Organization and Administration This inspection was to detennine whether changes made to the licensee's onsite organization are in conformance with the requirements of the Technical Specifications and the licensee's use of overtime is in conformance with regulatory requirements.
The licensee is presently in the transition period of a major reorganization. The last organization changes were approved in Technical Specification Amendment 82 for Unit 1 and Amendment 52 for Unit 2, both dated February 1, 1984. The NRC inspector reviewed the requests for Technical Specification changes submitted in December 1985, to support the latest reorganization. These requests have been noticed to the federal register, they have been signed but had not been mailed at the time of this inspection.
Proposed membership changes in the plant safety committee and the safety review comittee will not be implemented until the approved Technical Specification amendments are received. Most of the new positions created
,
by the reorganization have been filled. This was accomplished by internal promotion or reassignment, with the exception of the position of General Manager, Operations and Maintenance which was filled by a new hire. The NRC inspector reviewed the qualifications and experience of the individual selected for this position, and found that they meet and exceed the regulatory requirements. The NRC inspector also confirmed that the licensee's personnel department holds documentation validating the qualifications and experienc V.... -
-4-The NRC inspector reviewed procedure 1015.01, " Conduct of Operations,"
Revision 25, dated June 3,1986, and "ANO Overtime Policy," Revision 2, dated February 1, 1984. The policy document provides the form for documenting overtime deviations. A review of some recently completed forms confirmed that the intent of overtime control is being met.
No violations or deviations were identified.
3.
Tests and Experiments Program This inspection was to determine that the licensee is implementing a program to control tests and experiments that is in conformance with regulatory requirements.
It was found that the licensee does not have a specific procedure to control tests and experiments. The NRC inspector determined that the program is contained in the following procedures:
1000.04, " Procedural Program Requirements," Revision 20, dated December 18, 1985.
- 1000.06, " Procedure Review, Approval, and Revision Control,"
Revision 22, dated December 12, 1985.
- 1000.02, " Plant Safety Committee (PSC) Operation," Revision 8, dated June 18, 1985.
- 1000.08, "NRC Reporting and Communications," Revision 20, dated November 15, 1984.
The review of these procedures verified that a method has been established to identify tests and experiments involving safety-related components, systems or structures, or modes of operation different from those described in the FSAR; provisions have been made to assure that tests and experiments will be performed in accordance with approved written procedures; responsibilities have been assigned for reviewing and approving test and experimental procedures; a system has been established to assure that all proposed tests and experiments will be reviewed to determine whether they are described in the FSAR; responsibilities have been assigned to assure that a written safety evaluation pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59 will be developed for each test or experiment not described in the FSAR to assure that it does not involve an unreviewed safety question or a change in the Technical Specifications; responsibility has been assigned.to assure that all tests and experiments conducted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59 will be formally reported to the NRC in a timely manner.
The NRC inspector requested a copy of the last report submitted in compliance with 10 CFR 50.59(b). A licensee representative informed the NRC inspector that the last report was submitted in December 1984, and covered activities through 1983 only. The licensee is presently preparing

-5-a report that will cover activities for the years 1984 and 1985. Failure to submit an annual report as required by 10 CFR 50.59(b) is an apparent violation.
(313/8618-01;368/8619-01)
During the procedure review, the NRC inspector identified specific deficiencies in procedure 1000.06. This procedure provided forms for the user in determining whether or not a safety evaluation would be required and in determination of unreviewed safety questions.
The specific deficiencies identified were:
d.
Forms 1000.06B and 1000.6C stated, in part, " involves a change to a test or experiment not described in the FSAR." A more appropriate statement that addresses the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59 would be
" involves a test or experiment not described in the FSAR."
b.
Question 2 on Form 1000.06E stated, in part, "would the proposed procedure change increase the consequences of an accident analyzed in the FSAR?" A more accurate statement that address the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59 would be "would the proposed procedure or change increase the consequences of an accident analyzed in the FSAR?"
4.
Surveillance Testing and Calibration Control Program This inspection was to determine that the licensee has programs for control and evaluation of surveillance testing, calibration, and inspection required by the Technical Specifications; inservice inspection and testing of pumps and valves as required by 10 CFR 50.55a(g); and, calibration of safety-related instrumentation not specifically controlled by Technical Specifications.
The NRC inspector reviewed the following licensee procedures:
Procedure 1000.09, " Surveillance Test Program Control," Revision 14, dated August 30, 1985.
Procedure 1000.14, " Control of M&TE and Standards," Revision 8, dated February 27, 1986.
Procedure 1022.06, "ASME Code Section XI Inservice Testing Program Unit 1," Revision 6, dated April 17, 1986.
Procedure 1022.07, "ASME Code Section XI Inservice Testing Program Unit 2," Revision 2, dated April 17, 1986.
Procedure 1032.07, "lSI Program Requirements," Revision 5, dated August 1, 198.. -

' '
February 27, 1986.
Procedure 1035.06, "AN0 Master M&TE List," Revision 6, ' dated
'
February 27, 1986.
This review determined that the. licensee's surveillance testing and calibration control program incorporated the following elements:
A master schedule for surveillance testing, calibration, and.
inservice testing and inspection. This schedule includes frequency, responsibility,'and status.
,
Responsibility for master schedule updates.
Formal requirements for conduct of tesks, calibrations, and inspections in accordance with approved procedures which include acceptance criteria.
Methods and responsibilities for review and evaluation of test, calibration and inspection data and for dispositioning deficiencies, malfunctions, etc. Verification is made and documented that LC0 requirements are satisfied.
Responsibility is assigned to assure schedules are satisfied.
Provisions for updating the master schedule to reflect Technical Specification or license revisions.
Calibration of safety-related components not identified in Technical Specifications are included in the surveillance test master schedule.
During this review, the NRC inspector noted several deficiencies in these procedures that could lead to misinterpretation, missed inservice testing and/or inservice inspection requirements. Specific deficiencies are:
a.
The last sentence of paragraph 6.2.2 of procedure 1000.09 is grammatically incorrect and should be deleted. This error could cause the responsibilities for scheduling surveillance testing to be
.
misinterpreted. The correct wording is already contained in paragraph 6.2.3.
It was also noted that paragraph 6.2.6 and 6.2.8 referred to nonexistent procedures.
b.
The following reproduction errors in procedure 1022.06 should be corrected and the missing page of components incorporated.
In Attachment 2 of the procedure, pages 23 and 24 are the same except
.page 23 is Revision 6 and page 24 is Revision 5.
The correct revision of page 24 is missing. These changes are needed to ensure that all required components are identified in the inservice inspection program.

-7-c.
Procedure 1032.07 should be corrected to include reference to both procedures 1022.06 (Unit 1) and 1022.07 (Unit 2).
Paragraphs 2.0, 3.0, and 3.3 of 1032.07 currently refer only to procedure 1022.06.
These deficiencies along with those discussed in paragraph 3 of this report indicate a degradation in the quality of the procedure review and approval program for ANO.
Failure to ensure that documents / procedures, including changes, are adequately reviewed for adequacy in accordance with established AN0 procedures is a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V.
