Review and Audits - Onsite Review Committee (PRB)
The Plant Review Board (PRB) is the onsite committee for review of the operation of Trojan. Administrative Order A0-2-1, " Plant Review Board Charter", recently revised, establishes the PRB membership based on the new organizational structure at Trojan and provides instructions for the PRB in conformance with the requirements of the Technical Specifications. The PRB met at least monthly during the past year and the minutes of those meetings reflect the reviews done were of the types required.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
3.
QA/QC Administration Program The inspector reviewed the " Nuclear Projects Quality Assurance Program for Operations", Rev 5(2/29/80). The program contains responsibilities and instructions appropriate to the requirements of Appendix B to 10CFR50 for establishing such a program.
Several recent QA department audits were reviewed and were fourd to be consistent with the program.
One area of concern is the timeliness of corrective actions to the findings of the QA audits.
For example, an offsite QA department audit in June 1978 reported a deficiency in the timeliness of in-corporating design changes into existing procedures and drawings.
The resolution included a task force established to study the problem and report on the recommended corrective action required by the end of December 1978. Offsite QA audits in December 1979 and March 1980 indicate that to date no corrective action has been l
taken (nor did the task force make a report) and the original
'
deficiency is still outstanding (previously noted item 78-19-01 and l
79-09-01).
This item will be reviewed during a future inspection to assure its resolution (80-09-01).

,
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie.

4.
Procedures The inspectar reviewed the program for providing administrative controls over procedure promulgation, changes and reviews for the operation of the plant. Administrative Orders (A0's) provide for methods to control procedures, including the assigning of respon-sibilities for that control. Several procedures were selected to determine that the proper reviews and approvals were made.
flo items of noncompliance ce deviations were identified.
5.
Procurement Program An inspector reviewed several administrative procedures to verify that the licensee has established a program for procurement of materials and services necessary for the conduct of safe plant operation and maintenance.
Documentation reviewed included:
QA Program for Operations Chapter 7.0 -
Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services QAP-4
-
Procurement Document Control QAP-7-2
-
Control of Vendor Services A0-5-3
-
Spare Parts Equivalency Evaluation Quality Related Procurement Document A0-12-1
-
and Control A0-12-2
-
Determination of Quality Level Codes A0-12-5

Emergency Procurement of Quality-Related Replacement Parts or Services Licensee Q-List of Safety Related Materials Licensee STS-List of Quality Related Materials Based upon the above review, the following findings are pertinent:
a.
The licensee has established a program for the procurement of quality related materials and services.
b.
The STS-List of Quality Related Materials did not include the coil stacks for the Digital Rod Position Indication (DRPI)
System. The licensee agreed that the coil stacks for the DRPI should be on the subject list and QA personnel on site stated that they have tried on more than one occasion to have the coil stacks added to the STS-List.
The licensee stated that QA procedures were applied to the coil stacks (on site) and committed to having them included on the STS-List to preclude future potential procurement errors, tio items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie _

6.
Test and Measuring Equipment Program An inspector reviewed administrative procedures and five individual test instrumentation calibration folders to verify that the licensee
had implemented a program to control test and measuring equipment.
Administrative procedures included:
Quality Assurance Program for Operations Chapter 12.0 -
Control of Measuring and Test Equipment Control of Portable Measuring and Test QAP-12-2
-
Equipment The instrument calibration folders reviewed included:
Dead Weight Tester, Trojan S/N T-0523 Voltage Calculator, Trojan S/N T-0524 Heise Gage, Trojan S/N T-0519 Decade Resistance Box, Trojan S/N 0931 Digital Voltmeter, Trojan S/N T-3481 Based upon the above review, the following findings are pertinent:
a.
Instrument calibration folders sometimes contained a copy of the procedure to calibrate the associated instrument.
No administrative procedure existed to update the calibration procedure copies in the calibration folder when the calibration procedure may be changed. After discussion with the inspector, the licensee agreed to remove copies of calibration procedures from the instrument folders to prevent a technician from using a potentially superseded calibration procedure.
,
b.
The licensee has established and implemented a program for test and measuring equipm2nt i
l No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
7.
Receipt, Storage, and Handling An inspector reviewed four procedures that established a QA program relating to the receipt, storage, and handling of quality related materials.
Documentation reviewed included:
Control of Purchased Materials and Equipment j
QAP 7-1
-
QAP 15-1
-
Identification and Control of Nonconforming Materials, Parts, and Components A0-12-3
-

Based upon the above review and a tour of the licensee onsite warehouse, the following findings are pertinent:
a.
The licensee has established and implemented a prs 'am for the receipt, handling, and storage of quality related materials.
b.
During a tour of the warehouse, the inspector noted that a bag of anhydrous boric acid had fallen and broken open onto boxes of Q class weld rods.
The inspector also noted that several boxes of Q class inline flow filters were marked on the exterior of the packages to prohibit their issuance and were being stored with boxes of filters that were ready for issue.. The inspector pointed out both of the above items to the warehouse storekeeper. The bag of boric acid had apparently just fallen onto the weld rods and the storekeeper directed that it be immediately cleaned up. The storekeeper pointed out that the inline filters were being modified and were not nonconforming items. The licensee agreed that material in storage being modified should, however, be stored separately from ready for issue materials, fio items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
8.
Independent Inspection During a tour of the Control Room, one inspector noted that the Source Range detector anode voltage settings seemed high.
Upon
. review of the latest set of detector anode voltage curves, the inspector made the following findings:
a.
The licensee has used the reactor core during a routine startup as the neutron source to collect data for the anode voltage curve of the source range detectors. The vendor technical manual states that a source should be used to provide the neutron source for the detector anode voltage curve determination.
(UnresolvedItem 80-09-02)
b.
The width of the anode voltage curve plateau for the detector in Source Range Channel t131 is less than that prescribed by the vendor technical manual.
This condition could be indicative of a deteriorated source range neutron detector.
(80-09-03)
The licensee has committed to contact the vendor concerning the procedure used to determine the anode voltage curve data.
In addition, the licensee has committed to have the vendor review the data for the Source Range Channel t131 detector to determine whether the detector needs to be replaced.
Both commitments are to be completed prior to return to power operation.
tio items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie.
