Reactor

Coolant System

(RCS) temperature

190F, the licensee

was making preparations

to heatup to

greater

than

200F.

TS require specific survei llances to be satisfactorily

performed prior to attaining

an

RCS temperature

of 200F.

Specifically

TS

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

accumulator

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

RCS

pressure

boundary integrity established,

the valves

required to fill the

accumulators

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

accumulator

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

accumulators

were

drained

and

preparations

were being

made for a reactor coolant

system

heatup to

greater

than

200F.

'A conflict in

sampling criteria

vs.

equipment

availability criteria

was misinterpreted

thus allowing

OTSC to be

made to Operating

Procedure

(OP)

0202. 1,

"Reactor

Startup - Cold

Shutdown

to Hot

Shutdown

Conditions",

that

moved

the

accumulator

sampling

to

a

later

step

in

the

procedure.

Another

factor

contributing

to

this

misinterpretation

was

the

Overpressure

Mitigating System

(OMS) Technical Specification which does not allow

opening of motor operated

valve (MOV)-869 with reacto~ coolant system

temperature

below

380F.

MOV-869

is

opened

when filling the

accumulators.

The

OTSC

was cancelled

in order to re-establish

the

TS requirement

back into the procedure

at the proper

sequence."

In both instances,

when

unable to obtain

a required

accumulator

sample,

licensee

personnel

chose to omit; rather than meet,

the requirement.

The

decision

not to fill the

accumulators

was

influenced

by

a

licensee

interpretation

of TS 3. 15. 1

which precluded

the

opening of accumulator

fill valve MOV-869.

Steam Generator

(SG) Feedwater

Regulating

Valve Concerns

On

July 28,

1987,

Unit

4

was

required

to

reduce

power

to

approximately

15% to facilitate repairs

to

the

4A

SG

feedwater

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

SG

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

SG feedwater

regulating

valve.

Troubleshooting

revealed that during the previous re-assembly

of the valves,

the coupling halves

for the

4B and

4C

SG feedwater

regulating

valves

had

been

interchanged:

Due to inexact machining

the

interchanged

coupling

valves

didn't

provide

full

thread

engagement,

allowing

independent

actuator

and

stem

motion.

The

couplings

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

couplings

designed

by

Fisher

Valve,

during

the

next

outage

of

sufficient duration.

b.

Feedwater

System Piping Thickness

Concerns

The licensee

established

an initial program to perform ultra sonic

wall thickness

inspections

on

selected

fittings in the

feedwater

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:

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

USNRC

Regulatory

Guide

(RG)

RG 1.33,

Appendix A,

item 1.c

specifies

that procedures

should

be developed

to control

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

noon

on July 31,

1987,

the maintenance

was completed

and the

post maintenance

operability test run was

commenced.

Rated

speed

was

attained

but

the

"A"

EDG tripped

due to high crankcase

pressure.

Root cause troubleshooting

and analysis

were

commenced.

Operations

personnel

were

advised

by Regulatory

Co'mpliance

to

be

prepared

to run the

B EDG if the

A EDG was not returned

to service

by

4:00 p.m.

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

sheets

were reviewed

as satisfactory

and the

A

EDG was returned

to service

at 7:35 p.m., twenty six hours

and fifty minutes after being

removed

from service.

Contrary

to

the

above,

the

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

EDG

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

and test

the

remaining

EDG at least

once

per

This will ensure

that 'the units

Concerns

During

the

inspectors

identified an apparent

The

PSN log

and

equipment

(EOOS)

log

documented that the

4C

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

PSN

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

would have

met the

this

scenario

the

Unit 4

would not

have

been

able to

immediately

brought

this

concern

to

management,

who in tUrn initiated

an investigation.

Personnel

on

were

reviewed.

The licensee

concluded that the

were in error.

The

exchanger

was in fact removed

from service at 8:00 p.m.

on July 23,

1987, but

a reactor

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.

Plant Events

(93702)

The following plant events

were reviewed to determine facility status

and

the

need for further followup action.

Plant

parameters

were

evaluated

during transient

response.

The significance of the event

was evaluated

along with the

performance

of the

appropriate

safety

systems

and

the

actions

taken

by the

licensee.

The

inspectors

verified that

required

notifications were

made to the

NRC.

Evaluations

were

performed relative

'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

4A Steam Generator

(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

feedwater

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.

13.

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

SFP

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

10 CFR 50.59.

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

feedwater

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

Unit 3

AFW Nitrogen Station Additions and Relocation

PC/M 85-176

Unit 4 AFW Nitrogen Station Additions and Relocation-

Also reviewed were the following implementing administrative

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

to the facility Technical Specifications.

a.

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

positive

suction

head

(NPSH)

and

pump

runout.

LER 250/87-14

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:

Containment

Spray

Pump Performance

Removal of Iodine from the Containment

Atmosphere

Recirculation

Loop Leakage

Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident Analysis

Small

Loading Changes

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

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

RWST

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

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,

ASP

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.

ASP

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

Emergency Lighting

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

AFW nitrogen train 1,

a Plant Work Order

(PWO-308766)

deficiency

tag

was

observed

on

pressure

regulator

PC-1706.

A downstream

gauge

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,

check valve

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

check valve

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

AFW nitrogen

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).
