Reviewed and revised the refueling procedures to assure QC hold
--
points relative to Material Handling Equipment (MHE) procedures were
established.
Provided a formal training program to assure MHE personnel had
--
received indoctrination and training on procedural requirements.

maintenance of the circuit breakers for component cooling system "B"
pump
did not specify acceptance criteria for measuring the resistance of the
i
circuit breaker; and the technician and QA inspector performing the
activity were not proficient in that they failed to verify the calibration
status of the measuring instrument used.
The licensee responded to this violation by taking the following actions:
The mega deck calibrator, used for calibrating meggers, is now being
--
controlled as Category II M&TE and has been scheduled to be
recalibrated annually.

l
The result of two previous region-based NRC inspections and two
-
resident inspections (85-04, 86-02, 86-16, and 86-18) indicate that
the licensee's program for controlling quality ha& degraded somewhat.
i

As a result of these inspections the licensee initiated corrective
j
actions to upgrade their quality assurance program.
The following
three programs appear to be the most effective:

A "Back to Basics" program is being given to middle and lower
--
level management personnel which stresses the " whys" and
" rationale for" a quality program as mandated by 10 CFR 50
Appendix B requirements.
A severity level program, has been established for monitoring,
--
controlling and escalating corrective action requests and
nonconformance reports.
If a satisfactory response to a finding
is not received within 30 days the finding is escalated to the
next higher level.
The station superintendent gets a monthly
report on the status of all findings.
--
A QA/QC subccmmittee has been permanently established which
reports to the off-site safety review committee.
This sub-
committee meets monthly to review quality related concerns.
Each month the committee receives a copy of the monthly status
report on quality related findings and a special listing of the
top ten findings.
They also initiate programs to promote
quality.
In addition, the licensee has recently completed having an
independent survey performed of a large . ample of staff at all levels
to determine their attitude towards quality and management.
Results
of this survey are now in the process of being evaluated by the
licensee.
3.2 Findings
Improvements were noted in the prioritizing of corrective actions for
'
licensee identified nonconformances.
Effective use of plant staff
and committee meetings was discussed with the licensee's senior
management who acknowledged the comments and stated that this area
would be reviewed for possible improvements.
No violations or
unresolved items were identified.
4.0 Plant Tours
During this inspection period the inspector toured the control room, the
turbine building and administrative offices.
It was noted that
scaffolding was erected throughout the control room for the purpose of
changing the lighting system.
(Subsequent to this inspection this
scaffolding has been removed).
No violations were identified.
5.0 Exit Meeting
An exit meeting was held on December 19, 1986, to discuss the inspection
scope and findings, as detailed in this report.
(See Paragraph 1.0 for
attendees).
At no time was written material given to the licensee.
The inspector
determined that no proprietary information was utilized during this
inspection.
