Attended exit interview

-

! Exit Interview l The inspection scope and findings were summarized on 11/5/80 and [

12/3/80 with those persons 1-dicated in paragraph 1 abov The .

inspectors summarized the areas examined and identified those items j requiring futher examination at later times.

,

I In the December 3 exit interview, the licensee and inspectors discussed

the licensee's plans to preoperationally test the loose parts monito The FSAR commits the licensee to install and test the system, although operability prior to fuel load is not a specifically stated '

i requiremen Due to d> mage during later stages of construction, major l

portions of the loose parts monitoring system must be replaced. The licensee is concerned that further damage could occur if reinstallation is done while construction work is being done in the area - The j inspectors agree that the earliest need for the system is at the time -:

the reactor coolant pumps are first started after fuel loadin The l

> licensee has committed to completing preoperational testing of the  ;

loose parts monitoring system prior to starting the pumps. Review of

'

l i completion of testing by that time is inspector followup item 80-39-01.

5. Procedure Review i

l Procedures were reviewed in the following arqas: Initial Fuel Loading l The inspector reviewed the following procedures for completeness ,

i in meeting Technical Specification conditions and surveillance requirements, and for compliance with industry practice TP/1/A/2650/01 Initial Fuel Loading CP/0/A/6550/04 Fuel ard Component Handling

! ~0P/0/A/6550/07 Preparation for Refueling j OP/0/A/6550/02 Overhead and Fuel Hancling Cranes Operation  :

! The inspector also verified the existence of a surveillance program for

'

i the overhead crane hook !

l Two items remain open in this area, related to IE Circular .

'

i l (1) CI-80-21 Refueling Crew Makeu In NRC's response to Duke's l letter of October 20, 1950 on IE Circular 80-21, NRC agrees that j the Oconee organization of refueling crews meets the Technical Specification requirement The licensee indicated that the following changes to TP/1/A/2550/01 will be made- prior to fuel load so that the McGuire procedures reflect the acceptable

'

refueling organizatio (a) The individuel operating the fuel handling bridge will be a e licensed reactor operator, or a reactor operator in training l being supervised by a licensed operator on the refueling

! deck.

I i

1 (b) Clarification will be made of the -duties of the control room ( reactor operator during refuelin Specific areas include -

normal duties a statement of permitted concurrent duties, if any, and duties assumed if tne ORD in cnarge of refueling ,

leaves the control roo l This circular remains open pending completion of these change !

(2) CI-80-13 Grid Strap Damage in Westinghouse Fuel Assemblie This circular includes several recommendations for loading fuel to e avoid bundle contac The inspector concurs with the licensee's l decision not to incorporate these recommendations into the initial ,

fuel load procedur However, the licensee has agreed to reconsider the recommendations for refuelings, when some of the

'

fuel bundles will be radiation deformed and problems with bundle to bundle contact are more likel This circular remains open .

until the refueling procedures are completed ar.d reviewe ,

3 Precritical Testing l The following test procedures were : reviewed' against the licensee's commitments stated in FSAR section 14.1, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3; Reg Guides.1.68 and Reg Guide- 1,33. Specific items which; were verified included:

(1) Acceptance Criteria consistent with Test Specification and-FSAR_ description (2) Procedural steps have provisions for completion signoffs (3) Data sheets are properly referenced -in the test, have provisions for all data requested, and are consistent with acceptance critaria (4) All changes have been approved by at . lea st the test director:

Portions of the following preoperational tests were observe TP/0/A/1450/02 Preoperational Filter Test for the Auxiliary Building Filtered Exhaust Filter Trains '

TP/1/A/1600/02 Nuclear Instrumentation Functional Test TP/1/A/1600/03 Reactor Protection System Functional Test -

The satisfactory completion of the applicable test prerequisites, procedure step >ignoff upon completion, and verification of test data meeting acceptance criteria were observe The activity area was clear  ;

of adverse inspection finding ;

'

In addition, the inspector observed the licensee's second preparatory emergency drill on November 5, 1920, and attended the post drill critique at the Training Cente Particular items raised in the j

'

critique were division of responsiblities between the offsite and on site response teams, and changes to the data presenation to improve realis Necessary changes were planned prior to the December 5-6 planned dril The inspector also noted some communications problems at the site, mainly caused by relocation of the staff in the adnini-stration building while construction of the technical support center was in progres These problems are expected to be solved by completion l

, of the TS Further inspector observation was planned for the December f dril t Test Results Review  ;

The following completed preoperational test packages were reviewed:

'

TP/1/A/1200/04 Containment Spray Functional Test-TP/1/A/1600/02 Nuclear Instrumentation System Functional Test '

The review included verifying that: .s j (a) all prerequites and system status items had been signe ,
