Action on Previous Inspection Findings (92701,-92702)_-
a.
(0 pen) Open Item (454/84036-01): Construction QA recordt remain.
unreviewed and unaccepted and continue to be stored in the construction vault under Project Construction Department control.
In discussions with the Offices Supervisor and.the station QA Superintendent, the inspectors learned that turnover of records was anticipated to be accomplished by early May 1987. This matter remains open until turnover and adequate storage is complete.
b.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (454/86012-01): -Implementation status of QA Manual changes at the site was unknown. The inspectors reviewed
,
administrative procedure BAP 1310-9, and attached forms BAP.1310-T25 and BAP 1310-T26. The procedure provided adequate controls to assure that affected site procedures were revised when licensee QAM changes.
were issued. A QAM revision dated December 23, 1986, was selected for implementation review. The issued Action Item Requests were
,
completed and the necessary changes to affected subtier documents were acccmplished. This matter is closed.
i
.2.
.
c.
(Closed) Violation (454/86012-03): Results of surveillance test BOS DC-21 listed two readings that exceeded' acceptance criteria but were not evaluated for acceptable test results.
The inspector determined that the corrective action described in the licensee's May 21, 1986, letter to NRC had been taken to correct the problem and to avoid further violation. In addition, a memorandum, dated May 16, 1986, was issued to operations personnel that emphasized the items to be considered during review of surveillance results.
The inspectors reviewed revision 51 to the surveillance test issued to alter the form by adding.the Technical Specification maximum-minimum limits to the more restrictive administrative limits. Now, any reading that exceeds an administrative limit can immediately be evaluated for Technical Specification compliance.
It.was noted that
'
administrative limits were deliberately set more restrictive than Technical Specification limits to avoid an inadvertent limiting condition of operation (LCO) and allow time to determine any needed corrective action. This matter is closed.
-
d.
(Closedk Violation (454/86012-04): Measuring and testing devices used in activities affecting quality were overdue for calibration.
The inspectors determined that the corrective action described in the licensee's May 21, 1986, letter to NRC had been taken to correct the identified problem. All remaining instruments that required recalibration would be completed during the current refueling outage, including the revision.of Byron Instrument
Procedure 2000-004 to include a 25% allowance on calibration intervals.
It was also-determined that the corrective actions-to avoid further violation had been completed.
The inspector reviewed the March 13, 1987, issue of "The Station-Instrumentation Schedule File Listing" for any instances of past due calibration of instruments. Those few identified were on the Past Due listing, which was approved by management, and were scheduled to be completed this outage. This matter is closed.
e.
(Closed) Open Item (455/86036-01): Designation of Level A or Level B storage requirements for printed circuit cards was inconsistent. The inspectors learned that Westinghouse had established adequate storage level to be A for circuit cards with capacitors, and B for those without capacitors.. The inspectors learned that this definition, along with a personnel change for designating storage level, resolved this concern. During a walkdown of the storage areas the inspectors observed that circuit boards were properly stored Level A/B as required by the-master computer printout instructions. This matter is closed.

(C1osed) Open Item (455/86036-02): : Inadequate protection of stored
~
items.-
l
'
'The inspect' ors observed that stored parts were. protected with plastic bags or in closed boxes; no items were uncovered on unprotected.
It was also learned that warehouse personnel routinely check for closed storage containers. -Housekeeping also_ appeared adeguate including:
the roping off of storage hold areas.
This matter 1s closed.

and-corporate QA personnel associated with vendor qualifications,-
-and examined selected samples of recently purchased safety related
,
items.
(1)~ The Quality Approved Bidders List (QABL) was developed, controlled, and maintained current-by the Corporate QA.'

According to the Equipment Qualification and Material Group Leader, this new: procedure (BVP-100 - 4) was intended to be applicable for safety-related, Part 21, and ASME parts-and components currently being controlled though application of'
Sargent and Lundy procedures and instructions. The current

procedure.
(454/87014-01;_455/87015-01)
The inspectors concluded that licensee management was. involved i
in assuring quality in that procurement was generally.well controlled and documented.

Resul ts In discussions with station Instrument Maintenance (IM) personnel the following was established.
(1) The Master Calibration Schedule was maintained by the IM department and was'the responsibility of the Surveillance Coordinator.
Recalibration notices were prepared by the cooroinator to meet.the established calibration schedules.
f (2) The inspectors selected five non-Technical Specification related instruments for detailed review as follows:
1PS - AF 108 BIP 2400 - 008
OTS - SX 090 BIP 2400 - 053
1FT - CC 0657 BIP 2500 - 093
1FI - CS 011 BIP 2500 - 053
IPY - MS 044D BIP 2500 - 002
,
Each instrument's test sheet was reviewed by the. inspectors for acceptance criteria and adequate results of calibration.
The scheduled calibration status was also checked on the master schedule.
With the recent revisions to BIP 2000-004-and the re-calibration efforts to become current with the master schedule, the calibration control program appeared to be adequately controlled and performed.
No violations or deviations were indentified.
