.

implemented and additional cleanliness requirements were

being adhered to for maintenance and welding activities.

Installed safety-related equipment and components were

.

being protected and maintained to prevent damage or

deterioration.

Part 21 Follow Up (92700)

The NRC inspector reviewed a 10 CFR Part 21 notification

relating to Salem Unit 1 and 2 Containment Hydrogen Analyzer

Systems.

The Part 21 notification noted that CPSES was one of

three other sites using the same system.

The NRC inspector discussed the notification with several

applicant representatives and learned that TU Electric had not

,t

received the notification as of January 29, 1988.

The Office

of Special Projects received a copy from NRC Headquarters cn

January 11, 1988.

When the applicant receives notification,

the NRC inspector will review the applicant's evaluation and

resulting actions.

This item is considered open pending

resolution (445/8802-0-01).

l

4.

Open Items

open items are matters which have been discussed with the

applicant, which will be reviewed further by the inspector,

and which involve some action on the part of the NRC or

applicant or both.

Open items identified during the

inspection are discussed in paragraph 3.

5.

interest:

l

a.

Random errors by Ebasco and Impell during walkdowns

documented in recent inspection reports were discussed in

. meetings with TU Electric and the contractors on

January 28.

to be consistent with reinspection programs conducted at

other nuclear plants.

b.

HVAC gasket material nonconforming condition report has

progressed satisfactorily since the stop work was issued.

TU Electric has committed to provide a supplemental

response to Inspection Report 50-445/8704; 50-446/8704.

d.

The program for resolution of ASME issues is progressing

satisfactorily,

e.

NCRs are being generated faster than they are being

closed out.

The NRC will be monitoring TU Electric's

progress over the next several montas,

f.

The NRC thinks the responses to SDAR-CP-83-08 and

Inspection Report 50-445/8432; 50-446/8413 need to be

supplemented.

A meeting to discuss the NRC's views will

be held first week in February.

g.

Response to NRC Compliance Bulletin 87-02 was lacking in

detail.

'

h.

TU Electric stop work in the HVAC area was considered to

be very responsive.

applicant's representatives identified in paragraph 1 of this

report.

No written material was provided to the licensee by

the resident inspectors during this reporting period.

The

licensee did not identify as proprietary any of the materials

provided to or reviewed by the resident inspectors during this

inspection.

During this interview, the NRC inspectors

summarized the scope of the inspection.
