3.
Licensee Action on Previous Enforcement Matters Not inspected.
4.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspection.
5.
Plant Shutdown Inspection The inspectors kept themselves informed on a daily basis of the overall plant status and any significant safety matters related to plant conditions.
Daily discussions were held with plant management and various members of the plant operating staff.
The inspectors made frequent visits to the control room such that it was visited at least daily when an inspector was on site. Observations included instrument readings; setpoints and recordings; status of emergency standby systems; purpose of temporary tags on equipment controls and switches; annunicator alarms; adherence to procedures; adherence to limiting conditions for operations; temporary alterations in effect; daily journals and data sheet entries; and control room manning. This inspection activity also included numerous informal discussions with operators and their

supervisors.

General plant tours were conducted on at least a weekly basis. Portions of the control building, turbine building, auxiliary building, and outside areas were visited.
Observations included valve positions and system alignments; snubber and hanger conditions; instrument readings; house-keeping; radiation protection controls; tag controls on equipment; work activities in progress; vital area controls; personnel badging; personnel search and escort; and vehicle search and escort. Informal discussions were held with selected plant personnel in their functional areas during these tours.
The following comments were noted:
a.
During a tour of the auxiliary building on January 25, 1983, the inspector observed that reactor start-up sources were stored in the northwest corner of area 10, elevation 166', without the required radiological markings.
The material consisted of 7,760 curies of Antimony-124 in an area marked off with yellow / magenta rope, the radiation symbol and a sign stating " Radiation Area".
The designated area was not posted with a sign bearing the words " Radioactive Materials" or " Caution". The shipping container had been received on site January 24, 1983, and placed in storage.
The sources were contained within the inner shipping container which was still intact.
The shipping container outer shield had been removed, thus the container was not considered to be packaged for shipment in accordance with DOT regulations. Corrective action was taken in that the markings of " Caution - Radioactive Material" were added to the warning signs.
This is an apparent violation of 10CFR20, paragraph -203(e), which requires the posting of areas in which quantities of radioactive material (as defined in Appendix C of that part) are stored. It will be identified as Violation 416/83-04-01, Failure to Post a Radiological Material Storage Area.
b.
During a tour of the diesel generator building on January 21,1983, the
'
inspector noted that the Division II Diesel-Generator Starting Air System was not aligned as required for standby conditions.
Hand-switches for " Starting Air Dryer #1" and " Starting Air Dryer #2 and Aftercooler" were in the "0FF" position. System Operating Instruction (S0I) No. 04-1-01-P75-1, Revision 14,
" Standby Diesel-Generator l
System", paragraph 4.7.2.a, requires that these handswitches be placed l
in the " STANDBY" position.
Reference is made to Inspection bport No. 50-416/82-76, in which a similar problem involving the D esel Generator (D/G) starting air system was noted.
The inspecto had observed low starting air pressure which was determined tc have resulted from the air compressors not auto-running due to an open
,
l air-compressor breaker.
In the case of the starting air dryer hand-switches being misaligned, the starting air pressure was not low. This
,
is an apparent violation of S0I No. 04-1-01-P75-1.
It will be l
identified as Violation 416/83-04-02, Failure to Follow Procedure.
