Inspection Report No. 50-285/80-03

Dear Mr. Madsen:

In reply to the above referenced inspection report, the Omaha Public Power District herein submits comments to indicate the status of the reported items of noncompliance.

INFRAC1* ION Contrary to Section 5.8.1 of the Technical Specifications, which requires that written procedures be established and implemented, repair of MS-MV-281, Main Steam Safety Valve, was performed using Maintenance Procedure MP-RV-1 vs. the correct Maintenance Procedure MP-MS-1.

RESPONSE

(1) M m tive steps which have been taken and the results achieved.

After repair of MS-281, the valve was sent to Wyle Laboratories for testing. It was tested in the "as received" condition and met all test requirements. Upon discovery that the wrong procedure had beeu used to repair MS-281, Dresser Valve Division was contacted and informed of this matter. Dresser Valve Division indicated that there was no possibility a valve could be assembled incorrectly and still pass the Wyle Labora-tories Tests.

(2) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further noncompliance.

l Maintenance Procedure MP-RV-1 Safety / Relief Valve Maintenance will be revised to indicate the specific valves that the procedure applies ,

to. This change will be completed by June 1, 1980. I 8 0071 y g

}

e%*,.

Mr. Glen L. Madsen Page Two FC-431-80 (3) Date when full compliance will be achieved.

The licensee is presently in full compliance with Techn1 cal Speci-fication Section 5.8.1.

INFRACTION Contrary to Section 2.12.3.1 of the Plant Radiation Protection Manual, an individual was certified to wear a respirator on January 28, 1980 and had not been fit tested since October 11, 1977.

RESPONSE

(1) Corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved.

The individual was removed immediately from the respirator wearer acceptance list and restricted from all work which required respiratory protection against airborne radioactivity. The individual was an offsite technical support consultant who was temporarily assigned to the plant.

It was determined his duties did not require use of respirators; he re-mained off the acceptance list and the acceptance symbol on his security badge was also removed.

(2) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further noncompliance.

(a) Records pertinent to determining respirator usage qualification have been consolidated into one central location at the Fort Calhoun Station office. Respirator training, medical examin-ation and respirator fit data are filed individually for all personnel allowed unescorted access into the plant. This im- -

provement provides ready access for establishing acceptance status.

(b) Record data pertinent to respirator usage qualification have been entered into an IBM 370 data processing computer. The monthly data print out will be utilized to identify respirator usage requirements which are nearing expiration. The follow-up scheduled training and computer update vill ensure all personnel maintain active training and respiratory requirements.

(3) Date when full compliance will be achieved.

The licensee is presently in full compliance with Section 2.12.3.1 of the Plant Radiation Protection Manual.

DEVIATION Contrary to Section 13.2 of NUREG-0041, " Manual of Respiratory Fro-tection Against Airborne Radioactive Material", an employee using a full face respirator was vearing contact lenses.

Mr. Glen L. Madsen Page Three

-FC-431-90

RESPONSE

(1) Corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved.

The individual was restricted from the use of full facepiece respirators until retrained on the special problems associated with prescription glasses. The discussion of the hazard was stressed with the training film strip section specific on this hazard. The retraining discussion was satisfactory and the individual was allowed to remain on the respirator usage acceptance list.

(2) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid ftather noncompliance.

The Respirator Equipe c Usage Verification, Form 357, was reviewed.

Improvements adopted inclut ad (1) a statement of understanding that contact lens are not allowed during the wearing of respirators and (2) a signature by the approved respirator wearer.

Retraining sessions, the updating of Form 357 and surveillance by Health Physics personnel will assure conformance to this commitment.

(3) Date when full compliance will be achieved.

The licensee is presently in full compliance with Section 13.2 of NUREG-0041.

Sincerely, T ,\
