2 Licensee Action on Previous Enforcement Matters (Closed) Violation 413/85-14-02: Failure to Adequately Review the Result of Data Obtained on Instrument Procedure IP/0/A/3710/08. The response to this item was submitted on June 28, 1985. The inspector reviewed this response and verified implementation of corrective actions and considers licensee action to be acceptabl (Closed) Violation 413/85-14-03: Failure to Meet Technical Specification 3.0.4 Requirements For RHR While In Mode 5. The response to this item was submitted on June 28, 1985. The inspector reviewed this response and verified implementation of corrective actions and considers licensee action to be acceptabl (Closed) Unresolved Item 414/85-21-01: Verification of Adequate Control of Hanger Installation. The licensee has evaluated each of the previously identified discrepancies and has shown each case to be technically insignifican The inspector previously reviewed these evaluations and considered them to be adequate. However, the inspector questioned whether the licensee had an adequate program to identify and correct hanger discrepancies caused after final QC inspection is complete. This damage can and does occasionally occur when personnel use these hangers to gain access to various component The inspector reviewed the licensee walkdown program described by Construction Procedure No. 864 and considers this program generally acceptable. The inspector questioned whether painters had received any special training to prevent damage as much as possible to hangers and to report damage if it does occur since painters do much of their work after final walkdowns are completed. The licensee indicated that previous training had been done but an additional training session would be conducted -

to reinforce this training. This training was accomplished on July 12, 1985 and was witnessed by the inspecto . Unresolved Items *

New unresolve~d items are identified in paragraph . Independent Inspection Effort (92706) (Units 1 and 2)

The inspectors conducted tours of various plant areas. During these tours, various plant conditions and activities were observed to determine that they were being performed in accordance with applicable requirements and procedures. No significant problems were identified during these tours and the various evolutions observed were being performed in accordance with applicable procedure "An Unresolved Item is a matter about which more information is required to determine whether it.is acceptable or may involve a violation or deviatio _. .

l Technical Specification Review (71301) (Unit 2)

The inspector reviewed the licensee proposed Technical Specifications to determine if connents needed to be forwarded to the NRC:NRR reviewer Verbal comments were forwarde The NRC reviewers met with licensee and Region II representatives at the site to acquire additional information relative to proposed change No violations or deviations were identifie . Fuel Recepit and Storage (605018) (Unit 2)

The inspector observed receipt in progress for the first three fuel shipments to verify that the licensee was meeting requirements of approved procedures and Materials License SNM-1949. Attributes considered in this review included personnel training, housekeeping / cleanliness control, health physics controls, security, receiving inspection (assemblies N23, N26, N27 and N56) and documentatio During this inspection the licensee informed the inspector that radiation monitors required by licensee submittal of June 20, 1984, page 7 were not operable. The licensee took compensatory action of placing two portable monitors in the fuel receipt are This was documented in licensee memorandum Cox/Canady dated July 12, 198 The inspector discussed this compensatory measure with the NRC safeguard representative who indicated this was technically acceptable actio No violations or deviations were identifie . Instrumentation (Cables and Terminations) - Observation of Work (52063C)

(Unit 2)

The inspector observed selected cables to determine if installation was in accordance with appropriate and approved procedures and specification This review included observation of routing, supports, protection, separation, identification of cables and raceways, raceway loading, and terminations. Cables observed were 2CA 845 (Auxiliary Feedwater Discharge Pressure), 2FW564 (RWST Level), 2NS 580 (Containment Pressure), 2CF513 (Steam Generator Narrow Range Level), 2NS551 (Containment Pressure) and 2NS604 (Containment Isolation).

The inspector questioned the licensee relative to separation of Cable N FW564 from heat tracing cable inside the instrument electrical box. The licensee indicated that an apparent discrepancy from specifications existed and wrote Nonconforming Item Report No. 19773. The licensee was requested to evaluate this item for significance and generic implications. This is Unresolved Item 414/85-25-01: Evaluation of Instrumentation Cable Separation Proble No violations or deviations were identifie ..

4 Comparison of As-built Plant to FSAR Description (37301) (Unit 2)

The inspector performed a walkdown inspection of the Auxiliary Feedwater System to determine if piping, valves, and instrumentation (including electrical control and logic) installation was in accordance with current flow diagrams and FSAR descriptions. System portions shown on Drawing Hos. CN 2592-1.0, CN 2592-1.1, CNEE 0215-01.33, CNEE 0247-02.01, 02, 03, 04,05, and CNEE 0247-04.17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 were observe The inspector reviewed electrical control and instrumentation logic only for the Chemical and Volume Control System to verify that this system met the FSAR descriptio No violations or deviations were identifie . Review of HVAC Duct Sealants (50100) (Units 1 and 2)

The inspector requested the licensee to provide assurance that sealant materials used in HVAC duct joints is environmentally qualified. The licensee informed the inspector that three types of sealants are use These are Tremco Type 440, Epichlorohydrin Gaskets Stock No. R473E and R475E by Rubatex Corp. , and Dow Corning Silastic 732 RTV. The inspector reviewed licensee documentation of environmental evaluation of these materials and considers licensee evaluation of these materials to be adequat No violations or deviations were identifie . Maintenance Observation (62703) (Unit 1)

Station maintenance activities of selected systems and components were observed / reviewed to ascertain that they were conducted in accordance with the requirements. The inspector verified licensee conformance to the requirements in the following areas of inspection: (1) that the activities were accomplished using approved procedures, and functional testing and/or calibrations were performed prior to returning components or systems to service; (2) quality control records were maintained; (3) that the activities performed were accomplished by qualified personnel; and (4) parts and materials used were properly certified. Work requests were reviewed to determined status of outstanding jobs and to assure that priority is assigned to safety-related equipment maintenance which may effect system performanc No violations or deviations were identifie . Surveillance Observation (61726) (Unit 1)

During the inspection period, the inspector verified plant operations were in compliance with various Technical Specifications requirements. Typical of these requirements were confirmation of compliance with the Technical Specifications for reactor coolant chemistry, refueling water tank, emergency power systems, safety injection, emergency safeguards systems, control room
