The inspector confirmed by review of records, appropriate drawings and discussion with licensee representatives that I
the pressurizer heaters have the capability of being powered from the emergency section of the 600 volt ioad centers 2A
'
and 2C rey. actively.
The pressurizer heaters are automati-cally shed when engineered safeguards actuation occurs. The

.
heaters are not reenergized by action of the sequence but can be energized by operator action in the control room.
Station emergency operating procedures identify under what conditions the heaters groups are to be reenergized and under what conditions other emergency loads may be shed from the buses in order to provide sufficient capacity for the heaters.
The licensee has included this subject in their operator training prcgram.
Task No.
II.E.4.2 Containment Isolation Dependability The inspector has reviewed test documentation to verify that the contaiment isolation system will function when (1) phase A isolation.is initiated by safety injection signals or manual initiation, and (2) phase B isolation is initiated by containment pressure or manual initiation.

Alabama Power Company Transmission Line Inspection On October 20, 1980, the inspector perforned an aerial survey of the Alabama Power Company Farley-Pinchard, Farley-Webb-Pinchard, and the Farley Snowden high voltage transmission right-of-ways and the supporting i
transmission tower structures.
The inspector was accompanied by
'
members of the Alabama Power Company and by Mr.
J.
E.
Long, Vice President of Montgomery Aviation, pilot of the aircraft.
The inspector observed the transmission lines right-of-ways and tower structure for erosion control, vegetation control and right-of-way
,
encroachment.
'
Within the areas inspected the inspector observed no environmental deficiencies.
The inspector had no further questions.

Implementation of Licensee Strike Contingency Plan A walk out was initiated by certain employees of Alabama Power Company at the Farley Unit No. 1 operating unit.
This action resulted in Alabama Power Company initiating the Strike Contingt.ncy Plan.
The inspector verified by observation-records, and discussion with various personnel that plant staffing during the interim period of operation was fully qualified to perform their functions and that there was no deviation from regulatory requirements.
12.
Resumption of Nomal Operation Following Work Stoppage The return to work and shift turnover following the work stoppage and resumption of nomal duties of regular operating personnel to t' :ir work statt'ns was an orderly and preplanned activity.
The turnover for licensed personnel consisted of a systematic control board walk down on a component by competent basis.
Previous plant operation and plant logs were reviewed completely and in detail with the oncoming operators to assure that all previous operations and maintenance activities were understood.
Plant operating personnel who had operated the plant during the contingency period stayed on station with the regular plant operators for two to three hours before completing the turnover. The turnover of the operating station outside the control room was conducted in a similar manner.
The evening and night shift turnover was conducted in a manner consistent with the turnover of relieving personnel who had been on extended off days or vacation.
The inspector observed the return to operation by regular operating personnel and verified that the shift was manned with qualified operators in accordance with the requirement of the Technical Specifications.
'
13.
Review of Nonroutine Events Reported by the Licensee The following licensee events reports were reviewed for potential generic problems, to detemine trends, to determine whether the infomation included in the report meets the NRC reporting require-ments, and to consider whether the corrective action discussed in the i
report appears appropriate.
Licensee action with respect to selected j
reports was reviewed to verify that the events were reviewed and i
evaluated by the licensee as required by the Technical Specifications, that corrective action was taken by the licensee, and that safety limits, limiting safety settings, and limiting conditions of operation were not exceeded.
The inspector examined selected plant operations review committee minutes, incident reports, logs and records, and interviewed selected personnel.

Unresolved Item During a Performance Appraisal Inspection (50-348/80-28), the inspector l
I reviewed a Unit No. I work request concerning Unit No. 2A charging pump. The maintenance group had removed the rotating assembly from the 2A charging pump to correct a oil leak.
The maintenance personnel found a one inch long by 0.026 inch deep longnitudal groove in the pump shaft.
The groove apparently resulted from grinding the sleeve to

.
..
a
remove the sleeve from the shaft.
A Field Deficiency Report was prepared and the entire rotating assembly was returned to the pump vendor.
The inspector was concerned that the defective shaft had been reinstalled without the defect being found and evaluated during the inspection following the origional rework.
This is considered a unresolved item pending location and review of documentation concerning this work.
50-364/d6-01, 15i Fire Protection System The inspectors reviewed the status of the smoke detection systems in the Unit No. 2 Auxiliary building and the fire hose stations in the Unit No. 2 cable tunnels between the diesel generator building and the auxiliary building.
The smoke detection systems had not been completed due to relocation requirements of some of the detectors in 3 of the 27 systems.
System testing to verify operability had not been completed but is scheduled to be completed prior to fuel loading.
Hose stations had been installed in the cable tunnels.
Flushing of the systems had not been completed.
These systems will be completed prior to fuel loading.
