r MAY 13 Lg88 Docket Nos. 50-317 50-318 Baltimore Gas and Electric Company ATTN: Mr. J. - A. Tiernan

.Vice President Nuclear Energy Post Office Box 1475 Baltimore, Maryland 21203 Gentlemen:

Subject:

Alleged Deficiencies in the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation and Controls Program This office has received an oral report of alleged deficiencies within the Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) area of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. The essence of these allegations is that:

I&C drawings do not match the as-built conditions. Specific examples cited include the volume control tank indication in the control room and auxiliary shutdown panel, and that terminal boards are not labeled and terminal numbers do not agree with I&C drawings.

.There has been inadequate / improper review of procedure changes prior to performance of safety-related work. Specifically, during routine surveil-lance of containment pressure transmitters, a technician noted that the l surveillance test procedure referred to an incorrect wire to be lifted and that the technician changed the procedure on the spot and then performed the evolution per the changed procedure without required review.-

Licensee technicians loiter in radiation areas. Specifically, while per-forming surveillance testing on a steam generator level transmitter inside containment, a licensee technician wanted to delay completion of a pro-cedure in order to avoid the possibility of another less attractive work assignment.

Licensee and contractor I&C technicians are inexperienced and generally l have an electrical rather than I&C experience background.

Quality control inspectors are not technically competent to inspect work l

assigned.
