additional preoperational test details, and, c.

revisions to the levels to which the RCS must be drained during maintenance.

As a consequence of these discussions, the inspector considers this matter resolved.

10.

Inspection Report No. 050-346/75-12 indicated that the inspector would review the revision to the AD 1801 series of procedures which was to include a provision for reverit'ying peroperational test prerequisites whenever a test was delayed more than 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />. This review was conducted during this inspection and this matter is considered resolved.

11.

Inspection Report No. 050-346/74-06 indicated that the licensee would provide procedural controls to assure that whenever results

The inspector summ:-ized the status of selected portions of previously unresolved 16:=s.

6.

The inspector indicated that selected activities by the QA staff

/)

were reviewed which included audits conducted by them and their kV participation in preoperational testing.

Two examples of one item of noncompliance were noted.

Contrary to Criteria 2.and 18 of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, and QAP 1030, personnel conducting certain QA activities did not receive the training and/or statement of certification authorizing them to perform certain QA related tasks:

a.

The individual signing off the witness point in TP 401.08 had no training in his duties nor was he certified as being qualified to perform such duties.

b.

The personnel conducting audit No. 368 and No. 371 are not certified as authorized auditors.

1.

Status of Test Program The inspector received a status report on the preoperational test program.

Since the last operations inspection, portions of one preoperational test (TP 401.08) were conducted.

The inspector reviewed the test documentation against the AD 1801 series of g

administrative procedures and n'o deficiencies were noted with (

regard to the conduct of the test.

Certain Quality Assurance cepartment related deficiencies are discussed in section 6.b of this report. The inspector was informed that approximately 17 tests can be expected to occur in the near future depending on the resolution of certain component problems.

Among these are included testing of portions of the fire protegtion system, the service water system, and the instrument AC system.

The inspector was informed that the collated test and construction schedule for the project will be available in the immediate future and that a copy of this schedule would be made available for his information.

2.

Facility Tour The inspector conducted a tour of the facility and the following

-

items are considered noteworthy:

l d.

Preparations were underway to conduct rhe alkaline soak of the condenser.

,

e.

The circulating water pumps and motors were being checked out and coupled.

l During the tour, the inspector noted a jumper tag in the start up system 17B annunciator cabinet in the control room.

This is a turned-

'.

over system. The tag was dated July 27, 1975, and was not in accordance with AD 1823.0, the administrative procedure controlling jumpers and lif ted wires.

The licensee was informed that this was

'

an item of noncompliance.

Before the conclusion of the inspection the licensee informed the inspector that the improper tag was replaced and the personnel involved, including their supervision, were informed of the necessity of adherence to AD 1823.0.

3.

Review of Test Procedures g

The inspector reviewed the Test Procedure Master File to establish e

the, status of 100 selected Test Procedures.

The results were as (s

,

follows:

No. Recomm.

Procedure Type No.

No. Approved by SRB Acceptance Test

6 NA Preoperational

5

Test Discussions with the station staff indicates a number of the unapproved procedures are in the latter states of review and the inspector concluded that test procedure development appears consistent with the rate of turnover of safety related systems.

The inspector reiterated his suggestion that draft copies of test procedures be provided to him at the earliest possible time for review.

He noted an increase i

in the rate of procedure submittal in recent weeks by the station staff.

Surveillance, Activities b}

The inspector reviewed the surveillance activities of the station on the several safety related batteries in the station including records of surveillance tests, test deficiency reports and report processing, and the performance of the tests by station personnel.

No significant deficiencies were noted.

,

5.

Status of Unresolved Items The inspector reviewed that status of a number of previously identified unresolved items.

The details of these have already been summarized in the " Summary of Findings" section of this report.

6.

QA Department Activities

.

,

a.

Audit Activities

'

'

The inspector reviewed Audits 368, 369, 370 and 371, conducted by QA personnel on operations related activities.

A review of these audits and other department records and discussions with representatives of the licensee disclosed the following:

(1)

The personnel conducting audits 368 and 371 do not have in their training records, or elsewhere for review by the g

inspector, evidence of a statement of certification indicating

/

his qualifications to conduct such audits.

This is an item of noncompliance which is contrary to Criteria 2 and 18 of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and QAP 1030.

(2) Audit 369 treated the subject of Nonconforrance Reporting (NCR's) as required by QAP 2151 and noted that an alternate method of generating NCR's is being utilized because QAr 2151, while approved, is incomplete and therefore cannot be implemented.

This is a deviation from commitments made to the Commission in Table 17-5 of the FSAR.

.

b.

Preoperational Test Surveillance Test Procedure Test Procedure (TP) 401.08 had 2 QA witness points in that portion of the test which was recently completed.

(1)

The individual who signed off the QA witness points had not (s_ l received training in his duties relative to this test activity and no statement of certification of his qualifications was available for review by the inspector.

This is another example of an item of noncompliance which is contrary to criterion 2 and 18 of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and QAP 1030.

(2) The licensee agreed to provide his staff with further instruc-tions regarding the use and completion of witness points since, at this facility, a witness point does not require halting the test until the witness point is signed off.

The inspector will review these instructions as they become available.

c.

QAP Development The inspector reviewed the status of QAP development against the commitments made to the Commission in recent revisions to Table

_

17-5 of the FSAR.

His review disclosed the following:

(1) Table 17-5 indicates the following procedures will be implemented prior to release for operational responsibility of salety related structures, components, and systems.

QAP 5010 Equipment Release QAP 5030 Baseline Inspection

['~'

QAP 5050 Surveillance Test (

QAP 5060 Station operations QAP 5130 Maintenance QAP 5160 Personnel Training QAP 5170 Procurement QAP 5180 Material Control QAP 5200 Station Records Management The inspector noted that none of the above procedures have yet been implemented and this failure to implement represents a deviation from the commitment made to the Commission.

(2) Table 17-5 indicated that procedure QAP 5120 " Environmental Radiological. Monitoring" would be implemented one year prior

,

to fuel loading.

The inspector noted that this procedure has j

not been implemented and, since the fuel loading date currently l

projected is understood to be June, 1976, this failure to implement this procedure is another example of the deviation from the commitment made to the Commission.
