(Closed) Open item (50-482/8429-02): This item required the licensee to
capture all training records and store them in a central location. The
NRC inspector reviewed General Procedure KGP-1800, Revision 0, " Training
and Qualification Records." This procedure provides for the capture of
all site training records. In addition, KG&E is in the process of
performing tneir annual training audit which will assure that all training
records are stored in a central location. This item is considered closed.
3. Review of Fire Protection / Prevention Program
-
The NRC inspector assessed the implementation of the Wolf Creek Fire
Protection / Prevention Program through observation and review of
documentation. The following aspects of this program were assessed:
* Combustible materials are properly controlled in safety-related
areas.
* Housekeeping is properly maintained in safety-related areas.
*
Fire brigade training sessions and drills are being conducted at ,
specified intervals.

'

                  *
                             Fire brigade equipment, including the emergency breathing apparatus,
                             is properly stored.

i *

                             Fire protection systems and equipment installed for protection of

safety-related areas are functional, properly maintained and tested

! in accordance with the requirements specified in the Technical

                             Specifications.
                  The NRC inspector observed, during a tour of the control and auxiliary.
                  buildings, that housekeeping activities were adequate. The control of
                  combustible materials was also adequate with the exception of wooden                                                                            ,
                  ladders used for work activities. These ladders were not fire retardant                                                                         *
                  and, as such, would not be allowed in safety-related areas by procedure                                                                         *
                  ADM 13-102, " Control of Combustible Materials." This had been recently
                  discussed with the licensee by the NRC resident inspectors and a verbal
                  commitment was made by KG&E to look into a solution. The NRC will follow
                  this item to determine whether a prompt and adequate. solution to this
                  problem is obtained.
                  A tour of the fire brigade training facility was made by the NRC
                  inspector. This facility allows adequate classroom training as well as
                  hands-on fire fighting training. Documentation reviewed showed the dates

                  of training received by'the fire brigade members, and training required,
                  but net yet received, was easily determined. TheLNRC inspector was given
                  a training schedule for brigade members through the end of 1985.

                       The inspection of the above surveillance tests resulted in the following

-, observations: , w Technical Specification 4.7.10.2.a requires that, among other systems, <

                       the water spray system for ESF transformers XNB01 and XNB02 be demonstrated
                      . operable at least once per 31 days, by verifying that each valve (manual,
                       power-operated, or automatic) in the flow path is in its correct position.
                       Surveillance Procedure STS FP-005, Revision 0, " Monthly Sprav/ Sprinkler
                       Valve Position Verification," is the procedure designed to satisfy this TS
;               _       requirement. However, this procedure does not require the monthly
                       surveillance of the two ESF transformers. Thus, the monthly surveillances
                       have not been performed as required by the TS. This is an apparent
                       violation (50-482/8541-01).

                       during the May 1985 surveillance test the pump was started from the
;                      control room, and during June 1985 it was started from the local control
                       panel. This failure to follow procedure is an apparent violation
