- - . i , Inspection ~ Sumary , ' Inspection Conducted August 7 through September 8, 1989 (Report 50-498/89-27; s 3D-499/89-27) ' Areas Inspected: Routine, unannounced inspection of facility modifications,., training and qualification effectiveness, and followup on previously identified , inspection findings.

' Results: Within the three areas inspected, no violations or deviations were l.. identified..The overall' program for facility modifications. appeared to be.

- acceptable; however, the reviews and evaluations of facility modifications '

related to nuclear. safety by the plant operating review committee and'the plant t

manager may not have been fully completed prior to implementation of the

l-change. No specific examples of inadequate safety reviews were identified.

l.

The responsibilities assigned to the. plant. safety and analysis (P8SA) groups . '. and'the staffing level (manager.and one engineer) did not-appear to be consistent.

  • l t
In'the area of training and qualification effectiveness, the licensee appeared to be ' ahead of ' schedule for meeting their. !NPO accreditation milestones.

Adequate' training audits were being conducted and, in general, appropriately ' used for program evaluation with satisfactory resolutions to the findings.

Substantial improvements were being made to restore an inadequate chemistry training laboratory to a useful condition.- Event review, training, and tracking systems were up-to-date and adequate. Training course objectives were well~ defined.and discussed; the lessons were well organized a,nd effectively presented.

,' - 4 . . r . , , g Emergency Procedure (E0P) 2.1 (Closed) Deviation (498/8805-01;- 499/8805-01) - . ' Upgrade: The licensee reviewed and evaluated certain previously missed conunitments-as nart of the followup to the Deficiency Report-(DR) 89-047, g Revision 1, dated June =21, 1989.

The inspector reviewed the two licensee responses to Deficiency DR 89-047,- dated July 28. 1989 (ST-HS-HS-11928)..and August 18,1989(ST-HS-HS-12040).

The licensee reviewed 17 ideatified items-and detennined the. items to be of no significant safety cc.nsequence. Additional' corrective actions to prevent recurrence included guidance for the issuance of a problem report.

, .if appropriate, when the NRC indicated that1a violation or deviation may.

be-issued. The issuance of the problem report will formally evaluate and.

document the review for safety consequences and reportability of the item.

The inspector had no further questions regarding this matter, and this item , . ". is' considered closed.

, 2.2 (0 pen) Violation (498/8868-02) - Exam)le C: This example of the violation - involved the failure to include a'n "O(" in Substeps 14.1 and 14.2 of.EOP ' ' ' Unit 1/2 Procedure POP 05-E0-EC31, Revision 3/0, " Steam Generator Tube Rupture With Loss of Reactor Coolant Subcooled Recovery Desired."

The inspector reviewed the procedures-and verified that the change - '(addition of the "0R") had been incorporated into the E0Ps.. <

, , - , The inspector had no further questions regarding this specific item; [T ~ - however,, Examples'A and D of the violation, remain open pending the T, LQ completion of.the E0P upgrade program and NRC review of the program and its' implementation.

In!-. No violations or deviations were identified in the review of this program l , ' l.-

' Facility Modifications (37701) L _ ql< . i The inspector reviewed selected facility modifications made by.the i l

H' licensee pursuant to 10 CFR.50.59 and provided to the NRC in the routine

l annual report of changes to the facility (ST-HL-AE-2809), dated October 21,

o+ l.

1988.

4. 3.1 Procedures,

' The review included selected design program, administrative directives, ' . . and implementing procedures listed in the attachment. The inspector

, identified e number of. questions and provided comments regarding several i ' , of the procedures reviewed, as discussed below'

. 3.1.1 Procedure NGP-760. "Unifomity of Safety Evaluations and

10 CFR 50.59 Evaluations"

. This procedure assigned a number of responsibilit'ies to the PSAA group, ' . including the initial review and approval of screening and safety c evaluations pe'rforn;ed for modifications, the' initial approval of safety ' Lanalysesconducted'for'nonconformancereports,providingassistance

ito other groups, arid the initial training of the appropriate plant c staff' members regarding safety and.10 CFR 50.59 evaluations.

. .i Document reviews'and int'erviews revealed that the' assignments made to- , , the PS&A group (manager, one engineer,'and two vacancies) were extremely ' ambitious, considering'the apparent'importance and content of this > activity. The PS&A group had recently comenced the review of the " ' safety, evaluations for all new and existing temporary modifications.

' . '. ; The PS&A was also planning a sample review of previously completed , 10 CFR 50.59 applicability, screening and unreviewed safety question evaluations.

' , 3.1.2 Procedure IP-3.240, " Engineering Change Notice Package (Minor . I- - PIdR fication)" , I.

i t.

Step 6.4.8 of this procedure required that the Nuclear Plant Operations - o a l Department (NPOD)cognizantengineercoordinatean.impactassessment s

p4 of NP0D programs and procedures in accordance with l Procedure OPGP03-ZE-0031, " Design Change Implementation After Turnover."

.The inspector noted that the activities required by the design change-l ' ' checklist (0PGP03-ZE-0031-1) for minor modifications ~, and the ~ activities , L required for major plant modifications in accordance with F Procedure IP-3.1Q, " Plant Modifications," were not consistent.

L Procedure IP-3.1Q required (for major modifications) that the following l questions be addressed: ' ... will the design change: "

l "4 Be consistent with existing operations, maintenance, or testing procedures... >- "5.

Be compatible with existing temporary modifications and i: alterations, and not require'that any temporary modifications - and alterations be restored, revised, or incorporated as ' part of the design change...." i p.

, i " f~ These procedure weaknesses were discussed with licensee representatives,q-," l N -

who agreed to consider possible revisions to the procedures. This is i

j' ' an inspector followup item (498/8927-01; 499/8927-01) that will be j . 1,. " reviewed during a. subsequent inspection.

' k 3.1.3 Procedure OPGP03-20-0003 " Temporary Modifications and Alterations,". ! Ee addressed the update of key drawings as appropriate, in the control.

. ' room and the equipment clearance office, - ' . s . ' Document reviews and discussions revealed that the similar controlled drawings in the' records management. system were, not updated when a .I temporary modification was installed. 'Further. key engineering groups'were not provided copies of the temporary modifications in , order to have current documentation to utilize during ongoing design- ' activities. The licensee provided a status of-the temporary o ' ' * . modifications monthly; however, the inspector noted that'a number of temporary modifications were longstanding (1987). This apparent program weakness was brought to the licensee's attention for > e . consideration.

The temporary modification procedure addressed both temporary . modifications and alterations; however, alterations were no longer , , p utilized.

Interviews revealed that the procedure was presently under

, consideration for revision and the alteration process would be j l-

eliminated.

- L 3.2" Unreviewed' Safety Question Evaluations (USOE)

'The inspector reviewed selected USOEs submitted to the NRC in the annual ' report. The inspector also reviewed a number of the more recent' USQEs.

The USQEs reviewed are listed in the report attachment. The review of the = ^ USQEs revealed that the independent nuclear safety review board (NSRB) had returned certain modification / safety evaluation packages to the plant for additional information. The information appeared to have been provided as

' , ' requested.

. ~ ' ~ The USQEs wr1tten as input to the 1989 annual report to the NRC appeared to have improved, in that'the infomation being provided to licensing was ^.. more comprehensive.

It was also noted that the safety evaluations for the > changes performed after mid-1989 routinely received a review and approval , ' of the plant safety and analysis groups as required by the nuclear policy.

, Temporary Modifications ( 7701) t The inspector' reviewed selected temporary modifications that were still l ,' active'to ensure that the review, approval, installation, and testing were

' , performed in accordance with the license and procedure requirements. The . temporary modifications reviewed are listed in the attachment to the

u report. The inspector identified the following issues and:provided , f,< coments regarding the modifications.

~ > , t 4.1. The licensee's compliance review for certain temporary modifications was. i performed in accordance with Procedure OPGP03-ZO-0003; however, it was

LF - < noted that for the three temporary modifications selected for review, the

licensee had determined that the review of the screening and safety

evaluations by the plant operations review comittee (PORC).and the' .; a approval of the~ plant manager was not required. The temporary modifications . (T1-NI-89-09. T1-PH-89-035, and T1-PH-89-038) were associated with items , , ? which may affect nuclear safety. The installed temporary ncdifications A had not been formally reviewed by the PORC and approved by the PN prior to , , . installation to ensure that no unreviewed safety question was involved.

.Although this did not appear to constitute a violation of a regulatory

requirement, it was not apparent when or how. the independent nuclear . , safety review board.(NSRB) would review the screening and safety evaluation ~ [ , ~ for the modification-to verify that no unreviewed safety question was ' ' involved.

l

This apparent' program weakness was discussed with the licensee and provided for consideration. This is considered to be an inspector followup item (498/2701-02; 499/2701-02).

,

4.21 A. temporary modification (T1-PH-89-035) had been issued regarding the ' removal ~of two blind flanges from spare containment electrical penetrations - (3E261Ef.P0003'and 0004) and the installation of modified flanges to allow cables to be routed into the reactor containment building during the refueling outege via scaled penetraticos. The modified flanges were

i installed during Mode 5 on August 9, 1989, prior to entering Mode 6,. requiring containment integrity.

The' adequacy of the installation and testing of th'e flanges was questioned l by the inspector.

Subsequent review by NRC inspectors during NRC Inspection Report,50-498/89-28; 50-499/89-28 resolved this issue.

, No violations or deviations were identified in the review of this program area.

S , ' The inspectors reviewed the program development status ~ from' January . through August 1989. The program development status was on or ahead of-

. schedule in all' areas'. Through August 1989, the average program status-t was at 73 percent,.which.is 17 percent ahead of their 56 percent schedule.

Of the 8 program creas being developed 7 were between 62 percent'and . 95 percent complete and 8 at 47 percent. The licensee appeared to be

"" - ahead of schedule fer meeting all of their INP0 accreditation milestones.

' , l 5.2 Review and' Followup of Training Audit - t ' - . The inspectors reviewed the: licensee's Nuclear Assurance Audit 89-21 (B2),

" Personnel Training and' Qualifications." This audit was conducted L April 18.through May 9,1089. The ' audit' identified five concerns and one <

, deficiency. which was corrected during the audit. The inspectors also -

reviewed the training department responses to the various concerns ! addressed in the audit.':The inspectors followed up extensively on a '4

b.

concern in the chemical' operations and analysis area. identified in the ! -audit.' This concern dealt with:

3' ' Technicians needing improvement when performing analysis under . ' - , N nonroutine conditions;

' Inadequate laboratory facil.t les and the lack of equipment was limiting'the. effectiveness of the training program; and v , l Additional hands-on training was needed and could be obtained in

  • '

p.

laboratory condtions.

< U l The training department's response to the above concern was that: L l Equipment previously used in the laboratory was used by the plant to

l. support startup of both units; i The decision to use the laboratory equipment in the plant had been

, .~._ , mutually agreed to by nuclear training and chemical operations and ' L analysis; and ' < , .. l4 The existing method of training personnel, using in-plant equipment,

, ' '. had not adversely affected the quality or quantity of training.

i

.y The inspector toured the chemistry training leboratory and talked with an .c' instructor about its past, present, and future status and plans.

x attributed to a lack of equipment as identified above. Under the present~ i ' budget, the licensee had made several purchases, and future budget plans i

- ' provided for substantial additional purchases. The inspector reviewed the i! " " ,. ,,s present and' proposed training budgets. The present budget and proposed . budget both supported the above improvements in the laboratory. The inspector also noted that the proposed budget also supported substantial-c.

additions of training equipment for the mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation and control training labs.

': O The licensee's audit'of training appeared to be adequate. The resolutions ' ' + to each finding appeared to be satisfactory and had been appropriately a . - , { used for program evaluation.' ' . ' 5.3[TrainingonLERs, Events,andNotices

Tidinspectors reviewed the licensee's methods'of. identification and ' - > , tracking of training.needs based 04 LERs, industry events,znotices, and ' a . . .other areas that might warrant training. The licensee had a system in- " ' effect for processing, reviewing, and assigning the responsibility to' ' 4 i - training in these areas. The napagement action tracking. system"(MATS) was t ~ j'

y" . utilized to keep track of responsibilities and due-dates. 'In, addition to . the. MATS system, the training department.had the option to add items not

L1 specifically assigned to them through the information routing system.

,,. , These items were then' added to a lessons learned lesson plan.' The ' < , inspectors < reviewed the recently closed'and the open training department ' . .' consnitments on the MATS system. There were no: overdue items from training, r and it was noted;that several items that were not.specifically assigned to ' ' training had been covered in lessons learned.

The' licensee appeared to have an effective, systematic system for identifying significant items that required' training. They also had a i tracking system that supported these deadlines.

] q , . , s - ' , . Chemical Operations and Analysis Training 5.4 >, The inspector monitored a. portion of two training classes. The classes s, were CFT 100.36,,"Non-Class 13.8/4.16/480V AC Power Distribution" and CTT 253.01, " Ion Chromatooraphy;" ' The lessons were presented within the allotted time and the students were given ample time for questions. The instructors remained aware of time and allotted for, a planned, controlled . break. The trainees were provided with a meaningful and complete ', ' _

instructional context for the lessons with reference to the overall course ' ' objectives. The'1essons were outlined prior to the presentations and the i ' structure was explained in detail. The instructors kept to the outline of ' , instructions, departing only to satisfy questions. A11 subject areas were covered at a level commensurate with the data presented in the instruction guides and with the objectives of the lessons. The instructors were > l poised and professional and kept the interest of the class throughout the ' E session. They gained and maintcined the confidence and trust of the class. - The instructors were in control of the class and did not allow t - tangential discussions to disrupt the pursuit of the subject at hand.

' , 5.5.1 Control of_ Active and inactive Operator Licenses , The inspector selected the names of two licensed personnel who had been moved from inactive to active license status. A review of their , training records indicated that the requirements.for active license ' " status had been met.

During this time frame, the licensee documented U the changes in status via an office memorandum. The memorandum listed the. requirements for activation'of the license and was signed c by the certifying of fictr; however, this memorandum process das no ' ' ' longer being used. The licensee.had procedura11 red the process with the issuance of' Procedure OP0001-ZA-0014. " Licensed Operator License , Maintenance." This procedure, in addition to covering license i activation,also covered operator transfer between units and active ! license maintenance.

, ' ,i ' 5.5.2 Operator Requalificction Cycle - 88-07 j During this poYtion of th' e inspection, the inspector reviewed a

12-month segment of the 2-year requalification cycle. Class ' ' schedules were reviewed for lesson plan content, inclusion of ! ' industry operating experience and simulator schedules, including , proposed training scenarios. This 12-month period included a . requalification exam conducted on the simulator. The final results l r were reviewed to determine if there were any failures. Of the . 84 operators examined, there was one failure noted.' 1he operator was I reexamined and posted a passing grade.

l

The reevalification training cycle schedules reviewed contained ! comprehensive subject matter.

In addition, the inspector selected a .' sample of site and industry events from the licensee's management ' action tracking system to determint if these were included in the ' , operator requalfication where applicable. The inspector noted that the events were included either as separate classroom instruction [

. i' $.5.3 Audit of Training - Audit Report 89-21 ! ' -i There were several concerns identified in the audit report. The j

inspector noted that concerns number two and three identified computer i modeling~ deficiencies associated with the simulator. Concern number l " two was related to the lack of nedeling of the emergency response

fact ity data accuisition display system (ERFDADS), and concern ! number three identified several other modeling deficiencies. The i overall concern cf the audit team was that the modeling did not

i reflect the actual 'ccotrol reom. The nuclear training department l responded that there was currently an existir's Kodification

l Request (MR-404) on the simulator to correct several modeling ! deficiencies, includini, EkFDADS and radiation monitoring. The ! radiation penitoring was scheduled for completion in 1989 and the

remainder of the modeling deficiencies by the end of 1990.: The ! . completion of this modification should enhance the training received ! ' l-by the operators, especially in emergency response training.

l No violations or deviations were identified in the review of this - i ' i program area.
