System.

a.

Test Program Requirements and Implementatio_n The inspector reviewed the following overall preoperational and startup and test program requirements for implementation during testing of the SDS system.

(1) Test Program; (2) Test Organization; (3) Test Program Administration;

,

(4) Document Control; (5) Design Changes and Modifications; (6) Preventive Maintenance; (7) Equipment Protection and Cleanliness; (8) Test and Measurement Equipment; and, (9) Training.

Through document reviews, visual cbservations and discussions with startup and operations personnel, the inspector verified the implementation of the program requirements.

Implementation of requirements is a continuing process until completion of startup

,

testing. The inspector will followup on these areas on a subsequent

'

inspection.

Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings Scope Resulting from procedure reviews, discussions with licensee representatives and visual observations during inspection 81-04, thirteen items were identified by the inspector for additional evaluation and resolution.

The thirteen items were documented in inspection report No. 50-320/81-04, Paragraoh 4, items a. through m.

Resolution of these items is as follows.

Findings

-

The inspector verified by review, discussions and visual observations, the following actions taken by the licensee to resolve these items.

a.

Adequacy of piping support in some areas around the valve manifolds on the refueling floor.

Visual observation by the inspector verified adequate support

--

by means of. pipe supports and clamps on piping, valves and

~

instrun. at lines around valve manifolds on refueling floor.

b.

Adequacy of.ne number of area radiation monitors (fixed and/or portable) in the refueling area.

Inspector verified by HP procedures and visual observation

--

,

cf area monitors both fixed and portable, c.

Adequacy of communications between the SDS operation areas on the refueling floor and the Unit 2 Control Room.

.

Visual observation verified p;acement of phones on refueling

--

floor, both paging type as well as sound powered phones.

d.

Adequacy of emergency lighting for the refueling area.

--

Inspector verified by visual observation added emergency lights for SOS system operation as well as the installed emergency lighting system for the refueling floor.

e.

This item is adequately addressed in station procedures and

--

will also be addressed by Senior Resident Inspector in Inspection Report No. 50-320/81-10.

f.

Adequacy of procedures for handling emergencies and abnormal occurrences.

These listed emergencies are adequately addressed in station

--

,

procedures and in SDS operating procedures.

g.

Adequacy of high radiation sweeps of entire area when system is put into operation and periodically thereafter.

This item is adequately addressed in Radiological Controls

--

procedures.

h.

Adequacy of overpressure protection in the SOS system as well as the interrelated adjacent systems.

This item is adequately addressed in the SDS system description

--

and the technical evaluation report; and by recirculation line back to stand pipe sump at feed pump discharge.-

1.

Need for a central control point or control station for the SDS system operation.

The inspector verified the control station for the SOS

--

-

system will be the Unit 2 Control Room.

J.

Need for a designated person to be in charge at all times durfng function operation of the SDS system.

The inspector verified that an operator on the refueling

'

--

floor will be responsible for the operation of the system and the SR0 in Unit 2 Control Room is in charge of the j

complete evolution of processing water.

!

k.

Need for restrictions or strict control of movement of the overhead crane over the refueling pools during processing of water.

The inspector verified that 'no other evolutions will be

--

taking place when processing water the overhead crane will j

not be used for any other task than to transfer ion exchangers and will be done by procedures.

1.

Need for recording operations a.,J evolutions in a log on the re-fueling floor during processing of water.

,

l i

The inspector verified that data taking will be recorded on

--

l data sheets; notes, significant occurrences and evolutions j

m.

Need for flow charts and/or diagrams on the refueling. floor

during operation. Need for installation of valve position indicator at each reach rod penetration, at each of the valve manifolds on the refueling floor, so that valve position can be readily ascertained.

The inspector verified that flow path indication will be

--

provided at each manifold on the refueling floor.

The inspectors were assured that each valve in each manifold

--

will have a valve position indicator showing open or closed.

The licensee's representatives assured the inspectors that flow path indication and valve position indication will be completed on the valve manifolds prior to functional operation of the SDS system for the processing of water.

The senior resident inspector will followup on this item.

With the exception of followup on items e. and m.,

no discrepancies were noted, and the inspector. had no further questions.

4.

Plant Tours The inspectors toured the Auxiliary building, the refueling building and the SDS. system on the refueling floor.

The inspectors observed work in progress, housekeeping, cleanliness controls, storage and protection of components, piping and systems.

No items of noncompliance were identified and no discrepancies were noted.

5.

Exit Interview An exit meeting was conducted on June 10, 1981 with the licensee's senior site representatives (denoted in Paragraph 1).

The findings were identified and the inspection program was discussed.
