Calibration (56700)

Reference:

(a) TQR 12.0, Control of Measuring and Test Equipment, Revision 1 (b) QP 12.1, Calibration and Control of Measuring and Test Equipment, Revision 3 (c) QP 12.2, Calibration Control of Installed Plant Instru-mentation and Control Equipment, Revision 1 (d) QI 12-PR/PSL-1, Calibration of Measuring and Test Equipment, Revision 7 (e) QI 12-PR/PSL-2, Calibration of Instrumentation and Control Department Measuring and Test Equipment, Revision 7 (f) QI 12-PR/PSL-3, Electrical Measuring and Test Equipment, Revision 8 (g) QI 12-PR/PSL-4, Instructions for Mechanical Maintenance Measuring and Test Equipment, Revision 5 (h) QI 12-PR/PSL-7, Calibration of Installed Plant Instru-ment and Control Equipment, Revision 3 (i)

I&C Department Procedure 1400064, Installed Plant Instrument Calibration, Revision 14 (j) MP 099060, Five Year Overhaul Calibration Check of Installed Metering Equipment (+25%), Revision 3 Utilizing the licensee's calibration program as described in the references, the inspector verified that selected instruments and measuring and test equipment (M&TE) had received proper calibration according to the following criteria:

-

For completed calibrations, documentation was complete, acceptance criteria met, proper revision used, and calibration conducted by qualified individuals

-

For calibration procedures, reviews are as required by Technical Specifications, controls are established to meet limiting conditions for operation, equipment is returned to service, calibration equipment is traceable, and acceptance values are within required limits

..

.

-

.

-

For M&TE, equipment is controlled by site procedures, calibration frequency is maintained, storage of equipment is proper, and accuracy is traceable to the National Bureau of Standards or other independent testing organization.

The inspector determined that implementation of several program areas had previously been reviewed by the NRC resident inspectors.

Discussions with the residents revealed that a review of the M&TE program implementation had not specifically been conducted.

Consequently, the inspector selected several torque wrenches, micrometers, and electronic test instruments and verified that the required calibration controls had been implemented.

Based on this review, two inspector follow-up items were identified and are discussed in the following paragraphs.

a.

Documentation of I&C Calibration Frequency Regulatory Guide 1.33, 1972 requires that safety-related installed instruments be calibrated on a specified frequency. Reference (i) is the procedure which controls this type instrument for the I&C depart-ment.

The planner has a schedule for the instruments and is main-taining the calibrations on an 18-month or refueling frequency with a 25% grace period. The inspector did not identify any instruments which had missed the periodic calibration, but an interview with the planner revealed that this specified frequency with grace period was more of a target frequency than a required one. This discrepancy appeared to be due to the fact that reference (i) does not delineate any frequency or grace period nor the importance of meeting the specified frequency selected. The licensee stated that reference (i) would be changed by April 1,1982 to reflect the actual frequency with grace period for the installed safety-related instruments.

This area is identified as an inspector follow-up item (335/82-03-04), and will be reviewed during subsequent inspections.

b.

Calibration Frequency for Electrical Department Installed Instruments i

Reference (j) is the controlling procedure which calibrates all the l

meters maintained by the Electrical Department.

The five year fre-i quency for the calibration of these meters do not appear to be based l

on any manufacturers recommendation or technical evaluation.

The licensee stated that an evaluation of the latest" calibration of the

,

l meters would be conducted by September 1, 1982, in order to determine the adequacy of the five year frequency for individual meters.

This area is identified as an inspector followup item (335/82-03-05) and will be reviewed during subsequent inspections.

-

Technical Specification surveillance and inservice inspection (ISI)

tests were covered by approved procedures which contained applicable prerequisites and preparations, acceptance criteria, and instructions to insure that systems or components are restored to operation following testing

-

Completed surveillances were reviewed in accordance with facility administrative requirements, were performed within the required time frequencies, were properly handled when tested items failed acceptance criteria, and were performed by qualified individuals.

The inspector determined that implementation of several program areas had previously been reviewed by the NRC resident inspectors.

Discussion with the resident inspectors revealed that the ISI program implementation had not been specifically reviewed. The inspector reviewed several ISI procedures for implementation.

Based on this review, no violations or deviations were identified.

The following criteria were used during this review:

-

Required administrative approvals were obtained prior to initiating work

-

Limiting conditions for operation were met while components were removed from service

-

Approved procedures were used when the activity appeared to be beyond the normal skills of the craf t

-

Written procedures were established for initiating requests for routine and emergency maintenace

-

Criteria and responsibilities for review and approval of maintenance requests were established i

-

Criteria and responsibilities that form the basis for designating the activity as safety or non-safety related were established

-

Criteria and responsibilities were designated for performing work inspection of maintenance activities l

-

Provisions and responsibilities were established for the identification of appropriate inspection hold points related to maintenance activities

-

Methods and responsibilities were designated for performing functional testing of structures, systems, or components following maintenance work and/or prior to their being returned to service.

Based on this review, two violations, and one open item were identified and l

are discussed in the following paragraphs.

a.

Failure to Follow Procedures l

!

Technical Specification section 6.8.1 requires written procedures to be

!

established, implemented, and maintained covering the procedures in

!

Appendix "A" of reference (j).

Appendix "A" section I.5, requires general procedures for the control of maintenance, repair, replacement,

-

.

.

.

.

and modification.

Reference (1) implements this requirement for St. Lucie 1.

A review of 19 PW0s indicates that the requirements specified in reference (i) are not being met. The following is a list of specific examples of failure to adequately implement AP 0010432.

(1) Paragraph 8.4 requires the Maintenance Foreman / Supervisor to agree to the work description and completeness by signing section "C" of the PWO. PW0s 3325, 3631, 2608, and 2658 were not signed by the approving supervisor.

(2) Paragraph 8.5 requires craft personnel to review all sections and attachments of the PWO to assure that all requirements and instructions are understood and adhered to.

The plant staff did not adhere to instructions in the following PW0s:

-

On PWO 2652, the on-shift SRO did not sign the verification of Technical Specifications for the work to be accomplished as required by an attachment to the PWO.

-

On PW0s 1785, 1772, and 1800, the retest was to perform ASME Code Pump Bearing Temperature testing per QI 11-PR/

PSL-2 Appendix B; however, the data sheets contained no indication that bearing temperature testing was perfor. ed and in addition were marked "N/A" in the space provided for logging of readings.

-

On PWO 1800, directions were provided to identify oil used to perform pump lubrication but there was no record of lubri-cant used.

,

-

On PWO 3643, directions were provided to disassemble cylinder

  1. 4 on the "A" diesel to repair a test valve but the work per-formed did not require disassembly of the cylinder yet the directions were not changed to delete this requirement.

l

-

On PWO 3631, a QC hold point was signed by the QC inspector for step 9.1.23 of M-0017 (an attachment to the PWO).

This step required torquing the inlet flange to a specified value.

Since this step could not be performed as written, the main-tenance personnel used slugging wrenches and hammers to tighten the flange without approval to change the procedure.

In addition, a similar valve (V1202) was worked during this process without obtaining authorization prior to performance of the work.

-

On PWO 2608, the entire description of work was changed l

without review by persons originally approving the work.

The examples listed above constitute a violation (335/82-03-01) of failure to implement procedures.

I

,

.

.

.

.

.

b.

Repair of Seismic Pipe Supports During this review, the inspector examined PWO 3488 which had been issued to repair support SI 971-6234 on a reactor safety injection pipe.

The PWO did not contain an engineering evaluation, torque requirements, or procedure references and material used during the repair was different from that shown on the drawing.

The changes completed under this PWO were e; ivalent to a plant design change.

Failure to provide measures to assure that appropriate quality standards are specified and deviations from such standards are controlled is a violation (335/82-03-02).

c.

Facility Review Group Revie.v of Maintenance Instructions Reference (a) section 6.5.1.6 requires the FRG to approve all proce-dures required by Appendix A of reference (j).

Appendix A requires that maintenance that can affect the performance of safety related equipment be performed in accordance with written procedures with the exception that maintenance within the normal skills of maintenance personnel may not require detailed step-by-step delineation in a procedure. At the present time several Plant Maintenance Instructions have not been approved by the FRG. The licensee has given a date of June 1, 1982, when all Plant Maintenance Instructions will be reviewed by FRG or classified as maintenance within the skills of the craft personnel. This item will be tracked as ar open item (335/82-03-03)

pending review of this area during a subsequent inspection.
