'IMI-l PLANT STATUS REPORT EOR 'IEE PERIOD File: Weekly Report / Sign. Events Subject OCIOBER 15 - OCICBER 28, 1983 Report 3000-83-337 To R. C. Arnold - President Location 'IMI - Trailer 4122 P. R. Clark - Executive Vice President f4

'Ihe plant status report for the subject period is indicated below:

PLANT STATUS

- As of today, the plant is drained down below the level of the decay ,

heat drop line tap, and work is in progress to disassenble and repair DHV-1. Plant tertperature rose more rapidly than esqected initially after drain down, but is now tapering off and heading up at less than a half a degree an hour. We estimate that as a mininra we will have at least ten days frm initial cooldown until we will again require decay heat renoval capability. It is anticipated that we will be able to caplete the tap for the vessel water level indicator and the installation of the head vents while we' are in the drain down condition for the mV-1 repairs. Technical Functions is investigating the installa-tion of a tatporary system for circulating the primary side of the steam generators while cooled down. This installation will also require us to be in the drain down condition. As of this time, I am not aware of the status of this project with Technical Etnctions.

- Technical Functions requested that we make every effort to determine that there were no thiosulphates in the primary systen prior to plant drain down. With Systens Lab's assistance, we were able to develcp procedures l using the ion chrcanatagraph to measure thiosulphates. It was determined J that there were no thiosulphates in the primary coolant and this was verified by Technical Functions personnel prior to drain down.

- The first Restart Readiness Prerequisite Meeting for Flag 2, Hot Functional /

Critical Testing, was conducted on October 20. Although this meeting was very long and we went into extensive detail on many of the itens yet to be carrpleted, it proved very valuable in clearly laying out to all those  !

j curs:gTed the work remaining to be ocarpleted before we are ready for Irr and PET. 'Ihere are a total of about 400 items yet to be capleted, many I of which are small and just require that the responsible individual take the necessary time to get it done and signed off. The next meeting will be held about the first of Decstber, at which time we anticipate having the trajority of itans signed off as empleted. We should at that time be able to identify ard direct our resources to any critical items still remaining. It is our intent to have the plant in a full state of readiness woocus

November 1,1983 R. C. Arrold 3000-83-337 P. R. Clark for criticality and so report to .the NRC prior to ccr:mencing any of the long term modifications that would again place the plant in a degraded condition.

- Systs modifications are being emineered for the phnt page systs to limit page traffic in the Control Rocm. Modification kits required frcm GAI-Tronics are on order and should be available in 4-6 weeks. Plant Maintenance personnel will make the necessary in-plant rrodifications on a priority basis once the modification kits are received.

- 2e preliminary lay out of the microwave security systs has been ccr:pleted.

- A freon leak tracer test has been conducted and the leaks through the environmental barrier to Unit 2 have been identified. Correction of the problem areas is underway. I consider that this item is r@rtable'to the NBC and the Licensing Board. Site Licensing is following up on this report.

- h supplier of the Reactor Building purge valve seats (Henry Pratt Co.)

filed a 10CFR21 report on defective rubber seat material supplied to TMI-1. Se report was based on a cracked seat segment removed frtrn a M -1 valve. Se cracking was found to be a result of delamination of

( plies attributable to the moldirq sucass method used. Upon correction t

of the manufacturing process technique, Pratt will provide replacement seat material. 'IMI-l valves presently exhibit satisfactory leak tightness, so inspection and replacement of existing seals will be deferred until rep 1-nt material is available since seat retroval is required to inspect.

- A purchase requisition has been written and is currently in the review chain to award a contract to Benatec Associates for the design of a 'IMI fire brigade training facility, which will be located between the Unit 1 cooling towers. h construction of this building has been cleared and approved by Envirorxtental Licensing. The cost of the building is anticipated to be 30 - 35 K.

r

- OrSGs are both in wet layup with chemistry in spec. Sulphates are contirruing to be tracked on a daily basis. Scme fluctuation of sulphate concentration to just slightly greater than the 100 ppb specification had been noted. .

REGUIATORY ISSUES (PIANT bFEmC)

- 2ere were two prcrrpt r@rtable events during the past two weeks as

> indicated below:

. Se hays gas analyzer was taken out of service for surveillance which reqaires a four hour grab sartple to be taken. A grab sample was not s .

R. C. Arnold Novernber 1,1983 P. R. Clark 3000-83-337 I

taken for a period of about eight hours. This was a result of personnel error directly related to a lack of ccumunications and appropriate follow up by the Shift Supervisor / Shift Mrsnan and a Qwmistry Technician. Those involved have been appropriately counseled.

. Technical Specification Amendment 88 was issued as inmediately effective. This Technical Specification requires sanpling when discharging fran the IWFS-IWrS with a new nonitor (BMI,-12) which is not installed yet. In our request for the Technical Specification Amendment,we had asked it to be effective when the new monitor was insullM; however, the NBC made it effective i==91ately. A discharge was mnducted after receipt of this Technical Specification before we realized that it required BME,-12 to be operable. We are requesting the NBC to nodify the inpleantation date of the Technical Specifica-tion to correwd to installation and operability of BMI,-12.

- NBC Carbined Inspection Apu;G 50-289/83-25 and 50-289/83-26 mvering the period August 24 through October 3 were received Friday, October 28, 1983. Because of the large nmber of apparent violations described in the inspection zwLs, the NBC has requested an enforcement conference with us on Noverober 8,1983 at 9:30 a.m. at the Begion Headquarters. The NBC

(

indicated that as part of their review of these matters they want to t discuss with us the circumstances surrounding the apparent violations.

The Plant Staff is making a thorough review of those items regu ted by the NBC, as well as all LERs generated during the period, to determine the underlying causes, corrective actions required and to prepare us for the meeting on Noverber 8. It is currently planned that Messrs. Clark, Tbole, Smyth, Nelson, Kuehn and myself will attend for the ccrrpany.

- There were three NIC inspection exit meetings conducted on October 26, 1983.

Three non-empliances and three unresolved items were identified. On the encouraging side, one of these inspections dealt specifically with the chmistry progrm, and the NBC inspector repcu;ted that he considered the chemistry p%.u to be very good and would so indicate in the inspection r% L. He also indicated he would close out the restart its requiring review of the chmistry program as a result of this inspection.

TBAINING

• - As noted in my previous report, J. C. Herman fd led both a required requalification examination and subsequent reexamination. As a result, he was removed frun licensed duties during the week of October 10 and placed in an accelerated training program. He passed the required

, examination on October 14 and was returned to licensed duties on October 17.

The Manager of Operations evaluated Herman's performance at the sinulator last week. He considered Herman's performance to be more than satisfactory and certainly good enough to remain on licensed duties. We are still

' I

g R. C. Arnold tbvernber 1,1983 P. R. Clark 3000-83-337 E i

concerned regarding Heman's ability to retain the requisite knowledge necessary for an SPD. He appears to have problems in absorbing the information frcm what he is taught and studies.

We are working closely with Training in an attempt to inprove Hezman's ability to retain the infeemation required and to inprove his study habits. We are monitoring his progress closely.

• - W. A. Fraser recently failed a required requalification examination and reexamination. Training has re,...+nded, and I have agreed, that he be pl e M on a special study program and then reexamined; but that he not be renoved frcm licensed duties because of his past superior training record.

{

5 - Major ernphasis is being placed on inplementation of the A'IOG program.

PrMres are due to be ocupleted by the first week in Mr and crew training will take place at the sinulator in the nonths of January and February. Final inplementation should follow on closely to ccupletion of crew trainirg.

g PERSCNNEL

- An additional I&C Technician has subnitted his resignation. 'Ihis makes three resignations in the past nonth. Retention of I&C personnel E continues to be a major problem.

4

• - I recently received a survey of Peactor Operator c.u p ation of GPU vs.

eight other utilities in the northeastern area. GPU ranked eighth out l

of nine and was well below the average hourly pay rate for Peactor

" Operators. Although this does not seem to have had a negative inpact, i as yet, since we have only had one resignation in two years, I ramm=nd that Human Resources review this area very closely to ensure that we I

remain cxmopetitive. We can ill-afford to lose the critical talents

represented by our Peactor Operators at this time. We have finally i achieved an appropriate nutber of qualified operators and need to take every action to retain them.

CENERAL l

) - An emerge:ry drill was conducted on October 19 utilizing the new IDF y and the newly inctalled ML8000 emergency phone systan and the modified t TSC. Scme minor problems with the phone system were identified and are being corrected prior to the next drill which is scheduled for Novstber 2.

[ The NBC and the State will participate in this drill, and INPO will p

evaluate it. The annual exercise for score is still scheduled for

• Novstber 16.

' Assessment of Compliance to Procedural /

Regulatory Requirements on "D" Shift In conclusion, "D" Shift was found to work within the scope of their regulating procedures. The few infractions discovered were of minor consequences, and were easily corrected on the spot. The infractions were of the nature that they were probably overlooked or hurried over.

Although I have stated that these omissions must be corrected, it must be noted that the infractions were found at the beginning of the monitoring period. During the final week of the monitoring period, no problems were recorded as requiring corrections on the spot.

All departments monitored on "D" Shift were cooperative and professional in their dealings with an OQA Shift Monitor. All requests for information or explanations were promptly handled and thoroughly supplied by the pertinent department.
