IE Bulletin Followup The inspector reviewed the licensee's followup actions regarding the IE Bulletins listed below:

--

IEB 78-05, " Malfunctioning of Circuit Breaker Auxiliary Con-tact Mechanism - General Electric Model CR105X." April 14, 1978

--

IEB 78-06, " Defective Cutler-Hammer Type M Relays with D. C.

Coils." May 31,1978 IEB 78-10, "Bergen-Paterson Hydraulic Shock Suppressor Accumu-

--

lator Spring Coils." June 27,1978 The review included discu2sions with licensee personnel, revww of selected facility records, and observation of selected facility equipment and components.

With respect to the above Bulletins, the inspector verified that licensee management forwarded copies of the bulletin response to appropriate onsite management representatives that information and corrective action discussed in the reply was accurate and effective as described, and that the reply was submitted within the time period described in the bulletins.

Acceptance criteria for the above review included inspector judgement and requirements of applicable Technical Specifications and facility procedures.

No items of noncompliance were identified concerning licensee follow-up on the above Bulletin.

Plant Tour Upon arrival at the site on November 6,1978, the inspector pro-ceeded directly to the Control Room to observe plant operations during off normal hours.

Control Room manning and Control Board monitoring instrumentation and equipment controls were observed for conformance with applicable Technical Specification require-ments. The inspector then conducted a tour of the turbine building to check for general cleanliness, housekeeping conditions and potential fire hazards.

At various times during November 6-9, 1978, the inspector con-ducted tours of the following accessible plant areas.

Radiation controls established by the licensee, including

--

posting of radiation areas, the condition of step-off pads and the disposal of protective clothing were observed.

Radia-tion Work Pennit R-78-6 used for entry to radiation areas was reviewed.

,

--

Plant housekeeping conditions, including general cleanliness conditions and storage of material and components to prevent safety and fire hazards, were observed.

,

.

.

,

Systems and equipment in all areas toured were observed

--

for the existence of fluid leaks and abnormal piping vibra-tions.

The indicated positions of electrical power supply breakers,

--

control board equipment start switches, and control board remote-operated valves and the actual positions of selected manual-operated valves were observed.

The Control Board was observed for annunciators that normally

--

should not be lighted during the existing plant conditions.

The reasons for the lighted annunciators were described by a Control Room Operator.

The licensee's policy and practice regarding plant tours

--

were reviewed. There were no changes in this area since the previous inspection.

--

Control Room manning was observed on several occasions during the inspection.

Acceptance criteria for the above items included inspector judge-ment and requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(k), Regulatory Guide 1.114, applicable Technical Specifications and the following procedures.
