. Areas Inspected: Routine, unannounced inspection of implementation o' '

calibration program, emergency diesel fuel oil program into the quali assurance program, proper receipt, storage and handling of emergency diesel .

generator (EDG) fuel oil, and collection of information on high temperature inside *

containment and drywell at the RB 'Results: Within the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified. Implementation of calibration program was the strength of the <

licensee's program because there were no backlogs in the calibration progra The licensee has incorporated an emergency diesel fuel oil program into their quality assurance program. The licensee also has a program in place to maintain adequate quality of EDG fuel oil at RBS. In addition to the above, the licensee has established a program to monitor the high temperatures inside the containment and drywell at RBS which appear to be maintained below the-Technical Specification (TS) limit ,

.The purpose of this inspection was to obtain containment and drywell average ambient operating temperature profiles for RBS and to detennine its effects on the environmental qualification of equipment, in particular, electrical insulation. During this inspection, the NRC inspector reviewed l data on containment and drywell temperatures over a 6-month period from April  !

through September 1988. The arithmetic mean temperature for these months is 83.52 F and 133.85 F inside the containment and drywell respectivel These temperatures are below the average temperature used by the licensee in the equipment environmental qualification program for calculating the remaining qualified lifetime for equipment inside the containment and drywel The average temperatures were obtained by the licensee from individual temperature measurements taken at ten containment locations and four drywell locations, and then averaged arithmetically. The readings were

.taken on a single day at 100 percent power. The NRC inspector verified that these readings were being taken in accordance with the established Station Operating Procedure STP-000-0001, " Daily Operating Logs." The licensee has demonstrated that the temperature monitoring program used to obtain an adequate data base is in place. This monitoring program is being performed in accordance with TS requirements. Based on the review I

-3-of this data base, it appears that an adequate margin of safety exists in using a qualification-temperature of 90 F inside containment and 145 F for i the drywell. Therefore, an average ambient temperature of 83.5*F for the containment and 133.8'F for the drywell should not degrade the qualified lifetime of equipment. All the preceding information was obtained by the l NRC inspector for analysis by NR i No violations or deviations were identified in this area of the inspectio ] Inspection for Verification of Ouality Assurance Requirements Regarding Diesel Generator Fuel Oil The purpose of this inspection was to verify that the licensee has complie'd H th 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B requirements regarding diesel generator fuel oil at RB The NRC inspector verified that the licensee has incorporated the diesel generator fuel oil into the quality assurance program and that the program meets the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix 8 requirement No violations or deviations were identified in this area of the inspectio . Calibration (56700)

This inspection was conducted to determine if the licensee had developed and implemented a program for the calibration of components associated with safety-related systems or functions, which are not addressed in T The NRC inspector reviewed the following completed calibration procedures:
