Previous Inspection Finding Update (0 pen)UnresolvedItem(322/78-13-01):
Beach Accumulation:
The inspector reviewed the specific requirements of Construction Permit CPPR-95; the Fall,1978 survey drawings; and, the condition of erosion / accumulation on the site beaches.
The inspector noted that the condition of the beaches and Wading River appeared acceptable, but also noted that evaluations of the surveys performed in 1978 and 1979 were not completed.
The inspector stated that, without the survey evaluations or conclusions, compliance with the construction pennit requirement to monitor the beach could not be demonstrated.
This item remains unresolved pending review of licensee actions to improve the timeliness of their evaluations of beach survey result.
(0 pen) Item of Noncompliance (322/79-16-01): At various times during the past month the inspector noted additional openings on safety related equip-ment which were not immediately covered after use.
This item remains open pending the licensee's response and implementation of corrective action.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (322/79-16-03):
Fire Walls: The inspector reviewed a memorandum dated December 13, 1979 from C. Fonseca to J. Kelly which detailed the review of specification SH1-459 for Fire Stops and Seals relative to the FSAR and Fire Hazard Analysis Report requirements.
The review of SH1-459 found two discrepancies in addition to the one identified in this unresolved item.
All three changes are being incorporated into the specification in accordance with the project schedule.
This item is closed.
(Closed)UnresolvedItem(322/79-05-01): The inspector reviewed Revision 10 to the Startup Manual which constituted the first complete review and update, where necessary, of the Manual.
Additionally, a memo from J.
Taylor to T. F. Gerecke, dated May 29, 1979, establishes a six month review cycle for the complete Manual.
This item is closed.

4.
Preoperational Quality Assurance a.
Surveillance Activities The inspector reviewed QAP-S-18.2, " Site 0QA Surveillance Procedure (General)," Revision 1; selected Surveillance Plans; and, several completed Surveillances and Verification Reports in order to determine that surveillances of quality related activities were being performed on a regular basis in accordance with approved procedures and schedules.
The inspector also witnessed the performance of tests in progress and observed Quality Assurance (QA)/ Quality Control (QC) participation in these tests via the use of procedural QA hold points and QC Surveillance Plans.
b.
Deficiency Control The inspector reviewed pertinent sections of the plant Startup Manual (SUM), Procedure QAI-15.1-01, " Station 0QA Deficiency Control During C&IO and Preoperational Testing," Revision 2, and selected LILC0 Deficiency Reports (LDR's).
During Checkout and Initial Operation (C&IO) testing of the SUM (P. 29) allows minor deficiencies to be tracked on the C&IO data sheets.
Major deficiencies would be handled via an LDR or Engineering and Design Coordination Report (E&DCR).
During Preoperational Testing, the SUM (P. 8-18) states that out of specification items will be flagged in the Test Engineers test report.-
These items would then be reviewed by the Joint Test Group (JTG).
Other items, such as those identified during system turnover from construction, will be listed on the Master Punch List.
!
.
.
Procedure QAI-15.1-01 recommends that an LDR be written for any deficient condition which is identified.
The method currently being used does not always use an LDR as described above.
This item is considered unresolved pending revision of the procedure (Item No. 322/79-23-01).
At the completion of preoperational testing the 0QA staff reviews the system turnover packages prior to JTG approval, using a standard audit checklist.
The inspector noted that the audit checklist did not have a step to review all exceptions and deficiencies from the various sources and verify that they were either resolved or highlighted for JTG consideration.
The licensee's representative stated that such a step would be added.
This item will be reviewed again and is designated as inspector follow item (322/79-23-02).
c.
Maintenance The inspector reviewed the pertinent sections of the Startup Manual (SUM), Procedure QAI-10.4-01, " Station 0QA Repair / Rework Request Control Prior to Plant Operation," Revision 0, and the files of active and completed Repair / Rework Requests.
The inspector also toured the plant to determine if any unauthorized maintenance was taking place on released components.
None was identified.
0QA observes maintenance work in progress using a Surveillance Plan for major items and a Verification Report for minor ones.
The inspector randomly selected several completed Repair / Rework Requests and reviewed the 0QA surveil-lance for the job. With the exception of some filing difficulties, which are currently being addressed, no discrepancies were identified.
Paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3 of Procedure QAI-10.4-01 discuss the initial review cycle for Repair / Rework Requests.
An appendix to the procedure contains a sample Repair / Rework Form.
The inspector noted that the procedure does not clearly reflect the current practice for assigning QA responsibility to a job and contains an outdated Form in the appendix.
This item is considered unresolved pending revision of the procedure and together with the item in Paragraph b above is designated (322/79-23-01).
d.
Training The inspector reviewed the following documents relating to the training of quality assurance inspectors and auditors:
Regulatory Guide 1.58-1973, " Qualification of Nuclear Power Plant
--
Inspection, Examination, and Testing Personnel."

5.
IE Bulletins a.
Containment Electrical Penetration Assemblies IE Bulletin 77-07 describes a situation where moisture accumulation in the penetration caused reduced insulation resistance and degraded performance.
Shoreham has established a program whereby construction personnel verify the penetrations are pressurized to approximately 30 psig and vendor recommendations.
The inspector reviewed the records of the weekly checks and toured the containment penetration area and noted that all penetrations appeared to be properly pressurized.
Procedures for use by the plant staff, when the penetrations are released by construction, have not been written yet, and will be reviewed at a later date.
6.
