Evers, Reactor Supervisor The inspectors also talked with and interviewed members of the Operations, Maintenance, Health Physics, Instrument and Control, and Security Group * Denotes those attending one or more exit interview . Maintenance-Refueling Station maintenance activities of safety related systems and components were observed to verify that they were conducted in accordance with approved procedures, regulatory guides and industry cedes or standards and in conformance with technical specifications. The tu?l: wing items were considered during this review: Approvals were obtained prior to initiating the work; activities were accomplished using approved pro-cedures and were inspected as applicable; quality control records were maintained; activities were accomplished by qualified personnel; parts and materials used were properly certified; radiological controls were

implemented; and fire prevention controls were implemented. Work re-quests were reviewed to determine the status of outstanding jobs and

! to assure that priority is assigned to safety related equipment main-tenance which may affect system performance.

The following maintenance activities were observed:

of April and May. The inspectors reviewed safety-related tagout and jum-per logs. Tours of the containment, auxiliary and turbine buildings were conducted to observe plant equipment conditions, potential fire hazards, radiation protection controls, housekeeping / cleanliness conditions, and implementation of the physical security pla No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie . Type B&C Leak Rate Tests The inspectors reviewed representative testing performed as described in SP-56-090, (Containment Local Leak Rate - type B and C tests).

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie . Refueling Activities The inspectors verified that, prior to handling of fuel in the core, all applicable surveillance and procedures had been completed. During the refueling it was verified that periodic testing of related equipment was performed, containment integrity was maintained as required, good house-keeping was maintained in the refueling area, and required staffing was maintained. Activities were performed in accordance with Technical Speci-fications requirements and licensee approved procedures. The inspectors observed two shifts of fuel handling activitie No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie . Independent Inspection The inspectors conducted a general inspection of operations, maintenance, health physics, security, quality assurance and administrative activitie Followup on a Performance Appraisal Section potential enforcement finding indicated that the licensee had not conformed with the NRC-approved 11-censed operator requalification program. The program requires that the annual examination is to be given in its entirety within a single, con-secutive, fourteen-day period. Contrary to this requirement, the health physics training examination grades received several months prior to the 1980 annual requalification examination were used in compilation of the 1980 annual requalification examination grade. This is in noncompliance with Section 55.33 of 10 CFR Part 55 and Section 7.0 of the Kewaunee Operator Requalification Program (50-305/82-09-01(DPRP)). The licensee has taken action to correct and prevent recurrence of this noncompliance and need not respond to the notice of violation by reemphasizing the re-quirements of Section 7 with the training personne . Exit Interview The inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in Paragraph 1)

throughout the months and on May 28, 1982 and summarized the scope and findings of the inspection activities. The licensee acknowledged the state-ment by the inspector with respect to the one item of noncompliance (see Paragraph 6).
