SUMMARY
OF JULY 18, 1985 ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION AUDIT EXIT MEETING During the period of July 15 through July 18, 1985, the NRC staff and its consultant, EG&G Idaho, conducted the environmental qualification audit of electrical eauipment important to safety which are located in harsh environments.
An exit meeting was held on July 18, 1985. Exit meeting attendees are ident-ified in the Enclosure. During the audit the staff reviewed 10 files containing equipment qualification information. Also, a plant walkdown was conducted to verify tha equipment installation and traceability of equipment to qualification reports. During the audit, one of the files was not reviewed because the environment present during accident conditions was no more severe than the environment during normal conditions. This equipment is not covered by 10CFR50.49, but should be included as part of mild envirionment equipment qualification review.
During the audit, the staff made several observations and coments on different equipment qualification files. These observations and coninents have been dis-cussed with PSE&G personnel and in most cases, agreement to resolve the comments has been reached. These comments and observations are sumarized below.
1.
During the audit, several minor comments were noted on SCEW sheets.
PSE&G has agreed to make these changes and submit a marked up copy to the NRC to resolve the connents.
2.
Out of 9 files reviewed, the staff and its consultant were able to resolve the comments on all files except for two files on the flexible conduit and Pyco thermocouples.
On Pyco thermocouples, PSE&G has agreed to send a letter to justify the thennal lag response time of the thermocouples with respect to the accuracy and set point requirements.
Regarding flexible conduit, PSE&G has used the similarity argunent to justify the qualification of the flexible conduit. This similarity was based on the material only. The staff cannot accept the similarity based on material only. The similarity should also include items such as form, fit, and manufacturing process, etc.

. During the plant walkdown, the fellowing observations web made:
3.
a.
The tag icentifying the equipment recel, serial number, and other manufacturing information on the Standby Liquid Control (SLC) explosive valve was missing.
b.
The tag on FCI level sensor body has ID. No. 1BC-LSH-4403C1, while the tag on the cable and external tag on the body has Ib nunber LSh-4151-1. PSE&G was able to shew the field requisition to change the tag number; however, the tag on the senscr body was not changed to riatch the ceble ano the metal tag.
c.
One of the bolts on the casing of the Rotork Valve 1EC-HVC-F048A Wds missing.
d.
The flexible conduit used in the reactor building was not included in the qualification prcgram. A justification stating whether this will be included in the program or it is not requirec for equiptent functional requirement end qualification purposes should be provided.
Based on these observations, the staff recor. rended that PSE&G should audit installed equipment and confirm that all the require-ments relating to equipment cualifications, e.g. installation, traceability, etc., are followed.
4.
The staff also briefly discussed the maintenance and surycillance program with PSE&G. During this ciscussion the staff suggested some improvements which should be included in the program. PSE&G stated that they are at various stages of the procedures to include equipment qualification requirements. PSE&G should confirm to the
_ staff when all the procedures and training of the technicians are completed.
5.
The staff briefly discussed the techanical equipment qualification program and its status. The staff also identified three mechanicci equipment qualification packages which shculd be sent for staff review.
6.
The staff expresseo concern regarding using average temperature for aging calculations. PSE&G has stated that in most cases they can use the maximum temperature as a basis for aging but for sonc areas, in orde'r to avoid any penalty in terms of reduced qualified lite, they might use a temperature monitoring system which will be used as a basis to confirm the temperature of the area.
7.
During the walkdcun, the staff also measured the body tenperature of the Valcor and ASCO solenoid valves which were in the energized condi-tion. The measurenents were approximately 194* F and 128* F for VALCOR and ASCO solenoids, respectively. The ambient temperature was 86' F.
Hence, fcr equipment which is continuously energized, the use of ambient tenperature for the aging calculation is not justified.
PSE8G should confim that either there is no safety related equipment contin-uously energized or that they have included the temperature rise for the energized equipraent for aging consideration.
+
3 In ccriclusion, the staff finds that the equipient qualification prograra at hope Creek is in good conditicn ut tbc staff did not find any major areas of concern except these which have been identified herein.
In many cases, the applicant was able to resolve the staff's concerns during the audit.
