-2-During the examination of the Fire Fighting Procedures section of the Emergency Plan (AP 500), the inspector noted that on page C29 the control room is listed as the location of two self-contained-breathing-devices for use by plant personnel for fire fighting purposes only.
Actually, the devices were located across the hall from the control room in a Xerox This is contrary to the Emergency Plan,Section III.l.c, page C29, room.
but is considered by the licensee to be a more accessible location. A licensee representative stated that the Emergency Plan will be changed to include the accurate locations of the self-contained-breathing devices.
The inspector observed that there are no self-contained-breathing-devices located in the control room. Neither the licensee's emergency plan, nor NRC requirements prescribe that self-contained-breathing-devices must be located in the control room for use by the control room operations personnel.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
3.
Independent Effort The inspectors provided three-shift surveillance at Rancho Seco during a portion of the period covered by this report.
On July 30,1979, a Resident Inspector was assigned to the plant and the three-shift coverage was terminated.
The independent inspection effort consisted primarily of on-shift surveillance of plant operations.
Also, on inspector sat in on a four-hour indoctrination lecture on security and health physics practices.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
4.
Plant Operations Over the period covered by this report, various shift logs, operating records, data sheets, instrument traces and records of equipment malfunc-tion were examined.
Tours of accessible areas were performed to make independent assessments of equipment and plant conditions. Specifically, the inspectors observed the proper monitoring of instrumentation by operators, that proper radiation controls were established, that plant housekeeping conditions were adequate, and proper disposal of contaminated clothing.
Also, the inspectors observed properc^ontrol room manning, including the two licensed operators in the control room at all times as required by IE Bulletin 79-05C/06C. Shift turnovers were observed to be conducted i-compliance with licensee procedures.
