Docket No. 50-313

ENCLOSURE 1

' NOTICE OF' VIOLATION

Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted July 11-14, 1978, it

appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full ccm-

pliance with conditions of your Operating License No. DPR-51 as indicated

below:

1.

Technical Specification 6.5.2.8.C states that, " Audits of

facility activities shall be performed under the cognizance of

the SRC.

These audits shall encompass:

...

"c.

The results of all actions taken to correct deficiencies

occurring in facility equipment, structures, systems or

method of operation that affect nuclear safety at least

once per six months."

,

Contrary to the above, no audits per Technical Specification 6.5.2.8.C

have been conducted since July 28, 1977.

This is an infraction.'

2.

The facility Technical Specifications, Section 4.19.3, states in

part, "The non-supervised circuits between the local panels in

Specification 4.19.2 and the control room shall be demonstrated

operable at least once per 31 days."

Contrary to the above, the operability of the non-supervised circuits

has not been demonstrated since the issuance of Amendment No. 30

(March 3,1978) to the Unit No.1 Facility Operating License.

This is an. infraction.

3.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires in part that, " Activities

affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions,

procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances

and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions,

procedures, or drawings."

New relays were ordered. The' applicant issued Design Change

Package (DCP) #682 to perform the work necessary to change the

relays.

r

The inspector reviewed the Material Receiving Report (MRR #76668)

which contained the documentation of the seismic qualification.

~

The inspector also reviewed the DCP which indicated that the subject

relays had been changed. No discrepancies were identified. This

Inspection Findings

(1)

The inspector. identified one apparent item of noncom-

pliance during the tour of accessible areas. The inspector

found a Bechtel Weld Rod Warmer (Number 145) containing

E-7018 weld rod unplugged (cold) on the 314 foor level of

the reactor building near the demineralizer. The find-

ing of the uncontrolled weld rod and warmer is contrary

to the requirements of Bechtel Procedure WFMC-1, " Welding

Filler Material Control Procedure Specification," paragraph

4.3.4.

Paragraph 4.3.4 requires in part that, ". . .

Portable rod warmer shall be checked out and into the rod

room on a daily basis.

During use, portable rod warmers

shall be continuously heated.

. . . Unused electrodes

shall be returned to the rod storage area at the end of

each shift or destroyed." A check with the Bechtel Weld

Rod Room indicated that rod warmer number 145 had not

been returned to the room for some time. An attempt was

-

made to locate records for the warmer when it was issued

,

but these could not be immediately located. The' licensee

was informed that failure to properly control the warmer

and the weld rod was considered an infraction.

(2)

The inspector noticed that numerous channels of system

heat tracing were alarmed and could not be cleared by the

operator.

A discussion with a representative of the licensee

indicated that the systems were alarming on high alarm.

He

indicated that action would be taken to initiate work on

the systems to resolve the problem.

(3)

The inspector noticed that numerous indicating lights were

out on various electrical panels throughout the plant.

The licensee indicated these would be replaced and that

their program for replacement would emphasized.

The inspector had no additional questions in this area.

12.

Procurement (Unit 1)

The inspector's review of this area was based on procedures applicable

to Units No.1 and No. 2 and the intpection of implementation was based

on review of eight Unit No.1 and No. 2 procurement packages of safety

related components.

The inspector verified that procurecent documents used were

properly epproved and contained quality centrol inspection and

record requirements.

In addition, the inspector verified for

those ccaponents or materials which had been delivered that:

documentary evidence was available to support confermance to

.

procurement requirements; they were inspected cpon delivery and

were handled in accordance with measures established for control

and separation of nonconforming material, parts and components;

and they were supplied by an approved vendor.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

13.

Review and Audits (Unit 1)

The inspector reviewed the licensee's program of review and audits

conducted by the plant Safety Ccemittee and the Safety Review

Cxraittee.

Included were reviews and audits required by the

Technical Specifications to be ccmpleted.

The records reviewed by the inspector were as follcws:

PSC Minutes, 5/19/77 - 4/27/78

SRC Minutes, 6/13/77 - 4/10/78

SRC Audits of 1/19-20/77 and 7/26-28/77

During this review, it was established that no audit of facility

activities relative to the results of all actions taken to correct

deficiencies occuring in facility equipment, structures, systems

or method of cperation that affect nuclear safety had been conducted

by the Safety Review Cemittee since July 23,1977 (the next scheduled

audit is for July 19-20, 1978). This is contrary to the requirements

of TS 6.5.2.8.C which requires that this audit be conducted at least

once per six month period.

This matter had been discussed in an SRC meeting on June 1,1973 but

acceptable corrective action had not been proposed or cercleted at

the time of the inspection. The inspector informed the licensee that

failure to conduct the audit at the frequency required was considered

an infraction.

During the review of SRC minutes, it was established that the review

of proposed Technical Specification changes recorded on August 25,

1977 and October 31, 1977 as minutes of SRC meetings were actually a

polling of the members of the SRC which resulted in their concurrence

-

with the proposed TS changes. This matter was discussed with the

licensee relative to whether this constituted a meeting or censtituted

a quorum as specified in TS 6.5.2.5 and 5.5.2.5, respectively. This

matter is considered an unresolver, item pending epproval of changes to the

Unit No.1 TS which would clarify this catter.

Additionally, during- the review of the PSC minutes it was estab-

lished that the review of procedures and changes to procedures were

being conducted by routing of Special Meeting Review Sheets which

t

polled the members with respect to their. concurrence to the

-

procedures or changes to a procedure.

In this matter, procedures

.

and/or changes to procedures are thus approved. These review sheets

are then made a part of an actual meeting.

In some cases.the

'

procedures / changes are approved more than the maximum required time

>

of 14 days prior to an actual meeting of the PSC. This matter was

also discussed with the licensee and will remain an unresolved item

pending approval of changes.to the Unit No. 1 TS which would clarify

this matter.

The inspector had no' additional questions in this area.
