Results:

In the area of surveillance,

a violation was identified by an NRC,inspector

during the review of a completed containment visual inspection surveillance,

paragraph

2.

Three elevations

were not inspected

due to refueling operations

in progress.

The licensee's

review of the surveillance

by several

groups did

not detect the problem.

The licensee

conducted

an analysis for operability

and initiated an incident investigation of the problem.

In the area -of maintenance

(modification),

a violation was identified by an

NRC inspector concerning the upgrade of an offsite power source in the

switchyard,

paragraph

5.

Mork plans being used did not contain the proper

signatures

for numerous

items.

The work was being performed

by customer

service

group craft that were not trained

on work plans.

There

was

no quality

control

involvement with the modification and only a contractor field engineer

providing supervision.'he

licensee

stopped

the job and provided training to

the craft on work plans.

In the area of plant support,

a violation was identified by the licensee for a

missed fire watch for an inoperable

carbon dioxide system,

paragraph

7.

A

similar event occurred

on June 4,

1993,

when

a required firewatch was relieved

prior to the system being declared

operable.

In th'e area of engineering,

a violation was identified with two examples of

design errors concerning

Appendix

R, paragraph

7.

The first example

was that

power supply cables for both reactor water cleanup

system containment isola-

tion valves were routed in the

same fire zone without adequate

separation.

The second

example

was that

a fault in the power supply to

a raw cooling water

pump was not adequately

separated

to prevent propagation to

a shutdown board.

Both of the issues

are being covered

by compensatory fire watches

but will

require extensive plant modification during the next refueling outage to

correct.

In the area of engineering/technical

support,

a violation with two examples

was identified by an

NRC inspector for failing to make the required

10 CFR 50.72

and 50.73 reports,

paragraph

8.

The first example

was that two trains

of the standby

gas treatment

system were inoperable

and could have prevented

the fulfillment of a safety function.

The second

example

was that two

Appendix

R design errors resulted

in the plant being outside the design basis.

In the area of surveillance,

a noncited violation was identified for

an

inadvertent

emergency

equipment cooling water

pump motor start during

a

surveillance,

paragraph

2.

The licensee

made

a 4-hour notification and

initiated

an incident investigation of this event.

A second party check

was

not performed adequately

to prevent the installation of jumpers

on

a wrong

relay.

In the area of plant support,

an unresolved

item was identified concerning

an

undocumented

modification to the diesel

driven fire pump that prevented

the

automatic start function, paragraph

5.

The 'licensee initiated an incident

investigation of this event.

IP

P'

In the area of operations,

routine control of plant evolutions

such

as

backfilling reactor water level reference'egs

and response

to equipment

failures were good.

These evolutions are conducted

in

a controlled cautious

manner.

Upgrades to focus

on operable

and

common equipment in the Unit I

control area

was good.

In the area of radiological controls,

a weakness

was noted in the implementa-

tion of the use of digital alarming dosimeters,

paragraph

4.

Personnel

were

not familiar with how to properly wear the dosimeters

or the purpose of the

alarm.

Surveillance Observation

(61726)

The inspectors

observed

and/or reviewed the performance of required SIs.

The inspections

included reviews of the SIs for technical

adequacy

and

conformance

to TS, verification of test instrument calibration,

observa-

tions of the conduct of testing,

confirmation of proper removal

from

service

and return to service of systems,

and reviews of test data.

The

inspectors

also verified that

LCOs were met, testing

was accomplished

by

2'ualified

personnel,

and the SIs were completed within the required

frequency.

The following SIs were reviewed during this reporting

pet iod:

a.

b.

RCIC Turbine Exhaust

Rupture Disc High Pressure

Calibration

On February

1,

1994,

the inspector witnessed

the performance of

portions of 2-SI-4.2.B-34{A) and 2-SI-4.2.B-34{C), Reactor

Core

Isolation Cooling System Turbine Exhaust

Rupture Disc High Pres-

sure Calibration for the 2-PS-71-11A

and 2-PS-71-11C,

respective-

ly.

These switches

sense

pressure

in the rupture disc volume and

isolate the

RCIC steam supply valves

on increased

pressure.

This

surveillance, verifies the switches

are in calibration

and satis-

fies the requirements

of TS Table 4.2.B.

The inspector verified

the test

equipment

being used

was appropriate for the job, the

procedure

was the most current revision,

and the instruments

were

removed

from service,

tested,

and returned to service within the

time allowed by the

LCO.

The inspector also reviewed the complet-

ed procedure

and noted

no discrepancies..

In addition, 2-SI-4.2.B-

40A,

RCIC System

Logic Functional Test,

was reviewed

by the

inspector to verify that all components

of the turbine exhaust

rupture disc pressure

high isolation logic were being tested.

While performing this review the inspector

noted errors

on RCIC

.logic drawings

2-45E626-1

and 2-45E626-2.

These discrepancies

were of minor significance but were brought to the attention of

the system engineer for his review and validation.

The system

engineer initiated

PDD 94-055 to correct the ei rors.

No other

discrepancies

were noted.

Inadvertent Start of EECW

Pump

On February 4,

1994, during the performance of O-SI-4.2.B-67,

RHR

Service Water Initiation Logic,

A3

EECW pump inadvertently start-

ed.

During this portion of the SI jumpers

are installed to

prevent automatic starting of RHRSW pumps

on simulated 'low RCW

.

system pressure.

The jumpers should

have

been placed

on relay

SSCRA but were installed

on

a relay labeled

SPARE.

The inspector

reviewed the SI procedure

and the procedure

step

was required to

be second party checked.

The inspector toured the 4kV Shutdown

Board

3EA in the

DG building where the relays are located.

The

two relays

are clearly marked with an identification label under-

neath

each relay on the front of the panel.

The jumpers

are

'laced

on the back of the panel.

The

SSCRA relay is located

directly above the

SPARE relay.

The licensee

made

a 4-hour notification per

10 CFR 50.72,

and

Incident Investigation II-8-94-05 was initiated for the event.

Since there

have

been

no similar violations during the past

two

years, this violation of procedural

compliance

meets

the criteria

for a licensee identified violation.

It, will be identified as

NCV 259,

260,

296/94-01-01,

Inadequate

Second

Party Check.

This

violation will not be subject to enforcement

action because

the

licensee's

efforts in identifying and correcting the violation met

the criteria specified in Section VII.B of the Enforcement Policy.

Containment

Coatings

During the first quarter of 1991,

TVA's Nuclear guality Audit and

Evaluation Department

performed

an audit of Service

Level I

Protective

Coating

Programs for all TVA nuclear plants.

This

inspection effort reviews the results of the audit

and corrective

actions

as they relate to the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.

Two

findings were identified by the audit team at Browns Ferry.

The first and more significant issue dealt with the failure to

identify the addition of uncontrolled coatings into the Unit 2

containment for evaluation

and possible inclusion in the uncon-

trolled coatings log.

Additionally, nuclear engineering

had

failed to identify all uncontrolled coatings in the log during

initial baseline

walkdowns.

'As

a result of these findings, the

licensee

reperformed

a baseline

evaluation

of- the containment to

identify all uncontrolled coatings.

This 'effort resulted

in the

issuance of a revised

containment

coating log.

Numerous

items

were identified with uncontrolled coatings with thicknesses

greater

than

3 mils.

The majority of the items identified with

coatings greater

than

3 mi1s were

sanded

and feathered

down to

a

dry film thickness of less than or equal to 3 mils.

This work was

performed in accordance

with work order 91-27917-00.

Items with

uncontrolled coatings of 3 mils or less

were accepted

as is based

on Detroit Edison Report

No. DECO-12-2191,

Revision

4 (June

1985),

"Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant Unit No.

2 - Evaluation of

Containment Coatings."

This report concludes that coatings with a

dry film thickness of 3 mils or less

are too thin to form debris

that might contribute to strainer blockage.

This position has

been

accepted

by the

NRC.

The inspector

reviewed the updated unqualified containment coat-

ings log which is documented

under guality Information Re-

quest/Release

gIRMTBBFN88025,

Rev.

4.

This document

also provides

the unqualified containment

coatings evaluation.

All unqualified

containment coatings,

including those with a dry film thickness of

less

than

3 mils, are included in the log.

The total allowable

unqualified coatings

(with a dry film thickness of greater

than

3

mils) is

157 square

feet..

This amount of coating,

which might

flake off during

an accident,

would not block

ECCS

pump strainers

enough to affect the net positive suction

head requirements

of the

RHR and core spray

pumps.

Currently,

Browns Ferry's uncontrolled

containment

coating log lists approximately

78 square feet of

coating with a dry film thickness of greater

than

3 mils.

This

amount is well within the

157 square foot limit.

Additional corrective actions for this matter involved revising

HAI-5.3,.(a Hodification and Addition Work Instruction Procedure),

Protective Coatings,

to control all Service

Level I protective

coatings

at the site.

All personnel

associated

with writing and

planning of work plans (modifications)

and work orders

(mainte-

nance)

were informed of the requirements

of MAI-5.3.

Additional-

ly,

a special

work step

was inserted into the work plan logic in

(SSP-9.3,

Plant Modifications and Design

Change Control,) to

require all material

being installed inside primary containment to

be coated with Level I coatings or evaluated

per MAI-5.3.

Like-

wise,

SSP-6.2,

Maintenance

Management

System,

was revised to

require that all painted material

being installed inside primary

containment

be evaluated

per MAI-5.3.

These actions

were reviewed

by the inspector

and found to be acceptable.

The second

issue identified by the audit team dealt with protec-

tive coating failures in the Unit 2 drywell.

Numerous

areas of

lack of adhesion

and delamination of coatings

were noted

on

various elevations

and azimuth locations within the drywell.

These

items were dispositioned

in accordance

with

WO 90-08921-00

by removing the coatings

not properly adhering to the base surfac-

es.

Procedure

MAI-5.3, Protective Coatings,

and

TS 4.7.A.2.K,

requires that the drywell surfaces

be inspected

each

18 months for

structural integrity and condition of coatings.

This inspection

provides

adequate'measures

to ensure

containment

coatings

remain

in an acceptable

condition.

On January

27,

1994,

as

a part of this inspection effort, the

inspector

reviewed completed surveillance

records for O-SI-4.7.A.-

2.K, Primary Containment

Drywell Surface Visual Inspection,

which

was performed during the Unit 2 Cycle

6 refueling outage.

The SI

was performed April 28,

1993.

The review indicated that visual

inspections

required

by steps 7.6.2, 7.6.3,

and 7.6.4 were not

completed for the upper three elevations

(604', 616',

and 633') in

the Unit 2 drywell.

These

inspections

involved visually verifying

that

no structural

damage,

displacement,

or deterioration existed

in relation to piping connectors,

supports,

penetrations,

struc-

tural supports,

platform steel,

duct hangers,

concrete walls, the

steel liner; and the cable trays.

The data sheet

associated

with

the inspection

indicated that only the lower three elevations

(550', 563',

and 584') were inspected

due to ongoing fuel loading.

The inspector

brought this matter to the attention of the licens-

ee.

The licensee

promptly reviewed the matter for operability and

potential

non-conformance

to technical specifications.

The

licensee

determined that sufficient evidence existed to reasonably

conclude that the surveillance criteria were met or would have

been

met based

on other inspections

performed.

These

inspections

include the

ASME Section

XI Inservice Hydrostatic Test

and the

Drywell Closeout inspection

performed in accordance

with 2-SI-3.3

and 2-GOI-200-2 respectively.

The inspector reviewed the license-

e's analysis

and concluded

no immediate safety concern existed.

The failure to fully complete

SI O-SI-4.7.A.2.K, is

a violation of

TS 4.7.A.2.K.

The significance of this matter is further com-

pounded

by the fact that the results

(data) for the test in

question

were reviewed

by a senior reactor operator,

mechanical

maintenance

supervisor,

and cognizant

system engineer. without the

deficiency being discovered.

The licensee

is currently conducting

an incident investigation

on this situation.

This matter will be

tracked

as

VIO 260/94-01-02,

Failure to Proper ly Perform Contain-

ment Visual Inspection Surveillance.

Two violations were identified in the Surveillance Observation

area.

3.

Haintenance

Observation

(62703)

Plant maintenance activities were observed

and/or reviewed for selected

safety-related

systems

and components

to ascertain that they were

conducted

in accordance

with requirements.

The following items were

considered

during these

reviews:

LCOs maintained,

use of approved

procedures,

functional testing and/or calibrations

were performed prior

to returning components

or systems to service,

gC records maintained,

activities accomplished

by qualified personnel,

use of properly

certified parts

and materials,

proper

use of clearance

procedures,

and

implementation of radiological controls

as required.

Work documents

were reviewed to determine

the status of outstanding jobs

and to- assure

that priority was assigned

to safety-related

equipment

maintenance

which might affect plant safety.

The inspectors

observed

the following maintenance

activities during this reporting period:

a

~

Diesel Generator

1D Haintenance

On January

18,

1994, the inspector witnessed

portions, of an

inspection of the

1D

DG cylinder liners.

The inspection

was being

conducted

in response

to a Part

10CFR21-0067 report which

identified

a cracking problem with two particular models of

cylinder liners

on

EHD DGs.

Browns Ferry has the model

DG

referred to in the report,

however, this inspection

determined

that they do not have the model cylinder liners identified as

defective.

The inspector witnessed

the inspection,

conducted

in

accordance

with

WO 94-00459-03,

and noted

no concerns.

On January

25,

1994,

the

3D

DG was inspected

and

on February 7,

1994, the

3A

DG was inspected with neither having the model liner identified.

An inspection of the remaining

DGs cylinder liners will be

conducted

as they are

removed

from service for scheduled

routine

maintenance.

b.

Reactor Mater Level Instrument Backfill

On January

25,

1994,

the inspector

observed

maintenance

personnel

backfill the

A side reactor water level instrument reference

leg.

Prior to the backfill the A side instruments

indicated

two to

three

inches higher than the

B side instruments.

Following the

maintenance

the

B side instruments

indicated approximately two

inches higher than the

A side.

The craft performed the work using

WO 93-14451-00.

The inspector verified the proper authorizations

0

E

were obtained,

HIITE was appropriate,

and the

WO was being followed

as written.

No discrepancies

were noted.

- On January

26,

1994, the licensee

determined that the

B side level

instrument reference

leg also

needed backfilling.

Prior to

performing the work the

B side instruments

indicated approximately

two inches higher than the

A side instruments.

After the

maintenance

the

B side instruments

indicated approximately

one

inch lower than the

A side instruments,

which satisfies

the

acceptance

criteria of site procedures.

Engineering

and

Operations

were satisfied with these results.

The inspector

reviewed the controlling

WO 93-15059-00

and noted

no

discrepancies.

On February

14, 1994,.the

A side reactor water level instrument

reference

leg was again backfilled.

Before the backfill, the

A

side instruments

indicated approximately three inches higher than

the.B instruments.

Following the backfill, the

A side instruments

indicated approximately

one inch higher than the

B instruments.

While slight leaks

from three water level instruments

were

identified as contributing to the problem, the system engineer

stated that backfilling will probably

be required approximately

every 45 days.

The inspector witnessed

the process

and found no

discrepancies.

On February

17,

1994,

the wide range 'A'eactor water level

instrument reference

leg was backfilled.

The work was performed

in accordance

with

WO 94-00037-01,

which contained

step

by step

instructions detailing the evolution.

The licensee

determined

that in order for the work to be performed

on line and in a safe

manner,

three

TS instruments

would have to be removed

from service

and appropriate

LCOs entered.

A pre-job briefing was conducted

by

the system engineer to ensure that all involved personnel

knew

their individual responsibilities

as well as the entire "backfill

team."

Prior to the backfill, the 'A'ide instrumentation

indicated

water level exceeded

the 'B'ide instrumentation

by approximately

four inches.

The inspectors

observed

the evolution from both the

control

room and in the field.

The work was performed in

'accordance

with procedures

and progressed

in a timely and safe

manner.

Following the backfill, the 'A'nd '8'nstruments

indicated approximately within one inch of each other.

No

discrepancies

were identified.

Previous discussion of backfilling and the modification for

resolution of these

problems

by NRC Bulletin 93-03 is discussed

in

IR 93-39.

C.

ECCS Inverter Failure

On February

14,

1994,

the Division II ECCS

ATU Inverter failed as

a result of a blown fuse.

The inverter supplied

power to the ATUs

which provide auto start functions for safety related

systems.

The loss of this inverter placed the plant in an

LCO requiring the

unit to be in Hot Standby in six hours

and Cold Shutdown in the

fol'lowing thirty hours unless corrective

measures

are taken

sooner.

Approximately two hours into the event the fuse was

replaced,

however, it was then identified that

an electronic card

which controls the inverter output frequency

was also defective.

The card

was replaced

and the system satisfactorily returned to

service approximately

one hour later.

The

LCO was exited without

a plant shutdown

commencing.

A one hour report to the

NRC was

made,

in accordance

with 10 CFR 50.72, to report the inoperability

of the

HPCI system

and to give the general

status of the plant.

The licensee will followup with a thirty day report.

The licensee

intends to send the fuse

and electronic card to the vendor for

analysis

in an effort to determine

the cause of the failure.

The

inspector

observed

the troubleshooting,

maintenance,

and post

maintenance

test activities

and noted

no discrepancies.

No violations or deviations

were identified in the Haintenance

Observation

area.

Operational

Safety Verification (71707)

The

NRC inspectors

followed the overall plant status

and

any significant

safety matters related to plant operations.

Daily discussions

were held

with plant management

and various

members of the plant operating staff.

The inspectors

made routine visits to the control

rooms.

Inspection

observations

included instrument readings,

setpoints

and recordings,

status of operating

systems,

status

and alignments of emergency

standby

systems,

verification of onsite

and offsite power supplies,

emergency

power sources

available for automatic operation,

the purpose of

temporary tags

on equipment controls

and switches,

annunciator alarm,

status,

adherence

to procedures,

adherence

to LCOs, nuclear instruments

operability, temporary alterations

in effect, daily journals

and logs,

stack monitor recorder traces,

and control

room manning.

This

inspection activity also included

numerous

informal discussions

with

operators

and supervisors.

General

plant tours were conducted.

Portions of the turbine buildings,

each reactor building,

and general

plant areas

were visited.

Observations

included valve position

and system alignment,

snubber

and

hanger conditions,

containment isolation alignments,

instrument

readings,'ousekeeping,

power supply

and breaker alignments,

radiation

and contaminated

area controls,

tag controls

on equipment,

work

activities in progress,

and radiological protection controls.

Informal

.discussions

were held with selected

plant personnel

in their functional

areas

during these tours.

Unit Status

Unit 2 operated continually without any significant problem during

this period.

At the end of the period the unit had

been online

for 260 days.

Minor water level indication variations occurred

discussed

in this report.

f

Control

Room Operations

During routine tours of the control

room the inspector noticed

several

improvements to the Unit

1 control

room.

Although there

are

no plans to return the unit to operation,

some

common

and

other equipment

can

be operated

from the control boards.

The

number of hold order tags

has greatly been

reduced

as the system

status

on

some

systems

are

no longer controlled.

The new type

pump motor hand switch handles

were put on for the

RHRSW pumps.

Chart recorders that are

no longer in use

have

a sign placed over

the recorder stating the equipment is out of service.

Other

enhancements

were

made to upgrade the appearance

of Unit

8,

1994,

the inspector identified the following concerns:

1.)

A circuit breaker for compartment

8A on 480 volt board

2A

was in the off position

and did not have an'dentification

label similar to the other breakers.

This was reviewed

and

, determined

to be

a spare

breaker

compartment.

The licensee

put

a note in the plant night orders for operators

to be

more aware of labeling problems.

2.)

Next to the control

room abandonment

procedure

storage

cabinet,

with a locking tab in place,

was

a controlled copy

of the procedure,

2-AOI-100-2 dated

October

19,

1993,

revision 21, in another

green storage

cabinet.

The

inspector determined that the latest revision of the

procedure

was revision

24 dated

December

15,

1993.

The

stor'age

cabinet with the locking tab was opened

and the

correct

copy of the procedure

was in place.

The licensee

removed the copy with the out of date revision.

The

inspector discussed

with the licensee that old copies

should

be shredded,

tom in half, or identified by some other means

to insure they are not used.

3.)

WR C160866 tag dated

December

3,

1993,

was to fill in or

seal

a partial penetration for an opening in the floor.

The

licensee

removed this seal

and determined it was being

monitored

by a compensatory fire watch.

Words were

added to

the tag to identify the action.

4.)

A fire alarm had

sounded

around 7:00 a.m.

and the fire truck

responded,

however, there

was

no log entry in the

ASOS or

SOS control

room logs.

SSP-12. 1,

Conduct of Operations,

under section

3. 11.3,

Information to be Recorded, lists

medical/fire emergencies

as items to be recorded.

Operations

management

reviewed this and determined that

an

entry was

made in the Unit

1 operators

log and

a late entry

was

added to the

SOS log.

The event occurred

around shift

turnover time and the log entry was overlooked.

Housekeeping

On January

24,

1994, during

a routine tour of the cable spreading

room the inspector noticed

a decline in housekeeping

standards.

The inspector entered

the Unit

1 and

2 room through door 533

and

noticed the following next to the entrance

door:

Sign for phone fallen to the floor

Caution sign for C02 fallen to the floor

A padlock locked around

a cable in a cable tray

Broken glass

on the floor.

Conduit fittings under

a ventilation duct

General

area dusty

Graffiti on exit security card reader

These findings were discussed

with plant management.

After the

concerns

were again raised

on February 4,

1994,

items were

promptly corrected.

REX System

Problems

In IR 93-39 the inspector discussed

problems with reliability of

the

REX system.

The licensee

compared

the TLD dose for the fourth

quarter to the Merlin Gerin

(MG) 'digital alarming dosimeters

(DADs).

The

MG dose was'0X lower than TLDs.

The licensee

initiated

a radiological

awareness

report,94-006, to address

the

issue.

Additionally, on February

1,

1994,

a site'bulletin

was

issued alerting personnel

that

a possible contributor for the

disagreement

was in the way the

MG dosimeter

was worn.

It will

only report

75K of the dose'f the face of the device is toward

the body.

Also, the inspector identified that

DADs would beep while wearing

them but display

no exposure.

This was discussed

with

radiological controls manager.

Apparently

some

DADs were set to

beep at 0. 1 mr/hr instead of

1 mr/hr.

There

was general

confusion

among technicians

and plant workers

as to the purpose of the

beeps.

These

issues

are further discussed

Secondary

Containment Interlocks

As previously discussed

in IR 50-259,260,296/93-45,

a problem had

been

noted with the operation of the secondary

containment

interlocks between

the Unit 1/2 reactor buildings

and the turbine

building which resulted

in monentary violations of secondary

containment.

In response

to this matter,

the licensee initiated

a

design

change to modify the interlocks.

During the inspection

period,

work commenced

in accordance

with DCN W13294 to modify the

Unit 1/2 reactor building to turbine building interlocks.

Current

plans

are that these

new interlocks will be operational

on March

15.

The work on the Unit 3 reactor building to turbine building

interlocks is schedule

to. commence

on March

15 and complete

on

April 21.

The inspectors will continue to monitor the licensees

progress

in this area.

No violations or deviations

were identified in the Operational

Safety

Verification area.

Modifications (37700,

37828)

The inspectors

maintained

cognizance of modification activities.

This

included reviews of scheduling

and work control, routine meetings,

and

observations

of field activities.

Throughout the observation of

modifications being performed in the field gC inspectors

were observed

monitoring and documented verification at work activities.

On February 3,

1994, the inspector

observed modification activities

associated

with the capacitor

bank.

This modification will correct the

existing relaying

scheme

which does not meet

TVA standards,

remove

compacitors that contain

PCB's,

and will increase

the

HVAR capacity

needed to support plant voltage during an accident

when offsite power is

supplied

from the

161

kv system.

Work P'lans

were made with NTE but the

HRTE IDs were not documented,

two examples.

Cable meggering

completed but not signed

by the

craft performing the work.

After it was

identified by the inspector,

the craft signed

and backdated

each

step with the dates it was

performed.

These discrepancies

were brought to the attention of licensee

management

whereupon all capacitor

bank modification wor k was stopped.

Discussions

with the craft performing the modification indicated that they did not

understand

the work plan process

and their responsibilities

associated

with completing that process.

It was determined that this type of

training was never afforded these individuals.

The licen'see

provided

this training to the craft personnel

and following its successful

completion allowed the work to restart.

In addition,

the inspector

noted that neither

TVA nor gC provided

any

direct supervis'ion or quality control measures

for this modification.

A

SWEC field engineer

was responsible

for, coordination of the work

activities.

Although the modification has

been

ongoing for

approximatley

3 months,

these

problems

had only recently

been identified

by the

SWEC engineer

but had not yet been brought to the attention of

licensee

management.

SSP 6. 1, Conduct Of Maintenance,

Step 3.4. 1, states that all personnel

shall

be indoctrinated in the importance of procedural

compliance

and

what steps

should

be taken if the task cannot

The inspector

reviewed

and observed

the licensee's

activities involved

with the Unit 3 restart.

This included. reviews of procedures,

post-job

activities,

and completed field work; observation of pre-job field work,

in-progress field work,

and gA/gC activities;

and executives.

12

During this inspection period the resident

inspectors

commenced

holding

weekly meetings with licensee

management

responsible for the Unit 3

restart effort.

The meetings

were instituted to keep the resident

inspectors

informed of the current Unit 3 status

in regards to schedule

adherence

and major work accomplished.

System

SPOC's

The purpose of SPOC process

is to provide

a systematic

method for

evaluating

items

and issues

which potentially affect the ability

of Unit 3 systems

and Unit 3 portion of common systems

to perform

as designed.

This process

determines

the status of each

item/issue

and assures

completion of those which affect syst'm

return to operation for Unit 3 restart.

For each. system

evaluated,

the

SPOC process

may be accomplished

in two phases.

Phase

I SPOC addresses

the Restart Test

Program testing milestone

if that milestone exists for the system,

and establishes

system

status

control

by the Operations

department.

Phase II SPOC

addresses

System Return to Operation in preparation for the

declaration of system operability.

Each

phase

ensures

that open

items/issues

which potentially affect the phase

are either

completed,

or reviewed

and satisfactorily dispositioned.

The

SPOC

process

does not declare

system operability.

Rather, it is used

to support

a declaration of system operability which is made after

other requirements for operability are satisfied (e.g.,

support

systems

available,

performance of Surveillance Instructions,

etc.).

System 027,

Condenser Circulating Water System

During the initial startup of 3C

CCW pump

on November

18,

1993,

smoke

was observed, issuing from the packing stuffing box of the

pump

and

pump vibration was increasing noticeably.

The. licensee

'ecured

the

pump

and

commenced

troubleshooting activities which

included the following:

1.)

The bearing lube water line to the stuffing box and upper

bearing

was observed

to be at

an elevated

temperature

indicating

a lack of lube water flow.

Lube water flow was

verified available to the

pump by installed plant

instrumentation.

2.)

The lube water supply line to the upper bearing

and stuffing

box was disconnected

and

no water flow was present.

However,

a solid stream of water could be seen flowing

through the supply piping to the lower bearings.

3.)'he

vendor,

Ingersoll-Dresser

Pumps,

was contacted to

provide additional

guidance

as they had just refurbished

the

pumps during this outage.

13

4.)

Bearing lube water flow was elevated to the

maximum rate

available to each

pump

and

no back pressure

was obtained

from the lower bearings to force lube water flow to the

upper bearing

and stuffing box.

Divers were brought in and

they inspected

the lube water piping below the

pump deck.

No leakage

or abnormal

conditions were identified.

5.)

At the vendors

recommendation,

3/4 inch orifices were

installed in the lube water supply line just below the tee

of the branch line supplying lube water to the upper bearing

and stuffing box.

This effort was to provide

a flow

restriction to the lower bearings

which would cause

flow to

the upper bearing

and stuffing box.

However, the orifices

did not 'provide adequate

flow to the

pumps at recommended

flow rates

and only marginal flow at the

maximum supply flow

rate avail able.

6.)

The orifices were removed

and further discussions

were held

with the vendor.

The

3C pump was inspected

using

a

borescope

to determine if any components

could have

been

omitted during the rebuild.

No deficiencies

were found.

7.)

At the vendors

recommendation orifices were installed in the

lower two lube water lines to the lower bearings

on the

3B

and

3C pumps.

This effort was to provide sufficient

backpressure

in the supply line to force lube water flow to

the upper bearing

and stuffing box.

8.)

Testing after the orifices were installed

showed that flow

rates to the upper bearing

and stuffing box area

were

acceptable

on the

3B and

3C

CCW pumps.

Based --on the successful

testing of the

3B and

3C

CCM pump,

subsequent

to the modification of the two lower lube water supply

lines,

the licensee will also modify the

3A pump.

The inspectors

will continue to monitor this issue during the Unit 3 testing

phase.

Scaffold Program

The inspectors

reviewed the licensee's

scaffold program which

included procedures,

training, inspections,

and records/

documentation.

The procedure that governs

the installation

and

maintenance

of scaffolding is O-TI-264, Scaffolds

and Temporary

Platforms,

Revision 4, dated January

29,

1993.

This procedure

was

reviewed

in-.depth

and the inspectors

considered it a comprehensive

instruction that ensured

scaffolding

was erected

in a reliable

and

safe

manner

and took into account safety-related

functions of

plant equipment.,

The inspectors

also reviewed the maintenance

training program

and training attendance

records for. scaffolding,

HTS 151, Scaffold Erection,

which covered the requirements

of 0-

TI-264.

14

Scaffolding

and platforms installed in Unit 3 Turbine

and Reactor

buildings were walked down by the inspectors

and found to meet the

requirements

of 0-TI-264.

The scaffold was constructed

securely

and the appropriate

tags were. installed.

The scaffold permit tag

and log provides

an up-to-date

record of scaffolding installed in

the plant.

This tag also maintains

a record of inspections

conducted

on scaffolding which will remain erected for an extended

period of time.

Step 7. 11. 14 of 0-TI-264 requires

the responsible

foreman/supervisor

or their designee

to inspect scaffolding in use

every 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />

and document the inspection

on the back of the

scaffold permit tag.

While the inspectors

were in the Unit 3

reactor building they observed this inspection in progress.

When

questioned,

the person

conducting the inspection

was knowledgeable

of the procedure

and the requirements

of the inspection.

In

addition, scaffolding located in noncontaminated

portions of the

RCA are required to be surveyed

by

RADCON prior to use

and at

least

every seven

days thereafter.

This is documented

on

a survey

update

tag which is also attached

to the scaffold.

This tag was

also verified to be in place,

where required,

by the inspectors.

0-TI-264 requires that users of scaffolding visually inspect

scaffold prior to use to ensure

the scaffold is safe

and

has

had

the appropriate

inspections/surveys

performed in the required time

frame.

Abnormal or defective conditions

are to be reported to the

erecting

foreman or

RADCON, as required, for any necessary

corrections

or surveys.

In conclusion,

the inspectors

considered

the licensee's

scaffold

program to be comprehensive.

Unit Separation

On January

20,

1994, the licensee identified that

a Fire

Protection

Impairment Permit (Att. F) for the Unit 1/2

DG C02

system,

was closed out and the required

compensatory

measure

removed before the system

was returned

to operable status.

Hodification,

DCN F26949A,

was being performed

on the fire

detectors

in the

DG building and the

C02 suppression

system

protecting this area

was valved out and placed under clearance

to

prevent inadvertent actuation.

A firewatch was established

as

1994, the

DDFP failed to auto start during the

performance of 0-SI-4. 11.B. I.f, Simulated Automatic And Hanual

It was

determined that

an engine lock-out relay was preventing the auto

The local control panel

had been replaced

in October,

1993,

per

DCN V24443A with what was identified as

an identical

However, following failure of the auto start it was

determined that the lock-out function had

been defeated

on the old

Appendix

R Safe

Shutdown

Concerns with

1D Raw Cooling

Pump

On December

29,

1993, the licensee

determined that

a fault on

cables

associated

with the

1D

RCW pump could prevent the safe

shutdown of Unit 2 following an Appendix

R event.

The

1D

RCW pump

is not required to achieve

safe

shutdown in the event of an

Appendix

R fire, however, it is powered

from 4KV SDBD A which also

supplies

power to components

that are required during

an Appendix

R event.

If a fault were to occur

on one of the cables

associated

with this

pump, it could propagate

to equipment required to

achieve

safe

shutdown or prevent Appendix

R equipment

from

starting.

The licensee

established

the appropriate

compensatory

measures

and initiated BFPER930183 to resolve the issue.

This

. condition is

a violation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix R, Criterion III,

which requires

cables that could -prevent operation or cause

maloperation of systems

necessary

to achieve

and maintain hot

shutdown

be protected

by appropriate fire barriers or by adequate

separation.

Operations

Scheduling,

and Haintenance

were in attendance.

The group

reviewed'a

schedule

covering the shutdown from 100 percent

power

to cold shutdown

and then back

up to 100 percent

power.

The

schedule

was broken

down into segments

with each

segment

being

examined for any activities that might negatively impact the

operation of the plant.

The review identified several

maintenance

items that were rescheduled,

such

as,

postponing

as

much work as

possible in radiation areas until after the plant is shutdown to

reduce the amount of radiation dose received.

Another item was

rescheduled.

because it would require maintenance activity in the

control

room during power maneuvers.

The inspector thought the

meeting

was productive

and could result in a decrease

in shutdown

risk.

On January

4,

1994, at 6:34 a.m., with Unit 2 operating at

100 percent

inoperable

due to

a fuel oil leak at the engine driven fuel oil pump.

At approximately

4: 15 p.m. that

same day, the timing delay

breaker closing relay for the

Attempts to reset the relay were

made;

however,

they were unsuccessful.

At 7:40 p.m., the

3D

DG was declared

inoperable (effective at 4: 15 p.m.).

Because

the 1/2 'A'G is the emergency

power supply for the

'A'BGT and the

3D

DG is the emergency

Reportability of this matter is further supported

by NUREG-

1022,

(page

15, 5th paragraph)

which states

that for a

safety'ystem

that includes three or more trains,

the

failure of two or more trains should

be reported if, in the

judgement of the licensee,

the functional capability of the

overall

system

was jeoparized.

This matter is a violation

of 10 CFR 50.72

and

10 CFR 50.73

and will be cited

as the

first example of VIO 259,

R Concerns

Paragraph

7 of this report references

two instances

where

the licensee identified problems with proper separation

of

power supply cables.

The first matter dealt with power

supply cables to the redundant

RWCU primary containment

isolation valves being located within twenty feet of each

other

and 'not being adequately

protected

by an appropriate

fire barrier.

In the second

instance,

the power supply

cables to the

1D

RCW pump were not adequately

separated

from

the safety related

4KV Shutdown

Board A.

These matters

are

being cited

as violations to

10 CFR 50, Appendix R,

Criterion III.G.2.

In each of these

instances,

the Appendix

R requirements

were

never met resulting in a condition outside of the design

basis of the plant.

10 CFR 50.72 (b)(1)(ii)(B) requires

that any event or condition that results in the nuclear

power plant being in a condition outside of its design basis

be reported to the

NRC within one hour via the

ENS.

Additionally, the licensee is required to report these

matters

in accordance

with 10 CFR 50.73 (a)(2)(ii)(B).

In

both instances,

the licensee failed to make the required

telephonic

and written notifications required

by these

parts.

These matters

are violations af 10 CFR 50.72

and

10 CFR 50.73

and will be cited as the second

and third

example of VIO 259,

260, 296/94-01-07,

Failure to Make

Required Notifications.

In both of these

instances

the licensee

conducted

a review of the

events for reportability using

NUREG 1022,

but 'concluded *the

events

were not reportable.

Hissed Appendix

R Firewatch

On June 4,

1993,

an hourly roving firewatch, required

because

the

Unit 3

DG building C02 system

was out of- service,

was relieved

before, the

C02 system

was

made operable.

On June

5,

1993, this

was recognized

and the firewatch was re-established.

Problem

Evaluation Report

BFPER930082

was initiated to track this event.

As stated

in paragraph

7.a,

on January

20,

1994,

a similar event

occured

when the firewatch was relieved from monitoring the Unit

1/2

DG C02 tank before it was

made operable.

Therefore, this item

is being closed out.

Corrective actions will be tracked

by VIO

259/260-94-01-04.

Inadequate

Safe

Shutdown

Procedure

Revision

This item was that the licensee

made

112 changes

to the fire

protection safe

shutdown

equipment

compensatory

measures.

Characteristic of the changes

was revising

a requirement to

isolate the

RWCU system in four hours for inoperable

containment

isolation valves'o permit the establishment

of a fire watch after

seven

days.

The licensee

requested

a meeting concerning this

issue.

A meeting

was held on January

27,

1994, to discuss

the

changes.

The question

about

RWCU isolation valves

arose

due to

erroneous

cable reporting information to perform an Appendix

R

analysis.

Later it was determined that cables for both isolation

valves were routed in the. same fire zone.

From the meeting it was determined that the problem with the

RWCU

isolation valves

was

a design

problem dealing with inadequate

separation.

Thus, section 9.3. 11.6, of the fire protection plan

fire-rated assemblies

was applicable

and required

a fire watch in

one hour.

The problem should not have

been

addressed

by the

appendix

R safe

shutdown

program compensatory

measures

table.

Furthermore,

the changes

made to the compensatory

measures

table

were consistent with other compensatory

measures

dealing with a

loss of an appendix

R function or equipment.

For example,

removal

of a

DG for maintenance

allows

7 days before

a fire watch is

required.

In this case

a loss of an app'endix

R capability would

require

a fire watch, but inoperable

valves must

be isolated in

four hours.

20

I

Although some confusion existed

as to the applicable table for

this analysis

problem, the changes

made to the plan were

consistent

with other changes

previously approved

by the

NRC.

Many of the changes

were containment isolation valves similar to

the

RWCU system

changes.

Accordingly, no violation occurred with

the plan revision

and this

URI is closed.
