Janua ry 22, 198 Procedure 16, " Cable Storage and Handling," Revision 8, dated April ~10, 198 Procedure 22, " Quality Assurance Records System," Revision 10, dated June 19, 198 No deficiencies were identified by the inspectors as a result of this review with the exception of the following two minor discrepancies between the Sargent and Lundy (S&L) Standard, STD-EA-121 and the Hatfield Electric Company procedures and field practices: Paragraph 5.E. of STD-EA-121, requires pulling cable used to be either

'

wire, manila or hemp rope, where as Procedure 10 requires nylon rop A table in STD-EA-121 provides tensile strengths for wire, nylon and manila ropes indicating nylon to be acceptable.

'

.

.

The licensee agreed that Paragraph 5.E. of STD-EA-121 would be modified to include nylon rop Paragraph 4.A. of STD-EA-12.specified five pulling compounds, or an approved equivalent, to be used during cable pulling. Cable pull records reviewed identified the pulling compound used to be SLIP-X-300, which was not one of the five approved compounds identified in the standard. The licensee provided the inspectors with a letter from S&L which accepted SLIP-X-300 as an approved equivalen The inspectors has no other concerns in this are . Plant Walkdown to Review Installed Cables The inspectors performed a "walkdown" of nine installed Class 1E instrumentation cables in the field to review the installation for proper implementation of Hatfield cable installation Procedure 10, Revision 24 and associated procedures and standards. Areas reviewed included cable type, size, routing, bending radius, terminations, separation, function, cable installation records, traceability and protectio The following cables were selected from the licensees list of equipment required to function during a Design Basis Even , Safety Injection System, RWST leve MS029, Safety Injection System, RPS signal for L0 L0 RWST leve SI653, Safety Injection System, RWST empty light indicatio RY322, Safety Injection System, Level Indication RWS RC510, RPS Trip, High Pressure in Pressurize RC511, RPS Trip, High Pressure in Pressurize CS090, Containment Spray System, Containment Pressure transmitte MS056, RPS Trip, Containment Spray Actuatio MS057, RPS Trip, Containment Spray Actuatio For example Cable 2SI467 was reviewed in the field for the following requirements:

2SI467: Type-1 TW PR16, Shielded, 600V, Reel 02166-116; From:

Level Transmitter 2LT-0930 (DP cell), To: Cabinet 2PA01J; Actual length 690'; Function-RWST Leve The cbove cable run was inspected for terminations at both ends and routing in selected raceways 2R600 and 2R401. Type, size, separation and routing were reviewed in the field using cable tabulation sheet

$I0071 and the cable pull Card 25I467, Revision A. The installation was found satisfactory. Cable markings in the field were noted at the 05968 footage point to be IPR 16TN Shield, 600V, F-2852-P0207293-02166-B4-01T]94-2, " Samuel Moore." These markings provided traceability to procurement and receiving documents and vendor certifications. Cable termination was reviewed at Cabinet 2PA01J Terminal Block TBB 16 and 17 (Wiring Drawing 6E-2-4111A, Revision L) and at level transmitter 2LT-0930 terminal points (+) and (-) (Wiring Drawing 6E-2-4109C, Revision D). No discrepancies were foun .

Circuit function for indication of the Refueling water Storage Tank level was reviewed on Loop Schematic Diagram 6E2-40315I01, Revision Wiring diagrams were found to match requirements of the above schematic diagram, and a walkdown was performed on the associated circuits in the loop to the level inaicators in the Main Control Board MCB2PM06 During review of the referenced instrumentation cables the inspectors observed separation conflicts in other cables in the auxiliary building equipment room In addition to one ' separation conflict previously identified by the licensee, the NRC inspectors found fonr other examples of failure to maintain the minimum separation criteria' called for by Hatfield Procedure 11 for flex conduit The licensee took corrective action by rerouting the conduits in two of the above four instances of separation conflic Cable Separation Conflict Reports (CSCR) 130, 131, 132, and 133 were prepared by the licensee for the remaining two instances of separation conflict identified by the inspectors, involving cables in the auxiliary building relay roo The licensee has scheduled additional Unit 2 walkdown inspections for conduit separation, safety-related-cable trays and safety-related cable hardwar These inspections are currently scheduled to be completed April 30, 198 Pending NRC review of completion of these licensee's inspections and appropriate corrective action,_ cable separation conflicts are considered an unresolved item (455/86003-01(DRS)). Cable Storage: The inspectors reviewed the cable storage area in the Turbine Building for implementation of requirements in Hatfield Procedure 16, Revision 8, " Cable Storage and liandling."

The inspectors selected Class IE Cable Reel 01146-241-A for review of storage, traceability and current footage. Reel logs and Daily Production Reports were reviewed and found updated for the above cable ree The last footage reference for the reel in the records reviewed was noted to be 54537 This footage marker was verified on the reel in the storage area along with storage requirements including insulation of the cable end, environment control, protection from other reels and reel marking No violations or deviations'were identifie . Quality Records Review Cable markings recorded during the NRC inspection of installed cables were reviewed against installation procurement and receiving records as well as vendor certification Records were reviewed for Cables 2C5090, 2MS056 and 2SI467 for traceability to the manufacture, and material certifications of conformance to the procurement specification Installation records for the nine cable inspected verified that the size and type of cables, terminations and wireways had been installed as

.

O specified. Records of cable pulling confirmed that a procedures were followed, including pulling (tension)pplicable limits and that cable pull there was documented evidence of inspection of the completed wor Calibration records for five of the crimp tools identified on the cable pull records were reviewed and found to be traceable back to the National Bureau of Standards, and that tnese crimp tools were in current calibration at the time of their use. The calibration tools reviewed in the field were found to have appropriate calibration stickers,

Qualification records of four GC inspectors identified on the cable pull records were also reviewed. These records verified that the technicians Fad been trained and certified to perform inspections of 'nstrument cable installation activitie The Hatfield Electric Company Cable Separation Conflict Reports (CSCR)

and records were examined. The CSCR log indicated that numerous Unit 1 and 2, CSCRs had not been closed out even though a computerized record shcwed that these CSCRs had been dispositioned. On being infonred of this discrepancy the licensee took corrective action, and updated the CSCR log to indicate that all Unit 1 CSCRs had been completed. Based on the review of this computerized report (dated January 6, 1986), the NRC inspector identified 224 CSCRs for Unit 2 to be still open. The licensee provided the inspector rith a Sargent and Lundy (S&L) project status report of December 4,1985, which indicated that of 190 CSCRs received by S&L, 189 had in fact been dispositioned and only one CSCR remained open, (CSCRs initiated by Hatfield are submitted to CECO who in turn forward -

them to S&L for disposition. Once dispositioned, the CSCRs are returned to Hatfield through CECO). The licensee indicatad that one reason for such a large number of CSCRs being open was that enumbered CSCRs are issued to the users in a block of numbers. The computerized report identified both the assigned and unused of the issued block of CSCR numbers as being open. The computerized report was subsequently modified during this review to identify only the 56 CSCRs which have been assigned as open. The inspector was concerned about the number of CSCR's still open and the inconsistency between S&L and Hatfield records. Pending further review of the status of Unit 2 CSCRs, this is considered an open item. NRC (455/86003-02(DRS)). Open Items Open items are matters which have been discussed with licensee, which will- be reviewed further by the inspectors, and which inwives some action on the part of the NRC or licensee or both. An open item disclosed during this inspection is discussed in Paragraph 5 of this repor . Unresolved Items An unresolved item is a matter about which more information is required in order.to ascertain whether it is an acceptable item, an open item, a deviation, or a violation. Unresolved item disclosed during this inspection are discussed in Paragraph 4.a. of this repor . - . - - .- -. .
