3 Findings No items of noncompliance were identified during the course of the inspectio The licensee 1s documentation of mechanical and electrical inspections for the fuel handling building cranes could not be located prior to completion of the in-spection and will be reviewed during a subsequent inspectio This item is unresolved (311/78-56-01). Fuel Insoection Scope Inspection records for the first 118 fuel assemblies were r~viewed, fuel inspection activities were witnessed, and licensee and vendor fuel inspection personnel were interviewe Documents Reviewed (1)
