Monthly Maintenance Observation (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 aapropriate industry codes and standards.
The inspectors also determined t1at the procedures used were adequate to control the activity, l.and that these activities were accomplished by cualified personne The inspectors independently verified that equ pment was properly tested before being returned to service.
Additionally, the inspectors reviewed several outstanding job orders to determine that the licensee was giving ariority to safety related maintenance and a backlog which micht affec; its performance was not developing on a given system.
The fo' lowing specific maintenance activities were observed:

Operational Safety Verification (71707)
'
a.
The inspectors toured the control room, reviewed 31 ant logs, records and held discussions with plant staff personnel
- o verify that the plant was bein operated safely and in conformance with applicable requirements.
cific items inspected in the control room included:
adequacy of sta fing 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, ccmputer printouts and annunciators.
Tours,of other plant areas were conducted to verify equipment o)erability, control of ignition sources and combustible materials, tie condition of fire de ecticn and extinguishing equipment the control of maintenance and surveillance activities in progres,s, the implementation of radiation protective controls and the physical security plan.
Tours were conducted during normal and random off hour periods, b.
The inspectors reviewed ifcensee nonconformance notices 2929, 2930, i
2319 dispositions 1 and 2, 2926 and 2933 to verify that the
associated deficiencies were properly documented, reviewed for reportability and correctly dispositioned.
This review indicates that the above were reviewed for reportability and a 10 CFR 50.59
'
evaluation was performed when required.
No discrepancies were identified in the above reviews.
The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's Quality Assurance Finding Trend Analysis Report dated January 28, 1988 and Nuclear Quality Control Biannual Trend Report dated February 18 1988.
These reports were developed and provided to management to dlrect their attention to positive and negative trends that are occurring in their areas of
'
responsibility.
The most significant negative trend identified in
'
the above reports, was in the areas of procedural violations.
Discussions with plant management indicates that additional management and supervisory attention has been directed to this area
'
and that this item will be closely monitored for any further adverse trend.
No violations or deviations were identified.

ESF System Walkdown (71710)
The inspectors verified the operability of an engineered safety features (ESF) system by performing a walkdown of the accessible portions of the Residual Heat Removal System.
The inspectors confirmed that the licensee's system lineu as-built configuration. p procedures matched plant drawings and theThe inspect and items that might degrade performance (hangers and supports were operable, housekeeping, etc.) and inspected the interiors of electrical andinstrumentationcabinetsfordebris,loosematerial, jumpers, evidence of rodents, etc.
The inspectors verified that valves, including instrumentation isolation valves, were in proper aosition, power was available and valves were locked as appropriate.
