j Security and health physics were the major prob 1cm areas. Negative security findings were evident during both the March and December 1979 inspections as
.
were negative health physics findings in May and November. In both areas the

Licensee Event Reports Reviewed: 79-14/03L through 80-25/03L Evaluation of the above tabulation:
t Adequate corrective action appears to have been taken in almost every case, however, there were instances in April, May and June 1980 of recurring events associated with diesel generator inadequat time response. These events occurred
.
in a post maintenance time period. No LERs on this type event have I
been reported since June 16, 1980.

Justification of Evaluations of Functional Areas Categorized as Requiring an Increese in Inspection Frequency / Scope (See Evaluation Sheets)
1.
Design Changes and Modifications During routine program inspecticas: increased emphasis will be placed in this area to assure that the licensee performs adequate evaluation, ftactional testing and documentation of all changes and modifications.
Noncompliances have been identified in this area in the past.
2.
Quality Control As Unit 2 approaches completion more demands are being made on the QA staff.
Increased emphasis will be placed in this area on Unit 1 to assure adequate inspections are still being conducted by site QA staff.
No major problems in the QA/QC areas have been identified.
The above two items will be covered during routine inspection.
No increase in program requirementr are warranted at this time.
F.
Comparison of Unit 1 With Unit 2 A comparison of Unit I (in operation) with Unit 2 (in pre-operational testing)
is not useful for the period of this evaluation.
As Unit 2 progresses through pre-operational testing (estimated completion early 1981) an appropriate com-parison will be available.
G.
Overall Evaluation The overall performance of licensed activities is above average.
Increased emphasis during the routine inspection program will be placed in the areas of design changes and quality control.
No increased inspection scope is required fer this facility at this time.
Good communications exist between the licensee, the NRR project manager, and Region II.
