Maintenance and Operations The scope of this inspection was to perform a preliminary assessment of the licensee's readiness for an operating license and to determine the j
appropriate time for further NRC inspections of operational reddiness.
'
Discussions were conducted with licensee representatives concerning the i
stritus of operating, surveillance test, maintenance, and calibration
programs and procedures, plant staffing, and preparations for phasing into operational status, j
The licensee's current schedule anticipates requesting an operating l
license by early May 1987.
It is intended that Unit 1 and Unit 2 staffs
!
be integrated into a single unit at the management level, ie a single
plant manager, operations manager, maintenance manager, etc.
However, at
'
the working level there will be separate staffs for Unit 1 and Unit 2.
The integration of the staffs is expected to take place approximately 90 days prior to fuel load.
J Currently work at Unit 2 is being accomplished under the Startup Manual I
(SUM).
The licensee stated that the requirements of the SUM were similar to the Unit 1 station administrative procedures (SAP's) so that the l
transition to the final operational organization would require little l
change from the pretent way of doing business. Unit 1 SAP's and Depart-i ment procedures would need some revision'to recognize Unit 2 since it is I
intended that Units 1 and 2 will be a common organization using the same
)
basic procedures.

The licensee stated that approximately 80% of the technical procedures required for operation have been issued.
Inspector review of the licensee's procedure index appears to confirm this.
Procedures are being used for equipment operation, testing, maintenance, and calibrations and procedure revisions are being made. However, there is no formal procedure validation program to ensure that all procedures will be used or tested.
Ad hoc groups have been formed for updating the SAP's and various depart-ment administrative manuals.
As noted above, although much progress appears to have taken place toward operational readiness, no firm plan has been established to assure that all programs required for a license will be in place.
For this reason, the licensee is establishing an operational readiness review team. The Unit 1 plant manager is temporarily relieved of his Unit 1 duties and is to head this team on a full time basis. The objective of this team is to examine all elements of readiness for operation and assure that programs and procedures needed for an operating license are in place. This team is scheduled to start its function by September 15, 1986.
Unit 2 is currently staffed by a combination of permanent staff, contractors, and temporary maintenance personnel. Most maintenance is performed by the Unit 2 maintenance organization.
The current maintenance staff used for testing and maintenance consists of 150 electricians and 23 millwrights for recair of pumps and valves.
Maintenance personnel are all temporary employees hired from the union halls on an as needed basis. The licensee stated that, in general, they will not become part of the Unit 2 permanent staff.
Permanent Unit 2 maintenance personnel are projected to come from Unit 1 and other licensee power plants.
Plant operators are being licensed on Unit 1, given a difference course between Units 1 and 2, and then assigned to Unit 2.
At a later date they will be l' censed on Unit 2.
Currently Unit 2 has 20 reactor operators, (R0's) 13 senior reactor operators (SRO's), and 34 non-licensed operators.
I&C is staffed with 22 technicians and 23 contractor personnel for support of the test program. Master contractor technicians will not remain after completion of the test program.
The remainder of the Unit 2 staff consists of a mixture of contractor and licensee employees.
Staffs will be integrated under a single station manager and a manager for each department.
The current Unit 1 manager is scheduled to become the station manager for both units.
The licensee's program and procedures for operations will be the subject of future NRC inspections.

QA/QC Interfaces Discussions were held with the station QA Manager concerning the planned QA/QC organization after operations and QA/QC interfaces with the current

o startup mode. The bulk of current QA activities is geared toward Unit 1 operations. At the same time that Unit I and Unit 2 plant organizations are combined, the QA organizations will also be combined. The operations QA manual is in the process of being revised to make it applicable to Unit 2.
QA and QC section procedures will not require any changes as a result of the integration of the two units as the methodology expressed in these procedures will be the same for both units.
The QA organization is not directly involved in Unit 2's program for operational readiness. QA does have a representative on the onsite safety committee (OSC) and will review changes to the station administrative procedures (SAP's). Department procedures and technical procedures are not routinely reviewed by QA. There is a system for placing inspection hold points in maintenance procedures.
There is also QC involvement in plant testing and coverage of plant maintenance activitics.
There are approximately 400 QC inspectors (contractors) involved in construction QC; however this activity will be phased out shortly. The remainder of construction QC will be absorbed by operations QC, In addition, the QA preservice and inservice inspection group is performing Unit 2 preservice inspections. QA surveillances are being performed for Unit 2 maintenance and testing activities.
-
QA'and QC procedures, organizations and activities for the Unit 2 operational phase will be the subject of future NRC inspections.
4.
Management Meetings Licensee management was informed of the scope and purpose of the inspection at an entrance interview conducted on September 2, 1986. The findings of the inspection were periodically discussed with licensee representatives during the course of the inspection. An exit interview was conducted on September 4, 1986 (see paragraph I for attendees) at which time the findings of the inspection were presented.
At no time during this inspection was written material concerning inspection findings provided to the licensee by the inspectors.
