(c)

TP 205.07 "High Pressure Injection System SFAS Test."

-

This procedure does not call for deenergization of

the pressurizer heaters as indicated in the abstract in the FSAR (page 14-37b, item 2.4).

In discussions with the licensee, it appeared that the test as planned may result in a combination of pressure and temperature of the RCS which will not conform to the limits which will be in section 3.4.4.9 of the Technical Specifications.

The data to be used in this section was not available for review so this item will remain unresolved.

(d)

TP 320.02.1

" Integrated Control System Open Loop Calibration." The licensee was requested to review the input values to be used in this procedure against current listings.

The li;ensee indicated that such i

'

was their intent.

(e)

TP 600.33 " Reactor Vessel Internals Inspection After Hot Functional Testing." The licensee indicated that he would:

((1))

Note the revision number of drawings s

I used during dimensional inspections on

 !

the data sheets used.

((2))

Provide a temporary modification to the procedure to formalize additional data taken, and to assure this data vill be retaken at the conclusion of Hot Functional Testing.

(f)

TP 24'00.21

" Reactor Temperature Instrumentation Preoparational Calibration - Instrument Strings RC 3A and 3B.";

TP 2400.25 " Containment Pressure to SFAS and RPS Preoperational Calibration"; and TP 2400.26 " Containment Radiation Level Inputs to SFAS Preoperational Calibration."

These three procedures are expected to be revised.

.

i

The repair of the steam line weld in one of the lines i

from generator No. I has been completed. This is discussed further in the following section.

h.

The Component Cooling Water System is shut down for valve installation. This is discussed further in the following section.

i 3.

Clean Boundary Controls i

During the facility tour, the inspector determined that the clean i

boundary controls required by Administrative Procedure AD 1835.01 had been or were being properly implemented by the work forces for the following work:

a.

The cleanliness controls associated with the repair of weld imperfections by the installation of a spool piece in one

'

of the steam lines from steam generator No. 1 were reviewed by the inspector. Appropriate " Cleaned System Rework i

Release Forms" were prepared as required. Protective measures were taken to keep the cleaned steam line

from contamination during weld preparation activities, and the spool piece was cleaned and certified clean by licensee test prior to installation.

Visual inspection, by QC personnel of the work force, verified removal of protective barriers prior to spool piece placement.

The inspector had no further j

questions on this matter.

!

.

During discussions with the contractors' personnel relative to

'

the above activities, the inspector was made aware that the

.

stress relieving activity which followed spool piece welding

,

was done at a temperature of 10500F for thyee hours while B&W Procedure 9W60lN calls for 11000F - if30 F for one

'

hour per inch of weld.

The licensee was informed that this information would be passed on to the Construction Branch i

inspectors who will be following this repair activity.

l b.

The cleanliness control activities involved in the installation of a valve in the Component Cooling Water System were reviewed by the inspector. The inspector verified that.the appropriate l

.

that the controls in use appeared effective to maintain system cleanliness during this operation.

The inspector had no further questions on this matter.

4.

Review Board Activities The inspector reviewed the activities of the Company Nuclear Review

.

Board (CNRB) and the Station Review Board (SRB) to verify that they were functioning in accordance with licensee commitments contained in the FSAR. This review included:

a.

Review of CNRB minutes for their first three meetings (minutes of June 24, 1976, meeting not yet published and available for review).

b.

Review of SRB minutes for meeting numbers 200 (June 16,1976),

201 (June 22, 1976), 202 (June 23, 1976), and 203 (June 25, 1976).

t c.

Discussions with the chairmen of both boards, d.

Attending portions of the SRB meeting of June 30, 1976, during the review of portions of TP 200.09 " Steam Generator Secondary Hydro".

y No deficiencies were noted in these activities relative to commitments

in the FSAR.

The inspector noted that the boards were also functioning in accordance with the requirements which are contained in their proposed Technical Specifications. _The inspector also noted that formal charters for these boards are in advanced stages of development, and he will review the final versions in detail during a subsequent inspection.

The inspector reviewed the licensee applications of the 26 license applicants (15 SR0; 11 RO) which included records of their training and verified that the licensee had completed his training commitments.

Included in this group were personnel added af ter the original selection of the operating staff. Training of personnel is continuing in preparation for the operator examinations, and on the job training will continue throughout the Hot Functional Testing Sequence.

Ti:e inspector attended'a portion of a lecture Seing given to one of the operating crews.

The inspector has no further questions on this matter of training at this time.

6.

Preoperational Test Progrem Implementatien The inspector reviewed licensee activities and records to ascertain that the licensee has implemented the administrative controls he O

has developed in support of FSAR commitments and regulatory k_,)

requirements with regard to the preoperational test program.

The areas of Test Program, Test Organization, Test Program Administration, Document Control, Design Changes, Plant Maintenance, Equipment Protection, Test Equipment, cnd Test Personnel Training were reviewed. No significant deficiencies were observed when reviewing these activities against current licensee commitments 7.

Preoperational Test Records

'

_

The inspector reviewed selected licensee preoperational test records to ascertain that the program for control of these records is in accord with FSAR commitments and regulatory requirements.

identified in Inspection Reports No. 050-346/76-06 and No. 050-346/76-10,

'

for which corrective action is under development by the licensee, no significant deficiencies were identified. However, the licensee was asked to consider the development of suitable administrative controls to prevent the control copy of.

preoperational test procedures to be adequately protected during those periods when tests are interrupted for prolonged periods.

The licensee noted that this comment would be given consideration.

8.

Testing Clarifications The inspector had further discussions with representatives of the licenses regarding his concerns over the performance of two preoperational tests as currently planned by the licensee. This discussion with the licensee followed the inspector obtaining further guidance from his management.

a.

TP 256.01 " Station Response to Loss of Instrument Air Test"

,

Inspection Report No. 050-346/76-04 had indicated that the inspector planned to pursue with his management that the licensee be required to demonstrate that safety related pneumatic devices are properly connected to their respective headers as shown on f acility drawings by tests such as

-

header isolations. During this inspection the licensee indicated that he intended to develop such a test procedure, but that details were not available for review by the inspector since the assigned engineer was unavailable due to illness.

j Since the licensee plans to conduct appropriate tests, no further action on this matter is required other than the

,

'

inspector reviecing the test procedure when completed and verifying its' implementation.

b.

T? 201:03 " Core Flood Tank Functional Test" Previous inspection reports (No. 050-346/76-03, and No. 050-346/76-10) have documented the inspector's concerns over

.

the need for flow rate testing of the core flood tanks.

During this inspection, further discussions kere held, and ~

~

.

'

the licensee representative agreed to consider thfs matter further and contact the inspector in the near future with additional information. The licensee acknowledged his understanding that the inspector's management believed this matter could better be resolved at the regional level,

,

but that escalation to higher levels would be considered if necessary to obtain resolution.
