2. Instrumentation Maintenance

The instrumentation maintenance program was examined for conformance with

regulatory requirements, Technical Specifications, and licensee

commitments.

The inspector selected a number of preventive maintenance activities that

were in progress in connection with the reactor protection system and the

engineered safety features system. The inspector then proceeded to

review the procedures for the licensee's corrective and preventive

maintenance program. The inspector's review established that the

licensee has satisfactory procedures to accomplish preventive

maintenance. The following items were observed in the reviewed

procedures:

a. Administrative approvals for removing and restoring an. item to

service, with specific attention to system lineup and verification

prior to its return to service.

b. Provisions to require the latest approved drawings and instructions

are used.

c. Provisions for returning the item maintained and the affected system

to the original configuration following maintenance, and verifying

that the configuration is correct.

d. Provisions for operational readiness testing of item maintained and

affected system following maintenance.

e. Provisions for the control of housekeeping during the maintenance

effort.

f. Provisions for cleaning safety-related systems /cotcponents during

maintenance.

.

g. Provisions for obtaining approval from operations when affected

systems are removed from service and when systems are ready to be

restored to normal service.

The inspector's review of. corrective and preventive maintenance

procedures found one procedural deficiency.

This procedural deficiency was found during review of PICT-10-1, Reactor

Protection System, and was that the test equipment used was not recorded

on the data sheet, namely a stop watch and a Fluke Digital multi meter

used for the functional reactor trip breaker test. The Instrumentation

and Control Supervisor initiated a change to PICT-10-1 data sheet to

include the test equipment used in the PICT.

The inspector observed work in progress with Instrumentation and Control

(I&C) personnel. The inspector observed the following items during the

work process: ,

a, that proper operational personnel had been notified and clearance

issued

b. appropriate maintenance work orders had been issued and approved

c. that the latest approved procedures, drawings, and instructions were

being used

d. that qualified test equipment and tools were being used

e. that adequate identification of jumpers and lifted leads were

maintained

f. that proper restoration of barriers and covers were accomplished

g. that required system lineups had been accomplished and verified

prior to functional testing

h. that adequate functional testing was performed prior to returning

the equipment to operations for system restoration.

The inspector's review of the maintenance activities in progress

established that the licensee had satisfactory procedures and personnel

to perform the desired maintenance activity. The inspector found another

procedural deficiency during review of PICT-12-1 Seismic Monitoring

Triaxial Time-History Recording. This deficiency was in Paragraph 9.0,

" Acceptance Criteria", in which the acceptable requirements of the

graphic recordings should all meet the requirements of step 7.2.21.

Step 7.2.21 was incorrectly referenced and the correct reference should

have been Step 7.2.22. The Instrumentation and Control (I&C) supervisor

initiated a procedural change to PICT-12-1 to correctly specify

step 7.2.22.

The inspector reviewed records of completed maintenance activities of the

I&C department. The inspector observed the following items during the

record review:

a. required administrative approvals were obtained prior to initiating

the work

b. the acceptance criteria were met

c. functional testing, adjustments, and calibrations, as necessary,

were completed prior to returning the equipment to operations

d. qualified personnel performed the activity

e. corrective, and preventive maintenance records were assembled,

stored, and retrievable as part of the maintenance history

f. records, plans, drawings, and instructions which were affected have

been updated.

The inspector discovered during the record review that during various

performances of PICT-11-1 Nuclear Instrumentation, Power Range Setpoint

Test, that the step 7.2.3, Power Range High Voltage, was not recorded in

the PICT-11-1, data sheets. The dates of performance and Power Range

Channels were July 9, 1985 (Channel No. 44), October 7, 1984 (Channel

No. 41), June 20, 1984 (Channel No. 42), and May 12, 1984

(Channel No. 43). This appears to be a violation of Technical

Specification Section 6.8.1, which requires that written procedures shall

be established, implemented and maintained covering surveillance and test

activities of safety-related equipment (50-344/85-36-01). The inspector

'

also discovered that test equipment type data was not fully recorded

during the performances of the following PICTs:

(1) PICT 2-1 (Reactor Coolant Flow, Protection Set I) dated January 2,

1985; September 3, 1985.

(2) PICT 2-2, dated October 3, 1983; January 2, 1985; September 3, 1985

(3) PICT 2-3, dated October 3, 1983; January 2, 1985; September 3, 1985

(4) PICT 3-1, (Steam Flow-Feedwater Flow, Steam Line Pressure and

Turbine First Stage Pressure), dated September 4, 1985

(5) PICT 3-2, dated July 15, 1985; September 5, 1985

(6) PICT 4-1, (Pressurizer Level Trip Setpoint Test-Protection Set 1)

dated August 28, 1985; September 9, 1985

(7) PICT 4-2, dated August 28, 1985; September 9, 1985

(8) PICT 4-3, dated August 28, 1985;' September 9, 1985

These various PICTs required that the equipment type and tag number of

the test instrument used be recorded on the various PICTs data sheets.

The inspector found numerous data sheets in which only a digital volt

meter was recorded, and not the ramp generator used as specified in the

test equipment section of the PICT. This is also considered to be an

apparent violation of Technical Specification Section 6.8.1

(50-344/85-36-01).

3. Electrical Maintenance

The electrical maintenance program was examined for conformance with

regulatory requirements, Technical Specifications, and licensee

commitments. The inspector selected a number of preventive maintenance

activities that were in progress in connection with the safety-related AC

and DC control power systems, and normal power distribution systems. The

inspector.then proceeded to review the procedures for the licensee's

corrective and preventive maintenance electrical program. The

inspector's review established that the licensee has satisfactory

procedures to accomplish electrical preventive maintenance. The

electrical maintenance procedures had similar provisions as the I&C

procedures discussed in the above paragraph 2. The only procedural

deficiency discovered was in Maintenance Procedure MP-1-5 Reactor Trip

and Bypass Breakers, which did not have the test equipment used listed in

Attachments 2 or 3. This item will be followed up on during a future

inspection (85-36-02).

The inspector reviewed work in progress and completed electrical

maintenance records and found that the licensee's electrical maintenance

program to be satisfactory. The inspector observed the following items

during the record review:

a. required administrative approvals were obtained before initiating

the work

b. the acceptance criteria were met

c. referenced procedures were' approved and appeared adequate for the

activity

d. functional testing, adjustments, and calibrations, as necessary were

completed before returning the equipment to operations

e. qualified personnel performed the activity

f. corrective and preventive maintenance records were assembled,

stored, and readily retrievable as part of the maintenance history

file.

The licensee's corrective maintenance and preventative maintenance

activities relative to electrical components and systems were conducted

in accordance wit'i the licensee approved procedures and instructions.

The electrical maintenance program appears to meet the requirements of

regulatory guides, industry codes, and the Technical Specifications.

No deviations or violations were identified in this area of inspection.

4. Follow-up on Previous Inspection Findings

(Follow-up Item 85-23-01; Closed) I&C New Computer Maintenance System

The inspector interviewed the I&C supervisor concerning the new computer

maintenance system presently being used to track maintenance. The I&C

supervisor informed the inspector that the new system was performing

excellently and had no errors for the two months in use. In addition,

the old computer tracking system was being deleted. LOOP 1136 is being

closed by the Quality Assurance Department. This item is considered

closed.

5. Exit Interview

The inspector met with the licensee representatives denoted in

paragraph 1 on October 25, 1985, and summarized the scope and findings of

the inspection activities.
