D. L. Caphton, Senic'; Reactor Inspector
Directorate of Regulatory Operations, Region 1
RO INSPECTION REPORT No. 50-219/73-04
JERSEY CENTRAL POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
OYSTER CREEK
This report points out two matters at Oyster Creek that cause me a great deal
-of concern, the first E 'ng the attitude toward procedures.
In my discussions
with the Operations Supervisor, he stated that he would not have shut the
plant down to recover a cold loop, despite the fact that the Operating-
,,
Procedure required shutting the plant down to recover a cold loop. The
' t
,
. reply that the Station Superintendent gave concerning this matter during
our discussion was the proper course of action; however, I am not sure in
my own mind that Jersey would have followed A course of action had they
realized the requirement to shut the plant
Aen this event occurred. I
believe that the -supervision there would ha,
considered the requirement to
shut down as being inserted in the procedure via a temporary procedure change
and as such it could be removed from the procedure in the same manner. The
other matter that causes me a great deal of concern is the matter of what is
recorded in the log books and the fact that this event was not noted in either
a+g
the control room log or the shift foreman's log. The matter of information
^
in these log books has been discussed previously in exit interviews and at
the time the licensee's representative agreed to take action to assure that
more complete information was put in these logs. From my findings, it
. appears that this action has not been effective. This is my basis for re'
questing Jersey Central to address this matter in their reply to our en-
forcement letter. We can not discharge our rest onsibility to the public
when we permit plant records to be only " success records", not true his-
- <
tories of plant operation.
.
'
An inspection was not made in the area of corrective actions to violations
identified in the previous inspection; however, this matter was discussed
during the exit interview. From statements made there,it appears the
licensee has corrected the violations that he can correct immediately,
and it appears that other action is underway to reduce the inventory of waste
at the plant and to obtain help in cleaning up the plant. There is no doubt
in my mind that the licensee took our meeting with management seriously.
