2.

Licensee Action On Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Noncompliance (305/83-01-01). Failure to follow procedures pro-vided for control of equipment to maintain reactor and personnel safety and to avoid unauthorized operation of equipment. Personnel were re-instructed of the tagging requirements at a plant safety meeting held on March 9, 1983.

(Closed) Noncompliance (305/83-01-03). Unauthorized change to maintenance procedure. Maintenance personnel have been reinstructed of the require-ments of having changes to procedures properly reviewed and signed off.

(Closed) Noncompliance (305/83-01-05). Failure to have documentation

[

available prior to use of material. Procedures have been implemented

'

which require material to be placed in a " hold" status until the purchase order is available to verify that the order specifications have been satisfied.

(Closed) Noncompliance (305/83-04-01 & 02). Failure to provide, as required by the Technical Specifications, a detection system sensitive to radioactivity for reactor. coolant leakage into the containment. All-shif,t. supervisors have reviewed the event with their shift personnel; indicating lights have been modified to provide a more easily recognizable status of detection system; and procedures have been revised to require additional verification.of valve position.

(C1'osed) Deviation (305/82-21-02).

Failure to have flow indication for radiation monitor channel R-16 as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report.

Flow indicator.has oeen installed as per Design Change Request l

No. 962.

(Closed) Open Item (305/83-04-03).

Conduct training on fire protection Technical Specifications. Training was completed by June 15, 1983 for all operating shift personnel.

(Closed) Open Item (305/83-07-01).

Incorporate Part 21 report informa-tion from Ametek into plant procedures.

Information was -incorporated into plant procedure CMP 6-1.

The procedure was reviewed and approved by the Plant Operations Review-Committee on August 1, 1983.

3.

Operational Safety Verification The inspector observed control room operations, reviewed applicable logs and conducted discussions with operators throughout the inspection period. The inspector verified the operability of selected safety-related systems, reviewed tagout records and verified proper return to service of affected components. Tours of the reactor containment, auxiliary and turbine buildings were conducted. During these tours, observations were made relative to equipment condition, fire hazards, fire protection, adherence to procedures, radiological control and conditions, house-keeping, security, tagging of equipment, ongoing maintenance and surveil-lance, containment integrity, and availability of safety-related equip-ment.

During the inspection period, the inspector walked down the accessible portions of the auxiliary feedwater, fire protection, service water, emergency diesel generator, high head safety injection, containment spray, residual heat removal, component cooling, spent fuel pit cooling and radiation monitoring systems to verify operability.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

4.

Monthly Maintenance Observation Station maintenance activities of safety related systems and com-ponents listed below were observed / reviewed to ascertain that they were conducted in accordance with approved procedures, regulatory guides and industry codes or standards and in conformance with technical specifications.

The following items were considered during this review:

the limiting conditions for operation were met while components or systems were removed from service; approvals were obtained prior to initiating the work; activities were accomplished using approved procedures and were inspected as applicable; functional testing and/or calibrations were performed prior to returning components or systems to service; 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 requests were reviewed to determine status of outstanding jobs and to assure that priority is assigned to safety related equipment maintenance which may affect system performance.

The following items were considered during the inspection:

that testing was performed in accordance with adequate procedures, that test instrumentation was calibrated, that test results conformed with techni-cal specifications and procedure requirements were reviewed by personnel other than the individual directing the test, and that any deficiencies identified during the testing were reviewed and resolved by appropriate management personnel.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

6.

Independent Inspection The inspector conducted a general inspection of operations, maintenance, health physics, security, quality assurance, and administrative activities.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

7.

Licensee Event Reports Followup Through direct observations, discussions with licensee personnel, and review of records, the following event reports were reviewed to determine that reportability requirements were fulfilled, immediate corrective action was accomplished, and corrective action to pre-vent recurrence had been accomplished in accordance with technical specifications.

82-21/01T Low Flow From Containment Air Cooler Modified flow dampner positions to obtain design flow 83-06/03L Inadvertant Actuation of Containment Spray Installed a missing current limiting resistor in lamp test circuit 83-07/01T Failure to Shift R-11 and R-12 to Containment Following Containment Vent Revised containment ventilation and purge procedure 83-G9/03L Failure to Provide Backup Fire Protection Conducted training on fire protection Technical Specification 83-11/03L Failure of Turbine Drive Auxiliary Feedwater Pump (TDAFWI) X-connect Valves To Open Revised operating procedure for auxiliary feedwater pumps 83-13/03L Failure of Valves to Pass Local Leakrate Tests Performed maintenance as required

8.

Regional Requests The inspector was requested to write the Safety Evaluation Report for the licensee's proposed Technical Specification Amendment No. 54.

The report was submitted to the Regional Office on July 15, 1983. Reference TAC No. 51500 and Planned Accomplishment No. 1111.

9.

Plant Trips At 5:15 a.m. on July 27, 1983, the plant tripped when a fault developed in a constant voltage transformer feeding an instrument bus. During restart of the plant, following the replacement of the faulted trans-former, the plant experienced two trips due to low-low steam generator level on "B" steam generator.

Cause of these trips were due to bent linkage in a main feedwater regulating valve's positioner. Following repairs to the positioner the plant was placed on line at 8:36 a.m. on July 28, 1983. All systems responded as expected following the plant trips.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

10.

Information Meeting With Local Officials During the inspection period the inspector met with the County Commis-sioner of Kewaunee County; the Mayor and Town Board of Kewaunee, WI; and the Chairman and Town Board of the Township of Carlton. The purpose of the meetings were to familiarize the officials with the role of the resident inspector and the resident inspection program.

11.

Exit Interview The inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in Paragraph 1)

throughout the period of June 23-August 15, 1983 and on August 12, 1983, summarized the scope and findings of the inspection activities.
