Circular No. 78-04 (IE)
The inspector rev1ewed the status of the IE Circular No. 78-04 dealing with the installation of sliding fire doors.
The licensee has reviewed their sliding fire door design and installation and has issued work request No. 10827 which will correct their problem.
During installation FitzPatrick installed a cap to the fusible link terminal eye anchor hook. This design prevents the terminal eye from falling free in the event of an automatic closure. The design has been corrected and is documented in a licensee's letter dated June 5, 1978, and work request No.
10827. This problem is not the same as referenced in IE Circular No. 78-04. After reviewing the above work request No. 10827, the inspector had no further questions on this matter.

Quality Assurance Surveillance a.
The inspector verified that there were quality assurance procedures that require periodic audit of work authorization for modifications and maintenance activities to verify that operating personnel are controlling these activities.
The following procedures were effective at the time of this inspection:
Power Authority of the State of New York (PASNY) - Quality
--
Assurance Program Manual for Nuclear Plant Operations; and PASNY Quality Assurance Procedures Manual.
--
Section 18 of the QA Program Manual (PASNY) requires audits to be conducted periodically. The frequency of audits is based on the importance to safety, quantity, and complexity of the work performed, the schedule for work accomplished, the results of previous audits, and the severity of previously reported nonconformances. Quality Control Procedure (QCP) - 8.0, Inspection of Quality Related Activities, requires the inspection and verification of activities that includes repair and rework, maintenance, modifications, and installation.
The inspector reviewed QC Audit No. 274E-1 dated August 1, 1978, entitled
" Operating Technical Specification Section 4.12 - Fire Pro-tection Systems." The audit was performed to determine if procedures exist for the implementation of the requirements of the subject section of the Technical Specifications.
b.
The inspector reviewed the log of Work Request (WR) and verified that quality control surveillance was periodically performed during modification and maintenance activities to assure that they were authorized and that they conformed with established plant controls.
No items of noncompliance were identified.

This procedure, Administrative Procedure (AP) 10.1 entitled " Control of Work Activity Control Procedure," Revision 1, dated August 18, 1978, provides that:
A safety analysis be performed after engineering design is
--
completed.
(A guide is provided for the analysis in AP 1.2 entitled " Plant Operations Review Committee" (PORC));
All modifications are controlled by the use of " Station
--
Design Forms" and " Plant Modification Control Forms;" and A Station Operations Review Committee review be accomplished
--
after the safety analysis.
The modification control form lists all procedural review / approval requirements and provides space for documenting their accomplishment.
No items of noncompliance were identified.
