-17-Additionally, the Mrule Open Scoping Issue list contained 56 scoping issues, only 2 of which had been closed. Review of several of the open issues revealed that some had resolutions which appeared to close the item, but they were still shown as being open.

The majority of the issues appeared to deal with the question of whether certain structures or components, or their functions, should be included in the scope of the Maintenance Rule. The inspectors were able to ascertain that the list contained open scoping issues that dated back to at least July 2002.

Energy Northwest personnel initiated on September 23, 2004, Condition Report (CR) CR 2-04-05341 to review and evaluate the two conditions discussed above.

.3 Cross-References to Problem Identification and Resolution Findings Documented Elsewhere A problem identification and resolution crosscutting aspect was identified for actions needed to resolve individual conditions that had been transferred to the Mrule Open Scoping Issue list. This list is a non-proceduralized and uncontrolled document created as an aide to the Maintenance Rule Coordinator in an attempt to keep track of Maintenance Rule scoping questions requiring resolution (1R12).

Problem identification and resolution aspects were reviewed for the effectiveness of Energy Northwest's problem identification and resolution processes regarding exposure tracking, higher than planned exposure levels, and radiation worker practices. No findings of significance were identified (Section 2OS2).

4OA3 Event Followup (71153)

.1 July 30, 2004, Automatic Reactor Scram and Alert Declaration a. Inspection Scope On July 30, 2004, the inspectors observed and evaluated Energy Northwests response to an automatic reactor scram and Alert declaration which was made at 10:00 p.m. PDT.

The inspectors responded to the control room and verified the status of plant conditions by observing key plant parameters, annunciator status, and observing the current status of safety related mitigating equipment. The inspectors also observed reactor operator actions in response to the plant scram and senior reactor operators evaluation of plant conditions and oversight of the reactor operators. Following the declaration of the Alert, the inspectors relocated to the technical support center to observe Energy Northwests response to the event to ensure that actions taken were commensurate with established emergency implementing procedures and that technical support center staffs evaluation and assessment of plant conditions and emergency response was adequate. Energy Northwest subsequently terminated the Alert at 11:57 a.m. PDT after verifying that plant conditions were stable and that the initial criteria for which the Alert had been declared no longer were met. During a post event review, the inspectors reviewed operator logs, plant computer data, condition reports, and conducted interviews with plant employees to evaluate the appropriateness of operator actions and to verify plant response.
