L.

Emergency Procedures

1.

Emergency Procedures Needed

l

i

The inspector stated that review of emergency procedures

revealed that eight conditions were not yet covered. He

'

also stated that it was his understanding that procedures

i

for seven of these would be written and approved prior to

initial criticality and that the other one would be written

and approved within three months.

'

.

Licensee management stated that this understanding was

correct.

(See Details III, paragraph 2.a.)

2.

Comments on Individual Procedures

The inspector stated that specific comments on emergency

procedures had been given to station persennel an-1 that

he had no questions regarding DPC's plans to resolve the

Comme 9ts.

Licensee management stated that the coments would be

incorporated into the procedures within the time periods

which had been agreed to.

(See Details III, paragraph 2.b.)

M.

Alarm Procedures

The inspector stated that he had reviewed ten percent of the

alarm procedures for Unit 1 and except for comments already

-

given oa selected ones, they were compatible with the guide-

lines cf ANS 3.2.

He stated that these safety related alarm

-

proced. *as which had been rewritten should be approved prior

to initial criticality.

Licensee management stated that ccmments on individual

,

procedures would be incorporated within the time perieds

,

agreed to and that all safety related alarm procedures would

be appaved prior to initial criticality.

Periodid- Test Procedures and Instrument Procedures

.

The inspector stated that lie had reviewed thirty periodic

test and instrument procedures for Unit 1 and found them

to be quite compatible with the guidelines of ANS 3.2.

He also stated that there were two procedures which he had

consnents on and that agreement had been reached with station

~

personnel regarding CPC plans to take corrective action on

those comments.

Licensee management indicated that the comments would be

resolved.

(See Details III, paragraph 4.)

.

O.

Periodic Test Schedule

.

The inspector stated that he had reviewed the tentative plans

which the operations and technical support groups had developed

for assuring that testing required by Technical Specifications

is completed in a timely manner and that he had no comments

concerning those plans.

He stated that these plans should be finalized and a detailed

testing schedule drawn up very soon since it is required to be

established as soon as a license is received.

3

Licensee management indicated t. hat the ' schedule would be finalized

as soon as possible.

(See Details III, paragraph 5.)

.

P.

In-service Baseline Inspection

The inspector noted that he had reviewed the final in-service

inspection report prepared and submitted by B&W cn February 5

and, based on this review, it appears the report was in compliance

with the " inservice inspection philosophy" of section XI of the

ASME code, insofar as establishing a baseline parameter to be

-

used in comparing results of subseque t Auservice examinations.

The inspector noted that significant reportable indications

'

(defects) were detectied in three areas.. These were, the transi-

tion ring between the once thru steam generator (CTSG) lower head

and the support skirt, the IB CrrSG reactor coolant outlet nozzles,

and the spray nozzle on the pressurizer. In reference to the

support skirt, management reported that B&W performed an

engineering evaluation using a fracture mechanics approach in

l

order to resolve whether these defects impair the structural

adequacy of the vessel or whether the defects are insignificant

.

and can be safely ignored. Management stated that based on

results of this analysis, it was their opinion that the defects

as indicated by the base-line ultrasonic inspection would not

in any way jeopardize the vessel from performing as designed.

In reference to both nozzles on the IB CTSG and the spray

nozzle on the pressurizer, management reported that areas with

indications exceeding tyr acceptance standards established for

the baseline examination were re-evaluated by B&W and Duke

personnel using the original shop radiographs, and the welds

were found to be acceptable. Hence, these components were

acc2ptable' and repair was not required.

(See Details IV,

paragraph 2.)

Q.

Reactor Coolant System Oil Fire

The inspector noted that heavy deposits of baked-on oil'

residues were detected on the pipe and core coolant pump

housing and suggested that these sur. faces should be cleaned

j

sufficiently to meet the cleanliness requirements of the

i

applicable specification. Management stated that work had

begun on these parts, the objective being to restore the

affected surfaces to their original condition as much as

j

possible.

(See Details IV, paragraph 3.)

'

R.

Reactor Internals,

~'*

The inspector noted that he had conducted a spot check of

the pressure vessel and the internals. This inspection

prod' iced no evidence of excessive wear as a result of the

recently completed hot functional tests.

The inspector also noted that he had conducted a epxprehensive

review of the cleaniness records for the internals in Unit 1

and had no further comments at this time.

(See Details IV,

paragraph 4.)

-

S.

Core Flood Line Restrictor

The inspector noted that he reviewed the documents controlling

field construction of the flow restrictor. He found them to be

in accordance with the applicable ASME codes therefore had

no further comments at this time.

Steam Generator Tube Examinations

The inspector noted that Eddy Current (EC) examination had been

performed on 871 of tubes in steam generators lA and IB, with

preliminary results indicating nothing that had not been

previously identified. The inspector also stated that Region II

wished to review the final report of the metallurgical investi-

gation conducted on the tubes which exhibited "intergranular

corrosion (cracking)". Management indicated that a copy of

the aforementioned report would be made available when issued

by Babcock and Wilcox (B&W) .

(See Details IV, paragraph 6.)

Hanger Response and Pipe Vibration

.

The principal inspector stated that the results of hanger

responses and pipe vibration tests were reviewed. In TP-600/14,

" Pipe and Component Hanger Hot Deflection and Inspection Test,"

the inspector determined that the acceptance criteria for RCP-1A2,

at 450' and 500*F in the X direction, had not been met.

DPC completed an engineering evaluation of the excessive deflection,

prior to the end of the inspection, which concluded that the

allowable stress values had not been exceeded.
