Exit Interview The inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in paragraph 1)
at the conclusion of the inspection on November 17, 1978. The inspectors summarized the purpose and scope of the inspection and the findings.
With regard to the noncompliance item concerning corrective action on conditions adverse to quality, the inspector identified this item as an apparent item of noncompliance but did not indicate a caterory level. On November 29, 1978 by telephone the inspector informed the Acting Plant Manager that this was an item of noncompliance and had been catergorized as an infraction.
5.
Plant Operations The inspector reviewed a recent Technical Specification change concern-ing Torus to reactor building vacuum relief vent lines, to verify adequate implementation.
The affected operating equipmeat had been promptly realigned and appropriate plant procedure changes were properly made. The inspector suggested and the licensee agreed in future to accomplish procedure changes in a more timely manner. The inspector reviewed and discussed with operating and management personnel the arrangements of temporary equipment to process liquid radwaste. The inspector determined that the licensee had reviewed and evaluated the potential paths for liquid leakage and had taken certain preventative acasures. The inspector suggested and the licensee agreed that further considerations be given to increased locatione and frequencies of survey points for and of potential radwaste.iquid leakage paths associated with the temporary process setup.
The inspector discussed with plant manage. t the recent history of reactor coolant chemistry conductivity an both units and problems and corrective programs underway involving reactor water cleanup pumps and main turbine condenser leakage.
The inspector reviewed recent history of liquid leakage within Unit 1
} rimary containment and noted no unexplained adverse changes had cecurred.
Within the areas of plant operations noted above, no items of noncom-pliance or deviations were identified.
6.
IE Circular and Bulletin Follow Up The inspector reviewed the status of outstanding circulars and bulletins and reviewed the licensee actions. As a result of these reviews the following two circulars are considered closed item.'

Spent Fuel Storage Modification The inspector reviewed on a sample basis procurement and receipt inspection documents on new spent fuel racks to verify consistency with licensee comritments.
No items of noncompliance were identified.
8.
Plant Tour The inspectors toured various areas of the plant and yard to inspect general conditions.
Extensive modification work was observed in progress thoughout the plant concerning security systems and additions to fire detection and protection systems.
The diesel generator, radwaste, control room, and auxiliary heating boiler buildings of both units were toured.
In touring the outside yard area of plant the inspectors observed storage of spent fuel baskets in an unprotected manner.
Further investigations and discussion with licensee personnel, revealed the unprotected manner of storage had been identified by the plant Quality Assurance surveillance reports on three separate occasions, (January, Hay, and July 1978) but no response from plant occurred until August 15, 1978.
On September 23, 1978 a Corporate Quality Assurance audit report recognized that spent fuel baskets had not been protected in storage and that three separate plant QA reports cited this. The adverse conditions of storage continued until November 16, 1978 when licensee action moved the baskets indoors. The history which occurred indicates a failure to comply with regulatory and licensee requirements (Criterion XVI, Appendix B, 10 CFR 50; Section 11.2.11, Part 2 of Carolina Power and Light Corporate Quality Assurance Program; and purchase specification 952-028-216-1) to establish and carry out seasures to promptly and effectively correct conditions adverse to quality. This failure is an item of noncompliance and is classified as an inf raction (325/78-30-01, 324/78-30-01).
