Operational Safety Verification (71707)
a.
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 periods.
b.
On April 8,1988 at 2:00 p.m., with the plant in mode 1,100% power, the licensee identified two unsealed core drills.
The unsealed 2" core drills contained 1 1/2" diameter lighting conduit that penetrated the north wall of the control building at the 422 foot elevation.
The two core drills were installed under field change

request 8-13, 855C on October 8,1981, were inspected by Quality Control, and are listed on the E412 plant drawings.
These penetrations should have been sealed under the Bisco Program when the conduits were installed.
The modifications group identified this problem on April 8,1988.
They notified operations who immediately initiated a priority 1
maintenance work request.
Non-conformance notice 2946 was written and the penetrations were sealed with 5" of foam on April 18, 1988, in accordance with detail "A" in drawing E-201-240 and approved site procedures.
Further inspections identified no other unsealed penetrations.
The failure to identify this problem is contrary to the requirements of Quality Control inspection procedures and the licensee fire protection arogram.
The NRC wishes to encourage and support licensee initiatives for self-identification and prompt correction of problems.
Since this item meets the applicable guidance of NRC enforcement policies for licensee identified items, contained in 10 CFR 2, Appendix "C", no violation will be issued.
>
The licensee is currently preparing a LER for submission on this item.
c.
On April 26, 1988, at approximately 5:35 a.m. with the plant in Mode 1, operations personnel tagged out the Fire Service CO2 System in The Relay Room, in order to perform a Surveillance Test Procedure (STP)
128.331.
TS 3.7.9.3, relay room, requires that with the low pressure CO system inoperable, within one hour establish a continuous fire
watch with backup fire suppression equipment.
The licensee discovered the discrepancy at 7:28 a.m. and then established the continuous fire watch with backup fire suppression equipment.
The failure to establish a continuous fire watch within the hour as described above is a violation, "Failure to take adequate compensatory action for inoperable fire protection equipment",
50-395/88-10-01.
Although, the licensee identified the violation and took prompt corrective action, this is a repetitive event.
A similar violation was identified in Inspection Report No. 50-395/87-24.
One violation was identified as discussed in paragraph c. above.
7.
ESF System Walkdown (71710)
The inspectors performed a walkdown of the Emergency Operoting Procedure for Control Room Evacuation (EOP-8) and the General Operating Procedure for plant shutdown from hot standby to cold shutdown with the control room inaccessible (GOP-8).
All emergency tool kits were inventoried and all local station procedures were verified to be control copies of the latest revision.
The inspectors verified that equipment listed in the procedures were identified with labels and that a licensed operator was able to locate all components and equipment.
A listing of minor procedural

deficiencies, missing tags and labels, and suggested human factors improvements were provided to the licensee for correction.
The inspectors will verify in subsequent inspections that these items are corrected.
The inspectors noted that these were lengthy procedures that require good coordination and team work to successfully accomplish under actual conditions.
These procedures are covered in classroom as part of the requalification training program, however, no actual plant walk thru's are sci.eduled or required for these events.
In view of the above it was suggested that the licensee evaluate the present training conducted in this area.
No violations or deviations were identified.
8.
Onsite Followup of Events and Subsequent Written Reports (92700,93702)
The ins)ectors reviewed the following Licensee Event Report (LER) to ascertain whether the licensee's review, corrective action and resort of
!
the identified event or deficiency was in conformance with regu atory requirements, TS, license conditions, and licensee procedures and controls.
Based upon this review the following items are closed.
LER 87-18 Fire protection surveillance non-compliance; personnel error and lack of procedural guidance No violations or deviations were identified.
9.
Onsite Review Committee (40700)
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's program for the Onsite Review Committee to verify that it met the requirements of TS Section 6.5, the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) and the licensee's Quality Assurance Plan.
The requirements of the above are implemented by the licensee in Station Administrative Procedure, Plant Safety Review Committee (SAP 120).
In addition, to the above, the inspectors reviewed the minutes of the last 6 Plant Safety Review Committee (PSRC) meetings,10 recent off-normal
,
occurrences, 15 plant administrative procedures, a sampling of TS violations for the past year, the lifted lead jumper and bypass authorization log, and attended the PSRC meeting conducted on April 20, 1988 to verify that this committee was fulfilling the requirements of TS and other stated commitments.
Their review indicated that plant off-normal events which have safety significance are reviewed by the PSRC to fnsure that immediate corrective action is implemented to place the plant in a safe condition, that the root cause is determined, the event is reported if required and that long term corrective action is taken to prevent recurrence.
Attendance of the PSRC meeting and a review of the minutes of past meetings indicate that a quorum is present at meetings and i
that the PSRC reviews changes to the security and emergency plan, plant modifications, non-conformances, off-normal occurrences, and procedural
