The inspection scope and findings were summarized on April 23, 1986, with those persons indicated in paragraph 1 above. The licensee did not identify as proprietary any of the materials provided to or reviewed by the inspector during this inspection.

~ Licensee Action on Previous Enforcement Matters This subject was not addressed in the inspectio > NUREG-0737 Items (TMI Action Plan, Units 1 and 2) (84523, 84524,' Unit 2)

The inspector reviewed licensee actions taken to meet the guidelines of NUREG-0737, Item II,B.3, " Post-accident Sampling Capability." Uni.t 2 post

accident sampling equipment had been installed andr preliminary testing of

equipment and instrumentation had been initiated. The inspector was informed that as a result of the preliminary testing, the l i cen see, 'had

,'

replaced a pH probe and several thermocouples and had found it necessary to recalibrate the flow totalizer. Testing is scheduled to be complete prior to exceeding 5% of full power. Liquid samples were recirculated through the Post Accident Liquid Sampling System (PALSS) during hot functional testing.

j These samples were analyzed for chloride, fluoride and boron content and results were within expected concentrations. Results were not compared to concurrent reactor coolant system samples for correlation; a licensee

}, representative stated that this would be done during the final

! preoperational testing to be accomplished prior to exceeding 5% power level.

The inspector also reviewed procedure PT/2/A/4208/08, Revision 0, dated January 10, 1986 (Periodic Test, Post Accident Liquid Sampling System),

which is to be used for preoperational tests and for subsequent periodic tests. The inspector determined that the procedure appeared to be adequate and had been reviewed and approved in accordance with the licensee's established criteri (0pened) Inspector Followup Item 50-414/86-19-01, Review results of testing of the Unit 2 Post Accident Liquid Sampling System (PALSS) and of the Post Accident Gaseous Sampling System (PAGSS), both to be completed prior to exceeding 5% full powe . Preoperational Testing Program for MC 2513 - Unit 2 (79501, 79502, 80521, 84523,84524,84525)

The inspector reviewed the results of past inspections and of the current inspection and determined that all of the items in the required modules had been inspected. While a number of inspector followup items had been identified, none were of a nature whic, would require delay of plant startup and progress toward resolution of each item had been satisfactory (See Section 6 of this report). Review of Inspector Followup Items (92701) Units 1 and 2

(0 pen) 50-413/85-50-01, 50-413/85-60-01 (IFI): Review effluent measurement procedures for inconsistencies, improved methodology, and improvement in QA programs to insure adequate effluent measurement A licensee representative stated that this item was scheduled to be completed by April 30, 1986; this item remains open. Progress has been satisfactor *

(0 pen) 50-413/85-50-02; 50-414/85-60-02 (SL-V): Failure to have adequate QA procedures to i r..,, h.me n t QA programs for effluent measurement A licensee representative stated that this item was scheduled for completion by the third quarter of CY 198 This violation remains open. Progress has been satisfactor (0 pen) 50-413/85-50-03; 50-414/85-60-03 (IFI): Review evaluation of alpha / beta and beta / gamma performance check biase A licensee representative stated that a vendor had contracted to perform the evaluation and that the licensee was waiting for completion of the evaluatio This item remains open. Progress has been satisfactor (0 pen) 50-413/85-50-04; 50-414/85-60-04 (IFI): Review licensee iron-55 analysis of NRC spiked sample __ __

A licensee representative stated that a spiked sample had been

requested from NRC but had not been received. The inspector contacted the Region II laboratory and informed the licensee that the spiked sample should be delivered approximately June 15, 1986. This item remains ope Progress has been satisfactor ;

(Closed) 50-413/35-50-05; 50-414/85-60-05 (IFI): Review calibration and QA' data required for operation of whole-body counter "FASTSCAN" system.'

A licensee representative stated that a procedure had been prepared and ,

approved for graphic trending of gross background counts from each '

. detector. Trending enables prompt identification of significant departures from the norm. A second procedure had been prepared and f approved incorporating methodology to plot and tabularize ef ficiency and energy data for each geometry used. A licensee representative also stated that the REMCAL phantom previously used in whole body counter calibration had been replaced with an ORTEC phantom and that testing had shown close correlation to pmdicted value The inspector ,

informed the licensee that this item was considered close '

'all power reactor i The inspector discussed this unresolved . item with the plant health '

j physicist assigned to resolve this item. 'An empirical test program had been established to quantify losses of gaseous form todine using the Unit 1 vent monitoring system and a number of tests had been run using various filtration media to establish an acceptably representative sampl A weekly sampling and analysis program had been started in' . l early April 1986 to accumulate sufficient data point The test "

program has been impacted by the demands of the Unit 2 startup effort and no definitive date has been established for completion. This item remains ope Progress has been satisfa_ctor '
