Equipment Storage and Protection a.
General The inspector reviewed the following documents related to the licensee's program for equipment storage and protection:
ANSI N45.2.2-1972, " Packaging, Shipping, Receiving, Storage and
--
Handling of Items for Nuclear Power Plants."
CSI 4.6, " Storage of Pemanent Plant Equipment," Revision 5.

storage and protection.
Various Equipment Storage History Cards and Interim Operating
--
Instructions, The inspector toured accessible areas of the facility, interviewed
'
personnel associated with the program and reviewed-inspection results and corrective actions taken as a result of identified discrepancies.
l Various areas of the program which were reviewed for adequacy include:
program scope, procedures and instructions, use of proper tools and
.
equipment, proper marking of components, warehouse receiving and storage, disposition of. nonconforming items, insoections of equipment, i
temporary heating and other environmental protections, records, QC

surveillance, QA audits, and continuity of program as equipment changes location and jurisdiction from construction to startup to

b.
Personnel Oualification and Identification
,
Paragraph 2.4 of ANSI N45.2.2 requires'.that personnel performing inspections be qualified in accordance with ANSI N45.2.6, while Para-graph 6.4.1 requires that inspections of equipment be performed on a periodic basis. Paragraph 4.2 of implementing procedure CSI 4.6 states that-"The designated UNICO department shall periodically in-spect and maintain equipment in storage". The inspector noted that:
control of items in storage discussed in paragraph 6.4 of ANSI N45.2.2 is performed in accordance with equipment storage history cards (SHC's)
by S&W construction personnel, who are not qualified per N45.2.6; and, some random inspections of equipment were performed by S&W Field QC.
personnel, who are qualified to N45.2.6, but this is done without the benefit or guidance of appropriate instructions which address valid sampling plans, etc. The inspector stated that this approach fails to provide planned and systemmatic actions by personnel qualified in accordance with ANSI N45.2.6 to ensure that the requirements of ANSI N45.2.2 are filled with respect to stored equipment. This is an i
example of an item of noncompliance (322/79-16-01).
'
Paragraph 2.3 of N45.2.2 requires that the identity of inspectors be documented..The inspector noted that the identity of operators instal-4-
ling the daily and weekly surveillances called out by equipment 10I's was not clear. The licensee generated a formal list of all operations department personnel with signatures and initials, which provides a clear identification of each operator.
,
c.
Storage location
,
Paragraph 6.6 of N45.2.2 requires that records include the storage
,
location. The inspector noted that the licensee's program has no formal mechanism for documenting location changes either in the ware-house or from the warehouse to a permanent inplant location.
As an example, on October 4,1979, valves 1821*A0V081A and B were not on rack 023 of the warehouse as specified on the SHC's.
This is another example of noncompliance (322/79-16-01).
d.
Cleanness Paragraph 6.4.1 of N45.2.2 requires that periodic inspections be t
performed and documented to assure, among other characteristics, adequate cleanness. The periodic inspections performed per the SHC's do not specify a cleanness check.
Furthermore, the inspector noted on
,
l tours conducted between October 3 and October 11, 1979, that many l
Category I components were not maintained with adequate cleanness.
Discrepancies noted included accumulations of dust, dirt, grease, l

trash, and broken glass.
Some of the affected components were:
Standby LiquidLControl Pumps and Moto'rs, High Pressure Coolant Injection
,
Pump and Turbine, Reactor Core. Isolation Cooling Pump.and Turbine, and the Battery Room..This is an example of noncompliance (322/79-16-01).
~
The inspector also noted cleanness discrepancies on Category 2 and 3 equipment including the Control Rod Drive. Pumps and Condensate Booster Pumps. The licensee's representative acknowledged these comments.
e.
Equipment Openings Paragraph 6.4.2(1) of N45.2.2 requires that all covers, caps, plugs or other closures removed for internal access for any reason be immediately replaced after completion of the purpose for removal. During tours conducted throughout the inspection,~ the inspector noted that covers were removed and not immedately replaced on various pieces of Category I equipment; including:
the Standby Liquid Control Pumps, Reactor Core Isolation Cooling Pump equipment, 2 valves in the warehouse, Category I instruments in panels 1H21*PNL018 and 021, and the three diesel engine air start compressors. This is an example of noncompiiance (322/79-16-01).
,
(
The inspector also noted openings uncapped on various Category II and
'
III components, including: Reactor Feed Pump Turbine, Condensate Booster Pumps, and Control Rod Drive Pumps.
f.
Space Heaters Paragraph 6.4.2(5) of N45.2.2 requires that space heaters enclosed in electrical items be energized. The inspector noted that licensee appeared to have a very effective program for maintaining temporary
,
heat on electric motors and generators, which included daily surveillance checks of each component. During a tour of instrument panels on October 16, 1979, the inspector noted that Panels 1H21*PNL10 and 26 had their space heaters de-energized. This is an item of noncompliance (322/79-16-01).
g..
Tapes and Adhesives Paragraph A3.5.2(3) of N45.2.2 recommends that tapes used for. closures and coverings be brightly colored to preclude their loss into a system.
The inspector noted that tapes in use were not brightly colored. The licensee acknowledged this and stated that this aspect of equipment protection would be reviewed. This is designated as inspector follow item (322/79-16-02).

Perfonnance of Inspections The. inspector noted that no periodic inspections of the Category 2 condensate booster pumps had been performed since their turnover from construction to startup over a year ago. The licensee's representative stated that this area would be reviewed for adequacy.
5.
Fire Stops The inspector reviewed FSAR Section 9.5.1, Fire Protection System, and Shoreham Specification SH1-459 " Cable and Mechanical Penetration Fire Stops and Seals."'- This specification details the' fire stops to be installed in floors, walls and ceilings.of fire barrier walls to ensure the fire j
barrier is maintained. All walls and barriers must have a minimum three hour fire resistance _ rating. During pant tours, the inspector observed temporary fire stops installed in the turbine lube room floor penetrations for use while conducting lube oil system flushes. The inspector also noted that the normal fire protection system and temporary fire extinguishers were available in the lube oil flush areas. With the exception of the below item, the inspector had no further questions in this area.
Paragraph 9.5.1.1.2.d of the Shoreham FSAR states that the wall between the auxiliary and reactor recirculating pump motor MG set room is a three hour i
resistance fire barrier. Specification SH1-459, however, does not include this wall as one to be sealed with fire stops at all penetrations. The licensee's representative stated that the specification would be revised to include the wall and that the specification would be reviewed to ensure that all other applicable requirements are included. This item is unresolved andisdesignateditemno.(322/79-16-03), pending review and revision of Specification SH1-459.
6.
Part 21 Report In a report to the NRC dated October 19, 1979, the Fair Company reported that leak testing of their. carbon cells supplied to various nuclear power plants had been invalidated by faulty test equipment.
Several of these cells had been supplied to Shoreham NPS for use in various ventilation system filter banks. - The licensee is planning to leak test all carbon-cells in the plant after installation per the requirements of Specification SH1-105. This will establish the leak tight integrity of both the cells and the entire cell banks.
[
The. inspector had no further questions in this area at this time.
