UNITED STATES
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555
April 1,
1993
Docket No. 50-397
Hr. A. Lee Oxsen, 'Acting Managing Director
Washington Public Power Supply System
P.O.
Box 968
3000 George
Way
Richland,
99352
Dear Hr. Oxsen:
SUBJECT:
SERVICE
WATER SYSTEM OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
INSPECTION
(50-397/93-201)
We are forwarding the report of the service water system operational
performance
inspection
conducted
by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission
(NRC) staff from February
1 through ll, 1993.
The activities inspected
were
authorized
by
NRC Operating
License
NPF-21 for Washington Nuclear Plant, Unit
2 (WNP-2).
At the conclusion of the inspection,
an exit meeting
was held
where the team's findings. were discussed
with you and
members of your staff.
The inspection
team assessed
the operational
performance of the service water
system
(SWS), including the design,
operations,
maintenance,
testing,
and
surveillance of the system
and evaluated
implementation of the quality
assurance
and corrective action programs.
The team also
assessed
the planned
or completed
actions in response
to
System
Problems Affecting Safety-Related
Equipment,"
issued
on July 18,
1989.
The team found the design of the service water system to contain
adequate
margin to account for some calculational
uncertainties
and system degradation.
However, the team identified several
deficiencies
in your staff's performance
relative to the service water system.
Specifically, the team identified that
some
known deficiencies
were either not being properly documented,
or when
documented,
not fully resolved.
Host significant of these
was
a hammering
problem associated
with the service water loop isolation val'ves
SW-V-12A/B.
Although this problem was initially documented
in May of 1991, the cause
and
extent of the problem
and the possible ramifications were not understood
by
your personnel
at the time of this inspection.
Your failure to document
and
resolve
known deficiencies is an issue that has
been identified previously by
both
NRC and
WNP-2 auditors
and
one that warrants your continued
management
attention.
The team also identified
a lack of procedures
to cope with spray
pond icing,
a
biofouling program that had not been proceduralized
or adequately controlled,,
and
some degradation
in the material condition of the service water system.
