Inspection Findings (1)
The inspector identif+ad one apparent item of noncom-pliance as a result or :he review of the Jumper Bypass Log. The inspector found that four log entries (12/3/77)
relating to the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) standpipe level detectors had not been cleared following completion of recent maintenance on RCP seals. The licensee took corrective action to close the open entries. The incident was apparently isolated as the log entries had been filed out of sequence. The failure to properly close out the entries is contrary to Plant Procedure 1005.04, Rev. 3 (7/28/77), " Control and Use of Bypass and Jumpers," Section 6.1.6.
The failure to iciplement and maintain compliance with a procedure designated in Section A.10 of Regulatory Guide 1.33 is' contrary to Section 6.8.1 of the Technical Specifications.
The licensee was informed that based on the corrective
,
j action taken, no reply to this item of noncompliance j
would be required.
(2)
The inspector did bring to the licensee's attention O
that there was an apparent imbalance.in pressure between the computer room and the spent fuel pool
room. Air flow through the adjoining door is into the computer room. The spent fuel room is designated
,
a radiation control access area.
(0 pen Item OI 7725-34)
-(3)
The inspector also cliscussed with the licensee the
corrosion of the carbon steel studs installed in stain-less steel valves which are subject to boric acid. This item is being reviewed by the licensee.
