LUCIE NUCLEAR PLANT DOCKET NO. 50 335, 389 CONCE.;N 1: A " qualified and trained" Foreign Material Exclusion Monitor was not stationed at the entrance to the to the Unit 2 containment although it was considered a FME zone at that time.

the Unit 2 Containment paragga h 03.1. Foreign Material Exclusion ( ME) Control of j1 ding.

03.1 oreinn Material Exclusion (FME) Control of the Unit 2 Containment 3uildina (7D9].),

a. Inspection Scope The inspector reviewod the FME controls associated with control of material being used inside the Unit 2 containment building during the refueling outage after the containment closeout was complete. This inspection consisted of a review of the FME log, discussions with FME monitors, and Quality Instruction 0113 PR/PSL 2. Revision 29.

" Housekeeping and Cleanliness Control Methods."

b. Observations and Findings At the end of the Unit 2 refueling outage. the containment building was ,

controlled as an FME area. On May 23, 1997, the insnector reviewed the FME log book' associated with the containment building, inside the book were instructions Uhich stated that With the exception of maintenance personnel working on the Reactor Drain Tank / Containment Sump Project all other personnel shall complete the FME log. Health Physics personnel (later changed to Security) shall man the FME log desk and ensure that the log is completed for )ersonnel entering and exiting the RCB, Maintenance personnel worting on the Reactor Drain Tank / Containment Sump Project are not required to comply with the FME log requirements since a FME walk down of the work area will be performed at the completion of theproject." Also in the log book, were log sheets indicating the material that was taken into and out of containment.

On May 29. after the containment was closed cut and t! FME erea released, the inspector reviewed these log sheets and . .ed several items that had not been logged as having been removed from the

-

containment. These items included: pacer, safety belt, paperwork. pen.

l nineteen individuals signing in on the log failed to sign out upon i exiting.

The inspector discussed the instructions listed in the FME log with various licensee management stating that these instructions did not 1 agree with the site procedure for control of FME. The licensee sto:?d l

that it was not their intention to maintain the containment as en f i l area as defined in the 01. Their philosophy was that after the sump i work was complete the entire area would be inspected and any remaining items would then be removed. Therefore it- was not necessary to log all items entering into this particular area. However, they did require that personnel not working on the sump job complete the FME log. The ins)ector noted that the entrance to the containment was identified as an ME area, that an FME log was established to control material entering and exiting the area, and that an FME monitor 'as established.

Procedure 01 1? PR/PSL-2. Section 5.5. stated, in part, that for Quality Group B systems and components. "if an FME Control Area is required the control area and controls shall be established prior to opening the system or
