t .2'. 0 Mcensee Action On Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Unresolved Item (5C-334/85-27-03): The "B" Component' Cooling ' l

Water,? ump motor was declared inoperable on November 1, 1985, due to high lube M1 temperatures. After several unsuccessful licensee attempts to / identify:and correct the problem, unresolved item 85-27-03 was initiated for NRC Region I to track the corrective action.

, ' The' licensee's continued investigation of the problem was documented in s Report No. N02MEL: 0071, dated February 3,1986, which stated in part that the overheating was due to misalignment of the pump and motor.

Corrective action included realigning the motor and opening the inboard i ' bearing gap to 7 mils. The report went on to state that the motor performance was acceptable following the. corrective action.

Subsequently, the inspector's review did not identify further discrepancies in the > , motor's performance following the licensees corrective action.

! Based on the above, this item is closed.

, 3.0 Maintenance Review i ',The inspector reviewed the controls established to govern ' maintenance and caseryed maintenance activities in order to determine the effectiveness of the maintenance pr(gram at BVPS Unit 1.

procedures in an acceptable manner; Instructions from vendor. manuals were used in the procedures as l

applicable; j Torque values were specified where required or needed; and,

Procedure instructions were technically adequate for the work

to be performed.

3.3 Observation of Maintenance Activities The inspector observed maintenance work being conducted on the following components: Control Room Air Conditioning Unit, AC-1A,

Fuel Pool Purification Pump and Motor, "A",'and

, Feedwater Regulating Valve, FCV-FW-478.

  • During the performance of work on these components, the inspector specifically verified the following attributes:

Maintenance activities were authorized by Operations personnel

prior to the beginning of work; > Maintenance personnel conducting the work were familiar with

' the ongoing job; QC coverage appeared to be adequate; .

Procedures were followed where applicable;

Requirements specified on Radiation Work Permits (RWPs) were

followed where applicable; Maintenance personnel established cleanliness controls

appropriate for the' work; Housekeeping control of job sites was adequate;

Serial numbers and calibration dates of maintenance and test

l equipment used for the job were recorded in the applicable controlling documents; i

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ - .. i

Replacement parts were documented in the applicable controlling

document; Testing associated with the maintenance activity was performed " - adequately; and, Performance of the~ work was conducted in a safe manner.

  • 3.4 Findings and Discussion Following a review of the maintenance histories for selected components, the inspector concluded that the licensee had an extensive maintenance data base.

This. data base covers a span from current maintenance activities to activities which are greater than five years old.

Upon request, the licensee was able to print out listings of preventive and corrective maintenance tasks performed on individual components.

Printouts for individual components were also obtained which described in detail the failure description and-corrective action, as well as other pertinent maintenance informa-tion.

This maintenance data base is supplementary to the microfilmed' maintenance packages maintained by plant records.- The inspector concluded, after his review of the requested historical maintenance i information, that the attributes listed in paragraph 3.1 of this report are adequately addressed in the available work documentation.

Based on personal observations of the ongoing work, the inspector concluded that the three activities observed were conducted in accordance with the requirements identified in paragraph 3.3 of this report.

The inspector did question maintenance personnel during-testing associated with work on the control room air conditioning unit concerning the possible hazards of inhaling Refrigerant-12 which-was discharging into a closed space during the test.

The inspector observed that the maintenance personnel exhibited no apparent concern even though a rather large amount of Refrigerant-12 was discharging into the test area through a leaking flange.

These maintenance personnel later stated to the inspector that they sho,uld be careful not to be exposed unnecessarily to the vapors. The inspector discussed this concern with management, who indicated that the matter would be examined in order to ensure safe work practices.~ The inspector had no further questions.

During his review, the inspector held discussions with various'sife personnel in order to determine the conduct and effectiveness of the Preventive Maintenance (PM) program at BVPS Unit 1.

The inspector subsequently concluded that PM trending analyses of plant. components are performed on a reactive basis and are not part of an ongoing program for most components at the site.

The inspector did identify several instances where components were.added to the PM program after work performed under corrective maintenance MWRs had identified activities that could be addressed on a preventive basis. One example -

- .

i of.this type'was noted by the inspector during a: review of l .. maintenance activities performed on the "A" Low-Head Safety Injection -{ Pump, where securing nuts for the wedge control rods were periodi-j cally tightened under corrective maintenance MWRs.

The inspector . observed that a periodic inspection of these nuts had been initiated ! on a preventive maintenance basis indicating a responsiveness of } maintenance personnel to a preventive maintenance philosophy, g No violations or deviations were identified.

4.0 Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) - The inspector held discussions with Quality Control (QC) personnel; reviewed maintenance procedures and MWRs; and observed ongoing work in order to ascertain QCs role in maintenance.

The inspector determined that QC coverage of maintenance activities were adequate,'and that QC inspectors are familiar enough with the maintenance activities to perform their function properly.

In addition, maintenance work requests and _ maintenance procedures have an appropriate number and placement of hold.

~ ' points in order to assure adequate inspection of the work.

No violations or deviations were observed.

l l 5.0 Exit Meeting !l The inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in paragraph 1.0) l at the conclusion of the inspection on September 4, 1987.

During this- ' exit meeting, the inspector summarized the. scope and findings of the inspection as described in this report.

j i At no time during the inspection was written. material provided to the _l licensee by the inspector. The licensee did not identify any information

presented as being proprietary.
