Audit and Surveillance Program Implementation Audits The audits and associated corrective actions conducted by the PSE&G Site Quality Assurance Group were reviewe The audits covered the period from December 1977 to the presen The audits we-re reviewed to verify that:
The audits were conducted in accordance with established procedures and schedules;
- The audits provided coverage of the site organizations consistent with responsibilities assigned; Checklists utilized were consistent with the procedural requirements applicable to the audited organization; Followup action was consistent with established procedures; and, The audits cumulatively provided documentary evidence of control of contractors/subcontractor No items of noncompliance were identifie Surveillance The conduct of the surveillance program performed by the PSE&G Site Quality Assurance Group of Phase 1 and 2 testing conducted by the PSE&G Startup Test Group was reviewe The documentation associated with the surveillance program (surveillance reports and associated followup action), covering the period April 1978 to the present, was reviewed to verify:
The surveillance scheduling was consistent with the "Plan of the Day" test scheduling; The surveillance coverage of individual tests was consistent with established procedures; Mandatory witness points were identified and witnessed; and, Followup action was consistent with established procedure No items of noncompliance were identifie.
Administration of Engineering Change Notices The inspector reviewed the activities associated with administering design changes via Engineering Change Notices (ECN 1 s) and Engineering Change Requests (ECR 1s).
Ten ECN 1s and their associated documentation were reviewed to determine that they were administered in accordance with the applicable procedures and that:
The status of individual ECN 1s was being maintained and tracked to completion; Engineering changes were being incorporated into design documents as as-built conditions; Design documents reflecting as-built engineering changes were disseminated to cognizant individuals or organizations; System operating/test status reflected the current status of individual ECN 1s; Accomplishment of design reviews and verifications was appropriately documented; and, Methods are available for administering ECN 1s remaining open at major project licensing milestone The ECN 1 s selected for review were associated with ECCS systems which had been turned over from the constructor to the licensee for pre-operational testin No items of noncompliance were identifie.
Test and Measurement Equipment Program Implementation The inspector selected devices which had been used during testing conducted on the RHR and SI System With respect to these devices the inspector reviewed: inventory and equipment control methods; calibration intervals/pretest calibrations performed; traceability to national standards; usage control/recall capa-bility; and, use of evaluated calibration services (internal and external).
The devices sampled and the activity during which they were used are listed belo Lab #1, Pressure Gage, Test 100-H-l, Revision 1 Lab #40, Pressure Gage, Test 100-H-2, Revision 2 Lab #41, Pressure Gage, Test 106-H-5, Revision 0 Lab #59, Pressure Gage, Position Calibration Sheet for 2SJ60 UET-lC-001, Digital Multimeter, Loop Calibration Sheet for 2LA-0210 *
.
UET-lC-076, Pressure Gage, Test 106-H-4, Revisions 1 and 2 FG 111, Pressure Gage, Test 100-H-3, Revision 3 FG 112, Pressure Gage, Test 100-H-4, Revision 1
No items of noncompliance were identified, however, an unresolved item is discussed in the following subparagrap Startup and Test Group Equipment The inspector noted that *instruments UET-lC-001 and 076 were procured by the Construction Manager 1 s Startup and Test Group from vendors who had not been evaluated and on purchase orders categorized as 11non-safety related.
The subject purchase orders did contain a requirement for certification traceable to national standards, but these certificates could not be locate Further, a review of the 11 User Log 11 did not indicate that instrument 076 had been issued for the subject test. The inspector 1 s concerns had been previously identified in the general findings of licensee audits g798 and S83 Corrective actions on these licensee identified discrepancies are still outstandin The inspector requested that the licensee identify the method by which he would assure that devices purchased as non-safety related items were not used for safety related activities prior to initial calibration or receipt of acceptable calibration documentatio The licensee stated that these activities would be formally reviewed, such as by an audit, and that appropriate corrective action would be taken should the review determine that any devices were not initially calibrated-or certified prior to us This item is unresolved pending appropriate action by the licensee and review by NRC:RI during a subsequent inspection (50-311/78-33-01). Jumper and Bypass Control The inspector reviewed the activities and associated documentation of PSE&G and United Engineers and Constructors (UE&C) with regard to control of temporary jumpers, disconnected leads, and temporarily installed mechanical test fixtures, fittings, and equipmen The review determined that the controls specified in the Salem Startup Manual have been implemented and provide for:
Maintenance of electrical jumper/disconnect logs for all leads or jumpers which are not controlled by a specific test procedure; Measures to assure removal or return to normal of electrical or instrumentation systems so disturbed;
- Administration of jumpers, disconnects or temporary equipment left in place during system turnovers; and, Identification of installed temporary equipmen During the review of the UE&C jumper log, the inspector noted that a series of leads had been disconnected from a computer test circuit (Drawing No. 203487-C-6389-l).
Although the circuit in question is a non-safety related internal communications system, the log had been annotated indicating that the affected leads were to be left perma-nently disconnected at the request of the PSE&G Performance Departmen This apparently permanent change was not, according to UE&C Test Group personnel, documented by an Engineering Change Notic When informed by the inspector, the PSE&G Site Quality Assurance Group representative stated that this appeared to be in conflict with the procedures for control of engineering changes and that the matter wouid be reviewed and corrected if necessar The inspector had no further question No items of noncompliance were identifie.
Training and Certification of Personnel The inspector had previously reviewed the training program and imple-mentation for training of quality assurance/quality control personnel as documented in IE Inspection Report Nos. 50-311/78-10, 50-272/78-19 and 50-311/78-2 During this inspection, the inspector re'ljewed the records of PSE&G and their contractors to determine that personnel responsible for supervising and conducting instrumentation and control system calibrations and checkouts were appropriately qualified and certified in accordance with the requirements of the Quality Assurance Plan, Startup Manual, and applicable implementing procedure Records were reviewed for PSE&G Engineering and Construction Division personnel and WIStO contractor personne The inspector reviewed the records of ten such individuals and determined that the records provided documentary evidence of qualification to the requirements of ANSI N45.2.6-197 No items of noncompliance were identifie.
Maintenance of Post-Turnover Systems The inspector reviewed the applicable procedures listed in paragraph 3 and discussed the methods of tneir implementation with licensee and Con-struction Manager personnel to verify that the following had been considered:
PSE&G implementation of corrective and preventive maintenance on turned-over systems;
--
Administration of maintenance for.turn-backs to UE&C; Jurisdictional tagging for turn-backs; and, Administration of post-maintenance retestin The inspectors had several questions about the administration of maintenance with regard to equipment turnbacks to UE& These matters ar~ addressed in IE In~~ection Report 50-311/78-3 No items of noncompliance were identifie. Site Tours System Walkthroughs The inspectors reviewed the documentation associated with and then inspected portions of systems which had been turned over to PSE&G for preoperational testing to determine that the System/ Equipment Turnover and Testing Turnover documentation accurately reflected system status and that the configuration of the installed systems was as described in the facility's
,FSA The inspectors reviewed and inspected the foll owing:
RHR System piping and equipment located in the No. 21 and 22 RHR pump rooms; Selected portions of the Component Cooling Water and Nuclear Service Water Systems in the Auxiliary and React Buildings; Piping and equipment located in the Boron Injection Tank Room; Safety Injection piping within the containment; and, Miscellaneous Safety Injection and Chemical and Volume Control Sy'stem piping in the Auxiliary and Reactor Building The systems and areas above were inspected with regard to the following characteristics:
- 1 *
General area housekeeping; Detailed configuration of the process p1p1ng included in the turnover packages was in agreement with the construction isometric drawings; General system configuration was in agreement with the latest approved system flow diagrams; Drawings reflected current Engineering Change Notice status on a sampling basis; and, As-found system status was properly reflected by turnover package outstanding items list Although no items of noncompliance were identified, the general area housekeeping in the No. 21 and 22 RHR Pump Rooms and the Safety Injection Pump Room was questioned by the inspector In these areas a significant buildup of dirt and small trash had accumulated on the floors, isolated pools of standing water existed in proximity to loose temporary electrical cables, and personnel access was generally difficult due to the presence of miscellaneous material not in apparent us When informed by the inspectors the licensee took immediate action to have the above conditions corrected and inspecte *
On further review, the inspector determined that both the PSE&G QA and UE&C QC organizations perform regulator routine inspections and surveillances of housekeeping and initiate prQmpt corrective action when adverse housekeeping conditions are identifie Storage Area Tour The inspectors toured the Electricians* Storeroom, Nuclear Laydown Area and the Gage Facility Storeroom and directly observed item identification, storage methods, general housekeeping practices and control of. nonconforming materia No items of noncompliance were identifie Unresolved Items Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, items of noncompliance, or deviation An unresolved item disclosed during this inspection is discussed in paragraph 6.c.
