2.
Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings
(Closed) Open item (8106-02).
The licensee had not required an
engineering review of documentation of material conformance.
This review
is now included in licensee Administrative Procedure 1.11, Revision 17,
" Requisitioning, Receiving, Storage of Essential Parts and Components."
(Closed) Violation (8106-01).
Licensee receiving reports were not being
signed as being inspected and "CNS Stores Requisitions" were not properly
completed as required by CNS Administrative Procedure 1.11, Revision 16.
A review of 20 receiving reports and 75 "CNS Store's Requisitions"
revealed no further problems in this area.
3.
Material Procurement, Receipt, Storage, and Handling
The NRC inspector reviewed the licensee's program and implementing proceduras
for receipt, storage, and control of equipment and materials, including
repair parts, for compliance with Appendix B to Part 50 of Title 10, Code
of Federal Regulations and " Cooper Nuclear Station Quality Assurance
Program for Operation," Revision 8, dated August 20, 1979.
A review of stored material revealed the following apparent problems with
squibs (primers) used in explosive (shear) valves for the Standby Liquid
Control (SLC) System and the Transversing In-Core Probe (TIP) System.
a.
Licensee Administrative Procedure 1.11, Section 1.11.5.4.3 requires
storage of hazardous essential material and parts in accordance with
Administrative Procedure 1.6.8.
Squibs purchased on order 133738
- .

were marked " Class C Explosives" with a Department of Transportation
(DOT) hazardous material label, but were not covered by the licensee
procedure 1.6, " Personnel and Equipment Safety," section 1.6.8,
" Hazardous Material Control." Squibs included as stored material
on licensee purchase orders 45338, 129388, and 174065 were not
identified as hazardous material.
This will remain an open item
until the licensee has verified that his procedures and control of
these squibs as hazardous material are adequate (8204-02).
b.
The three remaining squibs purchased on licensee order 174065 are
marked " MFD 2/81," indicating that they were manufactured in February
1981, and the licensee's shelf life control is based on that date.
The squibs are also marked with the lot number " HEC 80J005-001."
The official records for Purchase Order 174065 contain lot
acceptance test reports for lot HEC 80J005-001 stating that this lot
was tested September 16, 1980, 5 months before the indicated manufac-
turing date.
The remaining squib on licensee order 129388 is marked
with a manufacture date of October 1977.
There is no supplier docu-
mentation of this manufacturing date or of the test date, only a
certificate of compliance.
(The licensee also tested a squib on this
order.) This will remain an open item until the licensee has
obtained verification of the manufacturing dates of the subject squibs
(8204-03).
A squib on order 174065 is installed in Train A and a squib on order
129388 is installed in Train B of the SLC system.
Weaknesses in the licensees identification and handling of essential
components, materials, and parts requiring shelf life control was
identified in NRC Inspection Report 50-298/81-06.
The licensee has
made some progress in establishing a computer program for shelf life
control, but has not established a formal, documented program of
shelf life control.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires that activities
affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions or
procedures.
The " Cooper Nuclear Station Quality Assurance Program for
Operation," Revision 8, dated August 20, 1979, sections 2.4 and 2.5,
state that quality assurance activities and other activities which
have nuclear safety significance will be prescribed by documented
instructions or procedures and specifically that licensee procedures
shall include provisions for assuring that necessary quality
requirements are incorporated directly into purchase orders and
contracts for essential spare parts, material, and equipment shall
also include provisions for assuring that necessary records are
supplied to the purchaser by the supplier.

Licensee Administrative Procedure 1.11, Revision 17,
" Requisitioning, Receiving, Storage of Essential Parts and
Components," dated December 8, 1981, does not require identification
of shelf life requirements, documentation of shelf life from
suppliers, or control of shelf life after receipt of material
requiring this control.
Failure to prescribe activities affecting quality in documented
instructions or procedures is an apparent violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V (8204-01).
4.
Procedures
The inspector reviewed the following licensee approved procedures for
compliance with regulatory requirements, including Technical
Specification requirements, and with " Cooper Nuclear Station Quality
_
Assurance Program for Operation," Revision 8, dated August 20, 1979, and
for apparent technical adequacy.

No deviations or violations were identified; however, System Operating
Procedure 2.2.67, section VII.H, step 27, page 18, states " Ensure system
is in a standby configuration as per section VIII.A, steps 1. through 10."
There is no section VIII; this apparently should read "section VII."

The NRC inspector noted that Administrative Procedure 1.11,
Section 1.11.3.1.1, requires the use of the guidelines established by
CNS Instruction letter #75-1 for determination of classification of
essential parts, equipment, and materials in lieu of Table 1 of " Cooper
Nuclear Station Quality Assurance Program for Operations" in addition,
QAI-9, Revision 7, dated May 1,1981, " Guidelines for Establishing
Quality Classifications of Conponents and Materials" provides necessary
details not covered by Table 1, but is not invoked by Admininistrative
Procedure 1.11.
This will remain an open item until Administrative
Procedure 1.11 has been revised to incorporate the latest licensee require-
ments for identification of essential items (8204-04).
It is further noted by the NRC inspector that Administrative Procedure 1.3,
" Procedures," does not require a review of procedures to assure compliance
with 10 CFR Part 50.59, nor is there documentation of such a raview.
Licensee personnel stated that procedure review by the Station Operations
Review Committee (50RC) per se constitutes the required 10 CFR Part 50.59
review and that specific cerIIfication is not considered necessary.
5.
Surveillance Testing, Calibration Control, Test and Measurement
Equipment Programs
The purpose of this inspection was to review the licensee's program for
surveillance testing and calibration control for plant process and
test and measurement equipment.
This review was to verify that the
licensee's programs as developed and implemented conform to the
requirements of technical specifications section 4, 10 CFR 50.55(a) and
(g), Regulatory Guide 1.33 and IEEE 336.
The scope of this inspection included discussions with technicians,
supervisory, and coordination personnel, review of surveillance testing
and calibration schedules, logs, and status reports, and the review of the
following records and procedures:
Test instrument data records for Test Instruments 15-1793, 15-2514,
15-2541, 15-2633, and 15-2682, and Nonconformance Report 002338.

6.
Barge Traffic
Paragraph 5.7 of the technical specifications states:
" Barge traffic on the Missouri River past the site has been analyzed to
determine that the present size and cargo materials do not create a hazard
to the safe operation of the plant.
Contact will be maintained with the
Corps of Engineers to determine if and when additional analyses are
required due to changes in barge size or cargo."
}
,___
i
.
9
The NRC inspector discussed this requirement with a licensee representative
and determined that a memo to the Corps of Engineers from the station
superintendent dated April 24, 1980, was on file.
There was no apparent
response and this appears to be the only contact since the original
requirement in 1973/74.
The NRC inspector voiced concern over the apparent
lack of response and follow-up.
The licensee's representative said that
this would be investigated.
This will remain an open item pending licensee's
resolution (8204-05).
7.
Exit Interview
An exit interview was conducted on February 12, 1982, with those NPPD
personnel denoted in paragraph 1 of this report to summarize the scope of
the inspection and the findings.
