. Comparison of As Built Plant to Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)

Description (37301)

The inspector examined the Division I Standby Diesel Generator Starting Air System (DGSA), the High Pressere Core Spray System (HPCS), the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System (RCIC), and the Standby Liquid Control System (SLCS) to verify that the as built mechanical configuration of the systems is as described in the controlled facility drawings including posted design change documents. As noted in Inspection Report No. 50-440/85022, the FSAR drawings will be updated at a later date prior to licensing (Reference: Open Item No. 440/85022-46). The inspector examined the following piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID)

including posted Engineering Change Notices (ECN) for those systems:

. D-302-351, Revision G, " Standby Diesel Generator Starting Air"

. D-302-701, Revision K, "High Pressure Core Spray System"

,

. D-302-631, Revision E, " Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System"

. D-302-632, Revision F, " Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System"

. D-302-691, Revision D, " Standby Liquid Control System"

. D-302-692, Revision D, " Standby Liquid Control System" The inspector used the site controlled P&ID and walked down the system to verify as built configuratio Several discrepancies were observed as

The inspector examined the-following electrical one line diagrams and compared them to the field installed systems:

. 0-206-050, Revision L, " Class 1E DC System - Division 3"

. 0-206-051, Revision P, " Class 1E DC System" No discrepancies were noted during the field inspection of those electrical power system During all of these as built verifications, the inspector noted that permanent identification tags are only being placed on equipment included in valve lineup and electrical lineup instructions. This policy results in check valves, strainers, flow elements, orifices and various sensors being unlabeled. The inspector believes that this approach may be short sighted and that proper implementation of operations and maintenance activities may be assured with a more complete tagging program. The concern will be followed as an open item 440/85033-14(DRP).

While unresolved and open items have been identified for later resolution, no violations or deviations were currently identified in this are . Preoperational Test Program Implementation Verification (71302)

The inspector observed control room operation and test coordination, reviewed applicable logbooks and conducted discussions with control room operators and test personnel during the inspection period to ensure that

f

.

,

test activities were being conducted in accordance with regulatory requirements and facility procedures. Tours of the Unit 1 reactor building, intermediate building, Unit 1 auxiliary building, fuel handling building, control complex, and diesel generator building were conducted to observe test and maintenance work in progress, area housekeeping, equipment condition, and system cleanliness. The inspector also reviewed the minutes from Test Program Review Committee (TPRC) meetings No. 410 through 414, 416, 417, 421, and 425 conducted during this inspection period to verify conformance with Nuclear Test Section procedure No violations or deviations were identified in this are . Safety Committee Activity (40301)

The inspector attended Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC) meeting No. 85-49 and reviewed the minutes of meetings No. 85-43 through 85-53 conducted during the inspection period to verify conformance with PNPP procedures and regulatory requirements. The observations and examinations included PORC membership and qualifications, quorum at PORC meetings, and PORC activitie No violations or deviations were identified in this are . Station Battery Operation and Maintenance - Regional Request and Procedure Review (92705, 42450, 42452)

By memorandum dated March 25, 1985, from C. E. Norelius, the regional office requested that an inspection of battery operation and maintenance practices be performed specifically addressing certain problematic areas:

. Specific gravity correction for temperature and level

. Battery charging records

. Capacity testing methodology

. Equalizing charging procedures

. Routine surveillance prerequisites

,

. Routine surveillance corrective actions

. Battery rack and cell installation i The applicant uses calcium flat plate type GC Exide batteries for the Class 1E DC electrical power source. The inspector examined the vendor's manuals and the applicant's maintenance, curveillance, and operating instructions:

. PMI-I-0024, Revision 3 " Plant Batteries Inspection and i Maintenance" 501-R42, Revision 1 "0C Systems: Batteries, Chargers, f .

Switchboards"

. SVI-R42-T5216, Revision 0 " Division 2 Battery Service Test"

. ELI-R42, Revision 0 "0C Systems: Batteries, Chargers, Switchboards (Unit 1)"

The inspector examined those procedures for the attributes of the referenced regional request as well as compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.129, Revision 1, " Maintenance Testing and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants," and IEEE 450, " Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing and replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations," Revisions 1972, 1975 and 198 The applicant's battery naintenance and testing program contained the attributes referenced in the regional request. However, PMI-I-0024 contained all of the routine inspection requirements regardless of their periodicity. This could cause confusion when implementing the instruction. The applicant indicated that those routine activities would be broken into eight separate surveillance instructions. When those instructions are written, the inspector will review them for adequac This will be tracked as an open inspection item 440/85033-15(DRP).

The inspector visually inspected the Class IE battery banks and observed

-

Operations Section personnel perform the routine battery surveillance and preventive maintenanc No discrepancies were note The inspector examined the applicant's commitments in various sections of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) with respect to battery maintenance and testing. FSAR Table 1.8, when discussing Regulatory Guide 1.129, states that the applicant will implement IEEE 450-1975. FSAR Table 8.1-2 states that IEEE 450-1980 will be implemented. Also in FSAR Table 8.1-2, the applicant commits to implement NRC Branch Technical Position ICSB 6 which references IEEE 450-1972. The inspector brought these conflicting commitments to the attention of the NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) by memorandum from C. E. Norelius to H. L. Thompson dated June 20, 1985. Resolution of this issue will.be tracked under open

, inspection item 440/85033-16(DRP).

The inspector examined the applicant's service and performance (capacity)

testing procedures and compared those procedures to IEEE 450-1975 and 198 The inspector is concerned that the results of testing performed in accordance with applicant's proposed procedures, which include

.

.

  • A performance of an equalizing charge and routine preventive maintenance prior to the tests, will not properly reflect the standby readiness of

'

the batteries. This practice is in direct conflict with IEEE 450-1975, Sections 4.2, 4.3, 5.1 and 5.6 which define the limitations placed on i testing initial condition However, IEEE 450-1980 is not as clear on this issu .

In addition to the conflicting IEEE standard commitments issue, the inspector also brought this technical concern to the attention of NRR in that memorandum dated June 20, 1985. Resolution of this concern will also be tracked under open inspection item 440/85033-17(DRP).

The inspector examined battery, charger and switchboard electrical lineup instruction (ELI)-R42, Revision 0, and noted three potential discrepancies:

, . 125 Volt DC Motor Control Center E01809 (1R42-5038) is not addressed in the EL . The function of Switch Nos. 16 and 18 on 125 Volt DC distribution panel EDIA06 (IR42-S012) were reversed by Engineering Change Notice (ECN) 21468-33-3516, Revision A, but this change was not reflected in the EL . The function of Switch No. 3 on 125 Volt DC distribution panel ED1808 (IR42-5014) was changed from " spare" to "PNLIC61-P001" by ECN s 23296-33-3947, Revision E, but this change was not reflected in the EL The resolution of these three potential discrepancies will be tracked as unresolved item 440/85033-18(DRP).

While unresolved and open items have been identified for later resolution, no violations or deviations were currently identified in this are . Technical Specification Review (71301)

.

The inspector examined Technical Specifications Section 3.3.2, " Isolation Actuation Instrumentation," Section 3.3.3, " Emergency Core Cooling System Actuation Instrumentation," and Section 3.3.4, " Recirculation Pump Trip Actuation Instrumentation." The inspector noted that each of these specifications requires in the limiting condition for operation (LCO)

that the instrumentation be operable with its trip setpoint set consistent with the trip setpoint value in the specification. The LC0 tction Statement requires that the instrument be declared inoperable if the setpoint is found to be less conservative than the allowabie value in the specification. Consequently, the requirement for the trir setpoint to be at the specified trip setpoint value is not enforceable. The inspector is discussing this issue with the applicant and NRR personnel on its own merit and in conjunction with the ongoing generic analysis of setpoint

,, methodology. Resolution of this concern will be tracked as open inspection

10. Operating Procedures Review (42450)

The inspector examined the valve lineup instruction for the Division 1 diesel generator starting air system, VLI-R44-1, Revision 0, issued April 6, 1984, utilizing the information on the piping and instrumenta-tion diagram (P&ID) for that system, D-302-351, Revision G, issued November 10, 198 The following discrepancies were noted:

Valve Number P&ID Indication VLI Indication F517A Open Closed F563A Locked Open Open F562A Locked Open Open The resolution of these discrepancies will be tracked as unresolved item 440/85033-20(DRP).

While an unresolved itm was identified for later resolution, no violations or deviations were currently identified in this are . Residual Heat Removal (RHR) System Preoperational Test Witnessing (70315)

The inspector witnessed the performance of Step 6.6.9, "FHR Integrated LPCI (Low Pressure Coolant System) Verification," in the RHR preopera-tional test TP-1E12-P001, Revision 1. The inspector fje.1d verified that prerequisites 6.6.1(a)(1), 6.6.1(f), and 6.6.9(a)(2), (3), (5), (6) and (7) had been completed. The inspector verified that four stopwatches, L70R833K and L70R834 F, K and L, which were used for data collection were within their calibration period The inspector verified that RHR pumps A, B, and C flow meters, 1E12R603A, B, and C, which were used for data collection were within their calibration periods. The inspector verified that the acceptance criteria for individual pump flows, integrated LPCI flow injection valve stroke time and full flow time were satisfie During the course of verifying prerequisites for this test the inspector encountered two problems:

. One of the prerequisites required that the main steam isolation valves (MSIVs) be isolated and danger tagge This was accomplished by tagging out the air supply valves in the field for the MSIV' Consequently, while the MSIVs were out of service and inoperable, there was no indication in the control room on the control panel of this situation. The applicant is reviewing their practices for use of red " danger" switch caps in the control room to encompass this situation. This issue will be tracked as open item 440/85033-21(DRP).

. During a tour of the reactor building on June 22, 1985, the inspector noted that while the reactor vessel and B pool had been evacuated and flooded, many of the items on the tool / material inventory log had not been logged out of the vessel. Following subsequent investigation, the inspector found that all materials had

_ _ - _ - _ - .

.

.

been removed and not logged out and that the controls implementing the logbook were issued by memorandum and not proceduralized. These are both violations of the requirements to have procedures controlling activities affecting quality and following those procedures (440/85033-22(DRP)).

One open item and one violation were identified in this are . Open Inspection Items Open inspection items are matters which have been discussed with the applicant, which will be reviewed further by the inspector, and which involve some action on the part of the NRC or applicant or both. Open inspection items disclosed during the inspection are discussed in Paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 1 . Unresolved Inspection Items Unresolved items are matters which have been discussed with the applicant, which will be reviewed further by the inspector, and which involve some action on the part of the NRC or the applicant or bot Unresolved items disclosed during the inspection are discussed in Paragraphs 5, 8 and 1 . Exit Interviews (30703)

The inspectors met with applicant representatives denoted in Paragraph 1 throughout the inspection and at the conclusion of the in;pection period on July 3, 1985. The inspectors summarized the scope and results of the inspection and discussed the likely content of this inspection repor The applicant did not indicate that any of the information disclosed during the inspection could be considered proprietary in natur
