Based on the licensee letter of response dated July 2, 1985, and a review of the corrective action, this item is close Monthly Surveillance Observation (61726)

The inspectors observed and reviewed Technical Specification required surveillance testing and verified that testing was performed in accordance with adequate procedures; that test instrumentation was calibrated; that limiting conditions were met; that test results met acceptance criteria and were reviewed by personnel other than the individual directing the test; that any deficiencies identified during the testing were properly reviewed and resolved by appropriate management personnel; and that personnel conducting the tests were qualifie The inspector witnessed / reviewed portions of the following test activities:

FNP-182-STP- Operations Daily and Shift Surveillance Requirement FNP-1&2-STP-109.0 - Power Range Neutron Flux Channel Calibratio FNP-2-STP-8 Diesel Generator 2B Operability Tes FNP-1&2-STP-70.0 - Containment Sump Surveillanc FNP-2-STP-2 Penetration Room Filter Alignment Verificatio FNP-2-SOP-2.

FNP-1-STP-33.1B - Safeguards Test Cabinet Train B Functional Tes FNP-1-STP-22.0B - Solid State Protection System Train B Operational Tes Within the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identifie . Monthly Maintenance Observation (62703)

Station maintenance activities of safety-related systems and components were observed / reviewed to ascertain that they were conducted in accordance with approved procedures, regulatory guides, industry codes and standards, and were in conformance with Technical Specification The following items were considered during the review: limiting conditions for operations were met while components or systems were removed from l service; approvals were obtained prior to initiating the work; activities l were accomplished using approved procedures and were inspected as appli- I cable; functional testing and/or calibrations were performed prior to

. 3 returning components or systems to service; quality control records were maintained; activities were accomplished by qualified personnel; parts and materials were properly certified; radiological controls were implemented; and fire prevention controls were implemente Work requests were reviewed to determine the status of outstanding jobs to assure that priority was assigned to safety-relateo equipment maintenance which may affect system performance. The following maintenance activities were observed / reviewed:

-

Unit 2 - New Fuel Monorial Hoist (PM).

- 1-2A Diesel Generator - TSRX relay replacemen Emergency Power Board ground detectio Unit 1 - Adjust timer on step 6 of LOSP sequence B Diesel Generator - FNP-MP-14.1 Change out grease in M0V 3764 F and 1-G MCXC - Remove compartment door trip switches

.PCN-B84-D-3020 and PCN 884-0-302 Unit 2 LT-46 Change out lubricant in various M0V geared limit switche Within the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were idantifie . Operability Safety Verification (71707) The inspectors observed control room operations, reviewed applicable logs and conducted discussions with control room operators during the report period. The inspectors verified the operability of selected emergency systems, reviewed tagout records, and verified proper return to service of affected components. Tours of the auxiliary, diesel, turbine buildings, service water structure, and other parts of the plant were conducted to observe plant equipment conditions, including fluid leaks and excessive vibration The inspectors verified compliance with selected Limited Condition for Operations (LCOs) and results of selected surveillance tests. The verifications were accomplished by direct observation of monitoring instrumentation, valve positions, switch positions and review of completed logs, records, and chemistry result The licensee's compliance with LC0 action statements were reviewed as they happene The following systems and components were observed / verified opera-tional:

-

Station electrical boards in the control room and various elect-rical boards throughout the plant for proper electrical alignmen Certain accessible hydraulic snubber Accessible portions _ of service water and component cooling water system .

- Units 1 and 2 suction and discharging piping and valves on auxiliary feedwater syste Diesel generators and support system Certain accessible portions of CVCS piping and valves to and from the charging /high head safety injection pump Certain portions of RHR and containment spray system Portions of various other systems (safety-related and nonsafety-related),

c. The inspectors routinely attended meetings with certain licensee management and observed various shift turnovers between shift super-visors, shift foremen, and licensed operator These meetings and discussions provided a daily status of plant operating, maintenance, and testing activities in progress, as well as discussions of signifi-cant problem d. The inspector verified by observation and interviews with security force members that measures taken to assure the physical protection of the facility met current requirements. Areas inspected included the organization of the security force; the establishment and maintenance of . gates, doors, and isolation zones; that access control and badging were proper; and procedures were followe e. On September 1,1985, at 7:05 p.m., the licensee declared a notifica-tion of unusual event due to proximity of hurricane Elena off the Florida coas Abnormal Operating Procedure 21.0 " Severe Weather" was initiate The Technical Support Center was manned by the emergency director and staff. Load was decreased to 75% on Units 1 and 2 for stability in case of loss of a transmission line. The notification of unusual event was terminated at 1:45 a.m. on September 2,198 The resident inspector was onsite during this time, f. On September 1,1985, at 4:02 a.m., the #1 governor valve on Unit 2 main turbine failed close There was a resultant loss of load; the condenser steam dumps opened; a third condensate pump started; and the turbine DEH transferred to single valve control. At 4:04 a.m., the W I was outside the target band due to driving control rods into the core to control reactor temperature. W I was back in the target band at 4:19 a.m. and 15 penalty points were accumulated. The licensee is investigating the cause of the anomal g. On August 28,1985, at 2:23 p.m., 2-C diesel generator received an inadvertent start signa The diesel came up to speed and rated voltage but did not synchronize on to the buss. The diesel was shut down by the control room operator.

,. 5 The diesel started when I&C maintenance personnel bumped a relay while troubleshooting a problem in the jacket water syste The licensee reported the incident by red phone to NRC at 5 p.m. as an inadvertent actuation of ESF syste . Licensee Event Reports The following Licensee Event Reports (LERs) were reviewed for potential generic problems to determine trends, to determine whether information included in the report meets the NRC reporting requirements, and to consider whether the corrective action discussed in the report appears appropriat Licensee action, with respect to selected reports, were reviewed to verify that the event had been reviewed and evaluated by the licensee as required by the Technical Specification; that corrective action was taken by the licensee; and that safety limits, limiting safety settings and LCOs were not exceede The inspector examined selected incidents reports, logs and records, and interviewed selected personnel. The following reports are considered closed:

Unit 1 LERs 85-09 - Reactor Protection System Actuation while in mode 4, 85-10 - Reactor tri Control room emergency air cleanup systems inoperable, 85-12 - Reactor tri Reactor tri Unit 2 LERs 85-10 - Reactor tri .- Peactor tri Reactor trip.
