Monthly Maintenance Observation (62703)
Station maintenance activities of safety-related systems and components were
observed / reviewed to ascertain that they were conducted in accordance with
approved procedurer, regulatory guides, industry codes and standards, and
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.

6.
Operational Safety Verification (71707)
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.

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.
