Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspection.

5.

Plant Operation The inspector reviewed plant operation to ascertain conformance with regulatory requirements, technical specification and Administrative Procedure No. 16,

" Conduct of Operation - Operation Group". Station logs, such as the shift supervisor, shift foreman, control room operators, shift turnover, the out of service equipment log, night order log book, and the limited condition of operation log, were reviewed. The inspector conducted tours of selected areas of the plant which included portions of the auxiliary building, diesel generator building, and the river water pump house. Observations were made of plant operation, monitoring instrumentation, radiation controls, fluid leaks, piping vibration, pipe hangers, certain valve positions, housekeeping, fire hazards, and equipment tagged out of service for maintenance.

Discussions were held with plant operators throughout the plant concerning certain alarm functions and plant operations.

Within the areas inspected no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

6.

Plant Security The inspector verified that physical barriers were intact and that gates into the protected areas were closed and locked if not attended, that doors into vital areas were closed and locked or attended, and that isolation zones were free of visual obstruction.

The inspector verified that access into protected areas was controlled, that persons and packages were identified and authorized prior to entry into protected areas, and that all persons, packages and vehicles were searched prior to entry in accordance with regulatory requirements and security procedures.

Within the areas inspected, no deviations or items of noncompliance were identified.

7.

a.

548-6-001 Plant Response to Integrated Safeguards Without Blackout.

The purpose of this test was to verify that.all engineered safeguards components respond to a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) in the as-designed manner without loss of offsite power. This test was attempted three times before the required results were achieved. Minor procedural and-equipment problems were encountered and corrected prior to the-final successful demonstration that all safeguards components responded as required.

>

b.

548-6-002 Plant Response to Integrated Safeguards With Blackout i

The purpose of this test was to demonstrate the diesel generator capa-bility when responding to a LOCA and to verify that all engineered

.

safeguards components respond to a LOCA signal in the as-designed ~

manner.

Plant Operational Status The status of Phase I and II testing programs was reviewed and is summarized below:

Testing Completed 59%

Testing in Progress 18%

,

Testing not Started 21%

Test Data Approved by the Lir_ensee 30%

i Followup on the integrated punch list was continued during this inspection.

Revisions to the punch list are issued weekly and periodically licensee'

representatives review the status of each open item on the list. When an

,

item is reported as complete, a systems completion engineer verifies the item status before it is removed from the integrated punch list.

11.

Preoperational Test Status The status of the preoperational test procedures is listed below. These procedures are required to be completed and properly approved prior to initial fuel load.
