.

The inspectors toured the diesel generator building, turbine generator area, reactor building, control room, HPCI room, RER and RCIC rooms of Units 1 and 2. Selected plant parameters displayed throughout the plant and in the control room were observed to be as required for plant conditions. Discussions were held with control room operators concerning lighted annunciator Housekeeping conditions in the RHR and HPCI rooms for Units 1 and 2 were observed to be in need of improvement. Rags, shoe covers, plastic bags, etc. had accumulated on the floors and in the sumps. Also, water was observed running down the wall of one RER pump room in both units. The plant manager stated that corrective action would be taken to clean up the areas of concer One broken snubber and two snubbers with low oil levels were identified by the inspectors. The broken snubber was repaired and the two snubbers with low oil levels were inspected and filled with oil prior to completion of the inspectio The inspectors observed an individual in the Unit 2 EPCI room on July 18, 1978, without the proper protective clothing as designated at the point of entry. Shoe covers, gloves and paper coveralls were required for inspection activities. The individual did not have on coveralls. Also, on July 18, 1978, three individuals were observed working in the Unit 2 feed pump room without wearing the proper protective clothing as poste Plastic shoe covers were required, and the workers were observed wading in water with paper shoe cover Technical Specification 6.8.1.a specifies that " written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering applicable procedures recommended in Appendix 'A' of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November,1972," in which, protective clothing is listed (Section G.S.d). Section 6.5,

-
 " Protective Clothing and Equipment," of the Radiation Protection and Control Manual (Volume VIII) states, in part, that " individuals entering a radiation control area must wear the proper clothing and devices necessary for contamination control, and the required posting of radiation control areas shall specify the minimum necessary protective clothing and equipment required for routine entry and inspection." Failure to comply with the posting and procedural requirements is an item of noncompliance and is classified as an infraction (78-17-01). Review of Logs and Operating Records The inspector reviewed the following logs and operating records to

Unit 1 Start-up Test Data Review Tid. inspector verified completion of Unit.1 Start-up Program Test No. 25

 " Main Steam Isolation Valve Full Closure" at TC 6. The inspector also verified documentation of Plant Nuclear Safety Committee review and Plant Manager acceptance of Start-up Program Test Plateaus. These items were outstanding from Inspection Report No. 77-11. These items are closed.

4 Snubber Surveillance

As a result of the plant tour, where three snubbers in Unit 1 were j identified as either inoperable or low in oil level, an inspector reviewed the pipe snubber surveillance procedures and records for Units 1 and 2, in regards to type and frequency of surveillance. It was

'

determined that the Unit 1 accessible snubbers visual surveillance test would be due on July 26, 1978. It was verified by telephone conversation with the plant manager, on July 27, that the inspection was begun prior to the due date. The results of this visual surveillance test will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection. The inspector suggested and the licensee agreed that the frequency interval stated in the snubber inspection

periodic test procedures be reviewed and updated to assure that periodic testing be accomplished at the required frequencie . Report Review The inspector performed an in-office review of the final Unit 1 Start-Up Program Test Report and Monthly Reports for Unit 1 and 2 for January ,

through June 1978 to determine that reporting requirements are being l me No problems in reporting were identified.
