The inspector' also interviewed other licensee personnel during the course of the inspectio * Denotes those attending exit interviews during the' inspection perio . General The La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) was permanently shutdown on

' April 30, 1987 by authorization of the Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC)

Board. The operating License was changed to a possession-only license by Amendment No. 56, dated August 4, 1987. The reactor is defueled with water in the primary system and is considered to be in Operating Condition 4 (Cold Shutdown) until Technical Specifications (TS) changes are made or the Decommissioning Plan TS are accepte Minimum TS staffing requirements for Condition 4, a Shift Supervisor, a licensed Reactor Operator and an Auxiliary Operator, are being met by utilizing experienced maintenance personnel who have completed Auxiliary Operator (AO) training and have been certified as A0 On January 4, 1988, Amendment No. 58 to the provisional license revising the Technical Specifications was issued. This amendment reduces the fire brigade from five members to three, reassigr s fire brigade training from the Mechanical Engineer to a qualified Technical Support Engineer, deletes the position of Training Supervisor and reassigns training program responsibilities to a qualified Shift Supervisor, changes the Operations Review Committee membership due to the reduction in staff, and changes the Facility Organization Char In an organizational change on January 4,1988, the Quality Assurance Department, which formerly reported to the LACBWR Plant Superintendent, now reports to the Assistant General Manager for Operations. The department, consisting of the Quality Assurance Director and four QA/QC Technicians, will devote approximately fifty percent of their effort to the LACBWR program On December 21, 1987, DPC submitted their proposed Decommissioning Plan, the preliminary Decontamination Plan, and a supplement to the Environmental Report. The new TS for SAFSTOR will be submitted separately in February 198 . . _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ - _ _ _ - _

v Demineralized water flushes of reactor systems continues. The forced circulation systems are started and flushed periodically. Flushing of

.the 4500 gallon waste tank has been stopped until a more_ productive method can be-develope A temporary plastic' cover has been installed'over the Fuel. Element Storage Well-(FESW) to help reduce the low-level surface contamination on the refueling deck. Previous levels in the 50k-60k cpm range near the FESW have been reduced to near 7k cpm and the number of personnel contaminations were reduced from 34 in December 1987 to 14 in January

'198 . Licensee Actions on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Open Item 409/85013-08: Licensee committed to installing an area-wide fire detection system in the control room. The licensee has installed and tested three fire detectors in the control room and three in the adjacent office area. This work was completed under Facility Change No. 06-87-24 and Maintenance Request 307-87-06.

Operational Safety Verification The inspector reviewed applicable logs and conducted discussions with control room operators. The inspector verified the operability of !

selected emergency systems, reviewed tagout 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 been initiated for equipment in need of maintenance. By observation and direct interview the inspector verified that the physical security plan was being implemented in accordance with the station security pla The inspector observed plant housekeeping / cleanliness conditions and verified implementation of radiation protection controls. The inspector walked down portions of the High Pressure Service Water System, and Fire Protection System to verify operabilit ,

r No violations were identifie . Monthly Maintenance Observation 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 standards and in conformance with technical specification The following items were considered during this review: approvals were obtained prior to initiating the work; activities were accomplished using apnroved 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 prevention controls were implemente Work requests were reviewed to determine status of outstanding jobs and to assure that priority was assigned to the maintenance of SAFSTOR equipment which could affect plant safet No violations were identifie . Monthly Surveillance Observation The inspector reviewed the licensee's surveillance program to~ assure that required surveillances had been performed and test records were availabl The licensee has reviewed the surveillance program in light of their shutdown status and has stopped performing those tests on instruments and equipment not needed for TS Operating Condition 4. Surveillances on systems such as the Control Rods and Safety System, the Emergency Service Water Supply System, Reactor Pressure and Power Instrumentation, High Pressure Core Spray and Boron Systems, Alternate Core Spray (not including the backup fire protection portion) are no longer performe The licensee has submitted a proposed amendment to delete these systems from the T .The inspector observed the semiannual fire detector testing conducted on December'7, 198 No violations were identifie . Quality Assurance Program (QAp)

The inspector reviewed the licensees organization and management controls for implementing their quality assurance program, as described, in their Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD),

Revision 5, dated December 21, 198 This QAPD revision, submitted af ter the LACBWR Provisional Operating License was changed to a possession-only mode of operation, modifies the plan to acknowledge the change to a possession-only license with the significant reduction in potential risks to the health and safety of the public. The modifications include deletion of references to an operational plant status, safety related systems, inservice inspections, and physics testing. The QAPO still addresses all 18 criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix The following documents were reviewed:

Operating Manual Procedures have been reviewed and updated periodicall Procedures for many systems which are no longer in use are being retained

,

in' case the systems need future modifications or valve line-up changes needed for system flushing. The periodic reviews and procedure updsbes have been processed in accordance with the ACP-06.3, and reviewed by the Operations Review Committee following ACP-02.13. A review of the Temporary Change Log indicated only six temporary changes processed in 1987 as compared to 44 in 1986. The' changes have been processed in accordance with ACP-0 The inspector noted that many Instrument and Electrical Procedures were due for their two year review. The licensee stated that these procedures were currently being processed and that those procedures no longer needed, due to the permanent shutdown, would be removed from the system, but a master set would be retained in records for possible future use The above procedure systems appear to be maintained in accordance with TS and ACP requirement No violations were identifie . Exit Interview The inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in Paragraph 1)

throughout the inspection period and at the conclusion of the inspection summarized the scope and findings of the inspection activities. The licensee acknowledged the findings as reported herein and did not identify such documents or processes as proprietary.
