>>Reports to Arizona Public Service (APS) Startup Manager Trainin The inspector attended an operat'or training class conducted by Dr. Holmes who is a contract 'instructor from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The subject dealt with nuclear physics and was being given to the second class of senior reactor operator candidates.
The course duration is four, weeks, at, which time, it will have been completed by 34 individual's.

"contirol se'rvice group also will develop document packages to s'uppoxt the maintenance act-ivities, thereby 'relieving the first line foreman and craftsmen of this task.
The group will also trend equipment performance.
The control activities will, be accomplished with the aid of com-puters and a projected staff of approzimately 30.
Requirements for maintenance surveillance and preventive maintenance have been minimal, since few systems have been turned over to APS thus far.
Procedures are being written for the conduct of work.
This effort appears to be the most critical from the standpoint of maintaining pace with the turnover of systems to AP r'

Wa ter Chemis tr The chemical analysis of the water used to fillthe reactor vessel during pre-service inspection (ultrasonic testing) of the vessel was reviewed.
Several samples per day had been taken of the demineralized water used.
The analysis of these samples showed chloride and flouride levels within the specification which will apply during normal operation.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
5.
0 erations ualit Assurance A report of findings made by the APS QA auditor dealing with test control was reviewed by the inspector.
The report identified a series of items that dealt with procedure implementation and procedure availability which will require corrective actions.
The report receives a wide distribution which includes the Vice President of Electric Operations.

hl A review of the 1'icensee"s foliow-up,efforts on actions requested and recommended by "IEiBulletins, Circu1ars and Information Notices confirmed that, a system currently-exis'ts for tracking task responsibility, due dates, and action completions.
Information related to these publications will be made a part of the licensee's licensing comm'itment list currently tracked by computer.
A procedure, describing the flow of reviews has also been written. A'review of the licensee's handling of Bulletins 80-12 and 80-16 confirmed the procedure was being implemented; No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
7.
Plant Tours Several tours of the reactor building were made during the month.
The inspector observed that the cleanliness of areas ajacent to the open reactor vessel had deteriorated.
This was brought to the attention of APS construction QA who had made similar observations and had initiated action to correct the condition.
Follow-up tours confirmed that action had been taken to improve this con-dition in those areas
