^

The inspector periodically during the inspection interval reviewed shift

logs and operations records, including data . sheets, instrument traces and

,

records of equipment malfunctions. 'This review included control room logs,

-

auxiliary. logs, operating orders, standing orders, jumper logs and e_quipment-

tagout records. The inspector routinely observed operator alertness and

demeanor during plant tours. During normal events, operator performance and

response actions were observed and evaluated.

The inspector conducted

random off-hours inspections during the reporting interval to assure that

operations and security remained at an acceptable level. Shift turnovers

were observed to verify that they were conducted in accordance with approved

licensee procedures.

On January 26, 1981, with the Unit 2 refueling outage in progress, prepara-

tions were being made to perform the RPV Hydro Procedure, HNP-2-1230, when

Technical Specification 3.5.2.1.b.2

was inadvertently violated

for

"

approximately'seven'(7) hours. This specification requires both subsystems

of th.e core spray (CS) to:be operable when the torus is drained. The manual

isolation valves, 2E21-F007A&B, were closed as part of the valve lineup

procedure for HNP-2-1230.

The hydro itself was not to be performed until

the torus was filled and core spray was not required.

Because the valve line.up was commenced . prior to filling the torus (not

normally the case) and the procedure did not contain a caution or condition

for making CS inoperative, the technical specification was violated.

The

-condition was identified by a shift supervisor who was checking the system

lineup and noted that the valves should not be shut.

It was properly

reported to the NRC by the licensee. Had the same situation developed on

Unit 1, it would not have been a. problem because of different technical

specification requirements. The failure to comply with T.S.3.5.3.1.b.2 is a

violation'(366/81-04-01) and the failure of the Plant Review Board (PRB) to

adequately review HNP-2-1230 as required by T.S. 6.8.2 is also a violation

(366/81-04-02).

6.

Plant Tours (Units 1 and 2)

,

'

The ' inspect'or codducted' plant ' tours ~ periodically during the inspection

interval to verify that monitoring equipment was recording as required,

-

equipment was properly ! tagged, operations personnel were aware of plant

conditions, and plant housekeeping efforts were adequate.

The inspector

also_ determined that appropriate radiation controls were properly

established, critical clean areas were being controlled in accordance with

procedures, excess equipment or material is stored properly and combustible

,

material and ' debris were disposed of expeditiously.

During tours the

inspector looked for the existence of unusual fluid leaks, piping vibra-

tions, pipe hanger and seismic restraint settings, various valve and breaker-

positions, equipment caution and danger tags and component positions,

adequacy of fire fighting equipment and instrument calibration dates. Some

tours were conducted on backshifts.

'Within the a'reas "inspec'ted 'no violation orl deviations were identified.

Technical Specification Compliance (Units 1 and 2)

During - this. reporting interval, the inspector verified compliance with

selected limiting conditions for operations (LCO's) and results of selected

surveillance tests.

These verifications were accomplished by direct

observation of monitoring instrumentation,

valve positions,

switch

positions, and review of completed logs and records.

The licensee's

'

compliance with selected LCO action statements were reviewed on selected

occurrences as they happened.

Within the areas inspected no violations or devi-tions were identified.

8.

Physical Protection (Units 1 and 2)

The inspector. verified by. observation and interviews during the reporting

interval that measures taken to assure the physical protection of the

facility met current requirements. Areas inspected included the organiza-

tion of the security force, the establishment and maintenance of gates,

doors and isolation zones in the proper condition, that access control and

badging was proper, and procedures were followed.

Within the areas inspected no violations or deviations were identified.

.

9.

Review of Nonroutine Events Reported by the Licensee (Units 1 & 2)

,

The following Licensee Event Reports (LERs) were reviewed for potential

generic impact, to detect trends, and to determine whether corrective

actions appeared appropriate. Events which were reported immediately were

also reviewed as they occurred to determine that Technical Specifications

were being ' met and that the public health and safety were of utmost con-

sideration.
