i 2. Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings _ (Closed) Open Item (409/84012-01): Procedure No. ACP-04.1, Issue 10, l was in revision to incorporate qualified reviewer requirement. The [

inspector reviewed Procedure No. ACP-04.1, " Design and Facility Change j Control," Issue 11, and identified one concern: Paragraph 4.7 stated

,

'

j that the design, if not done by the LACBWR plant staff, shall have a 5

design verification performed by the LACBWR staff; however, no mention  !

l was made of design verification of designs completed by the LACBWR  !

l staff. This concern was discussed with the QA supervisor who agreed i

that the procedure, as worded, was somewhat ambiguous. A procedure  !

l change was initiated and approved on September 19, 1985. The inspector  :

I reviewed Issue 12 of Procedure No. ACP-04.1 and found it acceptabl I (Closed) Open Item (409/84012-03): Additional procedural changes and I

! ! preventive maintenance controls were required for circuit breaker i

! The inspector reviewed Procedures No. I&E-74-06, Issue 3, and  !

'

No. 18E-74-08, Issue 2, which were revised to include instructions I regarding breaker current transformer polarity checks and maintenance ['

checks for the auxiliary contacts. The inspector also reviewed the

! preventive maintenance program for circuit breakers and verified that i the following breakers were included: No. 74-76-011, IB Reactor

Feedwater Pump; No. 74-77-001,1A Off-gas Stack Blower; and .

! No. 74-77-025, IA Air Compressor Motor. The inspector had no further l j concern j i i t

! i 4 (Closed) 03en Item (409/84012-04): Incomplete documentary evidence of Safety Review Comittee (SRC) audit report reviews. The inspector reviewed the SRC minutes from October 26, 1984, to the presen Starting with the January 14, 1985, minutes, the SRC minutes have had a section titled " audits." In addition, the reference section lists  ;

i the report numbers of the audits that were reviewed. The inspector had t no further concern (Closed) Open Item (409/84012-05): Item 1-Procedure No. FPP-6.9, Issue 0, did not reference the required Technical Specification (TS)

Section. The inspector's review of Procedure No. FPP-6.9. Issue 1, 1 indicated that TS requirement 5.2.18.3(a) was referenced. Item 2-i Procedure No. FPP-6.9 did not include the minimum Halon bottle weight specified in TS 4.2.18.3(a). The inspector's review of the revised

'

procedure indicated that an acceptance criteria of a loss of greater i than 5% of the nameplate weight of the bottle requires refill. The inspector determined that this would be acceptable if the correct ~

,

'

Halon bottle was installed. Field verification indicated that the

!  ??O ;=rds of Halon met the TS requirement, item 3-Procedure No, j FPP-6.9 did not include a step which records the pressure of the

'

Halon bottle. The inspector's review of the revised procedure indicated that a new section was added to record the pressure. A chart giving temperature correction factors and acceptance criteria i were also added, t i (Closed) Open Item (409/84012-07): A torque wrench calibration program l

'

had not been developed. The inspector reviewed Procedure No. ACP-1 " Control of Measuring and Test Equipment," Issue 9, and found it an *

.

acceptable program. Inaddition,thepreventivemaintenance(PM)

l program was the tracking system used to ensure that the torque wrenches ,

j were recalled and calibrated on schedule and that the mechanical  ;

maintenance department had purchased a calibrated torque wrench and

'

.

trained a mechanic in its use. The inspector also verified that all l l the torque wrenches were included in the PM program and had been ,

!

calibrated on schedule. The inspector had no further concern (Closed) Open Item (409/85003-02): Agenda for SRC should include the  !

j nine items required by the Technical Specifications. The inspector's .

.

review of the SRC minutes from October 26, 1984, to present indicated  !

i that starting with the March 6, 1985, meeting, the nine TS items were

included in the agenda. The SRC minutes document this review by i

referencing the TS paragraph as part of the heading for each agenda i i item. The inspector had no further concern ;

(Closed) Open Item (409/85003-03)
No policy for approval of SRC audit  ;

checklists prior to use when audits are performed by others. The  !

inspector verified that there was no specific policy for prior approval i of the SRC audits which have been delegated to site QA; however, the

,

SRC chairman receives copies of all audit checklists prior to the start of the audit. Further, all SRC members receive a copy of the yearly ,

'

audit schedule. This allows the SRC chairman and members to communicate

.

their concerns or specific audit questions to QA. The inspector ,

reviewed transmittal memorandums for QA audits from QA to the chairman of the SRC dated May 15, April 11, and July 17, 1985. The inspector also reviewed correspondence from the SRC chairman and one of the members suggesting areas of concern for upcoming audits. The inspector l was satisfied that the SRC audit program was being properly controlle ,

! (Closed) Unresolved Item (409/85003-04): Qualifications of SRC personnei unEnown and not charted against requirements. The inspector reviewed a resume book and a matrix which charted the personnel qualifi- l cations of SRC members and alternates against the TS requirements and 1 found them acceptable.

! (Closed) Unresolved Item (409/83002-01): Interpretation of "to the

extent necessary", as it relates to procurement activities. The <

'

inspector determined that because the licensee was committed to ANSI i N18.7-1976, and through this standard to ANSI N45.2-1971, that "to i

the extent necessary" meant invoking specific requirements which meet l the intent of ANSI N45.2-1971 for safety-related systems. A sample  ;

of purchase orders for the reactor coolant pressure boundary, safe  :

shutdown systems, reactor protection, and emergency power system indicated that sufficient QA requirements were being imposed on l 1 vendor !

4 , Maintenance i The inspector verified that the licensee had implemented a written program ,

relative to maintenance activities that was in conformance with Technical  ;

Specifications, regulatory requirements, comitments and industry guides or  ;

standards. The following aspects of the maintenance program were reviewed [

during this inspection: corrective maintenance, equipment control, i l, preventive maintenance, special processes, cleanliness control, and L

housekeeping contro i l

' Inspection Results i i The inspector's review of the maintenance program indicated that the i written program was acceptable with one exception: The Quality  !

Assurance department does not review safety-related maintenance request !

This concern was discussed with the QA supervisor who indicated that he j assured compliance with the maintenance request procedure through audit ;

The inspector reviewed the 1984 operations audit which included the  !

. maintenance request system; however, this audit looked only at the  !

!

operations supervisor's duties relative to work requests. The inspector ,

- was concerned that the audit did not address important aspects of the 7 maintenance request program, such as (1) description of malfunctions;  ;

,

(2) documentation of work performed; (3) work instructions; (4) required ,

'

tests; (5) verification of LC0 and operating conditions; (6) approvals; (7) releases; (8) and independent verifications. This concern was -

discussed further with the QA supervisor who indicated that the work i request procedure was scheduled as part of the December 1985 operations ,

audit.and that the audit would document the review of maintenance  ;

requests in greater depth. Pending NRC review of this scheduled audit,

.

t l this matter is considered unresolved (409/85014-01(DRS)). l I

.

(4) ACP-17.4, " Compliance with 10 CFR Part 21," Issue f

!

The inspector selected a sample of safety-related purchase orders and {

!

verified that sufficient QA requirements were specified. This review t

,

was acceptable with one exception: A purchase order to the Foxboro  !

l Corporation for a pressure transmitter did not specify that [

10 CFR Part 21 was applicable. Because the transmitter's identifica- [

! tion number indicated that it was in safety channel No. 1, it met the  !

i Part 21 definition of basic component and Part 21 should have been }

specified. This item was discussed with the QA supervisor who indicated j that it was an oversight. Subsequent review of all purchase orders nade i to Foxboro proved this to be correct. Part 21 was specified in all other [

cases.

l The inspector's review of Procedure No. ACP-17.4 revealed one concern:

the paragraph that stated that Part 21 shall be specified on procure- i ments was based on a definition of significant safety hazard while  :

t Part 21, Paragraph 21.31, employs the term " basic component". This l

concern was discussed with the QA supervisor who agreed to revise the i procedure as necessary. Pending further NRC review, this item is considered open (409/85014-02).
