The door in question is ineffective as a fire barrier due to being blocked open and having only a 1 1/2 hour fire rating. This item is a Deviation (79-08-01).
b.
(Closed) Deficiency 78-31-01 (Paragraph 5.d of RII Report 78-31):
Failure to follow clearance order procedures.
Implementation of the corrective actions indicated in the licensee's response letter, dated February 2,1979, has been completed. The inspector has no further questions at this time.
c.
(Closed) Unresolved Item 78-06-02 (Paragraph 3 of RII Report 78-06):
Record retention discrepancies with respect to Technical Specifi-cation time requirements.
Document Control Procedure DC-104 has been revised to require retention of all operating Quality Assurance records for the life of the plant.
The insp-ctor has no further questions at this time.
4.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required to determine whether they are acceptable or may involve noncompliance or deviations. New unresolved items identified during this inspection are discussed in paragraph 5.
5.
Facility Housekeeping / Cleanliness Controls The inspector toured the facility, reviewed applicable Administrative Instructions, and talked with licensee personnel to ascertain whether adequate housekeeping and cleanliness controls have been implemented in accordance with Section 5.2.10 of ANSI N18.7-1976 to assure that the quality of safety related systems is not degraded. The following two items of concern were identified by the inspector and had also been identified by the licensee. Corrective action is being implemented in both areas at this time.
Administrative Instruction AI-500 places responsibility for general a.
cleanliness in all operating areas of the plant with the Shift Supervisor. However, currently there are no implementing procedures in existence which establish acceptable standards or prescribe inspection frequency for the various plant areas. The licensee is currently developing a procedure, as a result of an internal corporate management memo, which will establish plant areas, acceptable criteria, responsibility, and inspection frequency for general cleanliness in accordance with ANSI N18.7-1976.
The licensee stated that this procedure would be developed and implemented by July 1, 1979.

Administro!ive Instruction AI-600 places responsibility for clean-liness durin; maintenance functions with the maintenance supervisor.
However, currently the various maintenance procedures do not have acceptable cleanliness standards incorporated into them in accordance with ANSI N18.7-1976. This was also recognized by the licensee and all maintenance procedures are currently being re"ised to include these requirements. The licensee stated that thest revisions will be completed by April 23, 1979.
These two items will be designated as Unresolved Item 79-08-02 and will be reinspected during future inspections.
6.
Licensee Action on Previously Identified Open Items The inspector reviewed licensee action on previously identified items of concern through discussions with licensee personnel, and verification of the implementation of applicable corrective action. The status on these items is indicated below:
(0 pen) IFI 77-17-03 Diesel Annuniciators (See RII Reports 77-17, a.
78-10, and 78-21).
The inspector reviewed modification packages MAR 77-7-33 and MAR 77-7-33A which had been completed by the licensee.
However, the question of whether an adequate functional test of the modification had been performed was raised by an NRC Quality Assurance inspector and identified as an apparent item of noncompliance in RII report 79-04.
b.
(Open) IFI 77-18-04 Heat Tracing Annunciators (See RII reports 77-18, and 78-21).
The modification package for this item, MAR 77-2-27, has not been released by corporate engineering as of this inspection.
c.
(Closed) IFI 78-21-04 Procedure Review Record Copy Discrepancies.
This item was originally identified during inspection 78-21 and dealt with the fact that control room copies of procedure review records differed from that contained in Administrative Instruction AI-400. The difference pertained to the title below one signature block on the form. The inspector verified that the forms presently in use are the correct version and do agree with AI-400. The inspector has no further questions at this time.
d.
(Open) IFI 78-23-02 Decay Heat Sea Water Heat Exchanger Water Box i
Crack (Se e paragraph II-8 of RII Report 78-23).
The inspector reviewed the status of the permanent solution to this crack problem.
A new water box, fabricated of carbon steel, has been received and is stored in the heat exchanger room. Installation will be accom-plished when cathodic protection system is received. The temporary fix on the faulty water box is still effectively maintaining water box integrity at this time.

During the tour of the turbine and auxiliary buildings the tags from four clearance orders listed in the clearance log were certified to be correctly hung, sixteen seismic restraints were observed for proper oil reFervoir level and settings, and the positions of five motor operated valves were determined. During the tour of the control room the positions of these five motor operated valves were verified, reasons for various annunciators were discussed with operating personnel and contrcl room manning was verified to be in coutcr:-nce with the technical specifications on two shif ts.
No discrepancies were identified.
c.
Management Plant Tours During this review of operations the inspector determined that licensee management did not have an established program to provide for periodic tours of the facility by management personnel. The inspector brought the concerns and recommendations presented by IE Circular 76-07 to the attention of the licensee. This circular addressed, in part, pla s or programs to provide licensee management positive assurance that members of the operating and support staff are complying with safety procedures in ef fect. One of the recommen-dations in the circular was to establish random backshift and weekend visits, by management and supervision, to monitor and assess operations including crew manning and performance, equipment status and plant conditions. The licensee acknowledged the inspector's comments and stated they would develop such a program. The inspector will follow the progress of this program development during future inspections (IFI79-08-03).
8.
High Density Spent Fuel Racks The inspector reviewed the licensee's program for providing additional spent fuel storage capacity within the existing spent fuel pools.
Documentation reviewed included the approval of the contractor engin-eering drawings by the licensee; the purchase order from the licensee to the contractor; the quality essurance program supplied to the licensee by the contractor; and the results of a-inspection report of the high density spent fuel racks performed by the contractor, the licensee, and the fabricator.
The contractor and the licensee will be inspecting the high density spent fuel racks during fabrication as stated in the quality assurance program plan. Fabrication is dependent upon these inspections, since these inspec-tions are hold points, and additional fabrication cannot proceed unless the inspection results are satisfactory.
