Exit Interview The inspection scope and findings were summarized on April 25, 1980, with those persons indicated in paragraph 1 above. The inspectors discussed the purpose of the inspection and their observations. Regarding the installation of the laundry system (paragraph 6), a licensee management representative stated that the type and capacity of the laundry was being evaluated but will be finalized in the near future.

Radiation Worker Training 10 CFR 19.12 specifies the information which must be included in the a.
radiation worker training program. The inspectors reviewed the radia-tion worker training program by participating in the plant's badging process. Training material inspected included video tapes covering general health physics practices, site security, rights and responsi-bilities of a radiation worker and applicable provisions of the
Commission's regulations. No items of noncompliance or deviations
'
were identified.
b.
In RII Report No. 50-348/79-42, paragraph 10c, the licensee notified an inspector that additional training incorporating suggestions con-tained in RII Report No. 50-348/79-21, concerning practical exercises in self-frisking and contamination clothing dressing / undressing proce-dures would begin January 1,1980. The inspectors verified that a practical exercise in contamination clothing dressing / undressing and self-frisking techniques. is been incorporated into the radiation worker training program and had no further questions.
6.
Installation of Liquid Radioactive Waste System-Unit 2 FSAR Section 11.2 describes the liquid radioactive waste processing a.
system, including design objectives, and system design and operation.
FSAR Table 11.2-3 lists the design parameters of the major components in the liquid waste processing system.
b.
An inspector toured the Unit 2 auxiliary building and observed that most major components of the liquid radwaste system were installed in accordance with FSAR Section 11.2 and that piping and electrical installation was progressing.
The inspector compared nameplate data of equipment with the design parame-ters listed in FSAR Table 11.2-3 making estimates of tank capacities where j
necessary. The inspector noted, however, that the cubicle reserved for the laundry and hot shower tank (10,000 gallon capacity) was empty even though instrumentation for the tank was installed on the operating panel. A licensee representative stated that an evaluation of the Unit 2 laundry
system requirements is in progress and a decision will be forthcoming. The inspector informed the licensee that he will be following the status of the l
Unit 2 laundry system very closely as this area has proven to be a source of voluminous amounts of liquid radwaste at operating plants during outages.
The inspector had no questions on the installation of the remainder of the
'
liquid waste processing system.
7.
Installation of Gaseous Radioactive Waste System-Unit 2 FSAR Section 11.3 describes the gaseous radioactive waste processing a.
system, including design objectives, and system design and operation.
FSAR Table 11.3-4 lists the design parameters of the components in the gaseous waste processing system.

An inspector toured the gaseous radioactive waste system with a licen-see representative and observed the major components installed in the system. The inspector compared nameplate data of equipment with the design parameters listed in FSAR Table 11.3-4 making component capacity estimates where necessary. The inspector had no questions on the installation of the system.
8.
Process and Effluent and Monitoring System-Unit 2 FSAR Table 11.4-2 describes the radiation monitors for the liquid and a.
gaseous process streams. The description includes channel, function, type, indicating device and alarm, and alarms and their basis.
b.
An inspector observed the radiation monitoring panel, on which the monitoring system modules are mounted, and verified that the monitors
,
listed in the FSAR table are installed, that the nameplates and markings agree with the FSAR identification and the modules contain the alarms listed. Table 11.4-2 lists the sensitivity range of each detector in uCi/cc whereas the meters are marked on counts per minute (cpm). The relationship between uCi/cc and cpm will be reviewed when the monitor cali rations are complete. The range of the meters was observed to be as stated in FSAR 11.4.2.2.
An alarm on the radioation monitoring panel alarms an annunciator c.
window on panel 2-ALB-6.
An operator informed the inspector that this window is " locked" on an alarm and does not reflash if another alarm activates. However, each module has an " alarm" and " acknowledge" window on the monitoring panel, which also activates an audible alarm.
As the alarm window is visible to the operator and an audible alarm is provided, the lack of reflash on 2-ALB-6 does not prevent the operator from being appraised of a high alarm or failure alarm. The inspector had no further questions.
9.
Preoperational Test Procedures-Unit 2 Section 14.1 of the FSAR describes the testing program, including a.
development of the preoperational test program per Regulatory Guide 1.68 and review and approval requirements. FSAR Section 14.1.3 lists the preoperational tests and synopses of the objectives, prerequisites, test methods, and acceptance criteria.
b.
An inspector reviewed six preoperational test procedures to determine that they meet the test objectives and criteria of FSAR Section 14.1.3, include the appropriate requirements listed in Appendix C of Regulatory Guide 1.68 and were reviewed and approved as specified in FSAR Section 14.1.
Procedures reviewed were:
(1) 069-5-022, " Waste Holdup Tank Pre 0p", Rev. 0

(2) 069-5-023, " Waste Evaporator Pre 0p", Rev. 0 (3) 069-5-024, " Waste Evaporator Condensate Pre 0p", Rev. 0 (4) 069-5-025, " Chemical Drain Tank Pre 0o", Rev. 0 (5) 069-5-026, " Floor Drain Tank Pre 0p", Rev. 0 (6) 069-5-028, " Waste Monitor Tank and Demineralizer Preop", Rev. O The inspector noted that procedures 069-5-024 and 069-5-026 did not require a prerequisite sign-off for the construction exception list review and procedure 069-5-024 did not require the completion and sign-off for test 069-9-003, " Waste Condensate Flush". The cognizant test engineer acknowledged that these prerequisites should have been incorporated. On April 24, 1980, modifications to the procedures were
.
issued to incorporate these prerequisites to the procedures. The
'
inspector had no further questions.
The inspector also noted that none of the procedures reviewed included c.
a prerequisite for completion of a hydrostatic test. The cognizant test engineer informed the inspector that hydrostatic tests will be
-
performed as part of the construction of the system and the records will be part of the documentation when the system is turned over by Construction for startup testing. The inspector had no further ques-tions pending review of the documentation for the system.
10.
Chemistry and Health Physics Procedures-Unit 2 An inspector discussed the preparation and implementation of procedures for Unit 2 with cognizant licensee representatives. Existing procedures appli-
-
cable to both units are designated FNP-0-XXXX. Those procedures applicable only to a specific unit are designated FNP-1-XXXX or FNP-2-XXXX for units 1 and 2, respectively. The licensee representative stated that the procedures for Unit 2 are presently being prepared but are not yet completed. These procedures will be reviewed during subsequent inspections.
