Operational Safety Verification , The inspector observed control room operations, reviewed aoplicable logs , ! and conducted discussions with control room-operators.

The inspector l verified the operability of selected emergency systems, reviewed tagout ' l records and verified proper return to service of affected components.

Tours of the crib house, reactor building, and turbine building were conducted to observe plant equipment conditions, including potential fire , hazards, and fluid leaks, and to verify that maintenance requests had.- l been initiated for equipment in need of maintenance.

By observation and [ j direct interview the inspector verified that the physical security plan ' was being implemented in accordance with the station security. plan.

The inspector observed plant housekeeping / cleanliness con'ditions and ! verified implementation of radiation protection controls.

Tne ' i r specto r-

walked down the accessible portions of the High Pressure Service Water-System, and Fire Protection System to verify operability.

'I No violations were identified.

-l l S.

Monthly Maintenance Observation .! I i Station maintenance activities of selected systems and components were ! ' observed / reviewed to ascertain that they were conducted in accordance with approved procedures, regulatory guides and industry codes or j l standards and in conformance with technical specifications.

The following items were considered during this review: approvals were obtained prior to initiating the work; activities were accomplished using I approved procedures and were inspected as applicable; functional testing ) and/or calibrations were performed prior to returning components or i systems to service; quality control records were maintained; activities

were accomplished by qualified personnel; parts'and materials used were { properly certified; radiological controls were implemented; and, fire l prevention controls were implemented.

' , Work requests were reviewed to determine status of outstanding.iobs.'and to assure that priority was assigned to the maintenance of SAF M R equipment which could affect system performance.

No violations were identified, l 6.

Monthly Surveillance Observation j The inspector reviewed the licensees surveillance program-to assure that TS required surveillance were in their program, that the surveillance ~- ! had been. performed, and test records were available.

I u The licensee has reviewed the surveillance program in light of their- -] current SAFSTOR status and has proposed removing those tests not needed

j in Operating Condition 4, i.e., -for systems such as the Control Rods and

Safety System, the Emergency Service Water Supply System, Reactor d Pressure and Power Instrumentation, High Pressure Core Spray and Boron j ' Systems, Alternate Core Spray (not including the backup fire protection i portion). These changes were reviewed and approved by the Operations l Review Committee and the Safety Review Committee and have been submitted as a proposed TS amendment.

j $ No violations were identified.

Licensee Event Follow-up j )

Through direct observations, discussion with licensee personnel, and ) review of records, the following event report was reviewed to determine { that deportability requirements were fulfilled, immediate corrective i actions were accomplished, and corrective actions to prevent recurrence j had been accomplished in accordance with technical specifications.. ' ] (Closed)LER87-06: Containment Ventilation Isolation Due to a ' Containment Building Delayed Particulate Monitor Spurious Trip. Cause of.

the trip was not determined.

Isolation.of the containment building has no safety significance as the LACRWR containment is continuously vented i and short periods of isolation have negligible effects.

8.

TMI Open Items The following TMI Open Items are no longer of concern at LACBWR due to the permanent shutdown and are administratively closed: 1.C.1.2.8 Revise Short-Term Accident Procedure I.C.1.3.B Revise Transient and Accident Procedure.

w II.F.1.2 B.2 Implementation.of Accident-Monitoring 9.

Organization and Administration The licensee has reduced the manpower at LACBWR by about fifty percent (40 persons). A proposed license amendment will be submitted to reduce TS manpower requirements but for now the licensee maintains the manpower ' l requirements for Operational Condition 4, Cold Shutdown with one supervisor (SRO), one licensed operator and one auxiliary operator per shift.

Shiftwise health physics coverage.is also being maintained and security forces meet' Security Plan requirements.

No violations were identified.

10.

Review and Audits .On September 21, 1987, the inspector attended the Safety Review Committee (SRC) meeting..The inspector verified that provisions of technical specifications dealing with membership,. review process, frequency, and qualifications were met'. The inspector also verified, - that decisions made were reflected'in the meeting minutes and that corrective actions proposed were taken.

The SRC reviewed audits performed since the last inspection, the - proposed security and emergency plans, and proposed TS changes for the SAFSTOR - mode. The proposed Decommissioning Plan is scheduled for review at the next SRC meeting on December 1, 1987.. No violations were identified.

i 11.

Exit Interview ' The inspector met with licensee' representatives (denoted in Paragraph 1) throughout the inspection period and at the conclusion of the inspection-and summarized the scope and findings of the inspection activities.
