Plant Status
,
The reactor was operating at 93% FP when-the inspectors arrived on July 21, 1975. During the period of the inspection, the reactor tripped (7/23/75). The reactor tripped while making adjustments to the level controller in the feed heater. The adjustments caused the ferd heater drain tank to have a low level, resulting in an automatic tripping of the heater drain pump and closing of drain tank cutlet valve. This loss of heater drains caused a feed pump to trip and a turbine run back. The turbine run back caused a primary pressure increase due to the lag of the reactor power behind the reduction in steam load. The operator opened the primary pressurizer spray valves and the resulting low pressure in the primary caused a variable low pressure trip. The reactor was then operated between hot shu'i.own a
and hot standby conditions for operator training while maintenance was being performed on the feedwater heater.

(2) Log sheet and logbook reviews are being conducted as
. required by the staff.
(3) Operating or standing or'ders to the operating shift do not conflict with the Technical Specifications (TS).
(4) The jumper and bypass log was in order and did not conflict with TS requirements or limiting conditions for operations (LCO).
I (5) No items of noncompliance were identified in the review (?
'
the Equipment Trouble Reports.
B.-
A plant tour of accessible areas was conducted and the following observations-were made:
(1) Plant process parameters were being monitored and recorded as required and were within TS requirements.
(2) Several safety related reactor control room annunciators
',
in the alarm condition were examined and, through discussion with the operators, were determined to present no deviation from the TS requirements.
- a (3) The number of control room personnel on duty met the TS
,
requirements.
i
(4) Radiatic a controls were properly established.
(5) Plant housekeeping conditions were in good order.
'
t-(5) During the plant tour, no significant fluid leaks, piping vibrations, nor inappropriate settings, etc., on pipe hangers or seismic restraints were noted.
.

Fire Stop Inspection
.
.
The final report from Bechtel Power Corporation relating to the design and construction evaluation of fire stops at ANO-1 is not completed.
The licensee could not produce reviewed changes for deviations to the
"as installed" plant fire stop drawings 1/.The licensee was notified that this item will be handled as an item of noncompliance (infraction).
6.
Quality Assurance Program The Quality Assurance Manual for operations was approved by the Quality Assurance Branch, Division of Beactor Licensing, on May 12, 1975 and the manual was distributed July ll, 1975.
.
The purpose of the quality assurance inspection wa's to evaluate selective criterion of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, and determine implementation of the Quality Assurance Manual for operation. Quality Assurance Organization, Quality Assurance Training, Procurement, and Auditing were
<
reviewed during this inspection.
Organizational lines of responsibility were reviewed for independence of responsibility and actions.
Procurement was reviewed and three items were selected that were being stored in the Q warehouse. The procurement documents were reviewed for
\\s_,
proper approval.
Items in the hold area were reviewed for segregation
-
and identification.
Selective audits conducted by the quality assurance organization were
reviewed. A total of 68 audits have been conducted since the plant was licensed in April 1974. Fifteen of these audits were reviewed for identification of problems and corrective actions taken. The inspector had no additional questions in the quality assurance area reviewed
,
except for the training of operational personnel in the quality assurance. This item is discuss 2d in paragraph 7.

]
Activitieg
&
Training of operational personnel has been completed in part and a program and schedule for training of all ' personnel has been promulgated.
This training is scheduled to be accomplished in the third quarter of

Maintenance Activities e
The inspector reviewed quality assurance records to verify that
-
maintenance was accomplished by qualified and trained personnel.
This review consisted of a review of the maintenance technician's
'
- training records.
A review was also conducted on quality records such as radiographs, welder qualification, weld filler material control, and drawing
,
. controls associated with the repairs to t,he core spray pump suction line which had hair line cracks in the pipe. This problem was
>
.
-previously documented by inspection report 74-14, item 7.
The
inspector had no additional questions in this area.
In reviewing the training records of the maintenance technicians, the inspector determined that a schedule and program did not exist
,
as required by ANSI 18.1, paragraph 5.1, which states in part that
,
i a training program and schedule shall be established for each nuclear power plant to initially develop and maintain an organization fully qualified to be responsible for operation, maintenance and technical
,
aspects of the nuclear power plant involved. Technical Specification paragraph 6.3, states in part that minimum qualifications, training, replacement training, and retraining of plant personnel shall be in i-accordance with that stated in the Standard for Selection and Training (
of Personnel.for Nuclear Power Plants, ANSI 18.1 - 1971.
