d.
(0 pen)(80-18-03) Follow-up Item:
Improvements in Emergency Plan Based on review of the licensee's facility and discussion with the resident inspector, the inspector determined that some site areas cannot clearly hear the site public address system.
Satisfactory operation of the site public address system is all that is needed to close out this follow-up item.
e.
(0 pen)(80-21-02) Procedure for Processing Vendor Bulletins and
!
Circulars The licensee is in the process of adopting a new NRC recognized INP0 program. This program is currently being incorporated into proposed revisions of Administrative Procedure AP-1.
f.
(Closed)(80-21-03) Follow-up Item:
Clarification of the Limiting Number of Cycles for the HPI Nozzles The inspector reviewed the following:
(1)
IE Information Notice No. 82-09, " Cracking in Piping of Makeup Coolant Lines at B&W Plants," March 31, 1982.
I (2) LER 82-09, April 6,1982 (24-hour report).

g.
(0 pen)(80-24-01) Item of Noncompliance:
Failure to Audit Conformance to Technical Specifications The inspector reviewed the following:
(1)
Quality Control Instruction (QCI) No. 2, "SMUD Nuclear Operations Quality Assurance Audit Program," Revision 14, December 16, 1981.
(2)
Quality Element Checklist Management Safety' Review Committee (MSRC) No. 16 (Environmental Monitoring Program Audit Checklists), Revision 4, June 16,1980.
(3) MSRC No. 35, (Operational QA Program Audit Checklists).
(4) Quality Assurance Procedure (QAP) No.19, " System Auditing,"
Revision 7, September 1, 1981.
,.
.
-5-(5) Audit No. 0-420,. November 2-9, 1981.
(6) Audit No. 0-419, October 5-22, 1981.
(7) Audit No. 0-383, May 1-9,1981.
<
(8) Audit No. 0-378, May 6, 1981.
(9) Audit No. 0-434, December 28, 1981.
Based on this review and discussion with licensee personnel, the inspector noted the following:
(1) The licensee had performed the required audits of facility activites in conformance with Facility Technical Specification 6.5.2.8.a during 1981.
(2)
Procedure QAP 19, which defines the Quality Assurance Audit Program, is in conflict with paragraph 6.5.2.8.a of the Facility Technical Specifications.
Paragraph 2 of QAP 19, titled " Operational Quality Assurance Audits,"
states that audits of selected operational phase activi-ties will make up the audit program to assure conformance of facility operations to all provisions contained within the Technical Specifications."
Facility Technical Specification 6.5.2.8.a requires that all provisions in the technical specifications be audited, not " selected" activities.
The licensee's representative acknowledged the conflict with Procedure QAP-19 and the Technical Specification and committed to have QAP-19 revised to be in conformance with paragraph 6.5.2.8.a.
Accordingly, only verification that Procedure QAP-19 has been modified to be in conformance with paragraph 6.5.2.8.a of the
Technical Specification is all that is needed to close out this infraction.
h.
(Closed)(80-2741) Follow-up Item:
Environmental Qualification Documentation not included with the Equipment Purchase Order Documentation Maintained by the Quality Assurance Department.
The inspector determined that the environmental qualification documentation for the transformer installed under ECN No. A-2726, 50.59 Facility Change No.167, was included with the purchase order documentation. This item is closed.
During the review of the environmental qualification documen-tation for ECN No. A-2726, the inspector identified the following:
- -- -
. - _
-
.._
.
.
.
s
.
.
-6-(1) BID Request No.1941, paragraph 9.02A, specified the following technical specification for the subject trans-former, "...shall be designed to function at rated output in ambient temperatures ranging from 20 degrees F to 130 degrees F..."
(2) The plant modification change was completed as of April 29, 1980, as indicated on the 50.59 Facility Change No.167.
(3) The environmental qualification report supplied by the vendor indicated that the transformer is qualified in accordance with the principles of IEEE Standard 323-1974 1E application, but was designed for a maximum ambient operating temperature of only 40 degrees C/104 degree F vice the 130 degrees F requested in the BID request.
This report, dated April 11, 1980, was attached to a letter dated May 5,1980.
The inspector discussed this matter with the licensee and it appears that the 50.59 change review by the PRC was inadequate, in that no analysis was done to justify the acceptance of the installed transformer with a design maximum ambient operating temperature of 104 degrees F, when a 130 degree F temperature was designed in the BIO proposal technical specifications.
The licensee agreed to look into this matter and determined the basis for the 130 degree F maximum ambient temperature specified in BID Request No. 1941.
This is an unresolved item and will be followed up at a subsequent inspection (82-22-01).
1.
(0 pen)(80-31-01) Follow-up Item:
Preventive Maintenance Program Procedure Inadequate The inspector reviewed Administrative Procedure AP-650, Revision 1, April 30,1982, " Preventive Maintenance Program."
Based on this review, the inspector determined that program responsibilities have been adequately assigned to individuals in the maintenance departments in this revision to AP-650.
Auditing conformance to this procedure will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.
j.
(0 pen)(80-31-02) Follow-up Item:
No Audit for Conformance with Special Processes The inspector reviewed the following:
(1) Quality Element Checklist MSRC No. 40 Special Processes.
(2) Quality Assurance Procedure No. 9.

Based on this review and discussion with licensee personnel, the inspector determined that the licensee has initiated a program for auditing conformance of special processes.
The inspector also noted that Quality Control Instructions (QCI)
101,106,111,112, and 114 are not covered in checklist MSRC No. 40 and no requirement for auditing conformance with these documents exists. The licensee was advised of this finding and agreed to look into the matter. This matter will be followed up at a subsequent inspection.
k.
(0 pen)(80-31-03) Follow-Up Item:
Housekeeping Controls Inconsistent with ANSI Standard The inspector reviewed the following:
(1) Administrative Procedure AP-35, " Tools and Equipment Control," Revision 0, February 28, 1977.
(2) Maintenance Instruction M.114, " Maintenance Cleanliness Control," Revision 5, April 24,1978.
(3) Quality Assurance Procedure QAP-23, " Housekeeping,"
Revision 2, October 6,1980.
(4) Audit No. 0-452 (MSRC No. 37), " Cleanliness," March 29, 1982.
(5) Audit No. 0-376 (MSRC No. 37), " Cleanliness," April 28, 1981.
Based on this review and discussion with licensee personnel, the inspector noted the following:
(1) Definitions of cleanliness areas in Instructions M.114 and QAP-23 do not address the cleanliness requirements for housekeeping activities established by the zone designations stated in paragraph 2.1 of ANSI N45.2.3-1973.
(2) No requirement exists in the above instructions for maintaining a record of the entry and exit of personnel into the cleanliness zones / areas as required by ANSI N45. 2. 3-1973 for Zones 1, 2 and 3.
(3) Procedure M.114 states the following in paragraph 3.1,
"This procedure shall be used when opening any portion of the following systems:
However, no definitive instructions are contained in Instruction M.114 which would designate the degree of cleanliness to be maintained in each of the above systems / areas.
_... _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. _.. _ _ _.
_._________J
.
.
-8-(4) The definition in Enclosure 7.3, instruction M.114, does not meet the requirements of Class B cleanliness described in ANSI N45.2.1.
(5) The findings contained in Audit No. 0-452 states that,
"It is common for the details of cleanliness precautions for a particular job to be established verbally..."
This procedure conflicts with the intent of ANSI 45.2.1 and ANSI 45.2.3.
In response to the above concerns, the licensee agreed to revise Instructions M.114, AP-35, and QAP-23 to meet the requirements of ANSI 45.2.1 and ANSI 45.2.3.
This is an unresolved item and will be followed up at a subsequent inspection.
