- Attended exit interview 2.
Exit Interview The inspection scope and findings were summarized on October 1,1981 with those persons indicated in paragraph I above. The inspector noted that the.
l preoperational testing status and the completion of the radwaste systems did -
not appear to be consistent with the current fuel load date. The inspector also discussed the status of health physics and effluent control procedures and the need to complete these in a timely manner.

Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings Not inspected.
4.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspection.
5.
. Radioactive Waste Systems Installatico a.
FSAR Sectior.s 11.2,11.3 and 11.4 describe the liquid, gaserus and solid radwaste systems, respective!y.
Included in the FSAR descrip-tions are the principal components *n each of the systems.
b.
The inspector toured the Radwaste Building and areas of the Unit 1 Turbine Building and oF served the installation.of the three systems.
The inspector verifiea that the major system components (tanks, pumps,
,
.
evaporators, recombiners charcoal beds, filters, etc.) as described in the FSAR sections and as. shown in the plant layout drawings in FSAR Section 1.2.
The inspector also observed that the installation of portions of the systems is incemplete although the major components are in-place.
c.
The inspector noted that the solid waste compactor (baler) is not
,
enclosed and the exhaust system discharges immediately next to the unit. Neither of these conditions represents good radiological prac-tices. A licensee representative acknoi-dged this and informed the inspector that a new compactor was being procured which 'is contained with better exhaust ventilation.
The inspector had no further questions pending installation of the new compactor.
6.
Licensee Action on Inspector Followup Items (Closed) (81-26-01) Area Radiation Monitoring System.
This item was
'
originally discussed in RII Rpt. No. 50-416181-26, paragraph 8.c and dealt with a difference between the instrument re.,ge of two monitors and FSAR Table 12.3-3. -Amendment 49 to the FSAR revised Table 12.3-3 to correct the instrument range and to include two monitors which were not previously listed.
The inspector compared Table 12.3-3 with the installed modules in the control room and had no further questions.
This item is closed.
7.
pre Operational Test Procedures a.
FSAR Section 14.2 describes the construction, preoperational and startuo test program.
FSAR Sections 14.2.12.1.40 and 14.2.12.1.41 describe the preoperational tests for the liquid radwaste 'and solid radwaste systems, respectively. The actual testing is covered by two or more test procedures.
b.
The inspector discussed the status of the test procedures with the cognizant plant supervisor.
The inspector was informed that the procedures have been written but have not been approved. The inspector stated that the procedures and testing will be reviewed during subse-quent inspections.
t 8.
Effluent and Process Monitors a.
FSAR Section 11.5 and Table 11.5.1 describe the process and effluent
radioactivity monitoring systems. The inspector observed the panels in the control room and determined that the modules had the specified i
range, the requisite number of channels, the specified alarms and trip
lights and annunciator windows. Two process monitor modules (offgas
pretreatment and carbon bed vault) were removed from the panels at the
!
time of the inspection. The inspector had no question concerning the i
insta? led modules. '

b.
The inspector observed the installation of the liquid effluent monitor (RE N106). The inspector noted that the sample line from the discharge pipe to the monitor was approximately 25 feet. This distance, coupled with the response time of the monitor prior to initiating closure of the automatic isolation valve, could result in a significant release of out of specification water.
This was discussed with the cognizant supervisor, who stated that this would be reviewed. (81-38-01)
9.
Fuel Receipt a.
During the inspection, the licensee received the first shipment of nuclear fuel.
The inspector observed the licensee's practices in conducting arrival. surveys, establishing control areas around the fuel and health physics practices.
The inspector noted one minor problem with the radioactive material control form prepared by the licensee; this was acknowledged by the cognizant supervisor, who initiated action to clarify the form data.
b.
The fuel license (SNM-1882) requires that the licensee comply with the application. The license application stated that radiation protection procedure would be prepared and followed. The inspector revie,ved eight health physics procedures applicable to the fuel receipt and provided comments to the cognizant supervisor.
The supervisor acknowledged these comments and stated that they would be corrected. The inspector had no further questions.
