Operational Safety Verification (71707)
a.
Plant Tours The inspectors observed control room operations; reviewed applicable logs including the shift logs, night order book, clearance hold order book, configuration log and TACF log; conducted discussions with control room operators; verified that proper control room staffing was maintained; observed shift turnovers * and confirmed operability of instrumentation.
The nspectors verified the operability of selected emergency systems, and verified compliance with TS LC04.
The inspectors verified that maintenance work orders had been submitted as required and that followup activities and prioritization of work was accomplished by the licensee.
Tours of the diesel generator, auxiliary, control, and ;urbine buildings, and containment were conducted to observe plant equipment conditions,ibraHons and plant housekeeping / cleanliness conditions.
including potential fire hazards, fluid leaks and excessive v The inspectors walked down accessible purtions of the following safety-related systems on Unit 1 and Unit 2 to verify operability and proper valve alignment:
Auxiliary Feedwater System Residual Heal Removal System No violations or deviations were identified.
b.
Safeguards Inspection in the course of the weekly activities, the shift inspectors included a review of the licensee's physical security program.
The perfor-mance of various shif ts of the security force was observed in the conduct of daily activities including:
protected and vital area access controls; searching of personnel and packages; escorting of visitors; badge issuance and retrieval; and patrols and compensatory posts.
In addition, the inspectors observed rotected area lighting,ifiedpro-tected and vital area barrier integr ty.
The inspectors ver interfaces between the security organ lation and both operations and maintenance.
Specifically, the Shift Inspectors:
interviewed individuals with security concerns inspected s(curity during cutages reviewed licensee security event reports visited central or secondary alarm station verified protection of Safeguards Information verified onsite/offsite communication capabilities The inspector noted that a vital area door was open with a public safety officer posted at the door as a compensatory measure.

officer stated that the door was open because the ventilation system in the vital area had been out for approximately two months.
During
,
Unit I heatup, the area had become unbearable to work in with the
door closed.
The inspector was concerned that this ) articular door
'
being opened could allow easier unauthorized entry 'nto the vital
area.

'ventFollow-up(93702,62703)
.
At 1:43 p.m. on October 9,1988, personnel inside containment reported a i
steam leak in or near the #4 accumulator room.
Theplanthadjustbegun heating up from 270 degrees in the RCS to 316 degrees.
The SOS immediately ordered all personnel out of containment and began cooling back down to 275 degrees.
An AUD accompanied by a HP technician reentered containment to identify the source of the leak.
The leak was identified as Coming from valve 1-FCV-63-598, which had been tagged open, with a hose attached, to maintain a portion of the ECCS test header depressurized for valve leak testing (S1-166 series).
The AVO closed valve 1-FCV-63-598 ana the leak stopped.
The leakage path was later traced back from valve 1-FCV-63-598 to valve 1-FCV-63-97, an air operated valve in the test line on the RHR pump discharge line.
The RHR pumn was running in recirculation at the time of the event which aressurized the upstream side of valve 1-FCV-63-97.
Valve 1-FCV-63-97 aad been under repair for a stem rotation problem and tagged shut, with the repair work lef t ;ncomplete.
No personnel contamination resulted from this event, and the actions taken by

operators to stop the leak were prudent and timely.
Resolution of this item will be tracked as shift inspector item 88-46-PH-01.
No violations or deviations were identified.

Resolution of Previously Identified Mode Change Items (92703)
,
(Closed) 327,328/8844-01, Adequacy of Fire Protectiun Watches.
The inspector reviewed vital / protected area key card printouts of selected fire watch personnel for September 28, 1988.
1he inspector noted four items:
I a.
Certain routes had been walked simultaneously by two individuals l
required to walk separate routes.
{
b.
Certain routes had not been adequately covered.
'
One individual had not been inside the protected area for the entire c.
timeframe of one of his assigned routes.
d.
The times for all routes appeared to be of insufficient duration to survey the raquired areas.
Specifically, on September 28,1988, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. the required fire watch patrol was not performed and several breaches of fire barriers on this route were not checked.
TS 3.7.12 requires that all fire barrier penetrations (including cable
{
penetration barriers, firedoors and fire dampers) in fire zone boundaries J
protecting safety-related areas shall be functional at all times.
i TS 3.7.12 Action a. requires that with one or more of the above required
!
fire barrier penetrations non-functional, within one hour... verify the
!
OPERABILITY of fire detectors on at least one side of the non-functional j
fire barrier and establish an hourly fire watch patrol, j
The failure to perform adequate fire watches is identified as Violation
327,328/88-46-01 for failure to comply with TS 3.7.12 action statement a.
The 1,1censee's response and corrective actions to this violation should
address all the identified deficiencies.
l On September 30, 1988, this concern was brought to the attention of TVA management.
The issue was documented and is being tracked under CAQR SQP-88-0511.
TVA's investigation report contained the following conclusions and recommendations:
Conclusions:
e.
Some fire watch personnel were lax in their duties as fire watches.
These laxities include not adhering to fire routes, impro tion.per documentation and log keeping, and inadequate inspec-

.,
b.
Even though mistakes were made in the daily journal log, no evidence was found of malicious intent to falsify records.
c.
Even though the VAACS computer printouts show that fire watch personnel were in the area of the open breaches, sufficient t he was not indicated to adequately check the area.
d.
Apparent lack of enough management oversight was evident for the fire watch personnel and their routes.
Recommendations:
a.
Provide additional training to fire watch personnel to emphasize the importance of accurate logs, and adherence to hourly route schedules.
b.
Give the investigated individual a warning letter, c.
Investigate feasibility of installing keyed watchman stations.
d.
Prohibit the exchanging of routes between fire itches during a given shift, e.
Develop specific routes (i.e. by drawing) as an aid to the fire watches.
f.
Provide management oversight as in spot check of routes and of personnel.
g.
Provide fire watch with unique identification (e.g. red vest).
The licensee's immediate corrective action was to suspend the individual in question and to emphasize the importance of the fire routes to the remaining watches.
Currently both fire protection management 7.nd NRC are spot checking routes to observe fire watch personnel and are satisfied with the improvements.
The immediate corrective actions for this issue are considered adequate to allow two unit operation.

a.
Maintenance Work Requests The inspector's assessment relative to the status and management tracking of work requests included the following reviews:
Reviews of the WR status information contained in the Sequoyah
-
September 23, 1988, Site Weekly WR Summary and the October 4, 1988 ?rintouts of open prioritized WRs (including mode change prioritizations for Unit 1 and appropriate items common to both
.
,
'
units)
'
A review of historical work request information (past five
-
years) ion valves and the feedwater control valves (including
!
for the Unit 1 main steam isolation valves, the feedwater
,
isolat a
regulators).
The historical data was reviewed to determine if there were repetitive equipment problems which were not being i
properlyaddressedforthesubjectcomponents.
The inspector concluded the following from the above reviews:
(
Adequate WR status and completion trends are prepared for and
-
utilized by management.
l Prioritizations of WRs appear appropriate,
-
,
In the inspector's judgement the number of WRs open and the l
-
indicated trends in WR completions are satisfactory % for The
'
.
licensee falls close to the industry median of 50 i
corrective maintenance backlog that is greater than 3 months
!
old.
'
No repetitive maintenance problems were identified in the i
-
component histories checked by the inspector.
The inspector
noted that the histories of older maintenance work lacked i
details such as problem significance and cause.
Better
information was provided for more recent maintenance.
The inspector observed that there appeared to have been many WRs for
.
maintenance of feedwater control valves.
Licensee personnel
'
stated that they did not consider the maintenance to have been
[
excessive for this type of component.
lhe inspector accepted l
this explanation.
b.
Modifications
,
The inspector's assessment relative to modifications was performed by (
reviewing an October 4, 1988 modification status report for feedwater i
and main steam system components.
The inspector reviewed this report
and determined that the amount of incomplete modification work did not appear to be excessive.
Modifications appeared to be adequately tracked and managed.

c.
Preventive Maintenance The inspector's assessment of the licensee's preventive maintenance (PM) backlog was performed through discussion with involved manage-men personnel, review of computer tabulations of available and delinquent PMs for October 4,1988 and October 5,1988, and review of status information on PM com 1988, Site Weekly WR Summary.pletions included in the September 23,The numbe large to the inspector.
The industry utilizes percent PM items median of 6% performance indicator and for 1987 reported an industry overdue is a Licensee personnel indicate about 15-20% of the PM items for Sequoyah are overdue.
Industry data indicates that about 20% of the stations hcve overdue PM item percentages this high.
Because of possible differences between the data on which the Sequoyah and industry percentages were based, this comparison may not be of significance in determining PM program implementation adequacy.
From the review of the licensee's PM listings and information provided in discussions, the inspector considers that the licensee does not appear to have an excessive number of overdue PMs, however, improvement is desirable and PM status should be closely monitored.
d.
Erosion / Corrosion The inspector interviewed involved licensee personnel pertaining l
to the status of their examinations and corrective actions for l
detecting and correcting erosion / corrosion problems in balance of
!
plant components.
The licensee personnel stated that all examina-tions and corrective work required for the Unit 1 components have been completed and that examinations of Unit 2 components would be conducted in the outage scheduled for January 1989.
Based on the information provided to the inspector in his questioning of licensee personnel, he concluded that the licensee's actions relative to erosion / corrosion appeared satisfactory.
The inspector concluded that the licensee's maintenance activities and associated maintenance backlog were being adequately managed.
No violations or deviations were identified.
