Re: Turkey Point Uni s 3 8 4 Docket Nos. 50-250, 50-251 Inspection Ressort 81-20 FINDING A:

Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires the establishment and implementation of written procedures for safety related activities. Administrative Procedure 0103.2, Duties and Responsibilities of Operators On-Shift and Maintenance of Operating Logs and Records, specify that technical specification time limits be entered on the Equipment Out of Service Log.

Contrary to the above, on September 9, 1981, an i nadequate review to recognize that only one boric acid transfer pump was available resulted in the failure to enter Technical Specification 3.6.d.2 time limit on the Equipment Out of Service Log when one of the Unit 3 and Unit 4 boric acid transfer pumps were taken out of service.

(1) FPL concurs with the finding.

(2) The operator checked that two boric acid (BA) pumps were avai'lable for oper ation prior to issuing a clearance to repair valves 377, 378 and 379.

However the 3A BA Pump was available to Unit 3 only. The 48 BA Pump was available to Unit 4. Both pumps should have been available to Unit 4. The Unit 3 core has been unloaded and does not require a flow path from the BA system. The operator mi s-interpreted the Technical Specifications and thought that since he had two Boric Acid pumps available, he was in compliance. Therefore, he entered "Not Applicable" in the Equipment Out of 0 (.)

Service Log.

The entry was corrected and the individuals involved in the work were aware that the system was under a Technical Specification time limit.

made (4) This action should prevent further problems.

(5) Full compliance was achieved November 16, 1981.

FINDING B:

Technical Speci fi cati on 3.9.1. i requires that steam generators be continuously monitored while being blown down to assure that releases to the environment are within the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20.

Contrary to the above, on August 21, 1981, Unit 4 steam generator 4A was blown down for about three minutes with its blowdown sample isolation valve FCV 4-1427 shut.

(1) FPL concurs with the finding.

(2) The steam generator bl owdown sample isolation va l ve, FCV-4>>1427, had been closed so maintenance could be performed on the sample system. The valve had been closed approximately two or three minutes when the error was noticed.

As corrective action, the isolation valve was opened and the individuals involved were counseled about the necessity of being aware of Technical Specification requirements when granting clearances.

(4) This action should present further problems.

(5) Full compliance was achieved on November 19, 1981.
