The inspection scope and findings were summarized on March 2, 1987, with those persons indicated in paragraph 1 above. The inspectors described the areas inspected and discussed the inspection findings. The licensee did not identify as proprietary any of the materials provided to or reviewed by the inspectors during the inspectio . Licensee Action on Previous inspection Findings (92701, 92702)

(Closed) Violation 86-13-01, Failure to perform hourly fire watch patrol. The licensee provided a written response to this violation in a letter to Region II, dated September 5, 1986. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's response and corrective actions implemented to prevent recurrence. Followup inspections by the resident inspectors indicated that this item has been adeauataly addressed and resolved.

MonthlyMaintenanceObservation(62703)

The inspectors observed maintenance activities of safety related systems and components to ascertain that these activities were conducted in accordance with approved procedures, TS and appropriate industry codes and standards. The inspectors also determined that the procedures used were adequate to control the activity, and that these activities ware accomplished by - qualified personne The inspectors independently verified that equipment was properly tested before being returned to servic Additionally, the inspectors reviewed -severa1 ' outstanding job orders to determine that the licensee was giving priority to safety related maintenance and a backlog which might affect its performance was not developing on a given system. The following specific maintenance activities were observed:

MWR 8750022 Investigate and repair door 304A, in the RCA MWR 8601858 Repair diesel fire pump exhaust system

MWR 20789002 ~ Perform wiring changes for modification.of service water pump speed switches MWR 317380017 Perform modifications to lock service water pump speed switches in high speed MWR 10723004 Install tubing, valves, mounting brackets, and flow indicator IFI 04587, in service water system MWR 85T0268 Change carbon in XAA 0021B canister MWR 87I0048 Investigate and repair.RM-A4 radiation monitor The inspectors, while observing the performance of maintenance activities during the month, noted the increased use of contractor personnel in the performance of these activitie Since these contractor personnel were performing basically the same type functions as members of the plant maintenance staff, the inspector decided to review the applicable procedures that govern the activities performed by these contracted personne A review of the resumes and documented training for two contractors, Primesouth and. Daniel Construction Corporation indicated that their presently assigned personnel are adequately qualified for their assigned tasks. However, numerous administrative errors were found in individual resumes and training record It was additionally noted that the administrative procedures which will govern Primescuth's activities are still in the developmental stage After discussing these deficiencies with the licensee, they agreed to immediately review the training records and resumes of all affected personne They additionally agreed to insure that individual record deficiencies would be cleared before the affected individuals are allowed to perform further work on safety related installation The licensee has committed to correcting all record discrepancies and implementing the administrative procedures for primesouth by March 13, 198 This item will be tracked by the inspector as an inspector followup item " Contractor Training Records ",

(87-04-01), until the corrective action is complete No violations or deviations were identifie . Operational Safety Verification (71707)

The inspectors toured the control room, reviewed plant logs, records and held discussions with plant staff personnel to verify that the plant was ' being operated safely and in conformance with applicable requirements. Specific items inspected in the control room included:

adequacy of staffing and attentiveness of control room personnel; TS and procedural adherence; operability of equipment and indicated control room status; control room logs, tagout books, operating orders, jumper / bypass controls; computer printouts and annunciators.

Tours of other plant areas were conducted to verify equipment operability; control of ignition sources and combustible materials; the condition of fire detection and extinguishing equipment; the control of maintenance and surveillance activities in progress; the implementation of radiation protective controls and the physical security. plan. Tours were conducted during normal and random off hour period On February 16, 1987, the licensee identified that the Pressurizer Relief Tank (PRT) had been vented to the shutdown waste gas decay tank since November,1986, due to pressurizer safety valve leakage into the PR Due to an inadequate procedure, Health Physics was not notified and the surveillance requirements of Technical Specification (TS) 3.11.2.6, was not performed. This surveillance requires that the quantity of radioactive material contained in each gas storage tank be determined to be equal to or less than 160,000 curies of noble gas at least once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, when radioactive material is being added to the tan The licensee, upon discovery of this item, immediately performed the required surveillance and determined that the radioactive material in the applicable tank was well below the prescribed TS limits. A special instruction, PRT Venting and Pressure Control, SI 87-12, was issued by operations on February 17, 1987, to prevent recurrence of this even The licensee is additionally reviewing and making the necessary changes to the procedures that allowed this event to occu A review of the Reactor Coolant System chemistry and levels of radiation present in discharges to the shutdown waste gas decay tanks that have occurred since discovery of this item indicate the maximum level of radioactive material that could have been contair.ed in the tank during the time between venting the PRT to the waste gas decay tanks and their subsequent release was well below the applicable TS limi The licensee is currently preparing LER on this ite Since the NRC wants to encourage and support licensee initiative for self-identification and correction of problems, and since this item meets the applicable guidance of NRC enforcement policy for licensee identified items contained in 10 CFR 2, Appendix C, no violation will be issued for this ite No violations or deviations were identifie . Onsite Followup of Events and Subsequent Written Reports (92700,93713,93702)

The inspectors reviewed the following Licensee Event Reports (LER's) and Special Procedures Reports (SPR's) to ascertain whether the licensee's review, corrective action and report of the identified event or deficiency was in conformance with regulatory requirements, technical specifications, license conditions, and licensee procedures and controls. Based upon this review the following items are closed.

Refueling Activities (60710)

The inspectors reviewed licensee progress to ascertain whether-pre-refueling activities specified in the Technical Specifications (TS)

-have been completed and whether refueling activities are being conducted as required by TS or approved procedures. Specifically, the inspectors (1) ' verified that al1~ surveillance testing required by the TS and licensee procedures for fuel handlin handling of fuel in the core, and (2)gverified is beingthat completed priortesting the periodic to the of refueling related equipment is being performed as required by TS or licensee administrative procedures. The performance of the following procedures were observed during the receipt of new fuel for the upcoming refueling outage:

FHP 607 Unpacking and handling of new fuel assemblies and shipping containers FHP 605 Receipt of new fuel and control components FHP 602 Limitations and precautions for handling new and partially spent fuel assemblies HPP 407 Controls for receipt of new fuel HPP 158 Contamination control for areas equipment and materials HPP 160 Controls and posting of radiation zones HPP 157 Personnel monitoring for contamination No violation or deviations were identified.
