2.0 Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Items

(0 pen) Violation (50-244/86-02-03) Inadequate inspection of welds on the

reactor vessel head lifting rig and reactor vessel lifting rig.

In response to this violation the licensee performed the following actions:

--

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.

--

Modified the ISI Maintenance and Materials Engineering computerized

tracking program to include special lifting device inspections.

--

Conducted training of QA personnel to ensure an effective verification

inspection program.

The inspector verified that the last three items were satisfactorily

completed. The first item, establishing appropriate QC hold points in the

MHE procedures, had not yet been completed. This item remains open until

revision of and verification of appropriate QC hold points in Westinghouse

procedure RF-62.

(Closed) Violation (50-244/86-02-04) A safety related stainless steel

wire rope was purchased from an unqualified supplier and accepted by the

_ - _- __ - _ - _ - - - _-. . .- - -

.

licensee without a receipt inspection. Calibration services for direct

readout gauges for hydraulic torque wrenches were purchased from an

unqualified supplier.

In response to this violation the licensee performed the following:

--

Contacted the vendor of the stainless steel wire rope to receive

documentation to correlate the rope with the purchase order and to

correct a typographical error in the guarantee letter.

--

Revised the procurement program to add a statement to purchase

orders (P.O.s) to ensure that any requested test reports are

traceable to the specific P.O. and that receipt inspectors verify

the same.

--

Clarified the QA Manual section related to receipt inspections to

address various acceptable inspection methods.

--

Revised the appropriate administrative procedures to reflect the

! changes made to the QA Manual.

--

Provided training on the procurement and control of commercial grade

I

items.

--

Reviewed for clarity the administrative procedures related to

tagging of bulk items arriving on site.

--

Prepared and dispositioned a nonconformance report for the received

unqualified torque wrenches.

--

Evaluated suppliers of gauge / torque wrench calibrations, and

--

Informed receiving personnel of requirements to tag bulk items.

The inspector verified that all the above actions were taken by the

licensee and found them acceptable. This item is closed.

(Closed) Violation (50-244/86-02-08) The procedure used for performing

'

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.

G-1237 and G-12344 in safety related Engineering Work Request No. 4067

j was prepared and reviewed by the same individual. ,

r In response to this violation the licensee instructed electrical

4 engineers that circuit schedules are to be prepared and reviewed by

i different individuals. The electrical engineering manager now reviews

! circuit schedules to ensure they are prepared and reviewed by different

I individuals. Procedure QA-303 has been revised to provide instructions

)

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

i the licensee's program for controlling quality ha& degraded somewhat.

l 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.
