Reactor Coolant Flow Low Safety Injection Accumulator High/Low During the review of alarm procedures, the inspector noted that the Unit 2 safety injection accumulator high/low level annunciators were set at the same values for Unit A Unit 2 proposed TS change, dated March 30, 1979, revised
.the accumulator level limits to a narrower ban The Unit 2 control room logsheet had been'revised to reflect the current TS requirement; however, the alarm setpoint for the above annunciator had not been rese The inspector concluded that this.condition represented a potential for the applicant to operate in a TS action statement without the benefit of the subject alarm until the next scheduled surveillanc The applicant acknowledged the inspector's conclusion and stated that due to the present status of Unit 2, the alarm setpoint would not be revised until the NSSS (Westinghouse) issued a revised "Setpoint Limitations, and Precautions List" for the facility. It was further stated that this could take up to three or four month The inspector stated that upon issuance of the Unit 2 license, TS is the overriding document and should be complied with in all respect The applicants represen-tative stated that this area would be reviewed in conjunc-tion with the corporate office to assure a more timely exchange of information with respect on plant system Also, it was stated that once the TS are issued... (final-ized), and prior to Mode -2, a review of annunciator set-points would be conducted to *insure the setpoints are at least as conservative as corresponding TS lim~ts..
This item will.remain open pending completion of action as stated above by the applicant's representative and subsequent NRC:RI review (311/79-30-01). During the review of Annunciator Response Procedures it was observed that the specified setpoints were listed in a nonconservative manne For example, the setpoint for High Flux Power Range was written > 109%, however, the TS setpoint is listed as ~* 109%.
The applicant's repre-sentative stated that this was done to indicate the para-meter condition of an alarm upon reference to the procedure,
. ~- ----- --- - !!' *---*- *
and stated that alarm setpoints are set per T Further, it was.determined that annunciator response procedures are not used to calibrate alarm setpoint *
The inspector noted that the applicant's manner of speci-fying annunciator response procedure setpoints was consistent and therefore, had not further questions in this are No items of noncompliance were identifie Outstanding Procedure Items As noted in Paragraph 2, the major issues, disclosed during the procedures preoperational review, have been resolved; however, due to circumstances noted with each item,* *specific discrepancies remain outstandin The applicant's representative stated that these items will be closed prior to entering the applicable mode in which the procedure will be use The inspector acknow-ledged the above and stated that these items will be followed and reinspected by NRC:RI prior to eriterin~ the applicable mod These items are summarized belo Mode 6 SORC approval of refueling instruction (I-2) including the approval status on the procedur Approve and issue Revision 3 to the Fire Manua These are open pending subsequent NRC :RI in~_pect:l.on prior to entering Mode 6 (311/79-30-02).
Mode 4 Mode 3 and 4 checklist of OI-3.2, Cold Shutdown to Hot Standby needs to be reviewed for adequacy and issue TS 4. 5. 3. 2 needs to be *incorporated into the Surveillance Lo These are open pending subsequent NRC:RI inspection prior to entering Mode 4 (311/79-30-03).
