Followup (92701)

Information Notices (Closed) Information Notice (IN) 88-67:

"PWR Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Overspeed Trip Failure" The licensee performed Operational Events Assessment No.88-201 in response to IN 88-67. To date, the licensee has not performed overspeed trip testing of the TDAFW pump.

The present governor does not allow the turbine to be taken to the speed of the overspeed trip (approximately 4140 rpm).

Engineering support has been requested to propose a procedure for accomplishing overspeed trip testing during the 1990 refueling outage.

Periodic inspections of the tappet ball used in the overspeed mechanism will also be considered. 'The tappet ball was last inspected in February 1988 and found to be in good condition.

All activities were conducted in a satisfactory manner and no violations or deviations were identified.

3.

Operational Safety Verification (71707)

-The inspectors observed control room operations, reviewed applicable logs and conducted discussions with control room operators throughout the inspection period. The inspectors verified the operability of selected safety-related systems, reviewed tagout records, and verified proper return to service of affected components.

Tours of the auxiliary and turbine buildings were conducted.

During these tours, observations were made relative to plant equipment conditions, fire hazards, fire Ata w m,;

housekeeping, tagging of equipment, ongoing maintenance and surveillance, containment. integrity, and availability of safety-related equipment.

The

inspectors observed a number of control room shift turnovers.

The turnovers were conducted in a professional manner and included log reviews, panel walkdowns, discussions of maintenance and surveillance activities in progress or planned, and associated LCO time restraints, as applicable.-

(

,

,

During the inspection period, the inspectors walked down the accessible portions of the Auxiliary FeedwaterL( AFW) System.: Items checked

,

included: an operational valve lineup; prnper housekeeping including

control of flammable materials; normal pump seal and valve stem leakages; proper electrical breaker and switch lineup; operable instrumentation-i including pressure monitors and valve position indications; and proper t

lineup of the service water and condensate storage support systems.

'

Overall, the. system, including both the motor driven and turbine driven pumps, appeared to be in a sound state of operational readiness and no e

i b

problems were identified.

j h

During routine tours of the facility, the inspectors observed the

i licensee's security activities including: badging of personne'1; access

'

- control; security walkdowns; security response (compensatory actions);

e

control of visitors; security staff attentiveness; and operation of i

i security equipment. During_these activities one violation involving F

inadequate escorting practices was identified.
