Improper paint procedures Emergency Preparedness l
Perry has a very good emergency preparedness program. Timely and technically adequate management attention has been given to all NRC concerns as the licensee works toward its operating license.
In a recent SALP report the licensee was rated a SALP 1 in the area of emergency preparedness.
l The licensee's only exercise was held in November 1984. Their performance for l
< a first-time NTOL exercise was considered very good.
FEMA's final evaluation i
report on the exercise identified several minor deficiencies among the l
counties. The counties have subsequently taken actions to correct these
. deficiencies that are acceptable to FEMA.
i I
The followup to the Emergency Preparedness Implementation Appraisal (which was conducted during February and March 1985) was carried out during September 1985.
All. but two items identified during the appraisal as required for fuel load 1
were satisfactorily addressed. These two items deal with the testing of the Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) and Heating,(Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system in the Technical Support Center TSC) and Emergency Operation l
Facility (EOF). Otherwise, all Emergency Response Facilities am fully operational.
I j
Perry is in conformance with the guidelines of Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737 regarding the requirements for the TSC, EOF, and Operational Support Center (OSC). 1/24/86 l

LICENSING STATUS FOR PERRY I Perry 1 is a BWR/6, Mark III containment designed plant in the final stages of the licensing review process. The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (CEI) tendered an application for Operating License (0L) on January 31 1981.
The FES was issued in August 1982. The SER was issued in May 1982 with the latest supplement (No. 7) issued in November 1985. CEI is working t6 a fuel load date schedule which targets Perry 1 low power licensing for the week of l
January 20, 1986.
FSAR Review The staff's FSAR review is essentially complete. All outstanding SER items i
l have been resolved and documented in SSER No. 8 to be issued concurrently with i
the license.
The Technical Specifications were issued to the applicant for certification on November 19, 1985. Additional changes including deletion of fire protection j
were issued for certification by CEI.
Hearings I
The ASLB hearings were initiated in May 1983, during which time the QA Con-struction. issue was litigated. A favorable initial Board decision was issued l
on December 12, 1985, and was appealed by the intervenor (Sunflower Alliance).
)
The Licensing Board's QA decision was affirined by the Appeal Board (ALA8-802).
Hearings were completed on the emergency plans and TDI diesel generator 1
reliability issues (last reported) on April 12, 1985. Hearings on the remaining I
Jssue (hydrogen control for degraded core accidents) were concluded on May 3, 1985. The ASLB issued a. concluding Partial Initial Decision (P!D) on emergency l
planning, hydrogen control and diesel generators on September 3, 1985. This j
, decision specifies several issues to be resolved by the applicant:-emergency i
planning - 4 items; TDI diesels - 1 item; and hydrogen control - 2 items.
Both E
intervenors (Ohio Citizens for Responsible Energy and Sunflower Alliance) have I
appealed the ASLB PID as well as several other prior decisions. A motion for a stay of the PID was denied by the Appeal Board on October 24, 1985. A new motion to reopen the record and admit six new contentions involving fire pro-i tection requirements and single loop operation was filed by Intervenor DCRE on December 12, 1985.
No stay of licensing was requested and the motion to re-open is not expected to delay issuance of a low power license for Perry 1.
Construction Appraisal Team (CAT) Inspection A CAT inspection was conducted by the Office of Inspection and Enforcement on August 22-September 2 and September 12-23, 1983 at Perry Units 1 and 2.

InspectionReport(50-440/83-31;50-441/83-30) issued on November 7, 1983 noted no pervasive failure to meet construction requirements but did identify nine potential enforcement actions.
A Notice of Violation containing three viola-tions was issued to the applicant.
These matters have been rev ewed by the Region and subsequently closed.

A further audit was conducted in Ma 1985 during which these l
i remaining 13 open items were closed with some f lowup, required in the electrical system area by the region,al staff to verify implementation.
The IDI inspection is considered to be closed with all items satisfactorily resolved.

LICENSING STATUS FOR PERRY 1 There are a number of otner open inspection items.
These are:

Construction and Preoperational Testing Preoperational test phase is approximately 95% complete. The overall status of the test program is listed below.
NOTE:
Included in the i,
status below are tests which the applicant has identified as not required prior to fuel load.
Test Results Test Results No.
A > proved Verified Tests C EI By NRC Preoperational Tests 102 99 92 Acceptance Tests 118 116 83 i
I The region held a sanagement meeting on June 3, 1985 with the licensee to discuss preoperational test program deficiencies in the area of test pro-cedure adequacy, test conduct and commitment implementation.
The licensee committed to extensive corrective actions which Region III has followed and evaluated.
Although these corrective actions were slower than expected i
in manifesting themselves in actual program conduct, more recent inspections show that they appear to have been effective.
Therefore, problems with the l
preoperational test program are no longer of major concern.

LICENSING STATUS FOR PERRY 1 The staff has obtained the applicant's commitments in response to the Commission Policy Statement on offsite medical services in the Federal Register (50FR20892).
The Staff and FEMA are reviewing completion of the EP items which were conditions in the PID.
The results of the review, including confirmation by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will be provided in future supplement to the SER prior to authorization to exceed 5%
of rated power.

Security An inspection was conducted the week of December 2, 1985, which closed all remaining modules. No violations were identified and all previous violations have been satisfactorily addressed and are considered closed.
Security can support licensing and fuel load.
~
5.
Fire Prot.ection In December 1985, Region III completed its pre-licensing inspection activi-ties. All pre-licensing issues have been resolved.
A few minor hardware items are-being processed by the licensee on an acceptable schedule.
The i
licens~ee has been requested to evaluate the need to perfect safety related cable tray supports prior to exceeding 5% power.
Allegations There are current 1 tive allegation files on Perry being pursued by the staff,
.,.and are expected tf be closed in the next few weeks.
j "Most of these allegations have been reviewed in some detail but additional in-spections are required to determine if any issues have an impact on safety.
These issues are expected to be resolved prior to fuel load.
t
~
OI Investigations The Office of Investigations has three investigctions underway regarding Perry.
These items are being pursued and are not expected to impact fuel load.
Operating Shift Experience By letter dated February 6,1985,)the applicant updated experience tablesrefle (initially provided in March 1984 for operating shift positions at Perry.
The tables reflect current and projected staffing experience levels at the time of Perry 1 fuel load.
JAN 071365
i LICENSING STATUS FOR PERRY 1 At this time, no impact on licensing and availability of qualified operators is expected.
Additional operator examinations were conducted during the week of December 9,1985.
Exams are currently being graded.
Results are expected by February 1986.
