were in conformance with Technical Specifications.

The following items were considered during the review: limiting conditions

for operations were met while components or systems were removed from

service; approvals were obtained prior to initiating the work; activities

were accomplished using approved procedures and were inspected as appli-

cable; functional testing and/or calibrations were performed prior to

returning components or systems to service; quality control records were

maintained; activities were accomplished by qualified personnel; parts and

materials were properly certified; radiological controls were implemented;

and fire prevention controls were implemented.

Work requests were reviewed to determine the status of outstanding jobs to

assure that priority was assigned to safety-related equipment maintenance

which may affect system performance. The following maintenance activities

were observed / reviewed:

Unit 2 RHR Trains A and B Flow Transmitter.

Unit 1 Containment Tendons.

Within the areas inspected no violations or deviations were identified.

6. Operational Safety Verification (71707)

l

The inspectors observed control room operations, reviewed applicable logs

and conducted discussions with control room operators during the report

period. The inspectors verified the operability of selected emergency

systems, reviewed tagout records, and verified proper return to service of

affected components. Tours of the auxiliary, diesel, and turbine buildings

were conducted to observe plant equipment conditions, including fluid leaks

and excessive vibrations.

The inspectors verified compliance with selected Limited Condition for

Operations (LCO) and results of selected surveillance tests. The verifi-

cations were accomplished by direct observation of monitoring instrumen-

tation, valve positions, switch positions and review of completed logs,

records, and chemistry results. The licensee's compliance with LCO action

statements was reviewed as they happened.

The following systems and components were observed / verified operational:

-

Station electrical boards in the control room and various electrical

boards throughout the plant for proper electrical alignment.

- Certain accessible hydraulic snubbers.

- Accessible portions of service water and component cooling water

systems.

- Units 1 and 2 suction and discharge piping and valves on auxiliary

feedwater system.

- Diesel generators and support systems.

- Certain accessible portions of CVCS piping and valves to and from the

charging /high head safety injection pumps.

- Certain portions of RHR and containment spray systems.

- Portions of various other systems (safety-related and non-safety-

related).

Within the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.

7. IndependentInspectionEffort(92706)

The inspectors routinely attended meetings with certain licensee management

and observed various shift turnovers between shift supervisors, shift

foreman, and licensed operators. These meetings and discussions provided a

daily status of plant operating, maintenance, and testing activities in

progress, as well as discussions of significant problems.

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 and include the

organization of the security force; the establishment and maintenance of

gates, doors, and isolation zones; that access control and badging were

proper; and procedures were followed.

During the reporting interval, the inspector verified compliance with

selected Limited Conditions for Operation (LCO) and results of selected

surveillance tests. The verifications were accomplished by direct observa-

tion of monitoring instrumentation, valve positions, switch positions and

review of completed logs, records, and chemistry results.

During a plant inspection on May 22, 1985, the inspector found unattended

flammable materials in the hot machine shop in the auxiliary building. This

flammable material consisted of I spray can of Zinc-IT, 2 spray cans of

flammable magnaflux on open metal shelves and several spray cans of

flammable magnaflux inside an open cardboard box in a contaminated area.

The cans of magnaflux were labeled flammable; the can of Zinc-IT was labeled

extremely flamab;e. There were no one in attendance in the hot shop.

Administrative Procedure 35, General Plant Housekeeping and Cleanliness

Control, section 5.1.9 requires that flammable liquids will not be stored

or left unattended in the auxiliary building, diesel generator building or

service water structure at any time.

This is a violation (348/85-24-01).

The licensee initiated corrective action by removing the flammable material

and conducted a survey of all areas.

8. Plant Startup from Refueling and Design Changes

The inspector observed Unit 1 startup and return to service on May 25, 1985.

Various physics tests were observed. The inspector verified the tests were

properly approved and that test personnel were qualified.

The inspector reviewed various system return to service check lists to

verify valves were locked in the proper position and that valve position

verification had been completed.

9. Engineered Safety Systems Inspection

The inspector performed a system inspection of the diesel generators. This

inspection included the engine starting air system, engine jacket cooling

water system, service water system alignment in the diesel generator

building, diesel generator building fire protection and detection system,

diesel generator building ventilation system, electrical switch gear

alignment, annunciator response procedures, operating procedures, operator

logs and housekeeping.

The systems were assessed to be operable in accordance with the Technical

Specifications, appropriate drawings, procedures, and the Final Safety

Analysis Report.

Within the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.
