Other Significant Findings

A.

Current Findings

1.

Pla'nt Status

On August 27, 1975, a reactor scram occurred due to loss of

condenser vacuum apparently attributed to restoration of a

valved out condenser to service. The licensee has experienced

significant condenser tube leakage problems. Radwaste system

processing capability and necessity to obtain new resins for

the cleanup system delayed startup. Licensee plans to.in-

stall inserts to eliminate condenser tube leakage problems.

10 CFR 50.59 Reviews

The inspector reviewed Semi-Annual Reports No. 10 dated August

29, 1974 and No. 11 dated February 28, 1975, Sections VIII,

Tests and Experiments.

Items reviewed included eddy current

testing of control rod blades, shutdown margin testing, and

secondary leak rate testing. No inadequacies were identified

with respect to reviews of shutdown margin testing and eddy

EU*4

current tests of rod blades. Differential pressure measure-

ments as required by Secondary Containment Leak Rata Test

Procedure 602.6, Revision 6, dated July 11, 1974, were not

recorded for testing conducted on October 7, 1974, when test-

ing was performed to verify Secondary Containment Integrity.

The inspector noted that some logkeeping activities conducted by

the licensee had not been administrative 1y defined. As a result,

,'

inconsistencies were observed in logkeeping.

The Control Room

2 [g

Operator's Data Log contained entries such as " BUSY" instead of

operating data, resulting in a loss of information for periods up

to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. No licensee requirements covering the use of such

entries was found by the inspector. Additionally, a daily source

check of the stack gas radiation monitor, normally entered in the

Station Control Room Operator's Log daily, was not conducted on

August 14 and 15, 1975. No requirement was found for performing

this check daily although it had been a continuing practice.

The inspector informed licensee representatives that if the above

were desired activities, administrative definition should be pro-

vided to the operators.

4.

Operations

Condenser Leaks

a.

The licensee was continuing to experience difficulty with con-

denser tube leakage which resulted in equilibrium chloride

concentrations of 100 ppb in primary coolant water.

This

concentration is a factor of 10 below Technical Specification

  1. 6

3.3.E limits for steaming rates in excess of 100,000 pounds

per hour, but was equal to limits for operation below 100,000

pounds per hour.

On August 27, 1975, a reactor scram occurred

due to loss of condenser vacuum upon restoration of a valved

out condenser half to service.

Startup was delayed until

new resins could be obtained.

The licensee was apprised by a cognizant licensee representa-

tive that the licensee was purchasing copper-nickle inserts

approximately three (3) feet in length with a fiber seal at

one end which will be rolled into tube sheets.

Condenser

tube leakage problems have been pronounced and metal loss

apparently due to hydraulics and cavitation has been identi-

fled in the condensers.

According to the licensee, the.

problem is localized to within the first 2.5 to 3 feet of the

inlet of the tube sheet. Tube leakage is evidenced in 10-25%

of the tubes in all condenser halves.

This item will be

reviewed further during a subsequent inspection.

'$E'$

During conduct of a f acility tour, the inspector noted a steam

,

-

leak in the area between the two (2) Isolation Condensers.

' '

The floor area had been appropriately roped off as a contami-

nated area. The inspector was apprised that the leak would be

repaired during the current shutdown.

Valve Wall Thickness Verification Program *

c.

Status of completion remains unchanged.

Discussions with

licensee representatives indicated that the licensee has con-

cluded that a representative sample which has been completed

and as was described in a JCP&L letter to Region I dated

' July 21, 1972, completes licensee action.

This item was dis-

cussed at the exit interview and remains unresolved.

5.

Reactivity Control and Core Physics

Control Rod Blade Inspections

The inspector reviewed the licensee's data and supporting documenta-

tion related to inspection and evaluation of Control Rod Blade

inspection.

No inadequacies were identified with respect to scope

hMy

of required 10 CFR 50.59 reviews completed and/or in progress.

Data further indicated a total reduction in shutdown margin capa-

bility of less than 0.09% Ak.

Control Rod Statistical Comparative Data

Electrical Systems

The inspector visually examined electrical cables supplied from the

Battery Room Distribution Panels A and B.

Findings were as follows:

Redundant 125 volt DC control circuits, serving as backup for

a.

the battery and controls occupy a single common tray from the

power distribution panels in the battery room to the point

,

where they enter conduits to continue underground to the

,

'

diesel generator building.

(DC-2 cable 86-68 and DC-1 cable

86-19)- These cables are in a common tray and terminate into

tray 24.

b.

Redundant 125 volt DC control circuits serving the 4160 volt

vital busses (1C and 1D) do not occupy the same common tray.

The 1C bus feed (Cable 62-88) which is located in Panel A has

been placed in separate conduit outside the common tray, and

the 1D bus feed from Panel B (Cable 62-100) is located inside

5%A9

the tray.

Physical separation provided in this instance is on

the order of 2.5 ~ to 3 feet except at the point where cable 62-

100 exits the distribution panel adjacent to the common tray.

.

Circuitry is described on DC line drawing 302-8 Revision 10,

c.

reviewed for as-built conditions, June 10, 1970.

This item with respect to adequacy of separation is considered

unresolved.

The inspector also observed openings in the battery room and cable

r/r.ading room.*

No requirements were identified to seal such

ope ings.

'cnis item is cansidered unresolved with respect to

design evaluation.

Fuel Handling

a.

Spent Fuel Handling

The inspector observed the loading of two fuel bundles into-

the NSF-4 shipping cask and the subsequent handling of the

cask for spent fuel shipment #54 on Angust 27, 1975.

Station Operating Procedure 219.0 (Revision 4, dated June 19,

1975), Spent Fuel Handling with NSF-4 Cask, Step 8.40 requires

a test of the cask cap double o-ring seals be performed as

" Pressurize with air the annulus between the double

follows:

o-ring seals to between 80 and 100 psig, isolate, held for 10

minutes, and check for zero pressure leak down with NFS supplied

pressure test equipment".

It was observed by an inapector on August 27, 1975, at approxi-

mately 1330, following cap installation on the cask for spent

fuel shipment number 54, that the o-ring pressure test was not

4644

conducted in accordance with the approved procedure specified

above.

Specifically, the test pressure applied exceeded the

indicated range of the pressure gauge (0-100 psig range) on

the NF3 supplied equipment. The indicated pressure corres-

ponded to approximately 110 psig by visual extrapolation of

the gauge scale. The gauge indicator did not contact the

mechanical stop.

A licensee representative stated that the 80-100 psig pressure

was difficult to obtain because the service air supply pressure

is 140 psig and is provided via a gate valve.

The inspector stated that this was an apparent failure to

follow procedure and that the absence of scale markings on

the gauge in the range over 100 psig makes the application

of the test acceptance criterion (i.e., no leakge) difficult.

Spent Fuel Cask Contamination

Shipment No. 48 nrrived at NFS on August 22, 1975, with six

.

of eight' amears exceeding the 2,200 dpm limit established by

.

DOT. The highest reading was reported to be 56,000 dpm.

The

(,

inspector reviewed the licensee's Smear Survey 2024-75 dated

August 21, 1975, which indicated 54 smears had been taken in-

cluding decontamination. No unusual results were noted, and

'

smear data indicated measured levels within limits. The

licensee's investigation was continuing.

Radiation Protection

During observation of spent fuel handling operations, the inspector

noted that personnel on the 119' elevation (refueling floor) did

not. routinely use, nor have easy access to a frisker to verify 'that

58dM

no contamination was leaving that level following fuel cask decon-

+

tamination.

A licensee representative stated that a frisker which was being

,

used to count smears of the cask was available in the stairwell

area.

.

The inspector's statement that this was not convenient and probably,

J,

for that reason not used, was acknowledged by the licensee.

Security Controls

.

.I,!

(1)

Reactor Building Doors and Locks

During the course of a facility tour conducted of areas

external to the Reactor Building on August 26, 1975,

.the inspector observed that the Northeast door (outer

airlock door) to the reactor building was ajar. Accomp-

anied by a licensee representative, the inspector veri-

fled inner door integrity (Secondary Containment) and

observed the outer door as locked but not capable of

complete closure without a manual assist. The door was

properly closed prior to proceeding with the facility

tour. Two licensee representatives were located in the

,

vicinity of the Nitrogen Tank and Station, however, these

personnel did not have the subject door under surveil-

lance.

Failure of the closure to selflock was attributed

by the licensee to door sill problems, which were sub-

sequently resolved.

The Oyster Creek Industrial Security Plan, dated Janu-

i

ary 7,1974, Section 3.4.2, " Control" specifics, that

access be controlled by locked doors or security / opera-

ting personnel. This failure to maintain the referenced

'

J

door in a locked status as listed under Enforcement

Action constitutes an apparent Infraction level Item of

Noncompliance.

Additionally, this item is recurrent in

that the Northeast door to.the reactor building was found

ajar due to a faulty door closure during a prior inspection.*

(2) Vital Area Access Logs

The inspector during the conduct of a facility tour on

August 28, 1975, was accompanied by a licensee repre-

sentative to the cable spreading room, a designated Vital

A area. The Cable Spreading Room door was posted with

respect to Vital Area Log requirements for sign-in and

sign-out. No entries were required during this tour of

the inspector or licensee representative.

During a sub-

sequent tour on August 29, 1975, appropriate sign-in and

sign-out procedures were in effect.
