l (1) Audit date - November 11, 1973 (2) Areas audited - Sections 5 and 6 of the SUM: ins t rumenta tion i

inspection and calibration, and initial equipment operation.

I e.

A report of corrective actions dated October 4, 1974, closed out i

or gave status of deficiencies identified in audit reports SU QA-1 I

s and SU QA-2.

!

CP&L stated that an audit of preoperational testing procedures was performed during January 1974.

Ihis report was not available at the I

site. The above audit reports included copies of the checklists used

!

to perform the audits and specific audit findings.

!

l There was no documentation to show that appropriate corrective action i

or reaudit of deficiencies identified in audit reports SU QA-3 and l

SU QA-4 had been performed.

CP&L stated that appropriate corrective action l

had been taken and informal reaudit had been done. The inspector

!

reviewed initial equipment operation packages for the Residual Heat

.i Removal, Core Spray, and the Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water i

Systems to deter =ine if certain deficiencies had, in fact, been

'

corrected. No deficiencies were noted.

I Failure to document causes of conditions and corrective action taken f

to correct significant conditions adverse to quality is contrary to

Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50.

,

!

Except for failure to document causes of conditions and corrective

action taken to correct significant conditions adverse to quality, no i

other deficiencies were identified.

i 3.

Administrative Procedures

!

i

,

Volume I of the Operating Manual, " Administrative Proce.dures" was

!

reviewed by the inspector. The purpose of the review was to determine I

if FSAR commitments made in paragraph A of the response to consent D.10 had been met.

In addition, certain administrative procedures

!

vere reviewed to deter =ine if they conformed to or were equivalent to j

guidance provided to ANSI N18.7, " Administrative Controls for Nuclear.

Power Plants." The following deficiencies were identified:

j a.

!

Certain authorities and responsibilities for safe operation and a.

shutdown of the plant identified in paragraph 5.1.1 of ANSI N18.7 i

are not delineated in writing.

Total Main Steam Loop Flush Procedure, F1-A

-

e As originally scheduled, the reactor vessel hydro was to be performed j

prior to and as a prerequisite to the total main steam loop flush

!

procedure. As a result of plant conditions, it was decided to_

{

perform the flush prior to the hydro. At'that time, the flush procedure

!

had been reviewed and comments had been submitted and incorporated in that procedure, but it had not received final approval. The test engineer deleted the reactor vessel hydro as a prerequisite in the

!

flush procedure without adding other appropriate prerequisites made j

necessary by the schedule change. When this procedure was then j

submitted for final approval, it was approved by all responsible.

l persons without detecting this omission. The inspector expressed

!

concern that persons approving procedures apparently do not have the

{

-

means available to determine if review comments have been appropriately

,

incorporated or if other changes have been made to procedures between the time of initial review and resubmittal for final approval. CP6L stated that in the future procedure review comment sheets and the original procedure draft will be attached to corrected draft procedures submitted for approval. This will permit persons approving procedures.

>

to readily review changes made to draft procedures. The inspector l

stated he had no further questions.

,

Westinghouse NSD Technical Bulletin No. ESD-TB-26 which identifies problems associated with W-2 control switches was discussed with t

CP&L.

CP&L told the inspector that no Westinghouse W-2 control switches

are being used at the Brunswick facility.

i 6.

Training Program

i Implementation of the training program described in Section 13.2 l

i of the FSAR was reviewed by the inspector. Certain training records

!

werc spct checked to determine if training commitments described in

,

!

the FSAR are being met. Retraining and replacement training programs

{

are in the developmental stages.

CP&L stated that general employee j

training in plant security and quality assurance is planned and that i

all persons employed at the plant will be trained in radiation i

protection. No deficiencies were noted.

'

!

7.

Preoperational Test PO-78, "DC Electrical Systems" l

Revision 1 to PO-78 was reviewed by the inspector to determine if

'

testing of the ground detection system was included. No deficiencies i

were identified. Unresolved item 73-12/3 is closed.

8.

RO Bulletin 73-6

!

.

CP&L stated that a copy of RO Bulletin 73-6 has been circulated to all members of the Plant Nuclear Safety Committee (PNSC). The PNSC

!

has been instructed to assure that plant procedures conform to RO Bulletin 73-6 as they are written. This item will remain open

)

pending the inspector's review of these procedures.
