b.

(Closed)

IEB 75-08

"PWR Pressure

Instrumentation".

As outlined in this

Bulletin, continuously

recorded. data

was required to verify adherence

to pressure

and temperature

limitations under technical

specifications.

Shearon

Harris

has

the

capability

to verify this

adherence

via

installed strip chart recorders

in the control

room.

The inspectors

consider this Bulletin closed.

El ectri ca 1

(51053B,

51063B)

The

inspector

observed

the installation activities

associated

with

class

1E cables

with the

following numbers:

11256B-SA,

109850-SA,

11831/-SA,

11970A-SA,

11869A-SA

and

11831P-SA.

These

observations

related

to cable pulling and termination

and

various

switchgear

and

cabinets.

The following were evaluated

during these

observations:

(1)

The latest termination cards

were in use;

(2)

The size

and type cable

was correct;

(3)

The

cable

identification

(cable

number

and

color

code)

was

correct;

(4)

The correct bending radius

was applied;

(5)

The cable routing was correct;

(6)

The cables

were protected

from damage;

(7)

(}ualified electrical

inspection

personnel

were

monitoring

the

installation activities;

(8)

Approved drawings

and specifications

were being used;

(9)

Approved materials

were being used;

(10) Cleanness;

(ll) Calibration of tools and instruments;

(12) Approved work and inspection

procedures

were being used;

(13) Documentation of inspections

and nonconformances.

The inspector

reviewed

CP&L nonconformance

trend reports for the month

of July 1985 for the electrical

raceway installation activities.

This

trend

indicates

that

the rejection

rate

for first inspections

and

reinspection

of previously rejected

inspections

is increasing

in the

areas

of conduit,

raceway

and electrical

boxes.

This trend indicates

that repetitive inspections

are required in the above

areas

to achieve

acceptable

results.

A review of the

CP&L trend analysis for the first

and

second

quarter

of

1985

indicates

that this

problem

has

been

increasing

each

quarter.

The

second

quarter

trend

analysis

report

shows

that this

adverse

trend

was

addressed

to

CP&L construction

management

at the

second

quarter

trend meeting

on July 19,

1985.

The

construction

manager for electrical

was required to provide

cause

and

preventive

measures

to correct this

trend

by August 23,

1985.

The

resident

inspectors

met with CP&L management

on August

13,

1985

and

discussed

this

trend

and

the

actions

being

taken

by electrical

construction

management

to correct this trend.

CP&L and construction

management

have

taken

steps

to increase

craft training,

and provide

stronger

engineering

and

construction

management

and

supervision

involvement in these

work areas

to produce.

a product that will achieve

a higher acceptability

rate

on its first inspection.

This item will

continue to

be tracked

by the resident

inspector until this trend has

shown significant improvement.

This item is identified as

an Inspector

Follow-up Item "Electrical Nonconformance

Trend Analysis" 400/85-30-02.

No violations or deviations

were noted in the areas

inspected.

6.

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems

(HVAC)

(50100)

The

inspector

accompanied

Construction

Inspection

missing

lockwashers,

bent

flanges,

bolts

not

staked,

drawing

and

documentation

deficiencies

and

welds

not

in

accordance

with

design

requirements.

No

single

identified

item

is

considered

of

major

significance,

but

numbers

alone

indicate

a

weakness

in installation

and

inspection

practices.

These

items

have

been discussed

with CP&L management

and

have

been

documented

in

Nonconformance

Reports

85-1791,

85-1804

and

85-1805.

The above instances

are contrary to the requirements

of 10CFR 50 Appendix B,

Criterion X, ANSI N45.2 and the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report,

section

1.8.5.'10.

This

is

a violation,

"Inadequate

Inspection

of

400/85-30-01.

Except

as

noted,

no violations or deviations

were identified in the areas

inspected.

7.

Fire Prevention/Protection

(42051C)

a.

The inspectors

observed

the fire prevention

and protection activities

related to containing combustible materials

where the ignition of these

materials

could

damage

safety-related

structures.

The inspectors

also

observed

the ongoing site training activities for the construction fire

brigade.

b.

Some

of the

specific

areas

observed

by the

inspectors

during this

period were:

(I)

Nonflammable

protective

coverings

were

observed

over

such

equipment

as the electrical control cabinets at elevation 286'f

the

reactor

auxiliary building

and

over various

safety-related

pumps

and components

located throughout the plant.

(2)

The inspectors

observed

during the various tours of the reactor

auxiliary

building

and

the

containment

building

that

the

accumulation

of combustible

materials

in these

areas

was

being

minimized.

(3)

Flammable

materials

were

stored

to

prevent

or

reduce

the

likelihood of combustion.

(4)

Welding activities were observed

in at least

30 separate

locations

throughout

the site

and in each

instance it was

observed

that

appropriate

fire extinguishing

equipment

was available

within

close proximity of the welding activities.

It was also noted that

the

portable

fire

extinguishers

contained

sufficient

fire

extinguishing

medium,

as

evidenced

by

displaying

current

inspection stickers

and having unbroken

seals.

(5)

The inspectors

observed that at the various elevations

throughout

the reactor auxiliary building and the containment building, fire

suppression

devices

were

strategically

located

and

readily

available

for use.

c.

A review of the fire brigade drill and training records

showed that

.drills

and training

are

conducted

on

a regular

basis

for the fire

brigade

members.

No violations or deviations

were noted in the areas

inspected.

8.

Storage

(50073C)

The inspector

toured

warehouses

1,

2

and

3,

the operations

warehouse,

and

various

plant

equipment

storage

areas.

During

the tours,

the

storage

conditions of the equipment

were evaluated

to determine

whether requirements

are being met as follows:

a.

Piping and equipment,

in general,

were stored off the ground or floors

to prevent entry of dirt into them, or contamination

from environmental

conditions.

b.

The storage

areas

were identified sufficiently to provide identity and

locations

as required

by those

who

may

be

seeking

the

locations

of

parts or equipment.

  • c.

Access

was adequate

for placement

or removal of parts

and equipment.

d.

were

being

maintained

as

required.

f.

Access to plant storage

areas

was being maintained.

g.

Equipment installed heaters

were energized

as required.

h.

Protective

covers

were in place.

No violations or deviations

were identified in the areas

inspected.

Preoperational

Test Program

(71302,

42400B)

The inspectors

toured various plant areas

to verify that the following

items were evaluated

to assure

compliance with requirements:

(1)

The general

condition of the plant's

housekeeping

and the overall

condition of the equipment

were observed.

(2)

The plant

was

found to

be free of any major fire hazards.

Fire

extinguishing

equipment

was

readily

available,

and

flammable

materials

were

being

protected

from ignition sources

and

were

being

controlled

in

accordance

with

site

administrative

procedures.

(3)

The

inspectors

observed

electrical

personnel

placing

cables

in

thei r respective

cable trays

and conduits.

Sufficient care

was

being taken to prevent

damage to the cables

being

placed,

and to

cables

which had already

been installed.

(4)

The

inspectors

looked

for uncontrolled

openings

in previously

cleaned

or flushed

systems

or components.

Where

system

openings

were

identified,

cleanness

controls

were

established

during

flushing.

(5)

The inspectors

observed

one instance

where construction

personnel

were working on electrical

equipment which had already

been turned

over to the start-up

group.

The work was being accomplished

under

the

proper

administrative

controls

provided

in

the

Start-up

Manual.

b.

The

inspectors

reviewed

log

books

maintained

by the test

group

to

identify problems

or plant activities that

may

be

appropriate

for

additional follow-up.

c.

The

inspectors

evaluated

the activities being'conducted

by the

CP&L

operations

QA surveillance

personnel.

QA surveillance

personnel

were

present

and

observed

the major preoperational

tests

conducted

during

this reporting period.

The results of their observations

were promptly

documented

and distributed

to

those

responsible

for the activities

which were observed.

d.

The

inspectors

observed

operations

personnel

deenergizing

electrical

components

as required

by the clearance

program

when equipment is being

placed out of commission for repairs,

tests

or rework.

e.

The

inspectors

observed

the

status

of

the

plant

being

correctly

identified in the control

room by operations

personnel.

f.

During this inspection period the inspectors

reviewed

and witnessed

the

conduct

of

the

Emergency

Diesel

Generator

Phase

Verification

and

Initial Synchronization,

1-5095-0-1.

The

inspectors

reviewed

the

procedure

to verify the following:

(1)

An approved test

procedure

was available

and in use

by the test

personnel;

(2)

Test equipment

being

used

was calibrated

and any jumpers installed

were controlled by the applicable administrative

procedures;

(3)

Changes

to

the

procedure

were

documented

in

accordance

with

administrative

procedures.

The inspectors

witnessed all portions of this test

and noted several

identified material deficiencies.

These

problems

were identified

during testing

and were consequently

corrected

by the site personnel

prior to test completion

as identified below:

(1)

Several

diesel

shutdowns

occurred

due to low jacket water

flow;

this item was resolved

by the licensee

by identifying a downstream

pneumatic

pressure

switch which

was

leaking,

causing

a

false

signal.

The licensee

replaced this switch, thereby correcting the

problem.

(2)

Diesel

shutdown

by the loss of K-1 relay.

This item occurred

due

to the fact that the

AC and

DC contacts

were improperly installed

making the

K-1 relay inoperable.

The licensee

replaced

the

K-1

relay with one from onsite

and completed this test.

(3)

The

inspectors

were

informed

by the

licensee

that

the diesel

generator

turbo exhaust

piping

had exhibited

excessive

movement

and

noise

during the initial 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> run period.

The licensee

investigated

these

abnormalities

and

found that

the

south

bank

turbocharger

discharge

piping

thermal

expansion

piece

(bellows)

showed excessive

deterioration.

The licensee

determined

that

the

root cause for this deficiency occurred

when the high temperature

and flow rate of the exhaust

gases

eroded

the material,

causing

bellows failure.

In addition to this justification, the licensee

and technical

representative

have performed

a thorough

inspection

of the turbocharger

internals

to insure that

no bellows material

was

entrained

back

to

the

internals

of

the

turbocharger.

Corrective action by the licensee

has included:

(a)

Replacement

of the

damaged

bellows;

(b)

Addition of

a

second

thermal

expansion joint prior to the

exhaust

pip entry to the muffler, which includes cutting the

flange off the exhaust

pipe

and welding

a

new flange

piece

onto

the

exhaust

pipe

to

allow bolting

the

new

thermal

expansion

piece into place.

g.

The

inspectors

observed

both construction

and test

personnel

during

performance

of selected

activities for the

1A-SA diesel

generator.

These

evaluations

included

high

pressure

air

compressor

runs,

air

receiver

and dryer operations,

diesel

generator

control board

and motor

control center

maintenance,

and inspection

of the generator

windings.

The

inspectors

interviewed test

personnel

and

the

diesel

generator

representative

to determine

the current

status

of the diesels.

From

these

interviews

the

inspectors

have

determined

that

there

are

not

unidentified problems with the diesels

to date.

Harris

management

continues

to actively institute

a security

program

for the diesel

generator building.

No violations or deviations

were identified in the areas

inspected.

10.

Operations Training

(36301B)

The inspectors

reviewed the operational

training for personnel

at the Harris

Site.

The

review

included

interviews

with the

operational .staff

and

management

and

an evaluation of operations

personnel

training records.

The

evaluation

was

conducted

on ten percent of the the

CP&L personnel

who have

applied for cold licensing

approval

as

reactor

operators

or

as

senior

reactor

operators.

The inspectors

evaluated

the training records for the plant general

manager

and

the

radiation

protection

supervisor.

The

records

were

found to

be

legible

and

were

documented

on

the

forms

required

by

the

applicable

operations training instruction

(TI-906).

As

a result of the record

review,

the inspectors

found one instance

where

the training history sheet for the plant general

manager,

did not reflect

his current training status.

This concern

was discussed

with responsible

CP&L supervision

and is

being further evaluated

by

CP&L operations

gA

surveillance

personnel.

This condition is identified as

an unresolved

item

"Training Records for Operations"

400/85-30-03.

No violations were identified in the areas

inspected.
