3. - Inservice Testing of Pumps and Valves - Unit l_ N
The current 40 month inservice inspection interval for Unit 1 began
August 28, 1977. The licensee submitted a proposed Technical
Specification change 6 months prior to program implementation as
requiredby10CFR50.55a(g). The program was submitted to NRC for
review 90 days prior to program implementation as required by NRC
correspondence to the licensee. The license 6's program has received
preliminary review and approval by NRC and the program for inservice
testing of pumps and valves has been implemented.
The inspector reviewed the licensee's pump and valve testing program
for completeness and exemption request accuracy. The inspector re-
viewed two test plans for compliance to Subsection IWP of Sec, tion
.XI of the ASME Code. - Exemptions were discussed with plant and
-
corporate-engineers responsible for the Inservice Inspection (ISI)
.
Program. The-inspector witnessed one monthly vibration measurement
taken on a:ssrvice water pump.
The inspector noted that a more complete NRR review of the licensee's
program is still;in progress.
Nolitems of noncompliance were noted during Lthis inspection.

The inspector reviewed'the results of the licensee's snubber
'
visual inspection program since August,1975 and identified no
significant problems with the data or inspection intervals.
During a review of inservice inspection records for pipe hangers
and supports. the inspector noted several identified discrep-
encies and requested from the licensee documentation that these
items were corrected. The' licensee could not furnish this in-
foimation during-the period of this inspection.

a. Functional Testina-
The inspector reviewed the results'of the licensee's snubber
- functional testing program, which was conducted during the
' June, 1977 outage. With the exception of the items listed
'
.
below, the inspector identified no significant problems.
, (1) LTechnical Specification 4.7.8.1.c requires that for
-.
.
each snubber found inoperable during the functional testing
of ten representative snubbers. an additional t' en snub-
bers will be tested until no more failures are 'found or
all snubbers have been functionally tested.
Contrary t5,this requirement, the licensee did not test
an additional ten snubbers for each one that did not meet
.
' the accepta'nce criteria as specified in procedure 2733B,
Hydraulic Snubber Functional Test, Revision 0, June 1,
1977. The inspector identified approximately 30 snubbers
which did not meet the licensee's acceptance criter.ia, m
This constitutes an item of noncompliance. (336/77-31-01) ,
(2) The licensee informed the inspectop that he intends to
expand his functional testing program of hydraulic snubbers
during the current outage; however, these plans did not
'
include snubbers greater than 50,000 pounds. . Because of
the nature and number of unacceptable snubbers found. in -
testing units less than 50,000 pounds, the inspector re-
quested verification from the licensee that similar pro-
blems did-not exist with the greater than 50,000 pound
snubbers. This information was not available during the-
time of. this inspection and will be reviewed during a
subsequent inspection. -(336/77-31-02) -
-b.. Seal Material Comoatability
Snubber visual inspection intervals may depend on the compatability
of seal material with the operating environment, if other than
ethylene propylene, as specified in TS 4.7.8.1. TS 4.7.8.1.a
-
requires that non-ethylene propylene . seal material must be demon-
.
~s trated compatable with the operating environment and approved
as.such by the.NRC.
This item is unresolved pending approval by NRR of the licensee's
<
non-ethylene propylene seal . material. (336/77-31-03)

c. Snubber Setpoint Verification
Section XI of the ASME Code, Examination Category K-2, calls for
the verification of support settings of shock absorbers and
snubbers; however, TS Table 4.4-4, Inservice Inspection Program -
Safety Class I Components, item 4.6 takes exception to per-
fonning this verification. In addition, the licensee's visual
inspection program of hydraulic snubbers does not perform this
verification. This item will be forwarded to NRR for resolution-
and will be readdressed during a subsequent inspection. (336/
.
77-31-04) ,
6. Preparation for Refueling - Unit 2
a. Scope
The inspector reviewed licensee procedures pertaining to fuel
receipt, inspection, accountability, fuel transfer, core veri-
fication and spent fuel inspections, with respect to requirements
of Technical Specifications and ANSI N18.7-1973. New fuel re-
-
ceipt, inspection and accountability records were reviewed for _
conformance with plant procedures.
.
'
b' Findings
After reviewing the above procedures, the inspector discussed
several procedural items with the Reactor Engineer. These
items, where applicable, were incorporated into the refueling
procedures prior to final approval and use of the procedures
for refueling.
During review of new fuel receipt and inspection records, the in-
spector noted that 72 new fuel assemblies had been received and
inspected. The inspector verified the qualification of the new
fuel inspectors. Discrepancies noted on fuel inspection records
had been dispositioned by the licensee, all fuel passed inspection.
No inadequacies were noted with this review.
.
7. Refueling Activities - Unit 2
a. Pre-Fuel Handling Activities
The inspector verified by rurd review, observation, and dis-
cussions with plant personnel that the following refueling pre-
requisites were completed. ,

(2) -Fuel handling equipment functional checks
(3) Operability of plant systems necessary for refueling as
delineated in OP 2209A, Revision 3.
During the review of completed surveillance procedures, the
inspector noted coments written on the working copy of the
procedure which, if incorporated into the procedure, would
,
improve the procedure. These items were brought to the
'
attention of the licensee and procedure changes were immedi-
ately initiated. The inspectors expressed concern that
constructive procedure coments were not being picked up by '
plant management for incorporation into plant procedures. A
licensee representative stated that this item would be dis-
cussed with plant operatir.9 personnel.
No items of noncompliance were identified.
b. Fuel Handling Activities ,
, d
The inspector verified by direct observation and record review
i
that fuel handling activities were being conducted in accordance
with approved procedures and Technical Specification require-
ments. Items inspected included:
(1) Core monitoring during refueling was as required

c. Findings -
'
New Fuel! Elevator Modification
'
(1)
,
The New Fuel Elevator-was modified to allow for detailed
spent fuel inspection during the refueling. The inspector
reviewed references (1) (2) and -(3) with respect to the
,
scope stated above. Reference (1) contains a ' safety ,
evaluation performed by a corporate engineer to detemine
Lif this modification is an unreviewed safety question as #, #
..
'
defined by 10 CFR 50.59. This safety evaluation underwent
a technical review performed by a Northeast Utilities
'
Service Company (NUSCO) Discipline Engineer, dated November
2, 1977. This technical review stated that the modification
,
in question was not an unreviewed safety question provided
S that certain precautions / surveillance test / analysis be
done prior to use of the elevator. Two of these provisions
were'(1) that-a seismic analysis be performed on the
structure, and (2) that both the electrical and mechanical
, upper stops be tested in the spent fuel inspection position.
rv The licensee identified a problem with performing a ;
seismic analysi's on the elevator. This problem stems
~
'
'from the difference in the two vendors supplying the
L hardware for this modification.
!
1 ~The~ requirement for a seismic analysis was re-evaluated
_ and it was determined that the analysis.would be necessary
, for pennanent installation of the. elevator and that for
~
E
use during the refueling only. -the analysis is not necessary.
- *
fr The licensee plans to pursue- this problem in order to
allow for making the installation .a permanent one. This ,
'
item (336/77-31-05) is unresolved pending review of the
seismic-' analysis.-

The inspector identified a problem with the second pro-
vision in that reference (3) which is the preoperational
test procedure for the new fuel elevator did not identify
a requirement for testing the mechanical upper stop. The
inspector brought this item to the attention of the
cognizant engineer prior to the start of the refueling;
however, upon follow-up, the inspector discovered .that at
least one spent fuel assembly was inspected and the
mechanical stop had not been tested. The inspection of
spent fuel was imediately halted pending resolution by
the licensee. This item (336/77-31-06) is in noncompli-
. ance with requirements of 10 CFR 50.59 since the elevator
was used prior to verifying the modification as not an
unreviewed safety question. The inspector reviewed the
installation drawings of the mechanical upper stop mech-
anism and discussed the item with cognizant licensee
personnel. It was subsequently determined that testing
only the electrical upper stop also verified the instal-
lation of the mechanical upper stop, thus mitigating the
safety concern of this item. ""
(2) Pressurizer Spray Valve Replacement
The Pressurizer Spray Valve is being replaced with a
similar valve to rectify valve leakage problems which
occurred during cycle one operation. Reference (4),(5)
and (6) were reviewed with respect to the scope stated
above. At the time of this inspection, installation and
retest procedures had not been approved.
This item is unresolved pending review of these procedures
during a subsequent inspection. (336/77-31-07)
(3) Charging Pump Suction Stabilizer
Flow Stabilizers are being installed in the suction lines
of the three che:ging pumps to dampen vibrations currently
effecting the chemical and volume control system upstream
of the charging' pumps during pump operation. Reference
.
'
(7),(8)and(9)werereviewedwithrespecttothescope
stated above. The inspector noted that plant retest
procedures had not been developed yet. This item will be
reviewed during a subsequent inspection and is an unresolved
item. (336/77-31-08)

The inspector also observed part of the maintenance in
progress on charging pumps A and C. The housekeeping and
radiological controls met plant requirements. Qualifica-
tion of personnel performing the maintenance was discussed
i
with the job project manager. The inspector had no
further questions on this item.
'
l 9. Optage Recovery Preparations - Unit 2 i
.
The inspector reviewed procedures pertaining to overall plant
startup and individual system startup (Reactor Coolant System. Out
of Core Nuclear Instrumentation, Feedwater System. Control Rod
Drive System; and Emergency Core Cooling System) for the post
outage recovery. The inspector noted that supervisory personnel
are required to sign com)leted checklists for system lineups and
that checklists insure t1at systems disturbed during the outage-
have been returned to normal.
No uliacceptable areas were identified during this review. "
The inspector reviewed the plans, procedures and drawings associated
with the below listed Job Orders (J0s) and Maintenance Procedures
(MPs) to determine if adequate plans for retest of the system
existed prior to return of the system to service.
-- Modify Low Pressure Safety Injection Pump shaft sleeve and re-
pa4r-seal leakage, JO R-70291

lation and Testing, MP 3195-77 and I ind C, MP 2421C.
'
-
No unacceptable areas were identified during this review.
10. Planned Startup Testin9 --Unit 2 '
The inspector reviewed the licensee's Technical Specifications and
correspondence with NRC for. requirements and comitments regarding
Cycle 2 startup test programs. These items were discussed with the
Reactor Engineer; however, the procedures required to implement the
startup program were not written at the time of this inspection. .
These procedures will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.
This item (336/77-31-09) is unresolved pending this review. 4

11. Plant Tour and Offshift inspection ,
The second week of this inspectior, began during the evening shift
at the beginning of refueling operations. The inspector observed
the control room oparators during fuel movement until equipment
problems halted the refueling.
During this inspection, the inspectors made several tours thru the
containment and auxiliary building as described in the details of
this report. '
No items of noncompliance were noted.
- 12. Unresolved items
Items about which more information is required to determine accepta-
bility are considered unresolved. Unresolved items are identified in
paragraphs 4, 5. 8 and 10 of this report.
