Licensee Action On Previous Inspection Findings
.
!
(Closed) Open Item (458/8422-03):
Chemistry / Radiochemistry Training Program - This item involved the development and implementation of a formal training program for chemistry / radiochemistry personnel.
The NRC inspector reviewed the formal training program which had been
. developed for chemistry / radiochemistry personnel. The training program was scheduled to be implemented on August 5, 1985, in conjunction with the chemistry / radiochemistry technician shift rotation schedule.
This item is considered closed.
(Closed) Open Item (458/8422-04):
Chemistry / Radiochemistry Program - This item involved the failure to implement all requirements necessary for a i

satisfactory chemistry / radiochemistry program as committed to in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) and draft Technical Specifications (TS).
The NRC inspector reviewed the chemistry / radiochemistry program and found
"
the licensee had completed and approved all identified administrative procedures, surveillance procedures, chemical control procedures, instrument calibration and performance check procedures, and chemistry /
- -
radiochemistry analytical procedures.
All analytical procedures had been tested and verified using known standards.
The various chemistry sample
-
panels had been installed and tested.
Sample points had be?n verified and
~
sample lines traced and measured for determining sample line flush times to provide representative samples.
The licensee had tested and revised the sampling procedures to operate the various chemistry sample panels and had incorporated into the sampling procedures sample flush times calculated from line measurements to provide representative samples.
The licensee had completed verification of tank volumes for chemistry tanks and had determined tank recirculation times for the liquid radwaste recovery tanks to produce a representative sample. This item is considered closed.
(Closed) Open Item (458/8422-09):
Procedures - This item involved the lack of completed and approved procedures necessary to implement and
'
conduct a satisfactory chemistry / radiochemistry program.
The licensee had written and approved all proposed procedures.
The NRC inspector reviewed selected chemistry / radiochemistry procedures in the " Station Operating Manual" and found that they appeared to be sufficient to effectively implement a chemistry / radiochemistry program.
This item is considered closed.
3.
Facilities, Equipment, and Supplies The NRC inspector reviewed the status of the chemistry sample panels and
.
.
associated process instrumentation.
The licensee had stated during the last chemistry / radiochemistry inspection (NRC), conducted during the period of June 10-14, 1985, that the reactor water sample panel and makeup water sample panel, and installed process instrumentation on these panels, would be tested, calibrated, and operable prior to fuel load.
The NRC inspector reviewed the licensee's efforts to ready these panels for operation and determined that the work was appproximately 70 percent
,
complete at the time of the inspection.
The licensee had committed to
have the turbine plant sample panel, condensate demineralizer sample panel, and radwaste sample panel and installed process instrumentation on these panels tested, calibrated, and operable prior to initial criticality.
Open Item (458/8422-06):
Facilities, Equipment, and
.
Supplies will remain open pending completion of construction, testing, and calibration of the chemistry sample panels and associated process instrumentation.
No violations or deviations were identified.

Statu; of the Chemistry / Radiochemistry Section During this inspectim the NRC inspector reviewed the licensee's status in the areas of training, chemistry / radiochemistry program implementation, facilities and equipment, and administrative and analytical procedures and found licensee's chemistry / radiochemistry section actions to be nearly complete in resolving NRC concerns in this area.
Of the nine open items originally identified during the initial preoperational chemistry / radio-chemistry inspection conducted in July 1984, seven are presently closed leaving two to be resolved and closed.
All of the open items are expected to be resolved prior to exceeding 5 percent power.
No violations or deviations were identified.
5.
Exit Briefing The NRC inspector met with licensee representatives identified in para-graph 1 of this report and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector and the Chief, Facilities Radiological Protection Section, NRC Region IV, at the conclusion of the inspection on July 26, 1985.
The NRC inspector indi-cated that the remaining two outstanding open items in this area should be resolved prior to the plant exceeding 5 percent power.
The licensee committed to the following:
The reactor water sample panel and makeup water sample panel and a.
associated installed process instrumentation on these panels would be tested, calibrated, and operable prior to fuel load.
b.
The turbine plant sample panel, condensate demineralizer sample panel, and radwaste sample panel and associated installed process instrumentation on these panels would be tested, calibrated, and operable prior to initial criticality.
I c.
The postaccident sampling system would be installed and tested prior to exceeding 5 percent power.
