DESIGN 8ASELINE AND VERIFICATION PROGRAM ,

DNE is developing supplemental walkdown packages based upon the results of the initial walkdowns. On untt 2, as of March 4, a total of 44 supplemental packages have been received by the Systems Walkdown Group for additional walkdowns; all of these have been finished and returned to DNE.

I

! An inspection of the DNE calculation efforts and their overlap of the l Sequoyah DBVP was concluded on February 13. This 2-week inspection I examined programmatic aspects of the calculation efforts, as well as technical adequacy of specific calculations. TVA was presented with 36 observations and was requested to formally submit addltional information. Transmittal of the requested information is scheduled for March 27, 1987.

TVA has respoeded to the draft DBVP SER and will make an additional submittal by March 20, 1987, addressing the retaining issues on drawing control and Phase II scope and schedule. .

t NRC is presently conducting a'n inspection of D5VP SYSTERs which will _;

l conclude on March 13 and which should be the final D8VP inspection for -

I SQN unit 2. The TVA response to IE Report 86-55 1s now scheduled for l submittal to NRC on March 27, 1987.

• All 35 SYSTERs have been issued. The project is condu: ting an Addendum Program on the SYSTERs as a means to update issued SYSTERs to reflect any changes that may have occurred since issuance. This program is carried out in the same manner as the original SYSTER preparation (f.e.,

use of procedures, etc.). Engineering Assurance (EA) has completed approximately 80 percent of their review of SYSTERs as of February 27, 1987.

A preliminary version of the DBVP Phase I final report (for internal use) was issued on March 5. EA plans to issue a final report by April 17, 1987.

CABLE AMPACITY ISSUE The ampacity program description was submttted to NRC on December 23.

1986. The program results were submitted to NRC on February 27, 1987.

The' cable ampacity evaluation for Sequoyah has now been completed and the problems identified. Calculations originally used to dorate cables

! do not meet presort standards, and this affects the quallfled life of the cables. The work required to correct these problems is being I performed by an electrical section that is completely dedicated to ampacity concerns. The 108 circuits required for unit 2 restart are being evaluated and redesigned by this section as quickly as possible.

The schedule for this issue is currently being evaluated by TVA.

E0 PROJECT S1to modtf1 cat 1ons and work on closure of remaining open items for EQ t binder documentation continues. Remaining work includes resolution of a limited number of technical issues and field implementation items.

Approximately 92 percent of the original scope open items have been

resolved and closed out.

l Evaluation of Raychem splices installed in other than nanufacturer's recommended configuration is continuing. Adattional testing of Raychem splices representative of as-installed configurations is complete, and test results indicate no failures. Installation problems outside the '

configuration limits of the test have been noted through sample walkdowns, and a plan for corrective action has been developed that ,-

includes field inspection of all 50.49 spitees. Many problems have beert -

identified by field inspection, and corrective action has been initiated to replace unacceptable splices.

A program has been initiated to evaluate acceptability of piece parts

procured to QA Level II requirements. The impact on EQ will be addressed as specific problems are identified.

A DNQA audit of the EQ Program was completed on March 4, 1987. No significant impact on the EQ Program was identified.

SUPERHEAT l TVA provided a response to seven NRC superheat questions on February 18, i

1987. TVA noted in this response that 10 CFR 50.49 conduit seals for specific limit switches in the valve vaults have been added to the EQ program. TVA anticipates establishing qualification of these conduit sea s for superheat conditions by utilizing a methodology similar to the

February 18 submittal. Full qualification documentation will be

• i included for the conduit seals in the approp'rtate SQN EQ binder in accordance with TVA's established procedures.

-HNHrsn toevaue ir SUPERHEAT (Con't)

NRC's contract reviewers (Frankitn Research Center) indicated that TVA's February response provided the information necessary to approve TVA's methodology for qualification of equipment under superheat conditions.

SURVEILLANCE INSTRUCTION REVIEW The total number of instructions requiring review before unit 2 restart has been reevaluated by each section, and a new master list of 805 instructions has been approved by the acting plant manager. As of March 3, 1987, 516 revised SI-I Appendix F checklists have been completed for these instructions which satisfy technical specification (TS) surveillance requirements and are required before unit 2 restart.

At this time, there are 73 re-reviewed TS-related sis through formal PORC.

As a result of the SI review, a total of 68 Pros have been generated.

Of these Pros, 20 have become LERs, 42 PR0s were not reportable, and 6 are still under review.

HEAT CODE TRACEABILITY DNE has provided a position statement concerning applicable codes for piping at SON to DNS&L for review with respect to the current '

requirements shown in the FSAR. This review will determine if a clarification of the FSAR is necessary. Senior DNE management met with . . ,

the ECTG to determine issues to be addressed in the corrective sction -

plan (CAP) and corrective action tracking documents (CATDs). Agreement on the CAP and CATDs was not reached on February 7, 1987. Mr. Fox has been apprised of the specific points of the disagreement and has called for an independent assessment prior to taking any further action. TVA has contracted the services of two industry experts.to assess the points of disagreement and provide recommendations for resolution of the issues.

REPLACEMENT ITEMS PROJECT Sequoyah is the lead plant for implementing the Corporate Replacement Items Program (RIP). This week tie Replacement Items Project added 15 engineers and one technician to the project staff, bringing the overall staffing to 63.

The RIP was described to the NRC Staff at a meeting in Bethesda on January 15, 1987. At that meeting, TVA received feedback from NRC indicating that they saw a need for the RIP to address the assurance of operability of all systems within the scope of the 08VP, especially seismically sensitive items. At the meeting with the Staff held March 3, 1987, TVA discussed the proposed action plan that addresses these concerns. Currently, TVA is drafting an implementation plan for examining seismically sensitive replacement items that are within the scope of the DBVP.

Stoowork Orders As a result of concerns expressed by one of the resident inspectors, an NCR has been initiated and an administrative hold put in place for construction testing. The hold will be released on verification that ANSI requirements are fully implemented by the site procedures (QCT series).

In the area of instrument sensing lines, the stopwork order has been partially released, and a ilmited scopa of work is ongoing. For the remainder of the stopwork order. a release plan has been developed and approved through site level review. This plan contains the same-l elements as in the partial relette. Release of the stopwork.--order is . . ,

targeted for May. -

For hydrogen collection ductwork and safety-related, spiral welded HVAC ductwork, a resolution plan has been drafted, and review will begin during this period. Approximately 2,100 welds throughout the plant need to be proven adequate for seismic loading.

B Weld Task Groun Level III review of all untt I radiographs has begun. Issuance of engineering procedure for evaluation and corrective action is in process. Additional radiography required for evaluation is approximately 65 percent complete. Resource problems are impacting schedule.

Weld repair work for Control But1 ding, elevation 741, structural steel problems, continues. Initial sketches of connections are complete, and approximately 7 percent of the final drawings have been issued by DNE for package preparation. Roughly four percent of the required packages have been issued, and about two percent of the '

connections are complete. Inspection of the completed connections has begun.

. 3 C. Electrical Issues Conduit supports and other electrical issues have been combined for concurrent resolution. Cost / benefit analysis will be performed to decide which walkdown method will be used. Until the cable routing program software is qualif ted, calculations must be performed for any new cable routing to prevent overft11. Reassignment of personnel is impacting the schedule for resolution.

3. Environmentaff0uattftcation of cable No significant progress - All open items requiring documentation changes have been identified. Open items remain on approximately 54 cables, of which, about 34 require resolution of computer program and procedure problems.

A draft walkdown procedure to perform calculations for acceptability of pulling force has been prepared to document as-installed conditions for 55 cables with lost installation documentation. This procedure will be reviewed for tecnnical adequacy and need. However, procedure review is on hold awaiting decision for sketching all 1E l conduits for support anal,rsts.

E. Desian Baseline and Verification Proaram (08VP)

The name was changed from Engineering Configuration Assurance Prograd l

to D8VP to be consistent with the program name at other TVA plants. ,  ;

No significant progress - Eleven of 24 procedures have been issued.

One procedure currently is being developed. The program manual has been issued. Development of the commitments / requirements data base to be used in development of the design basis document is complete.

Limited staff resources are impeding progress.

F. Manaer Analysis and Update Procram As this is currently a critical path item for fuel load, options to reduce the manhour estimate are being pursued. The identification of '

major technical issues which need to be addressed is complete, the action plan on issues has been identified, and the implementation team is in place, with areas of responsibility defined. Minor technical issues continue to be identified, extending the scope of work. Required interfaces with other major issues have been identified. Limited resources are affecting this program.

Eautoment Seismic Qualification Completed detail review of open CAQs; completed recommended action plan to resolve issue for most siesmic Category I instruments; completed program description drafts and review for all areas; completed report section for open CAQs which will provide the consolldated corrective action plan; started writing the implementation plan; began trend study of all issue related CAQs; and developed recommended actions to improve the program.

I. Concrete Concerns Nondestructive testing of installed concrete, using the Windsor probe method, is complete. Results are being evaluated. Results indicated some areas of lower strength for which core drilling and testing will be used to determine in-place concrete strengths. The first three cora samples were found to be of acceptable strength.

J. Renlacement items project The Watts Bar Replacement Items Project has been established as part of the Corporate Replacement Items Program (RIP) following Sequoyah's lead. Return of shop spares to the Power Stores Warehouse is

- underway, and use of shop spares has been stopped. All shop spares should be returned during this period. A resolution plan has been '

drafted and is under review. Controlled, Ilmited, condittonal reprocurement is ongoing in support of maintenance activities. Site - -

procedures have been strengthened, providing stricter contr61 ef '

quality level 2 and 3 ttoms and conditional procurement release for replacement parts.

K. Corrective Action Team Approximately a15 corrective action plans will be required. To date, approximately 376 CATDs have been provided by ECTC. For these, approximately 273 corrective action plans (CAPS) have been returned to ECTG and received ECTG concurrence. Approximately 173 CAPS t. ave been submitted to the senior review panel, but none have yet been approved.

I Replacement Items Progras

On March 3, 1987, a meeting with the Staff was held to discuss TVA's strategy for verifying that the seismic qualification of equipment (wtthin the Design Baseline Vertftcation Program (DBVP), Phase 1, scope) has not been degraded l

tnrough the use of unqualified replacement items. The meeting was held in

! response to the feedback that TVA received after the January 15, 1987 meeting at which TVA initially presented its Replacement Items Program (RIP) to the Staff, t

The Program Plan for the Replacement Items has been drafted and is in internal '

l review. Consistent with the direction given to TVA by the Staff at the l

March 3,1987 meeting, the Program Plan includes the basic program .,

descriptfor., schedule, seismic screening criteria, and speelfic reference to -

all appitcable program procedures by number and title. TVA is currently working with EQE, the developer of the Seismic Qualification Utility Group's (SQUG) earthquake expertence database, to look at TVA replacement items and positively screen out items not seismically sensitive based on the SQUG database. The official submittal of the program plan is expected to be made within the next two weeks. Specific activities at each site can be found under the heading " Replacement Items Project" in each site's report.

Conditions Adverse to Quality 0

A letter was sent on March 2, 1987 to NRC on the subject of the Order Modifying Licenses (EA85-49), concerning the new procedure on identification

[ and dispositioning of conditions adverse to quality (CAQ) (Part I Section i 2.16 of Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual). The new procedure provides an i effective device for processing CAQ's arising anywhere in the TVA nuclear power program whether it be in engineering, construction or operations. TVA l

t has committed to implementing the new generic CAQ procedure by providing extensive training and an employee awareness program for all plants except' Sequoyah by March 30, 1987; due to priority efforts, it was implemented at Sequoyah on February 23, 1987.
