4. 1, Table
4. 1-2,
Item 10,
requires that the'oron concentration
of each
of the three cold leg accumulators
be
sampled
and verified to be
1950
ppm
or greater prior to
RCS heat
up
above
200F.
The
4A and
4B accumulators
were satisfactorily
sampled
and
had boron concentrations
of 2215
ppm and
2240
ppm,
respectively.
The
4C
was
found to
be
empty,
therefore
a sample
could not be taken
and
compliance
to requirements
of
TS 4. 1,
Table 4. 1-2,.
Item 10
could
not,be
obtained.
Concurrently,
TS 3. 15. 1, Overpressure
Mitigation System
(OMS), requires
that with
pressure
boundary integrity established,
the valves
required to fill the
must be closed with power removed, until the
RCS temperature
is greater
than
380F.
In order to comply
with the requirements
of TS
4. 1, Table 4. 1-2,
Item
10
and
TS 3. 15. 1 the licensee
should
have
placed
Unit 4 in
a lesser
condition of operation
by reducing
RCS temperature,
depressurizing
the
RCS and then filling the
4C accumulator.
Contrary to the
above,
the licensee
did not comply with TS .4.1,
Table
4'. 1-2,
item
10.
'The
required
sample
was not taken prior to e'xceeding
200F.
The licensee
delayed filling and sampling the
4C accumulator until
temperature
was increased
above
380F,
when
TS 3. 15. 1 restrictions
on valve
MOV-869 were
no
longer applicable.
The
NRC
was
not
informed of this
decision.
This discrepancy
was identified
by
NRC inspectors
during
routine
log
reviews
on July 23,
1987.
The licensee
was informed that the decision not
to implement
the
TS required surveillance
constituted
a violation of TS 4.1, Table 4.1-2,
Item 10. (251/87-35-01).
This violation is similar to violation 250/85-24-03,
issued
on July 30,
1985.
On
June
22,
1985
a
Unit
3 plant
heatup
was
in progress
in
accordance
with Operating
Procedure
(OP)
0202. 1, dated
April 12,
1985,
entitled
Reactor
Startup - Cold Conditions to Hot Shutdown
Conditions.
Section
3. 12'3 of the procedure
required that the boron concentration
in
each
be verified to be at least
1950
ppm prior to exceeding
an
RCS temperature
of 200F.
An on-the-spot-change
(OTSC)
was
approved
to
move this
requirement
to
another
section
of
OP
0202. 1 which
was
not
performed until after
the
required
sampling
temperature
of Technical
Specification
4. 1, Table
4'-2, item
10 was exceeded.
FPL responded
to this violation in letters
L-85-342, dated August 29,
1985
and L-86-31, dated January
24,
1986.
The licensee
stated
in part:
"At the
time of the
incident,
the

drained
and
preparations
were being
made for a reactor coolant

that
moved
the
sampling
to
a
later

in
the
procedure.
Another
factor
contributing
to
this
misinterpretation
was
the
Overpressure

the
TS requirement
back into the procedure

sequence."
In both instances,
when
unable to obtain
a required
sample,
licensee
personnel
chose to omit; rather than meet,
the requirement.
The
decision
not to fill the
was
influenced
by
a
licensee
interpretation
of TS 3. 15. 1
which precluded
the
opening of accumulator

Regulating
Valve Concerns
On
July 28,
1987,
Unit
4
was
required
to
reduce
power
to
approximately
15% to facilitate repairs
to
the
4A
regulating valve,
FCV-4-478.
The
two piece
coupling which secures
the valve actuator
to the valve
stem
was
observed
to
be shifting,
allowing valve
stem
movement
independent
of actuator
motion.
The
coupling for FCV-4-478 was replaced with a coupling from a Unit 3
feedwater regulating valve.
NCR-87-187
was generated
to address
this
issue.
The
recommended
di sposition
of the
non-conformance
report
(NCR)
was to install
a bolt into
a
spare
connection
port in the
coupling to maintain proper orientation.
On August 5,
1987,
Unit 4
was
required
to
reduce
power again to approximately
15% due to
a
similar problem with the coupling of the
4C
regulating
valve.
Troubleshooting
revealed that during the previous re-assembly
of the valves,
the coupling halves
for the
4B and
4C
regulating
valves
had
been
interchanged:
Due to inexact machining
the
interchanged
valves
didn't
provide
full
thread
engagement,
allowing
independent
actuator
and
stem
motion.
The
were restored
to their appropriate
valves
and set
screws
were installed
and the unit was returned to
100% power.
An Event
Response
Team
(ERT),
(FPL correspondence
PTN-TECH-87-534),
was formed to address
the feedwater
regulating
valve problems.
The
long term corrective action is to replace
the existing couplings with
designed
by
Fisher
Valve,
during
the
next
outage
of
sufficient duration.
b.
System Piping Thickness
Concerns
The licensee
established
an initial program to perform ultra sonic
wall thickness
inspections
on
selected
fittings in the
system
in response
to the
Surry .pipe rupture
event
(IEN 86-106).
Engineering
correspondence
JPE-PTPM-87-616,
dated April 27,
1987,
delineated
the
inspection
program
and
acceptance
criteria.
The
acceptance
criteria was that the
measured
thickness
must
be greater
o
11
than
Tm
+ 0.075
inches,
where
Tm is the
minimum wall thickness
required to withstand internal pressure,
or an
NCR must
be generated.
The following NCRs were generated:

could have precluded
the effective operation of the
inverter room halon system.
The failure to have
a continuously alert
fire watch constitutes
an
inadequate
implementation
of AP-15500
and
and is an example of violation (250,251/87-35-02).
Although this discrepancy
was identified by the licensee
and promptly
compensated
for,
a violation is
being
issued
because
of
past
occurrences
of

by
FPL management.
Corrective actions
are being developed
and will be reviewed
subsequent
to the licensee's
response
to the Notice of Violation.
Valve Lock Found Incorrectly Attached
On
August 6,
1987,
during
a
routine plant tour,
the
inspectors
noticed that instrument air valve 3-40-856
was not locked as required
by procedure
O-ADM-205, Administrative Control of Valves,
Locks,
and
Switches,
revision dated July 18,
1987.
The valve
was closed,
as
required,
and the lock was closed,
However,
the lock wire was not
properly
engaged
through
the
valve
handwheel
and
around
the
instrument air pipe.
Consequently,
the valve could
be
opened
while
the
lock
remained
engaged.
The
licensee
promptly corrected
the
discrepancy.
TS 6.8. 1
requires,
in part,
that
procedures
be
established
and
implemented which meet or exceed
the recommendations
of Appendix A of
Regulatory
Guide
(RG)
1.33.
Appendix A,
item 1.c
specifies
that procedures
should
be developed
to control
equipment
through locking and tagging.
The failure to maintain
valve 3-40-856
locked is an example of violation (250/87-35-02).
Emergency
Diesel Generator Operability, Test Requirement
On July 30,
1987,
at 4:45 p.m.,
the
A
EDG was
taken out of service
for routine preventive
maintenance.
Approximately twenty hours later
at 12:00

the maintenance
was completed
and the
post maintenance
operability test run was
commenced.
Rated
speed

attained
but
the

At
3:37 p.m.,
approximately
twenty
three
hours
after
being
taken
out of service,
the repairs to the A EDG were completed
and the post maintenance
operability test run was
recommended.
The A
EDG was successfully
run, the procedures
and accompanying
data

were reviewed
as satisfactory
and the
A
EDG was returned
to service
at 7:35 p.m., twenty six hours

Contrary
to
the
above,
the
licensee
failed to
comply with the
requirements
of TS 3.7.2.b,
in that

without verifying the operability of the
B EDG.
This is
a violation
of TS 3.7.2.b (250,251/87-35-03).
The licensee
took .prompt corrective actions to prevent recurrence
of
this event.
FPL correspondence
PTN-TECH-87-539 was generated
stating
in part that, the more conservative
interim TS 3.8. l. 1, applicable to
EDG operability,
be
implemented
immediately.
Operations
personnel
were instructed
to meet the following guidance
in order to achieve
regulatory compliance.
(1) If an
EDG is discovered to be inoperable, test the remaining
for operability within 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> s of the discovery

for preplanned
maintenance
or other modifications, test
the
remaining
EDG for
operability
prior to taking
the
EOG out of
ser vice for the
maintenance
and test
the
remaining
EDG at least
once
per
24
hours thereafter.
This will ensure
that 'the units

(CCW) Heat Exchanger
Cleaning
Concerns
During
review of the
Plant
Supervisor-Nuclear
(PSN)
and Shift
Technical
Advisor
(STA)
logs
of July 23,
1987,
the
inspectors
identified an apparent
discrepancy
in the
CCW heat exchanger
cleaning
requireme'nts.
The
PSN log
and
equipment
out of service
(EOOS)
log
documented that the
4C
CCW heat exchanger
was declared
out of service
for
cleaning
at
8:00 p.m.
on
July 23,
1987.
The
ICW inlet
temperature/date
and
CCW heat exchangers
in service curve,
in the
log indicated that plant conditions existed
such that
a valve watch
operator
was required
to
be
posted
at
TCV-2201 prior to removing
a
heat
exchanger
from service.
The
STA log conflicts with the
PSN log
entries,
in that it documents
the
4C
CCW heat
exchanger
as
being
declared
out of service
and
a valve watch operator
posted at TCV-2201
at 10:00 p.m.
on July 23,
1987.
The inspectors'oncern
was that had
the
4C
CCW heat exchanger
been
removed
from service at 8:00 p.
m. and
the valve watch operator
not been
posted until 10:00 p.m. that for
this
2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> period the licensee
would have
met the
requirements
of
safety
evaluation/JCO
JPE-6-85-38,
Revision 3.
More importantly in
this
scenario
the
Unit 4
CCW system
would not
have
been
able to
accept
and dissipate
the
MHA heat load of 12.0
x 10E6 BTU/HR.
The
inspectors
immediately
brought
this
concern
to
licensee
management,
who in tUrn initiated
an investigation.
Personnel
on
shift July 23,
1987 were contacted
and time
sheets
were
reviewed.
The licensee
concluded that the
STA log entries
were in error.
The
15
4C
CCW heat
exchanger
was in fact removed
from service at 8:00 p.m.
on July 23,
1987, but
a reactor
operator trainee was'roperly
posted
as the valve watch operator at TCV-2201 at 7:30
pm.
The inspectors
independently
reviewed the time sheets
of the trainee
and
interviewed
him to
ensure
that
he
in fact
had
been
properly
posted
and informed of his responsibilities
as the valve watch.

'to the
need for additional
NRC response
to the event.
Additionally, the
following issues
were
examined,
as
appropriate:
details
regarding
the
cause
of the event;
event chronology; safety
system performance;
licensee
compliance with approved
procedures;
radiological
consequences,
if any;
and proposed corrective
actions.
The licensee
plans to issue
LERs on each
event within 30 days following the date of occurrence.
On July 28,
1987, while Unit 4 was at
100% power, it was discovered that
the
(SG) feedwater flow control valve actuator
was not
properly coupled to the valve
stem.
Automatic closure
on the valve
was
not affected,
but it was determined that the valve would not have remained
properly
seated
after
receipt
of
isolation.
In
order
to
faci lttate repairs,
a
power
reduction
to approximately
15%
power
was
required.
An
ERT
was
formed
in
response
to this
event.
Refer
to
paragraph
9.
On July 29,
1987, while Unit 4 was at
100% power,
a voltage spike occurred
in the process
radiation monitor system
(PRMS) rack and resulted
in
PRMS
4-R-11
tripping.
Containment
ventilation
isolation
and
control
room
ventilation isolation occurred
as
designed.
The voltage
spike occurred
when
an
I&C technician .increased
the
PRMS
R-15 high voltage
supply from
1000 volts to 1500 volts.
PRMS R-11 was reset.
On July 31,
1987, while Unit 3 was in Mode 5, the reactor trip breakers
opened
due to Nuclear Instrumentation
System
(NIS) channel
N-36 (spiking
high) high flux trip.
Trip breakers
were reset
and tripped manually to
verify SOE printout received.
N-36 high flux trip did not printout due to
the
channel
being inhibited.
N-36 was placed
in level trip bypass
and
taken
out
of
service
under
clearance
3-87-7-156.
A
suspected
bad
cable/connector
was the probable
cause of trip.

On July 31,
1987, while Unit 3 was in Mode 5,
a class
B fire occurred at
1:20
pm,
east
of Unit 3 Turbine Plant Cooling Water
(TPCW) pumps,
due to
a hydrogen
gas
leak
near
a construction activity involving grinding
and
welding.
The leak- was identified on
a fitting between drain valve 3-4617U
and PI-3-1059E.
It was located
under
a construction
work area,
covered
by
hot work permit ¹7-528, for Control Work Order
(CWO) A-433.
The fire team
responded
and using
C02 extinguishers
put out the fire.
A water hose
was
also
used to cooldown the piping.
The hydrogen
supply from the gas
house
was
isolated.
The
leak
was
repaired
by
1&C
and
checks
for other
leaks-identified
and repaired.
Fire was reported out at 1:30
pm.
Summary of International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Activities
In fulfillment of the
Safeguards
Agreement
between
the United States
and
the
IAEA, the
IAEA selected,
on July 19,
1985,
Turkey Point Unit 4 for
participation in its international
safeguards
inspection
program.
A major
portion of this program requires
the continuous
surveillance
of the fuel
inventory
through
camera
monitoring
and
seal
wire
placement.
The
surveillance
program
ensures
that
the
fuel
inventory
does
not
change
between
physical audits.
The
NRC inspectors verified, during routine tours of the Unit 4 Spent
Fuel
Pool
(SFP)
and the accessible
portions of the containment
building, that
seal
wires were in place
and intact
and that surveillance
cameras
were
operable'eal
wires are
placed
by
IAEA inspectors
on the
containment
equipment
access
hatch,
the missile
shields
and the reactor
vessel
head
seismic restraints.
Only the
seal
wires
on the
equipment
hatch
can
be
observed
from outside the containment building.
The containment building
is not normally entered during power operation.
Two surveillance
cameras
are
installed
in the Unit
4
SFP.
The
area
is
always
accessible
through locked and alarmed doors.

Design,
Design
Changes,
and Modifications
(37700)
An
inspection
was
conducted
to ascertain
the
licensee's
methods
of
assuring
that
design
changes
and
modifications
meet
the
review
and
approval criteria specified
in the Technical
Specifications
and
Previous
reviews
of design
changes
were
documented
in
NRC
Inspection
Report 250,251/87-14,
paragraphs
8a through 8c.
In
a
May 21,
1987 letter the licensee
was informed that the emergency diesel
generator
sequencer
wiring discrepancies
described
in paragraphs
8a
and
8b of the
report were
under consideration
for escalated
enforcement
action.
In
a
July 21,
1987 letter
the
NRC concluded
that
the wiring discrepancies
represented
a Severity
Level IV violation.
The
sequencer
wiring errors
were
found because
the licensee
conducted, an
expanded wiring evaluation
.
after identifying
and correcting
a protection
relay discrepancy.
The
sequencer
wiring discrepancies
were
licensee
identified,
were
promptly
corrected
and could not reasonably
be expected
to have
been
prevented
by
the corrective action'rom
a previous violation.
Consequently,
pursuant
to the provisions of 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C,
no notice of violation was
issued for the item.
18
Additional Plant
Change Modifications (PC/Ms) were evaluated
in the areas
of
containment
spray,
auxiliary
and
main
steam
isolation.
Specifically, reviews were conducted of the following:
PC/M 87-194
Unit 3 Containment
Spray Restricting Orifice
PC/M 87-177
Unit 4 Containment
Spray Restricting Orifice
PC/M 85-175

Each
of the
PC/M
packages
contained
a written safety
evaluation
which
concluded
that
change
could
be
implemented
without prior
NRC approval
under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59.
Each modification resulted
in the
respective
system,
as
described
in
the
Final
Safety
Analysis
Report
(FSAR), being changed
to provide increased reliability.
None of the
PC/Ms
required
changes

Containment
Spray Restricting Orifice
PC/M
87-177
and
PC/M
87-194
were
developed
to install
a
flow
restricting orifice at the discharge
of the Unit 3 and
4 containment
spray
pumps.
In
May 1987,
the licensee
determined that the absence
of flow orifices resulted
in the potential
for insufficient net

(NPSH)
and
pump
runout.
documented
this
concern.
The
PC/Ms
provided
analyses
to justify
orifice design
and installation.
Additionally, the
low level alarm
setpoint of each refueling water storage
tank
(RWST)
was reset
from
33 feet to
40 feet to assure
adequate
NPSH at the containment
pump
suction piping.
The safety evaluations for PC/M 87-177
and
PC/M 87-194 were reviewed
by the inspectors
and found to meet the requirements
of 10 CFR 50.59.
In addition to the licensee's
safety evaluation the
PC/Ms contained
a
safety evaluation
performed
by Westinghouse
(SECL-87-223,
Revision 2)
which concluded that,
in
no case
would the orifice installation or
RWST level
alarm setpoint
change
exceed
any system design
parameter
or regulatory limit.
The
safety
evaluations
were
comprehensive
in
scope
taking into
account the following areas:

Removal of Iodine from the Containment
Atmosphere
Recirculation
Loop Leakage

In
May 1987,
when the
need for installed orifices
was identified,
both Unit 3
and
4 were already
shutdown for unrelated
maintenance
items.
PC/M 87-177
and
PC/M 87-194
were
implemented prior to each
unit being returned to power.
PC/M 87-177
was initially reviewed
and
approved
by the
Plant
Nuclear
Safety
Committee
(PNSC)
on
May 19,
1987.
Supplement
1 was approved
on June
6,
1987
and Supplement
2 was
approved
on June
17,
1987.
PC/M 87-194 was reviewed
and approved
by
the
PNSC
on June
17,
1987.
Drawings
essential
to
plant
operation
subsequent
to
orifice
installation were promptly i ssued.
Drawing 5610-M-470-46/87-194
was
created
to
show
orifice

Revision
71
was
issued
June
5,
1987
documenting
the
new system configuration for Unit 4.
Revision
73 to the drawing was
issued
on July 15,
1987,
documenting
the Unit 3 configuration.
The
drawings were updated prior to the units returning to power.
Plant
procedure
changes
were
reviewed to ensure that the
PC/Ms were
incorporated into operating instructions.
Each
PC/M package
contained
a list of procedures
which were affected
by the
change
in the
low level
alarm setpoint.
Numerous
Emergency
Operating
Procedures
(EOPs)
were affected
by the alarm setpoint
change
because
the switch
from post
LOCA injection to recirculation is initiated upon receipt
of the
low
RWST level
alarm.
The following procedures
for Units
3
and
4 were verified to have
been
updated to reflect changes
in system
operation.
The changes
incorporated
a
new
NPSH requirement
to place
1
pump in pull-to-lock after the low level alarm is reached.

Process
sheet
87-170 for PC/M 87-194 was reviewed to verify that the
modification was
performed
in accordance
with approved
procedures.
The administration of process
sheets
is controlled by Administrative
Site Procedure
(ASP) 2.
The process
sheet
was initially approved
by
the
PNSC
on
June
23,
1987.
Revision
1 to the
process
sheet
was
issued
on July 6,
1987
to cut,
remove
and reinstall
sections
of
downstream
pipe to reduce cold spring pipe misalignment.
This change
necessitated
the
removal
and
subsequent
reinstallation
of safety
related piping and valves
and consequently
constitutes
a modification
to the facility.
Technical Specification 6.5. 1.6.d requires that the
PNSC review all proposed
changes
or modifications to plant systems
or
equipment that affect nuclear safety.
All nuclear safety related
process
sheets
are required to be reviewed
by the
PNSC
as
specified
in
ASP 2, section 5.6.2.
However, section
6.6.9 of ASP
2 specifies that work controlled by
a process
sheet
(or
a revision to
a process
sheet)
may proceed
when the process
sheet
has
been
approved
by
the
Field
Engineer,
Quality Control,
Quality
Assurance
and the Construction Supervisor,
but before
PNSC approval,
when
so directed
by the Project Site Manager or his designee.
If prior
PNSC
approval
for
a
process
sheet
is not sought,
2
requires
that the
proposed
work be discussed
with
a
member of the
Technical
Department
Staff,
the
Nuclear
Plant
Supervisor
and
the
Project
Field Engineer.
A memorandum
is prepared
and the Technical
Department staff representative,
Nuclear Plant Supervisor
and
Area
Construction
Supervisor
sign the form.
The proposed
process
sheet or
revision
to
a
process
sheet
is
routed
to
the
Quality
Control
Department
for review
and
approval
by the
Plant
Manager
Nuclear.
Authorization for work to proceed
is valid for seven
working days
from the date. of the memorandum.
2,
Revision
4,
Section
6.6.9
appears
to conflict with the
requirements
of TS 6.5. 1.6.d in that it allows modifications to
be
performed to the facility which have not been
reviewed
as proposals
by the
PNSC.
This
concern
was
discussed
with the Site
Project
Manager
on
August 24,
1987.
The
inspectors
were
informed that
a
similar finding had
been
made
by the Quality Assurance
Department
relative to this issue.
The Site Project
Manager
had
responded
to
the
finding
and
corrective
action
was
being
implemented.
The
adequacy
of section
6.6.9 of ASP
2 will remain
an
unresolved
item
pending
a review of the Quality Assurance
finding, the Site Projects
,
21
Managers
response
to that finding and
an evaluation of the provisions
of 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix
C with respect to violation issuance
(URI
250,251/87"35-04).
AFW Nitrogen Station Additions and Relocation
PC/Ms85-175
and
85-176 provide for the relocation of an existing
backup
nitrogen bottle station for AFW control valve instrument air
and
adds
a new,'edundant
bottle station
and associated
tubing
and
instruments.
The nitrogen bottle stations
supply backup nitrogen to
each train of the
control
valves
independently,
ensuring
a
more
reliable
supply of
AFW to the
steam
generators.
PC/M 85-176
was
install'ed
during
the
Unit 4
refueling
outage
which
ended
on
September
1,
1986.
PC/N 85-175
was installed
in the Spring of 1987
during
a Unit 3 refueling outage.
Both
PC/Ms were
approved
by the
PNSC
prior
to
implementation.
The
written
safety
evaluation
contained
in section
7 of the
PC/M packages
was reviewed
and found to
be acceptable
with respect
to the requirements
of 10 CFR 50.59.
The
safety
evaluations
were
comprehensive
in
scope,
taking into
account
the following areas:
Seismic Structural
Requirements
Missile Protection
Health Physics
Doserates
During Post Accident Operation
Design Basis Description
and System Function
Accident Consequences
and Probability
The modification packages
contained
a comprehensive list of drawings
and documents
affected
by the change.
Drawing 5610-M-339 revision
23
was
issued
on July 8,
1986,
subsequent
to the installation of
PC/M
85-176 (Unit 4).
Revision
29 was issued
on June
19,
1987, reflecting
the correct configuration of Unit 3.
Drawings were updated prior to
the respective
units entering
mode
3 operation.
In preparation for a walkdown of the Unit 3 and
4 nitrogen trains,
a
copy
of the
applicable
drawing
(5610-M-339)
was
obtained
from
document
control
personnel.
The
copy
provided
was
revision
25.
Several
field
discrepancies
were
identified
between
the
as-constructed
Unit 4 nitrogen
system
and revision
25 of 5610-M-339.
Subsequently, it was
determined
that revision
29
was
the current
revision
of
5610-M-339
and
revision
25
had
been
superseded.
Revision
29
did
not
contain
the
field discrepancies
found
in
revi sion- 25.
The inspector
expressed
a concern that
a superseded
drawing revision
was
issued
from
document
control.
It
was
determined
that
the
licensee
did not
have
a method to identify and mark superseded file
drawings.
Apparently,
revision
25 'was
issued
from the
corporate
engineering
office as
an aperture
card.
The processing
of the card
o
L
22.
from
a blueprint
can
take
several
weeks.
Blueprint drawings
are
immediately available in the document control office because
they are
processed
on site.
Consequently,
the aperture
card
revision of
a
drawing
may
be
superseded
by
a blueprint revision.
No requirement
exists specifying that when
a
new revision is received
in blueprint
form the aperture
card that it supersedes
be marked appropriately or
removed
from the files.
This
creates
the
possibility that
a
superseded
revision to the drawing could be issued.
This potential
was discussed
with document control personnel.
It was
determined that, through experience,
most document
control
personnel
were aware that the aperture
card revision of a drawing
may be out of
date.
Consequently, it is
common practice
from the
aperture
card
revision to
be
checked
against
the latest blueprint revision
and to
issue
for
use
the
more
current
of the
two.
The
licensee
is
evaluating
the advisability of implementing
a marking
system
such
that all versions of superseded
drawings that are retained
in ready
use files are clearly marked
as to their status.
Resolution of this
issue
will
be
tracked
as
an
Inspector
Followup
Item
(250,251/87-35-05).
During
a walkdown of Unit 3
a Plant Work Order
(PWO-308766)
deficiency
tag
was
observed
on
pressure
regulator
PC-1706.
A downstream
i'ndicated
that
the
regulator
was
supplying
105 psi instead of the required
79 to 81 psi.
Repairs
were
begun
on August 21,
1987.
It was determined that the regulator
was
operating
properly.
However,
293
was determined
to
be
improperly seated,
allowing 105 psi instrument air to pressurize
the
nitrogen piping adjacent to the regulator.
Further evaluation,
which
is not yet completed,
indicated that
an incorrect
was
installed
during
PC/M
85-175.
Drawing
5610-J-558,
revision 2,
indicates
that
the correct
check
valve
be designed
to close with
0:33 psi
differential.
A
check
valve
designed
with
10 psi
differential'as
observed to be installed.
Followup on this issue i s
in progress.
Additionally, during the walkdown of the Unit 3 train
2
system
a discrepancy
was identified in the mounting of the current to
pressure (I/P) conversion
module for flow control valve
FCV-3-2832.
This valve
provided
AFW flow control
to the
B
steam
generator.
Apparently, the
I/P, module.was
removed
and remounted during nitrogen
tubing
replacement
associated
with
PC/M 85-175.
When
remounted,
spacers
were not reused
between
the I/P module
and the module support
plate.
LER 250-86-31
documents
an
occasion
when water
accumulated
between
the
back of the I/P module
and its support
plate
causing
moisture
to
enter
the
I/P
module
case
vent.
This resulted
in
solenoid
valve fai lure
and
subsequent
valve inoperability as water
entered
the
sensing
lines.
Corrective action
was specified
in the
LER, which was sent to the
NRC on September
2,
1986 as
an attachment
to licensee letter L-86-355.
Corrective action item 3 specified that
the I/P module cases for all
AFW flow control valves
were
remounted
23
to create
a
space
between
the
module
and its support plate.
The
space
permits
any incidental
water
(such
as rain water
since
the
valves are located outside) to drip down the support plate
and past
the
I/P
module
without
accumulating
behind
the
module.
This
precludes
a repeat
valve failure.
The failure of the licensee
to maintain
spacer s behind the I/P module
case
for AFW
FCV 3-2832
appears
to
be
a deviation
from commitments
specified in
LER 250-86-31.
The
inspector
expressed
concern
over the installation of the incorrect
check valve and removal of the I/P module
ca'se
spacers.
These
two issues
will
receive
additional
inspector
followup
and
evaluation
(IFI 250/87-35-06).
