FSAR/TS Updates In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55d, the licensee issued a revision to his FSAR at the time of completion of the facility to bring his license application up to date. The inspectors reviewed portions of this revision, No. 41 dated January 26, 1981.

As a result of this review, the following Inspector Follow-up Items are closed.

a.

(Closed) IFI - 78-38-08 Update FSAR drawings to reflect as-built systems.

The inspectors reviewed a sampling of drawing changes and verified incorporation of as-built drawings previously walked down.

'

b.

(Closed) IFI - 80-02-01 Update of HP Organization in FSAR.

The inspectors noted that the revision describes the current health physics organization.

Other Inspector Followup Items opened as a result of discrepancies found in FSAR prior to this update will be reviewed by region-based inspectors at a later date.

'

The inspectors also compared portions of the Precautions, Limitations and Setpoints (PLS) list with the FSAR and Technical Specifications. Discrepan-cies were found to be conservative. Differences were identified to NRR for

,

followup in future Technical Specifications if desired. This review of the

,

PLS closes IFI 78-38-04, Differences between draft TS and PLS.

,

Followup on IE Circular 6.

,

The inspector reviewed the licensee's response to IE Circular 80-22, Confir-

'

mation of Employee Qualification.

The personnel and administrative staff i

described verifications., performed of education and recent experience. of i

applic'an'ts' for ' positions in the ' plant.' The ' inspector ha~s no further

'

~

!

questions in this area. This circular is closed.

l 7.

Preoperational Test Program Records i

The inspector reviewed the systems for preoperational test document storage, l

retrieval and retention. Station Directives and the Administrative Policy Manual were inspected to verify the existence of a program to implement the commitments of the FSAR (ANSI N.45.2.9) and described.in Technical Specifi-cation Section 6.

The inspector also observed operations in the Master File l

and discussed d'ocument retention and retrievability with members of the t

licensee staff to verify implimentation of the program.

No items of non-compliance were found in this area.

8.

Containment Integrated Leak Rate Test Report Review The inspectors reviewed the Reactor Containment Building Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT), comoared the licensee's test methods with ANSI N45.4, and reviewed the data and results. Also inspected was the Containment Vessel Integrated Leak Rate. Test Followup Report, dated January 27,1981, which

_.

.

.

discussed the resolution of problems identified in the original test.

Included in this supplemental repcrt were the results of retesting of the airlocks. Retesting of both airlocks was observed by the inspectors. As a

.

I result of review of the Followup Report, four inspector Followup Items related to add-on leakage and the airlock seals can be closed. These items are:

a.

(Closed) IFI - 79-29-02 b.

(Closed) IFI - 79-29-03 c.

(Closed) IFI - 80-23-01 d.

(Closed) IFI - 80-24-03 This review of the ILRT and airlock test results also closes license

'

i condition 2.c.(7).

9.

Fire Protection The inspectors reviewed all items remaining open in the areas of fire

<

protection as a part of their inspection of license condition 2.c.(10). The following items were reviewed for Unit 1 only, a.

(Closed) INF - 80-25-02 Inadequacies in construction welding procedures and implementation of those procedures. This item is closed for Unit 1 only, based on the fact that all welding in Unit 1 is now done by Steam Production craft, in accordance with the Steam Production welding procedure. The item remains applicable to Unit 2, and will be reviewed by a region-based inspector at a later date.

b.

(Closed) DEV-80-11-01 Substandard Spr'nkler Systems. Two items in this deviation remained open.

'

(I') 'Sprinklir' system drain iines'for' testing of' flow alarm devices-(2) Self indicating valves Both of these items were addressed in a letter from W. O. Parker to J. P. O'Reilly dated January 27, 1981.

For itam (1), this letter stated that test connections would be installed prior to full power, t

and that in the interim, lack of test connections did not effect system operation.

For item (2), the letter stated that the only non-indicating valves that could be changed were in an interim system, soon to be superceded. The licensee contended that work in this area was

,

therefore, unwarranted.

The Region II inspection staff found the

'

licensees response in both areas to be adequate.

Inspectors will follow up on installation of the test connections at a later date (Inspector Followup Item - 50-369/81-03-01) The deviation is closed, c.

(Closed) DEV-80-25-03 Inadequate fire barriers for duct shafts. NRR reviewed this item and found it adequate. This deviation is closed.

(Closed) URI-80-11-02 Battery powered emergency lighting in pump rooms.

NRR reviewed this item and found it adequate. This unresolved item is closed.

g.

(Closed) URI-80-25-05 Inadequate fire detectors in the fuel pool area.

The licensee has committed to install additional fire detectors over

.!

the new fuel vault and the center line of the spent fuel pool prior to j

receipt of the next shipment of new fuel. As an interim measure, the licensee has required the guard staff to use the security television

'

cimera to do a complete pan of the fuel pool building once per hour.

The licensee has indicated that the additional detectors should be installed within a few weeks. The inspectors will followup on instal-lation in a future report (Inspector Follow-up Item 50-369/81-03-02).

The Unresolved item is closed.

h.

(Closed) URI-80-25-06 Administrative Procedures. Two items related to this unresolved matter remained to be completed.

'

(1) Cutting and welding procedure. The inspector reviewed MP/0/B/

7650/09 CUTTING, WELDING, OPEN FLAME SAFETY to verify that it had been revised to include open flame safety.

(2) Reactor Building Fire Strategies.

The inspector reviewed the McGuire Nuclear Station FIRE PLAN AND RELATED STRATEGIES to verify that' a"new s~ectio'n' on the-Reactor Building had been ' incorporated

'

~

into the fire plan. This unresolved item is closed.

i.

(Closed) URI-80-37-01 Purchase of an air compressor to refill self-contained breathing apparatus. The licensee has made two commitments ;

(1) Prior to commercial operations, to purchase an air compressor and have it on site available for use.

(2)

In the interim, to have 80% of all bottles full and available at any given time. If bottles are used, they will be taken offsite, refilled, and returned. The inspectors will verify purchase of the air compressor at a later date (Inspector Followup Item

81-03-03). The unresolved item is closed.

.

j.

(Closed) IFI 80-37-02 Astragals on fire doors. The licensee's evalua

'

tion of the need for astragals on double fire doors resulted in their inst 111ation.

The inspector observed the new astragals in place on several fire doors. This item is closed.

The inspectors also reviewed licensee progress in all items remaining open on the table in Inspection Report 80-37. This table was extracted from the requirements of Supplement 2 to the Safety Evaluation Report, Appendix D and Table 9.5.1.

The numbers in parentheses refer to the number assigned the item in the original table.

(2A) Annulus sprinkler system -

(28) Pipe corridor sprinkler system -

For both of these items, the installed system does not match the SER. The annulus system is local manual rather than remote, and the pipe corridor system is remote manual rather than automatic.

As an interim measure, to satisfy the license condition, the licensee has opened the isolation valves for these systems, making both effectively automatic systems. With this temporary fix, the licensee cannot go to Mode 4.

If the licensee chooses to close the isolation valves to maintain containment integrity, he will:

assign operators, with no other duties, to the valves; and prepare procedures on the valve operation for operator use and inspector review. Final resolution of this problem will be made with NRR.

Thus, these items remain open.

(2C) RC Pump sprinklers -

(2D) Charcoal filter - lower containment sprinklers -

(3A) Pipe corridor hose stations -

(38) 725 ft and 738 ft RB hose stations The'se 'four items' ari al'hoin disagreement'with the SER. 'However,

~

~

'

these are not fuel load commitments.

They will be resolved by NRR, and remain open.

(9) Emergency lights - RHR pump room - Closed. See paragraph 9.f.

(14) Cable tray fire barriers / turbine AFWP instr. - Closed. Observed in i

j place by inspector.

(17) Fire wall - Nuclear service water pumps closed. Observed in place by inspector.

1.

Supplement 2 to the Safety Evaluation Report describes the licensee's commitment to have a procedure for taking the plant to hot shutdown in the event of a fire in the control room, cable spreading room, or battery rooms. The inspector observed the auxiliary shutdown panel and reviewed procedure AP/1/A/5500/17 " Loss of Control Room".

The inspector noted that the procedure included alternate actions dependent on the location and magnitude of the fire.

This item in the SER is

closed.

10.

Initial Fuel Load Core alterations began on January 28, 1981, and were completed February 2.

The inspectors, observed fuel handling. activities on all shifts; including,.

~

in the control ~ room,'~th'e' Reactor' building', and the spent fuel pool ' area.

'

The conduct of shif t turnovers, fueling crew composition, and operator familiarity with fueling activities were noted. The inspectors compared the core verification map to the procedure map after fuel loading was completed.

i No discrepancies were noted.

Procedures and logs were reviewed to verify completion of technical specifi-cation surveillance requirements. All changes to TP/1/A/2650/01 "Intial Fuel Load" were reviewed to verify proper completion of the licensee review process. The inspector noted that changes in the fuel crew were incorpo-rated as required by IE Circular 80-21. The procedure requires a licensed operator to be on the refuel floor, and a licensed individual to monitor source range indication. This circular is closed.

The inspector noted that due to recent changes in numbering of Technical Specifications and surveillance procedures, the original enclosure 13.11

" Surveillance items to be covered within seven days of fuel loading" had become outdated. In replacing the enclosure, the timing required for the surveillances was omitted.

A typographical error was carried through, calling for completion of a non-required surveillance.rather than the source

range channel check. However, knowledge of the surveillance requirements by those performing the test, and other systems for tracking the surveillance requirements got the required testing completed and documented.

The inspector discussed with the licensee the importance of having a test procedure accurately reflect the special test conditions of operation. The licensee committed to:

a.

Include accurate CORE ALTERNATIONS requirements in the procedure for refueling b.

Review the zero power test procedures to verify that special surveil-lance requirements are fully and accurately reflected in the proce-dures.

,

The licensee failed to meet a Technical Specification surveillance require-ment from January 28 - January 30 in that the licensee operations staff i

reported that containment integrity, for core alteration purposes, had been verified. This report was based on a review of systems removed from service rather than a valve line-up.

On January 30, 1981, the licensee realized that this review was not complete enough to verify containment integrity.

This represents a violation of Technical Specification 6.8.1, requiring written procedures to be established, implemented and maintained for

,

l surveillance activities of safety related equipment (Violation - 81-03-04).

Core alterations were suspended a procedure was prepared, and a valve line-up verification completed. It was discovered that 1-VX-40 and 1-VX-41,

!

containment air sampling valves, were open, and the pipe cap for the vent line was removed. This provided a leakage path via a leaking check valve l

from the containment.

This represents a violation of Technical l

Specification 3.9.4.c, which requires containment penetrations providing direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere to be either closed by valve,or blind flange.or to be exhausting through

'contaihment purge'.' -(Violation ' 81-05-05)2 'Both violations were identified

-

'

l to the NRC by the licensee.

11.

Review of TMI-2 Action Plan Items The following licensee actions from NuReg 0660 which were identified for completion prior to fuel loading, were reviewed by the inspectors:

a.

Shift Technical Advisors (Task I.A.1.1)

The inspectors verified that Station Directive 3.1.31 had been issued which established the duties, responsibilities and qualifications of the Shift Technical Advisor and verified the qualifications of the interim STA's and the training program content for the final STA's.

The inspectors find the program properly implemented and close item

Operator Training Program (Task I. A.2.1)

The fact that the operators, whose written exam did not include the additional section on heat transfer and thermodynamics, had received

,

special classes on these subjects was verified.

This verification

'

included a review of the attendance sheets for these classes as well as discussions with members of the class and instructors. The inspectors also reviewed the present operator course content and typical lesson plans.

Based on this review, this task action item is considered complete. (80-RD-37).

,

c.

Instructor Training (Task I.A.2.3)

Based on discussions with the licensee's training center management and instructors and on a review of training center records, the inspectors determined that (a) all systems instructors are either SRO licensed or have taken the SR0 exam, (b) the instructors are on distribution for all plant modifications and based on their review of these, changes are made to the simulator, (c) once the plant goes into operation, a program has been developed to rotate instructors into the plant for periods of time to gain actual operating experience.

They are also listed on the distribution for LER's and other material diseminated by the Onsite Safety Engineering Group. Based on this review the item is considered satisfactorily met and 80-RD-05 is closed.

d.

Shift Supervisor Duties and Responsibilities (Task I.A.1.2 and I.C.3)

The inspectors reviewed Station Directive 3.1.4, Revision 2, dated January 13, 1981, which defines the duties and responsibilities of the shift supervisor under normal and abnormal conditions.

Numerous operators and shift supervisors were interviewed to ascertain that

.

these it' ems 'sre al'so known' and practiced by the staff. The inspector' ~

~

~

w s

had no comments and consider these items as closed (80-RD-02 and 80-RD-07).

e.

Shif t Manning (Task I. A.1.3)

The inspectors verified that Station Directive 3.1.4,

" Conduct of

-

,

Operations", Revision 2 provides for a minimum shift crew composition

!

consistent with Section 22 of Supplement No. 4 to the McGuire FSAR.

The inspectors verified that crew composition during fuel loading operations was consistent with the commitments. This item (80-RD-03)

is considered closed.

f.

Management Review for NTOL Applicants (Task I.B.I.2)

The review of the licensee's management organi;:ation was performed in June 1980 and is discussed in IE Inspection Report 50-369/80-15 and Section 22 of Supplement No. 4 to the McGuire SER.

This item is consicered closed (80-RD-04).

.

g.

Shift Turnover Procedures (Task I.C.2)

The inspectors reviewed Station Directive 3.1.9, " Relief at Duties of Power Operation", Revision 6, dated January 13, 1981, which provides separate check lists for shift supervisor and operator turnovers. The usage of these lists was confirmed during the initial fuel loading and subsequent turnovers.

The system is considered implemented and item 80-RD-06 is closed.

,

b.

Control Room Access (Task I.C.4)

The limitations on who has access to the control room during normal operations, as well as in the event of an emergency, are defined in Station Directive 3.1.4, " Conduct of Operation". The presence of rope barriers was verified, and knowledge of who could authorize access in the control room was discussed with operators and supervisors.

The item, 80-RD-08, is considered closed.

1.

Feedback of Operating Experience (Task I.C.5)

The licensee's onsite safety engineering group was officially organized on January 21, 1981. Its composition, responsibilities, authority and reporting requirements are specified in a charter issued and approved by the Vice President Steam Production. The initial group of four members and a chairman began their new positions on January 26, 1981.

This item is considered closed - 80-RD-09.

J.

Verification of Operations Activities Related to the Safety of Nuclear Plants (Task I.C.6)

!

The. licensee. presently does r.ot..have procedures to r.equire double -

'

' verification ~ of ' valve or ' breaker " lineups ' when performing work on safety-related equipment or returning it to service.

Similar dual verification is also not required for the initial system lineups required by the licensee's operating procedures. At the exit meeting the licensee representative committed to provide the NRC, by February 9,1981, a scnedule for the issuance and implementation of dual verification procedures for equipment removal, equipment restoration, and initial system valve lineups.

Until the procedures have been reviewed and implementation verified,.this item (80-RD-38)

remains open.

k.

NSSS Vendor Review of Licensee Procedures (Task I.C.7)

The inspectors reviewed the letter from the NSSS vendor which stated l

that the initial fuel loading, initial criticality, and zero power physics test procedures had been reviewed and that they were

'

acceptable. Based on this letter, the item is considered closed for the duration of the present license, but a similar review of the plant's power ascension test procedures, and of its emergency (EP and

,

l

!

.

AP) procedures is required before a full power license is issued.

Item 80-RD-10 remains open.

1.

Control Room Design Review (Task I.D.1)

The licensee's preliminary control room design assessment was found acceptable in Section 22 of Supplement No. 4 to the McGuire SER. The inspector reviewed the assessment and noted that the recommended changes have been completed. Item 80-RD-39 is closed.

m.

Training During Low Power Testing (Task I.G.1)

The licensee submitted a low power special test program consisting of six tests.

The program, which is similar to that approved for North Anna Unit 2, was reviewed and found acceptable in Section 22 of Supplement No. 4 to the SER. Therefore, item 80-RD-11 is closed.

n.

Shielding to Allow Access to Vital Equipment (Task II.B.2)

In accordance with Duke Power Company commitments, as detailed in their

" Response to TMI Concerns", interim procedures have been written on how and where to sample and survey in the event highly activated coolant is present in the auxiliary building.

These interim procedures were reviewed by a regional inspector and found acceptable for fuel loading.

His specific comments were telephoned to the licensee for inclusion.

The regional inspector committed to rereview the procedures prior to initial criticality. Therefore item 80-RD-12 remains open.

o.

Post Accident Sampling Capabilit.ies (Task II.B.3)

The licensee has modified the original sampling procedure to contain a section 'on sampling highly' contaminated reactor coolant water. 'The l

procedure has been reviewed by regional inspectors who found it i

acceptable for fuel loading but requested some comments be incorporated prior to initial criticality. The regional inspector will followup on

,

'

this, and item 80-RD-13 remains open.

p.

Training in the Use of Installed Instruments for Inadequate Core Cooling (Task II.B.4)

~

The inspectors verified that all licensed operators had been given class room and simulator training on use of the incore thermocouple and T-SAT /P-SAT instrumentation, possible false indication of installed instrumentation in a degraded core mode, and plant procedures for detecting and correcting an inadequate core cooling situation.

inspector next reviewad Pacific Scientific letter dated December 19, 1980,

,

'

certifying that all mechanical shock arrestors had been tested and found

.'

acceptable prior to shipment to Grinnell for eventual shipment to the site.

Next PT/0/A/4200/06, " Inservice Visual Inspection of Safety-Related Snubbers", was reviewed to determine if all Mode 6 arrestors had been

!

examined.

Review of Structural Restraint Program i

a.

Review of Licensee Response to IE Bulletin 79-02

!

-

j The' licensee's memorandum'SRG-81M-0075, dated January 23, 1981,~1tsted

13 structural restraints which were changed because of anchor bolt installation which had original safety factors (SF) less than 4.0.

,

The inspectors reviewed the work packages for each of these restraints and found that the drawing for restraint MC-AA-3730(RO) had been marked

,

l

"No Structural or Hardware Changes between MC-1683-VI.22-R10(R6) and MC-AA-3730(RO)".

Contrary to this, an additional sway bar had been added when the drawing MC-AA-3730(RO) had been generated.

Based on this hand written note, no Q/C inspection was performed and the modifi-

,

!

cation was not made. This is a violation in that it is a failure to i

follow procedures affecting the quality of construction (Violation i-81-03-07).

I The licensee has taken the following corrective actions:

i

!

i (1)

the affected structural restraint drawing was corrected by having

the note deleted. The construction Q/C department, using the new j

drawing, verified proper installation after having the additional

sway restraint. installed. The inspector reviewed the final I

.

.

package on this restraint on January 26, 1981, and found it satisfactory.

(2) The construction Q/C department issued NCI Report 12,727 concerning inadequate verification of restraint installation.

This NCI was resolved by requesting that Design Engineering delete

the note from drawing MC-AA-3730(RO).

,

(3) The Design Engineering Department issued nonconformance DNC-0009.

This nonconformance was resolved by:

(a)

counseling the particular engineer on the need to perform adequate reviews prior to issuing drawings, (b)

reviewing all reanalyses performed since October 1980 which could have resulted in restraints being changed from typical to special designs. This group of reanalyses included Bellow Penetrations, LOCA Dynamic Loads, and LOCA Load /Mismatchs.

This group contained a large portion performed by the

" Alternate Analysis" method of reanalysis. This method used typical designs and could have lead to more changes in restraints from typical to special, (c)

establishing that all structural restraints being installed in Unit 2 are being done by using only special, " individual",

i designs.

l The inspector reviewed the licensee generated list of thirty-one structural restraints, and performed a detail review of nineteen.

>

The inspector also reviewed the thirty-one mathematical models used in the first two reanalyses.to ensure that the list of affseted 'structura1' restraints was complete.

The inspector's findings were satisfactory in both areas; items on the list and

,

l completeness of the list.

The licensee's actions with respect to this violation will be further

'

reviewed after acceptance of a satisfactory response. (Violation

!

81-03-07)

j b.

Review of IE Bulletin 79-14 Response l

The inspector reviewed twenty-two mathematical models for portions of the ND and NI systems in addition to the thirty-one models associated with the reanalyses discussed in paragraph 14.a.

The review included verification that the licensee had performed a system walkdown to confirm that tne restraints were installed in accordance with the

'

l mathematical model. Also, the formal licensee response to IE Bulletin 79-14, Revision 1, dated January 26, 1981 which, in Section 2, detailed the inaccessible hangers by system location and the basis for being declared inaccessible.

The inspector's findings were clear with respect to this Bulletin.

j 369/80-21, 370/80-16).

The licensee has issued a supplement to the later item, dated January 9, 1981 expanding the scope of the investi-

gation. The licensee issued a letter on January 28, 1981, stating that all action with respect to these reanalyses had been completed for all i

mode 6 systems. The inspector reviewed installation packages for the 137 structural restraints which were installed on Mode 6 systems and i

l which were affected by the reanalyses. This item'will stay open until the remaining restraints have been reviewed.
