SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION .

The Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) conducted its first evaluation of Alabama Power Company's (APCo) Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) during the weeks of November 2 and 9,1981. FNP is a two unit station using 861 Mw net Westinghouse pressurized water reactors with a net generating capability of 860 Mw each. The station is located on the Chattahoochee River approximately 16 miles east of Dothan, Alabama. Unit One began commercial operation in December 1977, and Unit Two began commercial operation in July 1981.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE INPO conducted an evaluation of site activities to make an overall determination of plant safety, to evaluate management systems and controls, and to identify areas needing improvement. Information was assembled from discussions, interviews, obser-vations, anc' reviews of documentation.

The INPO evaluation team examined station training, operations, maintenance, radio-logical and chemistry activities, on-site technical support, and organizeuon and administration. The team also observed the actual performance of selected evolutions ar.d surveillance testing. Corporate activities were not included in the scope of the evaluation, except as an incidental part of the station evaluation. As a basis for the evaluation, INPO used performance objectives and criteria relevant to each of the six areas examined; these were applied and evaluated in light of both the experience of team members and INPO's observations of good practices within the industry.

INPO's goal is to assist member utilities in achieving the highest standards of excellence in all phases of nuclear plant operation. Accordingly, the conditions found in each area were compared to best practices, rather 'than to minimum acceptable conditions or requirements.

DETERMINATION l

Within the scope of this evaluation, the team determined that the plant is in excellent material condition and is being operated in a safe manner by well-qualified personnel.

Certain beneficial practices and acco nplishments were noted:

Dedicated corporate support of the station is evident. Ample direction and l resources have been provided to ensure an efficient, well-run plant.

Plant personnel exhibit a positive attitude toward their jobs, work effectively, and are dedicated to achieving standards of excellence in performance.

l l Plant administrative control program: provide comprehensive guidance to plant l personnel.

Page 2 The material condition and overall cleanliness of the plant were excellent.

The plant performance monitoring program is effective in optimizing plant thermal efficiency.

The manner of assigning responsibilities to the shift technical advisor results in his being a viable, working shift member. His efforts in coordi'iating unit maintenance and tagging reduce the administrative burdens on the shift super-visor.

The work control system provides for excellent identification of plant deficiencies through the effective use of deficiency tags and stickers.

Improvemer.ts were recommended in a number of areas. The following is considered to be among the most important:

The number of industrial safety problems observed in the plant indicates a need for more aggressive management attention.

In each of the six areas evaluated, INPO has established PERFOR51ANCE OBJECTIVES and supporting criteria. All PERFOR51ANCE OBJECTIVES reviewed during the course of this evaluation are listed in the APPENDIX.

Findings and recommendations are listed under the PERFOR11ANCE OBJECTIVES to which they pertain. Particularly noteworthy conditions that contribute to meeting PERFOR11ANCE OBJECTIVES are identified as Good Practices. Other findings describe conditions that detract from meeting the PERFOR31ANCE OBJECTIVES. It would not be productive to list as Good Practices those things that are commonly done in the industry since this would be of no benefit to APCo or to INPO's other member utilities. As a result, most of the findings highlight conditions that need improvement.

The recommendations following each finding are intended to assist the utility in ongoing efforts to improve all aspects of its nuclear programs. In addressing these findings and recommendations the utility should, in addition to correcting or improving specific conditions, pursue underlying causes and issues.

The findings listed herein were presented to Alabama Power Company management a.

an exit meeting at the plant on November 13, 1981. Findings, recommendations, and responses were reviewed with APCo management on December 29, 1981. APCo response; are considered satisfactory.

To follow the timely completion of the improvements included in the responses, INPO requests written notification of status six months from the date of this report.

The evaluation staff appreciates the cooperation received from all levels of the Alabama Power Company.

Page 4 TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION NON-LICENSED OPERATOR TRAINING PEne vRM ANCE OBJECTIVE: Develop and maintain the skills and knowledge neces-sary for non-licensed operators to perform their assigned job functions.

Finding Improvements are needed in the equipment operator and assistant (TQ.4-1) plant operator retraining program. The training that non-licensed operators now receive is unstructured and informal. This condition has been recognized and a structured non-licensed operator re-training program is scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 1982.

Recommendation Implement the planned non-licensed operator (equipment operator and assistant plant operator) retraining program. The INPO document, ' Nuclear Power Plant Non-Licensed Operators - Guide-lines for Qualification Programs" (GPG-04) provides recommenda-tions for the program content.

Response A comprehensive and formal retraining program has been developed for equipment operators and assistant plant operators using INPO guidelines. The program will commence by March 1982.

LICENSED OPERATOR TRAINING PERFORM ANCE OBJECTIVE: Develop the skills and knowledge necessary for licensed operators to perform their assigned job functions.

Finding The following Good Practice was noted: The licensed operator on-(T Q.5-1) the-job training requirements are defined in a well-structured qualification checklist. This checklist effectively guides candi-dates in achieving proficiency in plant operations and in under-

! standing interfaces with chemistry and health physics department activities.

Page 5 l MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL TRAINING PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Develop and maintain the skills and knowledge neces-  ;

sary for maintenance personnel to perform their assigned job functions.

Finding The mechanic, electrician, and instrument serviceman training (TQ.8-1) programs need to be improved. On-the-joc training requirements and performance standards need to be established, and the progress of trainees should be routinely monitored.

Recommendation Develop and implement structured on-the-job training as part of the qualification program for mechanics, electricians, and instru-ment servicemen. The program should identify job functions to be performed, observed, or discussed during this training phase.

Response On-the-job training requirements for apprentice mechanics, ap-prentice electricians, and assistant instrument servicemen will be formalized and implemented by June 1982. This aspect of training will be subsequently reviewed concurrent with refinement of the overall training program now underway for maintenance personnel.

Finding A structured retraining program for maintenance personnel is (T Q.8-2) needed.

Recommendation Implement a retraining program to provide refresher training in plant systems, applicable plant operating ' experiences, equipment and procedure changes, and job-related technical training. The INPO documents " Guidelines for Mechanical Maintenance Person-nel Qualification" (GPG-05), " Guidelines for Electrical Mainte-nance Personnel Qualification" (GPG-07), and " Guidelines for In-strument and Control Technician Qualification" (GPG-08) provide recommendations for program content.

Response A retraining program for maintenance personnel will be developed using INPO guidelines and will be implemented by December 1982.

F ARLEY (1981)

Page 6 OPERATIONS OPERATIONS ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION PERFORM ANCE OBJECTIVE: Provide a clearly defined operations organization that is adequately staffed, assigns responsibilities, and delegates adequate authority for the accomplishment of required tasks.

Finding The following Good Practice was noted: The shift technical (O P.1-1) advisor has been integrated into the shift organization in an effective manner. His assigned responsibilities in coordinating unit maintenance and tagging keep him knowledgeable of plant condi-tions and reduce the administrative burdens on the shift supervisor.

CONDUCT OF SHIFT OPERATIO .4S PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Ensure that shift operations are conducted in a safe and reliable manner.

Finding Operators and supervisors need to be more responsive to out-of-(OP.3-1) specification conditions recorded on daily logs. Numerous log readings exceeded the maximum or minimum values specified on the logsheets without annotation by the operator or report to supervisory personnel as required by station procedures.

Recommendation Operators should aggressively investigate out-of-specification con-ditions and take prompt corrective action where necessary. A more substantive supervisory review is needed to ensure that off-normal conditions are not allowed to persist.

Response Logs have been revised to provide more accurate maximum and minimum log readings, which will enhance discipline and respon-siveness to out-of-specification conditions. A directive has been l issued emphasizing on-shif t supervisory review of daily logs, stress-ing the need for aggressively investigating out-of-specification conditions and for taking prompt corrective action where neces-sary.

Page7 PLANT OPERATIONS PROCEDURES I

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Provide timely, effective guidance to operators in the form of written procedures, s

Finding Additional effort is needed to ensure more rigorous procedural (OP.4-1) adherence. Operators did not always comply with the detailed

' requirements of procedures when performing plant operations and tests.

I hecommendation Management should address the need for procedural adherence with all operating personnel. Abnormal conditions noted during the performance of procedures should be reported promptly to appro-priate supervisors.

Response Supervisory seminars and retraining programs have been initiated toward the achievement of greater discipline and higher standards of performance. Procedural compliance and reporting of abnormal conditions are included subjects. Major progress in this effort will be accomplished by June 1982.

TAGOUT PRACTICES PERFORM ANCE OBJECTIVE: Protect personnel and plant equipment by implementing effective tagout practices.

Finding The following Good Practice was noted: The station has an ex-(O P.7- 1) cellent system for ensuring that safety-related and other im-portant equipment repositioned during maintenance or testing is independently verified by two qualified operators.

Finding The current audit of tagouts needs to be expanded to include a (OP.7-2) physical check of tagged equipment.

Recommendation Include a provision in the tag audit procedure to check that tags are posted as desired and that tagged equipment is properly positioned.

5 F ARLEY (1981) 4 Page 9 MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Support the performance of maintenance activities by providing adequate facilities and equipment.

Finding The following Good Practice was noted. An effective system is (M A.2-1) used to track spare parts and related information. The system includes a number of user oriented features that facilitate the storage and retrieval of parts such as description, part number, storage location, quality code, storage requirements, shelf life, minimum stock levels, vendor, system or type of equ!; ment the part is used in, and purchase order information.

Finding Improvements in the cleanliness of mechanical and electrical shop (M A.2-2) facilities and equipment are needed. Accumulations of waste material were noted around shop equipment and in some shop areas.

Recommendation Implement necessary actions to upgrade the cleanliness of shop facilities and equipment to ensure that efficient and hazard-free working conditions are maintained. Ensure that the frequency of shop cleanup is appropriate to the level of activity.

Response A program of increased supervisory awareness and attention has resulted in a general upgrading of the cleanliness level of the shop equipment and facilities.

WORK CONTROL SYSTEM 1

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Provide an administrative control system within which equipment problems can be identified and reported, and safely and efficiently dispo-sitioned and documented.

Finding The following Good Practice was noted: Deficiency tags are l

(M A.3-1) effectively used to identify equipment deficiencies that have been entered into the work control system. In addition to minimizing duplicate work requests, these tags serve to alert operations

i F ARLEY (1:181)

Page 10 personnel to degraded equipment conditions and provide a visual 8

display to management that problems are identified for correction.

I

' MAINTENANCE HISTORY PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Provide a complete and functional maintenance history I supporting an evaluation program which contributes to improvements in equipment performance.

1

. Finding Improvements are needed in the use of maintenance history to (M A.5-1) evaluate equipment performance. Maintenance history records are not comprehensive or easily retrievable. As a result, maintenance I history is not effectively used to identify and correct recurring equipment problems.

Recommendation Develop and implement a maintenance history program to evaluate equipment performance. This program should include methods for the effective storage, retrieval, monitoring, and evaluation of maintenance history information.

Response The maintenance history program will be modified by July 1982 for more effective use in identifying recurring equipment problems.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Optimize equipment relia'oility and performance to enhance plant safety and availability.

Finding The preventive maintenance (PM) program needs to be improved.

(M A.6-1) Many items are routinely deferred without appropriate supervisory review and are overdue for accomplishment.

Recommendation Action should be taken to upgrade the preventive maintenance program. This should include the following:

a. a review of the necessity for scheduled preventive main-tenance

b. a review of the frequency of preventive maintenance to ensure appropriate accomplishment intervals

FARLEY (1981) 3 Page 11

c. establishment of clear responsibilities for the perform-I ance of the preventive maintenance program to ensure that maintenance is completed as scheduled or that deferral is approved at an appropriate management level i

Response A review of the PM program will be performed by April 1982 to determine both the continuing necessity for, and interval of, current PM activities. Appropriate supervisory personnel have I been designated to ceview all PM activities not completed as scheduled. They will direct appropriate rescheduling.

'l -

I CONTROL OF MEASUREMENT AND TEST EQUIPMENT i PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Control the us 3 and calibration of measurement and test equipment to ensure the necessary accuracy for cal % rated devices.

Finding Improvemena are needed in the identification and control of (M A.7-1) measurement and test equipment requiring calibration. Some test equipment was checked out of the calibration facility or stored in the controlled section of the calibration facility with the calibra-tion overdue. Other test equipment overdue for calibration was not identified and placed in the impound area as required by station procedures.

Recommendation Implement controls to ensure that equipment overdue for calibra-tion is not issued or stored with ready-for-use equipment. Equip-ment overdue for calibration should oe returned promptly to the calibration facility.

Response More thorough implementation of procedural requirements has been initiated concerning the proper impoundment of test equip-ment that is overdue for calibration. Also, a test equipment recall program will be implemented by April 1982 in order to avoid having checked-out test equipment exceed calibration due dates.

F ARLEY (1981) i Page 12 RADIATION PROTECTION AND CHEMISTRY

'l MANAGEMENT OF RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION i

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Provide effective management of the radiological pro-tection program.

I Finding Improvements are needed in the follow-up on radiation incident (RC.1-1) reports. Additional emphasis is needed to ensure that the basic

'l causes of problems are effectively evaluated and corrected.

Recommendation Formally assign responsibilities for reviewing radiation incident g

reports to identify problem areas, determine basic causes, and develop appropriate corrective actions. The lessons learned from such reviews should be promulgated to all affected plant depart-ments.

Response A formal program will be implemented by February 1982 wherein repetitive radiation incidents are trended to verify the adequacy of corrective actions. Also, additional emphasis will be placed on the analysis of individual reports and on promulgation of the lessons learned.

RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION TRAINING PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Ensure that personnel on the site have the knowledge and practical abilities necessary to effectively implement radiological protection practices associated with their work.

Finding Health physics training for nuclear operatives needs to be im-(RC.2-1) proved. Formal training is needed on contamination control, decontamination techniques, and the operation of the contaminated laundry.

Recommendation Develop and implement formal training for nuclear operatives in the areas noted above.

Response After June 1982, nuclear operatives performing decontamination work will have received formalized training in contamination control, decontamination techniques, and, when employed, in the operation of the contaminated laundry.

F ARLEY (1981) 8 Pags 13 Finding improvements are needed in the training and qualification of water a (RC.2-2) treatment plant operators. Operators are not currently required to complete formal qualification before assignment as a water treat-ment plant operator. Practical training on the operation of the water treatment plant should be included in their qualification 3

requirements.

Recommendation Implement the training and qualification program currently under i development for water treatment plant operators. Ensure that the program includes practical training in plant operations.

Response Formalized qualification requirements for water treatment plant operators have been implemented. These include practical training in the operation of water plants.

I PERSONNEL DOSIMETRY PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Accurately determine and record radiaticn exposures.

. Finding Improved follow-up is needed on deficiencies identified by the (RC.3-1) thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) quality control program.

Many spiked TLDs sent to the vendor have had low reported readings. These variances should be resolved.

Recommendation Investigate the cause for the low TLD readings reported by the vendor and implement corrective actions where necessary.

Response Variances in the spiked TLD program used to monitor Farley's TLD service have been investigated and resolved. Reported inaccu-racies are attributed to the lack of a controlled means of spiking the TLDs.

By April 1982, FNP will have converted to complete in-house dosimetry utilizing newly acquired equipment. Spiked TLDs will be provided by a different vendor and incccporated in a QC program.

Procedural guidance will include criteria for identifying discrep-ancies requiring resolution.

Finding The accountability and handling of dosimetric devices needs im-(RC.3-2) provement. A number of TLDs have been reported lost in the security badge and dosimeter issue station (primary access point).

Many pocket ion chambers (PICS) are unaccounted for. PICS are

FARLEY (1981)

Page 14 sometimes issued with high or off-scale readings. It is understood that a program is being developed to correct these problems.

Recommendation Accelerate the implementation of the program to improve the accountability and handling of personnel dosimetric devices.

Response New practices and arrangements for the accounting and handling of dosimeter devices will be evaluated and tested. Improvements in dosimeter handling, including the areas identified above, will be implemented by July 1982.

EXTERNAL RADIATION EXPOSURE PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Minimize personnel external radiation exposure.

Finding Several Good Practices were noted to be effective in minimizing (RC.4-1) personnel external radiation exposure. These were as follows:

a. Area dose rate information is conspicuously and conven-lently posted at local areas and at the entrance to the radiologically controlled area,

b. Temporary shielding is effectively utilized to reduce area dose rates. A proper engineering review is conducted prior to shielding installation.

c. The use of strippable coatings has reduced man-rem l

exposure associated with reactor cavity decontamination, l

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Minimize releases of radioactive effluents to the en-vironment.

Finding Normally nonradioactive liquid effluents are included in the volume (RC.6-1) of liquid reported as radioactive discharge. A major portion of radioactive liquid reported discharged is nonradioactive steam generator blowdown and turbine ouilding sump water.

I .

F ARLEY (1981) 3 Page 15 Rccommendation Evaluate the necessity for continued reporting of steam generator i blowdowns and the turbine building sump water as radioactive effluent discharge when samples indicate this water to be non-radioactive.

I Response The NRC will be requested to provide formalized clarification of technical specifications and associated reporting requirements con-cerning steam generator blowdown and turbine building sump i releases. Based upon this clarification, action will be taken a appropriate and practicable to reduce the amount of liquid included in radioactive discharge :eports. It is expected that this matter q will be resolved by April 1982.

~~

l i RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION CONTROL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Minimize contaminated equipment and areas in the plant and minimize personnel contamination.

Finding Personnel frequently fail to perform a thorough whole-body frisk (RC.9-1) upon exiting the radiation controlled area and contaminated areas as required by plant procedures.

Recommendation Enforce existing plant radiological protection procedures and re-e quirements. Emphasize proper radiological practices through the use of meetings, training, and posted instructions. Periodic super-visory monitoring of plant activities should be used to evaluate personnel adherence.

Response The requirements for, and importance of, each individual being properly frisked will be given additional emphasis in radiation worker training. Additionally, this will be addressed in safety meetings. Posted instructions and revised procedural requirements will be implemented by March 1982. Operations and maintenance supervisors of personnel working in contaminated areas, as well as chemistry and health physics personnel, will be responsible for monitoring and enforcing adequacy of frisking on a spot-check basis.

Finding The size of contaminated areas in the plant are larger than (RC.9-2) necessary. System leakage causes contamination of some areas.

The size of these areas needs to be reduced to enhance efficient systems operation and maintenance.

t

I .

F ARLEY (1981)

, Page 16 Recommendation Initiate a more aggressive decontamination program, particularly 3 in areas frequented by operations and maintenance personnel. In areas where contamination due to system leakage is a recurring problem, the plant should investigate system maintenance prac-tices and/or methods to contain leakage to prevent the unnecessary contamination of large areas.

Response Existing contaminated areas will be evaluated by February 1982, l and, where feasible, area size will be reduced in an effort to allow greater unrestricted access to rooms by operations and mainte-nance personnel. Improvements will be made to contain and i

restrict the extent of contamination from recurring leakage.

.I

' CHEMISTRY PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Ensure accurate measurement and effective control of

, chemistry parameters.

Finding Periodic verification of the accuracy of chemistry analyses is (RC.10-1) needed. Spiked or split samples are not used to check the accuracy of analyses performed by plant technicians.

Recommendation Develop and implement a program through which samples of known

.i concentrations are periodically analyzed by each plant technician.

The concentration of the spiked sample should be unknown to the technician. Supervisors should review the results for verification of analysis accuracy.

Response By March 1982, a chemical analyses comparison program will be implemented wherein samples prepared and/or analyzed by a qualified off-site laboratory will also be analyzed by plant techni-cians to check the accuracy of analyses performed by plant technicians. Supervisory personnel will administer the program and evaluate results.
